#BLACKLIVESMATTER

[bol-uk]

Whilst I hugely support this cause in America, I find the British equivalent a bit flat.

The protest today was at London City Airport and the campaign said it carried out the protest to "highlight the environmental impact of air travel on the lives of black people locally and globally".

The group issued a video that said the reason for the protest was that the climate crisis was a “racist crisis”.

Is it just me who finds this a crap attempt to link onto a genuine issue?

They also targetted the tazer death of Dalian Atkinson last month.

gang of divs , making an important cause look stupid, seem to be aghast at everything and throw the race card in to suit.

It's bizarre, almost as bizarre as white conservative Americans reaction to that QB not standing for the national anthem

The UK version is horrendous band wagon jumping and those responsible should be ashamed.

Important cause. Rubbish protest.

It's more worrying that they could just waltz onto an airport runway in the capital city unnoticed, to be fair.

Rubbish protest. Absolutely redundant and pointless in the UK.

Surprised they haven't used that as part of their protests. 'Look! Black people are so insignificant, so overlooked, that we can get onto a major airport runway and no-one even noticed us!'

I'm sensing a big chip on some white shoulders here.
