    Did this argument start from Trump saying he wanted a far right, violent white supremacist group to "stand by"?

    That seems significantly and worryingly more racist than the structural issues we have in the UK.

    his reasoning being that "because someone has to do something about Antifa and the left".

    Which implies he thinks that:

    a) fascism is not something that should be fought against
    b) law and order is the job of armed militia and not the police
    c) "the left" is extremism?

    You wouldn't get majority vote for a black woman, in here, never mind in the US elections. :neutral:

    Anywhere in Europe
    For the usual wokeys that are calling this out and sort of implying its because the UK is racist, can you name a black female public figure in the UK who you can see being qualified to lead the country?

    I can't think of one and I can't think of any black female in the UK who I can see right now as being qualified enough to lead the country
    I forgot about this, meant to comment earlier. So you can't think of one, and you can't think of one. You're rambling as much as the dotard.

    Have I really just read a page of someone arguing that there are no impediments to social mobility in the UK, let alone for minorities. Any that any cream would have risen to the top?

    Not me. I just think it is possible the UK will elect a PM from an ethnic minority background because there is reasonable evidence to support this.

    That shouldn't be confused with wider issues in society.

    I have already made the point that Pakistan elected a woman despite women largely being unseen in society.

    Denying there's a systemic problem in most of the world isn't a very good look. In my opinion.

    The bad look is projecting your own misplaced guilt onto Cakestop and the UK as a whole. That makes you the one who looks silly.

    You are the one with the inbuilt problem. We will only move forward when the likes of you lose this misplaced guilt complex.

    It's bad enough the likes of you does not respect democracy, let alone trying to guilt trip the UK to make yourself feel better.

    No guilt here, pal. Not about this anyway.

    What on earth are you talking about?
    I'm calling you out on implying the Cakestop is racist. That is your guilt trip, not mine and you look silly for implying so!
    Not sure where you are getting that from?

    Well BLM are doing their best to recreate impediments by undoing lots of good work over the last couple of decades.

    I don't believe the social mobility problems are there that were present a couple of decades ago. I am arguing that time is needed for the cream to rise to the top and that time period is longer than a couple of decades.

    She was good at coalescing the gullible into believing in her :wink: so she could be leader material.

    I doubt she ticks the competent box, but that is because of her politics and refusal to respect democracy.

    I don't think Cake Stop is racist, I just think that unfortunately society (and BikeRadar as a microcosm of it) isn't ready to vote a black woman to power. I used the "in here" reference as "despite how divese we are because only cycling has brought us together", but I don't even know why I'm bothering to explain.

    You are going to have to talk me through this in simple easy to understand steps.

    BLM has set back its own cause how, exactly?

    Yes, it would be better if you did not bother us with your drivel because you trying to project your internal guilt complex onto others.

    I think we would vote a black woman into power. The problem is there is no-one of competence to test this out. However said women would have to have nothing to with BLM as they are seen rightly as toxic to the majority of the population because of the stupid views they hold.

    More I think about it the more it the more I think it won't change much but if it benefits anyone it benefits trump as the entire point of him is to undermine the process - either to reduce turnout or reduce credibility in event of loss.

    A friend said to me that Biden has Corbyn elements to him and he is so right with this comment.

    How he was the best candidate the Democrats could find is beyond me, but they did the same when they put Clinton up in 2016.

    In what way? He's a man? Has grey hair? This doesn't really convey much insight.

    Trump has elements of the Honeymonster in appearance.

    What are his Corbyn like qualities in your opinion? Not supporting the extreme right would be one I suppose, most would consider that a good thing though.

    Hahahahaha.

    You see Biden as a radical left winger? That says a lot about your position.

    Unless you just meant old, in which case, his experience and the voters familiarity with his competence in government and his life story is what means he's a decent candidate. Not the same with Corbyn, really.

    I'm sure there are some highly talented black females currently working their way up the system but as yet, none I know of.

    This is just where we are in the UK, not because we are racist, but black women are a relatively small group in the overall talent pool and only in the last couple of decades has this group started to enter the race to climb the greasy pole.

    I'm sure this will change when a competent black female comes along but I don't see one on the horizon.
