I WROTE THIS FROM A VERY BRITISH PERSPECTIVE IN RESPONSE TO A FRIEND WHO WAS PUSHING THE ALL LIVES MATTER SAYING HE WAS TRYING TO GIVE A MORE BALANCED VIEW OF THE SITUATION
I would say it’s fairly simple it’s a matter of where your investment is if you are Priti Patel [our current home secretary] or one of the other ethnic minority Conservative members of Parliament, or you have a good job in the legal profession for example . you know which side your bread is buttered and you are not going to upset the status quo now are you. If you do you actually won’t have your position and influence any more.
Those fighting on the black lives matter side of the equation no matter what their ethnicity. Tend to be people who believe that black people and ethnic minorities, are actually oppressed and want to see a fair equal distribution of wealth and an end to privilege with in the society.
Those on the other side shouting all lives matter and calling the black lives matter peeps thugs and extreme left wing communists. Tend to be those who will lose their status and privilege of being the white indigenous people of northern Europe { an not all actually British often in this day and age they are people who have come from east european European community country`s
Hungary, Poland, Latvia, Estonia , Lithuania Slovenia and the Czech republic ] if change is actually brought about.
Who at heart would really like to see an all white English conservative society. Even those who may not actually be white English. Many of them feel like this. If you remember the BBC sketches in goodness gracious me with Meera Syal. Sanjeey Bhaskar and gang playing the (kumas) SORRY Coopers joining the golf club and paying for their seats to the vicar in the parish church that is the Priti Patel and the ethnic Conservative brigade.
So yes black lives matter and its supporters do see it as a matter of class. It is the preposterous idea that has been bread in to the United Kingdom population and educationally reinforced by the government and elites since the days of the British empire that white is right, white is might and any thing else is simply not good enough . Of course the church and religion along with slavery had a large part to play in this as well. in all parts of the empire . Cleanliness is next to godliness so woe betide a working man turning up at the Chapel, Kirk or Church still black from the mine . Even in India you must have been aware of the whiteness of skin in the high cast Indians my dear friend Nicky on your many trips there. What ever else India has to offer. The cast system that still operates is definitely a white skin privilege thing, the browner your skin the lower CAST. An in most country’s across the world the darker your skin or the redder you are seen to be the general trend is that you must be a worker not an elite. So the elites can then talk down to you or even just walk all over you and get away with it. An this is why it is possible for the force of law and the institutions of government and the state to abuse and treat you as less than a human being. This is what black lives matter and its supporters be they from what ever group gay, lesbian, Roma, Native Americans, Rohinyga, Australian aboriginal, all first nation people of any country’s are fighting for the right to be equal to the governing elites.
They are fighting to to bring down their policy’s of oppression and division in order to maintain exploitative control. By which the elites retain their power and economic position.
So yes its a class thing, its a capitalist thing look how our own government is back by hedge funds that bet against us straying in the european Union. The answer is egalitarian equality and collective consensus governance by the people for the people of planet earth on a wider scale. here in the United kingdom or even just in England a truly representative government of the electorate would help, first past the post is completely broken system. It is not a democratic or egalitarian that is for sure.
An yes all lives matter, No one should face abuse for who they are and what they think but conversely no one should oppress any one for what they look like or say or think. An that should apply across the whole world in all nations but we know it is not eh case so lets fix it every where we can an that requires all those who believe that is how it should be to stand up and say we are not going to put up with this any longer. An risk being a martyr for the cause .sadly .
