Won't speak for CDX, but I read that comment more akin to getting bogged down in the specifics, rather than reunited around the original aim.
Its a forum mate, no need for any apology.@The Fear @Stephen Jay Hawkings @wittonite I can't walk back my comments because they were in fact very dumb!
I guess what I tried to say and I did it extremely poorly and inadvertently called a lot of you out which wasnt what I was attempting. I was trying to say I think you just create further division by going at them in a certain way. I've created a little division here now because I said X, Y and Z was dumb. My point was terribly crafted because Fear took it as I was saying you should say anything against BLM.
What I wanted to do was shed a light on better ways to "go at them". I have to eat humble pie because I didnt practice what I preach. I assumed you'd understand me which was entirely my fault. My attempt was to really take a step back, how are these people going to take it? Will you get anywhere by calling them out on something thats not relevant to the real issue at hand? Is this a nice and easy thing they can deflect?
Thats why I was trying to equate it to white privilege. Of course, if you tell someone they only got to the position they are in because they are white they're going to be defensive. They'll tell you how hard they worked and so on. Pointless, you've probably lost a potential ally because you went at them.
BLM I see a little like that too. If you go at the organization directly for its Marxists policies and anti-capitalistic stand I think you'll spin your wheels. The bigger issue for me with BLM is where the money goes. I think with race involved when you bring up something like marxism, I feel that is just a tool in their propaganda to aid and deflect away from the bigger crime. I think that is the embezzlement of donations. Didnt they get $100MM+ last year? What community has that helped?
So I apologize to Fear, SJH and Wittonite, and anyone else who thinks I called them dumb. Absolutely wasn't the intention. I was trying to go at the things I see on twitter and elsewhere but theres some overlap with comments here.

I think you’re all dumb, but it takes one to know one

Thats what I love about this place, always somebody waiting to mellow the mood after theres been a bit of a gaff or seriousness.
...because it's a income stream.Marcus Rashford got 70 racist tweets last night after losing the Uefa Cup final.
He is complaining about a maths teacher with an open profile abusing him.
Obviously, it's not right. Still, why is Marcus Rashford still on Twitter? Why is he reading DMs? Why is he doing his own social media?
The clubs made that stupid statement of the blackout weekend. I'm sure Rashford was in on that. He's obviously not happy with the service he's getting from Twitter. Why doesn't he delete it?
