Critics call out Extinction Rebellion’s race problem
Eh? It’s the human race they don’t like.
“Live from the royal courts of justice,” Extinction Rebellion London wrote. “It has been announced that all protesters arrested during the April rebellion will be prosecuted. We are asking the police and legal system to concentrate on issues such as knife crime, and not non-violent protesters who are trying to save our planet.”
For those with ears tuned to hear it, the dogwhistle sounded clear. Stop bothering us non-violent protesters; focus instead on those frightening inner-city neighborhoods, where black children carry knives.
“It was feeding into a racist narrative,” says Guppi Bola, an activist with the Wretched of the Earth, an environmental group that focuses on black, brown, and indigenous voices. “When those kinds of things come up, then of course you are not going to feel welcome.”
I think Guppi can fuck off here, don’t you think?
“..an activist with the Wretched of the Earth, an environmental group that focuses on black, brown, and indigenous voices.”
Perhaps she should campaign in the Third World then?

Extinction Rebellion v the Sepoy Mutiny
Mind you, Indians pretending to like blackies are absolutely shameless liars, and may Gandhi’s dangly brown testicles strike them down.
I know plenty of Hindoos and Sikhs and if Racism had a CEO, it’d be an Indian chappie or she-chap (but a Chinaman would probably steal their IP). It’s only stupid white people who think racism is a mortal sin or something, which is why Guppy is using it as a rhetorical shiv against them.
Absolutely not. Encourage them, send them arms shipments.
If X-R weren’t in drag and whiteface they’d be wall to wall old gammon. Just look at the fuckers.
A thousand likes for the Guppy. When your enemies are fighting each other best to encourage both sides.
’… an environmental group that focuses on black, brown, and indigenous voices.’
Excellent! I’m indigenous. Reckon she speaks for me??
Nah. Didn’t think so.
Every one of them who was obstructing the highway should be prosecuted for, you know, obstructing the highway, blade or no blade.
I am intrigued, though. As I have pointed out here before, the only gun violence problem in the U.S. is with black men. 6.5% of the population commit 55% of murders with firearms.
Is the knife crime epidemic in England the same, is it primarily within ethnic group(s)?
A friend of mine used to breed guppies. I couldn’t see the point, they would just move around lethargically, their mouths opening and closing but nothing coming out that was of any interest. Nominative determinism much?
Guppi can most certainly Foxtrot Oscar. Mind you so can XR. I just wish the police used their batons a bit more to get these twats to move quicker. Pity no one on the aircraft forcibly ejected that idiot yesterday too.
If I heard on the news that Guppi had been shanked outside a Mississippi Fried Chicken ‘shop’ I think it would raise a titter.

What a pity that XR aren’t carrying old gardening shears…

I’m an indigenous Yorkshireman, they don’t speak for me.
Most extinction rebellion people are quite because they’re the idle rich.
It’s like when you go to university open days and the women around medicine are heavily Asian. Why women programmers in companies are about 80% Asian.
Steve,
“I know plenty of Hindoos and Sikhs and if Racism had a CEO, it’d be an Indian chappie or she-chap (but a Chinaman would probably steal their IP). It’s only stupid white people who think racism is a mortal sin or something, which is why Guppy is using it as a rhetorical shiv against them.”
Most Hindus and Sikhs I know make Farage look like a bleeding heart liberal. Capitalism? Fans. Racism? Yeah. Exiting the EU? Hell yeah. Stringing up criminals by the goolies? Yip yip yip.
“Perhaps she should campaign in the Third World then?”
K, I’m further intrigued. How did you know that ‘Guppi’ is a female?
BoM4:
There is talk that some Indian people might be a tad Islamophobic as well, what with that whole partition thing.
Still, it’s good to know that our betters have imported the Kashmir conflict as well as their other contributions to diversity such as the Sunni-Shia divide, so when it all kicks off we can rest assured that it’s going to be truly vibrant.

This XR statement is trying to deflect blame from XR after more than all of the Metropolitan Police’s spare resources were used to deal with their childish antics and two schoolboys (at least one of whom seems to have been completely innocent) got murdered in London within five hours.
Knife crime in England is largely within a racial group (both murderers and victims being second/third-generation Afro-Caribbean male youths) and largely in London but it is not exclusively so (there was a picture of a fat white schoolboy who had got a light sentence for killing his Asian “friend” in an argument about robbing a drug dealer).
“How did you know that ‘Guppi’ is a female?”
Gender is a social construct don’tcha know, like a Meccano set, so I went ahead and constructed it.
Much as I despise XR the Met having to police their buffoonery didn’t lead to more black kids stabbing each other to death. Unless we plan on having about a million police officers patrolling London you aren’t going to stop them. The problem is five decades in the making and the police can do almost nothing to solve it.
Thanks, John. Same as in U.S. then.
There’s quite a lot of knife crime between as well as within minority ethnic groups, because gangs tend to be built around ethnicity. So Windies v Pakis; Turkish v Greek Cypriots etc.
Just keep in mind that all these people are Leninists.
Consistency isn’t desirable. What matters is how you can hurt your ideological rivals to achieve dominance. The only question you should ever have is ‘is this argument effective *right now*?’ If a different, contradictory, argument is effective tomorrow then don’t worry about consistency – just use it.
Remember in 1984 when O’Brien explains the Party. ” Power is not a means, it is an end.” What you’re seeing is the beginning of this. They’ll use any tool to achieve dominance because power is their goal.

Apparently the numbers line up quite closely in London… but it is of course hideously racist to notice this.

Very good!
I’m not going to complain; the more the Woke attack each other over smaller and smaller imaginary infringements, the better. Keeps them busy attacking themselves, and puts off the vast majority of sensible people even more.
