So you are saying they should carry on being oppressed??

What statistics are you using by the way?
If by "oppressed" you mean denied the means of progressing in society, I would put it to you that, for the most part, blacks in the US are their own worst enemies. There are plenty of examples that show that colour isn't a bar to advancement in the US, but the majority prefer to stay in their ghettoes, live on welfare and worship gang culture. And, if it's true that Black Lives Matter, why are 53% of pregnancies in the black community terminated? They overwhelmingly vote for the historical party of slavery - the Democrats - and support Obama who has gone out of his way to inflame race divisions instead of finding ways to reduce them.

The statistics are easily found on line. Google is your friend.

Oh my, did you get them facts and figures straight off Donald Trump.

This is my favourite bit from your ukip words.

Think I will listen to the people who live in the states and see it with their own eyes rather than a bigot.
 
Why do you have to be black to take part in an anti racism protest?

No idea......Apparently the Group were protesting over 'racist climate crisis' claiming black people are more likely to suffer air pollution........personally I think I load of professional protesters are just using the latest protest trend.....

One black anti-racism campaigner criticised the protest, saying it should be led by those who feel 'aggrieved'.

‘It’s a Black Lives Matter movement – the clue should be in the name,' he said. 'As with any cause, it should be led by the people who feel aggrieved, with other people as allies. Otherwise it’s just odd.'

Being led, sure, I can understand that, it might feel pretty condescending having a white person speak up for the hate and suffering their race has caused to another. But I think it should be perfectly acceptable for white people to join in with these protests.

Agree about the "professional" protesters (they don't really get paid do they?), morals all over the show.

I think the BLM people would be better looking at what is really going on in the USA rather than just pointing at the police. The Stats I found for violent deaths in Chigago.......

....they paint a picture that is quite disturbing. I wonder how the authorities would be reacting if the Black and White figures were reversed and I can't help wondering why the BLM people aren't addressing these numbers instead of looking at the Police...........

I agree, but that chap atop the wigwam thing certainly didn't look like he was along for moral support. Kinda have to wonder how you get yourself so emotionally involved in what is effectively someone else's problem.
