Sorry but I fail to see where the inconnsistencies and anomalies are. Even if it was a case of right or wrong to protest when the corona virus ius about doesn't make them lack credibility. Their actions were motivated by emotion. The main one that comes to mind is outrage. Care and concern are others.
No hyprocracy that I can see.
There are several glaring anomalies and inconsistencies. You make a number of well thought out and considered points, so I suspect you cant see the anomalies because you don't want to see them.
One glaring anomaly is that it is recognised by just about everyone that indigenous Australians have much worse health outcomes than non indigenous Australians.
Aboriginal community leaders have rightly been at pains to restrict movement of non community members into Aboriginal settlements due to concerns that if the Corona virus is brought into settlements it will be devastating due to the high incidence of chronic illness, lack of understanding of social distancing and poor access and use of established medical facilities.
By encouraging indigenous Australians to head to the state capitals and stand shoulder to shoulder with thousands of other indigenous and non indigenous people during a global pandemic when only ten people have been allowed at funerals is not only stupid in the extreme, but down right dangerous. The chances of a protester picking up the virus and infecting remote communities becomes a highly predictable outcome.
The Black Lives Matter rallies are directly endangering " black " communities.
Another anomaly that seems to have slipped your notice is that the slogan " black lives matter " and the rejection of the slogan " all lives matter " is very obviously racist.To suggest that some-ones life only matters if a person has a certain skin colour or racial origin is discriminatory and separatist. The Black lives Matter rallies are fighting racism with racism.True equality can only come when everyone regardless of age, sex, race or skin colour are treated equally. To truly encourage non discrimination, the Black Lives Matter proponents should be espousing the rights of everyone to be treated equally, not pushing seperatism and racial isolation.
I understand that " Black " people are currently over-represented in police harassment and deaths in custody, but so are a number of other minority groups such as those with mental illness, the homeless and the poor. Its not just a " black " problem, its a problem of persecution of all minorities by police forces globally.
And for the record, I have been one of the very few contributors to these forums who has been expressing concern about the issue of predudicial and dangerous police procedure consistently for many years. Most here have just jumped onto the bandwagon in the last few weeks since it became the pet project of the PC crowd. No doubt in a month or two you will all move onto the next, latest fashionable thing............. So from one of the old proponents on the subject............ Welcome aboard newbies !
Look. The Black Lives Matter is a real issue. I get that.
Thing is, we have an inherited problem here that was introduced by colonisation politics of preivous world powers, back in the day.
In todays world we recognise it and are shamed for it
Ok, Black/White relations are coming to a head. Why wouldn't they?
Still...moving forwad.(and I hate that term) we need to negotiate a balance between our black and white lives. We need to have respect for our white traditions as well as acknowledgeemnt for the suffering black ppl had to go through to uphold it.
