A very good one being ......if you are a 'white' person would you want a
A) white' family
Or B) (to use the trendy acronym) a BAME family
Or C) a same sex married couple/family
Or D) I don't care
buying the house next door to you?
If your answer is D) with the proviso 'as long as they behave themselves and don't offend me' the next question is 'which of the three do you expect not to 'behave themselves or not offend me'?
AB is it me or have you deliberately decided only three of the potential new neighbours will not behave.

We will be soon.I see Bernie Eccelstone is getting some crap for saying its not his fault he's white, as much as I dislike the dwarf he does have a point as it does feel like we are being victimised for not being from a ethnic minority
Form your own group now - Scottish Lives Matter, English Lives Matter, Welsh Lives Matter, Irish Lives Matter.....

Oddly enough they've moved it. Try this link.....

Same issues with preferences. Essentially unlocking the front door and allowing the baddies in. Not for me!
Must be an iPad thing. Basically, she said on her Twitter account that "White lives don't matter" which, as you can imagine, created a bit of a sh*t storm.
She deleted her tweet, but not before it was seen by many. Cambridge Uni have backed her to the hilt....surprise , surprise.
Here's the blurb from the website...
Professor Priyamvada Gopal, a fellow of Churchill College, sparked a backlash after she posted the tweet saying: “I’ll say it again. White Lives Don’t Matter. As white lives.”
Since posting, the professor has received death threats and abuse, while a petition was launched demanding that she be fired by Cambridge University.
Prof Gopal later confirmed that the tweet had been deleted by Twitter, but said she stood by it as it was about “structure and ideology” rather than people.
She wrote: “I would also like to make clear I stand by my tweets, now deleted by Twitter, not me.
“They were very clearly speaking to a structure and ideology, not about people. My Tweet said whiteness is not special, not a criterion for making lives matter. I stand by that.”
The academic and activist also shared abuse she had been received both publicly and privately following the tweet.
One person replied saying she was “disgusting inside and out”, and, “f you don’t like white people, pack up your sh*t and go home. Problem solved.”
Other examples included: “...On another note, kill yourself. Else someone might show you which lives really Matter
”“Why would you want to abolish whiteness anyway, we’ve given you everything you own, without us you’d still be chasing Bush meat with a blowpipe.”

Prof Gopal, who revealed on Thursday that she had been promoted to full Professorship in the English department, was defended by Cambridge University as well as by the University and College Union (UCU).
In a statement, Cambridge University said: “The university defends the right of its academics to express their own lawful opinions, which others might find controversial.
“[It] deplores in the strongest terms abuse and personal attacks. These attacks are totally unacceptable and must cease.”
The Cambridge branch of the University and College Union (UCU) wrote: “Solidarity with Priyamvada Gopal - being targeted with vile sexist and racist abuse for speaking up against white supremacists.
“We are proud to be your colleagues both on the picket line and off it. #BlackLivesMatter #Solidarity.”
However, the university’s support of Prof Gopal has been criticised by some as inconsistent, with some pointing to the recent removal of Noah Carl from a research position at St Edmund’s college over links with far right extremist groups.
'The university defends the right of its academics to express their own lawful opinions, which others might find controversial.'
Really, so it IS lawful to demote and ridicule white people? Since when has that been accepted in our society laws??
'Structure and idealogy'...Whose exactly..The feckin brain washing koran?
I hope she gets fucked over for this..More fuel on the fire is not what we need.

I could be wrong, but this could be one of those cases where people are cherry picking sentences in order to suit their agenda. From one of the phrases quoted, she's on about whiteness not being a special criteria for a person's value. The whiteness cited isn't just about skin colour either.
This smacks of cheap hacks deliberately miss quoting to stole the fire and make their report more newsworthy.

So that's an intelligent woman making a statement that she should know will be misconstrued by the media & everyone else ?
Sorry that just don't wash with me, its a clearly inflammatory statement, utterly racist & well out of order, she should be arrested & charged just as you or I would be, but obviously that wont happen due to the colour of her skin
To be honest I don't know what to make of her comments. They don't make any sense to me.
Two of The responses that have been quoted are a great example of people who probably think racism doesn't exist and that they definitely, absolutely aren't racist.....yet manage to display it by the bucketload.
I agree with you. She's a feckin' professor (allegedly) so you can't tell me that she has no idea what she's saying and what sort of reaction it will provoke.So that's an intelligent woman making a statement that she should know will be misconstrued by the media & everyone else ?

She's got a bit of a reputation for throwing out controversial comments designed to provoke a particular kind of response...not just here in Britian but also in India.
Some of her statements made about the Indian caste system in various Indian media are particularly inflammatory. I gather that she's persona non gratis with the Hindu community over there.
I have a BsC (Hons).I'll remind you of a previous post regarding my experience with PhD people at work.
Education, Intelligence and Common Sense.
They are not interrelated.
I saw a guy going up and down the full length of an alphabetical list looking for a name
Is that included?
Is that what the cousins call a slam dunk
I'm sure a course of antibiotics will clear it up in no time.
The jury is out on that
Obviously not a blanket statement.
But I don't think PhD should arrive directly after primary degree.
Should be a requirement for post grad relevant experience of many years.
I'll raise your BsC (Hons) and chuck in my 25 yds swimming certificate.
