You sound upset.
The thread is western society, which includes New Zealand.
We have a democracy where anyone with money has more influence on our politicians and the laws we live by than any vote.
We live in a society where a criminal can be set free because of a minor technicality... such technicalities can also be bought... you can either pay a police officer to lose a file, or you can afford a lawyer who will take the time to find errors in the case against you so you get off... whether you did it or not.
Why am I being so mean... why am I being so harsh on the US and the UK and the west?
Well if the west didn't brandish its morals and ethics on others like a weapon perhaps I would be less inclined... but when you hear US politicians saying things like... I don't care what the facts are... America is not to blame... then I wonder what you think you are defending and why you think it is so perfect and so above criticism?
My post was about how BLM is completely staged. That's why we see BLM movements and riots in Australia and NZ. And that's the reason why I shared the link about how in NZ they couldn't find a BLACK man to prove their point so got hold of an Indian American male.
Yeah, it might take staging in the US because it happens so often half the people don't give a shit anymore and the other half know it wont make a difference anyway.
If you think this is about Black then you are an idiot... people suffer abuse from the small minded for all sorts of reasons other than the particular shade of skin they have... sometimes it is age related, sometimes it is weight related, sometimes gender, sometimes religion, often it is because the person looks poor and we don't want those sort of people around here.
After the last 60 odd years of preaching via the television and movies I would have thought america had figured things out, but as Star Trek was always preachy, but now Star Wars and even the British are doing it with Doctor Who... you talk about broken familes and alcoholism and drugs I think if you are American you need to look in a mirror because Australia is about 10 years behind you and New Zealand is another 5 years behind them when it comes to the lemming running full speed at the cliff.
Racism is everywhere... even in New Zealand, and we speak out about it when it confronts us like it did with Americas last real life informercial on police officers murdering the people they are supposed to be protecting. Cosby brought us up well, which is why we are so shocked at the dirty reality.
Even your TV shows about broken families were nice and didn't really tackle serious issues... "My two dads" redone today would have screaming gays like "Will And Grace", "Kate and Ally" would be lesbians shacked up with each other rather than just friends living together with their children to pay the rent...
Different Strokes even mixed colour into the orphan thing... Hell I remember a kids programme called ARK II or something with a white guy, an Asian woman (hot) and some hispanic boy travelling around in a huge truck in a post apocalyptic America writing wrongs and generally saving people it was too religious for my tastes but even then the ethnic diversity is something that has been pushed in western society... by American TV and Movies since the 1970s and before...
But, lets lash out and pretend nothing is wrong... having half the population thinking they can't get ahead wont hurt and their numbers are growing... US debt has hit 24 trillion.... full steam ahead everything is perfect or will fix itself we don't need to do anything or change anything at all...
