205 search results for "black lives matter"

Update: Google has restored the image and issued a statement. Google has removed the photograph of Winston Churchill from appearing in search results after ‘Black Lives Matter’ rioters branded the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom a “racist.” Search results for “British Prime Ministers” return photos of all Prime Ministers from Andrew Bonar Law in 1922 to Boris Johnson in 2019. Noticeably absent from the list is the photograph of Churchill (1951-1955), who is credited as Britain’s greatest prime minister following the defeat of Nazi Germany during World War II. Ironically, the tech giant has chosen not to give…

MANY are saying the events of the past fortnight – with marches against racism being held around the world – constitute a historic moment. I disagree. I don’t think much has actually happened. Scratch beneath the sound and fury of the protests and what have you got? A proposal to defund the police? An idea so irresponsible it could only be imagined by people whom police had kept safe long enough to become so incredibly stupid. So what are we left with? My social media feed is filled with posts from friends, who have always believed racism is wrong, affirming…

Rowan Dean of Sky News has slammed state authorities after Black Lives Matter protests went ahead in cities across Australia over the weekend in defiance of coronavirus social distancing rules. “Either there is a pandemic or there isn’t,” Dean said. “Either our governments had the right to lock us down or they didn’t. Yesterday the premiers made a mockery of this nation and the loyalty of its people. Of you and of me… “If the pandemic is real then our most vulnerable Indigenous Australians now have a potential death sentence hanging over them. So much for ‘Black Lives Matter.’ Clearly…

IF Black Lives Matter protests go ahead across Australia this weekend, Christian churches must advise authorities, en masse, that they will resume worship services the following weekend. If State Premiers allow thousands of people to march through city streets & gather shoulder-by-shoulder in city squares, there is no good reason places of worship should not reopen. This would have been ill-advised just a week ago, but the national mood has now changed. A week ago, if churches had said they would be opening regardless of lockdown laws, they would have been condemned by the media as irresponsible. But the media,…

The solidarity of suffering is a field of mutuality that lies unexplored. It’s all to easily drowned out by the noise and antipathy of protest. The online activity of the masses, from anonymous activist to celebrity conformist, misses the opportunity to untie the tangled pathos that cements individuals into collectives, and brands them as possessions of “party-lines.” Not all human suffering is equal, but all human suffering is equally painful. To exist as if another person has no idea about what suffering is, is to dismiss suffering. Take for example, a family with a history filled with conflict and abuse.…

Last month Muslim activist Linda Sarsour gave a speech in Sacramento in which she urged Muslims to become political because “Muhammad was a human rights activist,” and Trump a fascist. The self-described “Islamophobe’s worst nightmare” went on to claim that Islam has always been an “anti-racist, feminist, and empowering religion,” and that our modern understanding of human rights are unnecessary because Islam already teaches these things. Sarsour explained: “I go to a lot of mosques or community centers and this is what they say to me. They say: ‘Sister Linda, we know that you’re very political, but in my mosque,…

“…the interest that extremists have in infiltrating the Catholic Church is not so difficult to explain. No revolutionary undertaking can be successful in a deeply religious society like Brazil without the support of the powerful Catholic clergy.”

“Control the food supply and you control the people but control the money supply and you control the whole world. Of course, controlling the money supply also directly affects the food supply. We may very soon experience a reality of apocalyptic proportions.”

“If ‘Trans Lives Matter,’ and they do, then is it fair for politicians, media heads, and activists to misdiagnose the problem of self-harm and suicide by continually pinning it on their Bible-believing grandmother and her local church? Is it not rather exploitative to accuse Christians of ‘murdering trans kids’ in an effort to pass legislation that would pressure believers to abandon their convictions?”

“There are no such things as government subsidies. Governments do not pay for a single thing. The taxpayer does. So when a student can write off his education loan, the government is not subsidising it – the taxpayer is being stuck with the bill.”

“Justice Thomas addresses the question of other Supreme Court decisions which used the Due Process Clause to federally legislate on other issues, in particular, federal rulings regarding contraception and gay marriage. Any previous decision, such as these, and which functions now as a precedent for a ‘substantive due process’ decision, should be reconsidered.”
