The 'Black Lives Matter' Controversy: A Statement

The recent spate of statue-toppling and civil unrest which has accompanied the Black Lives Matter protests seems to have come to an end - or at least wind down.  Now that the heat of the moment is over, it is appropriate for the Socialist Motherland Party to make a statement regarding this issue.

The excuse for confrontation.

The Black Lives Matter riots started in the USA and then rapidly spread across North America and Europe.  What sparked them was the death in custody of a Black man by the name of George Floyd.  There has been much talk about the character of Floyd.  According to some researchers, he was a serial criminal and a drug addict, whose life of crime included the burglary of a house during which Floyd held a gun to the belly of a pregnant woman, putting her life and the life of her unborn child in serious danger.  But the character of a suspect doesn't make his death in custody alright, even if it does make his elevation to the status of martyr appear somewhat excessive.  The key factor which was jumped upon as an excuse to engage in divisive and destructive protests, was his skin colour.  The American police are infamous for killing people.  Rather than this being a race issue, it is an issue of policing in a far away country, and one which the people of the USA need to address, not people across the 'west'.

Not relevant outside the USA.

The British Isles are not a part of the USA!  This really shouldn't need to be said, but unfortunately it does.  The mass media and entertainment industry refer to the President of the USA not as such, but simply as 'the President'.  In the UK we dial 999 for emergency services, yet due to media-addling and education-poisoning, it is possible to dial 911 for the same services.  There are people in the UK who have demonstrated against Donald Trump, President of a foreign country, carrying banners proclaiming 'not my president'!  The Black Lives Matter protests are not relevant to the UK and Ireland.  Whilst the USA has a history of segregation and racism, the British Isles have not.  Our lands are famous for being welcoming and tolerant.  The BLM protests here have created division where it didn't previously exist.

Attacking statues is pointless and pathetic.

The only people who benefit from the divisive id politics which is being pushed by the national capitalist race supremacists, banker-capitalist zionists and the global capitalist neo-liberals, are those who serve the present economic system, and who have a vested interest in keeping people distractd from the reality that the only issue which matters is class.  

The Ruling Class across Africa (Arab and Black Africa) owned Slaves long before European imperialists ventured into that sick trade.  The European Ruling Class owned Slaves in Europe, before finding it more lucrative to buy people abroad to use as cheap labour.  Those who identify along racial lines and ignore the despicable deeds of the Ruling Class against the Working Class, who hero-worship the monarchies of their respective ancestral nations, allow the contemporary tyrants to continue unopposed.

The Black Lives Matter protests are part of the IDPol globalist capitalist agenda, and are anti-Socialist

America is burning. Across the world, white liberals are making a spectacle of themselves, apologising for some imaginary guilt based on skin colour (failing to appreciate just how racist that is!), with white women shaving their hair off in some bizarre self-flagellation episode for the sin of their ethnicity.

Why is this happening? It is happening because in the USA, a black man died in custody when being arrested by a multi-racial group of officers, the white one of whom caused the man to die by asphyxiation by kneeling on his neck. Oddly, whites are taking to kneeling down as a sign of sympathy. OK, that was a bit facetious, but nonetheless, the protests and riots are becoming increasingly bizarre.

So who was the man who died in custody? Who was the man who is being portrayed as a martyr?

George Floyd was a serial criminal whose last trip to prison was a stint from 2007 to 2014 for breaking into a woman's home and robbing her whilst pointing a gun at her stomach and threatening to kill her. The man whose image is springing up on murals in the Falls Road, Belfast, and other places, was a violent criminal, a burglar, a thief. When he was killed, he was in custody for suspicion of theft, having tried to buy goods with what looked like a fake $20 note and upon being refused service, simply taken the goods and walked away. The 6'6" giant with a history of violence was intoxicated and his decision to resist arrest proved fatal.

The death of a known violent criminal in police custody is being used as an excuse for violence against people, for burning neighbourhoods, for looting shops. The racist idpol mafia are using it as an excuse to cause racial division, and the bourgeois liberal masochists are using it as an excuse to attack people simply for being white.

Don't get sucked into what is in reality a policing issue and one which concerns the USA only. All Lives Matter. The incident in the USA is nothing special, it is nothing to do with racism, it is an irrelevance which is being jumped upon as an opportunity to create racial conflict and to promote the insanity of idpolitics globally.
