Current Affairs George Floyd and Minneapolis Unrest

Anyway lads, @Debunkology has solved the problem so we can close this thread. The US just needs to tell black communities that no problem exists and quote unrelated stats about black on black violence to them. It's so simple, this problem would go away overnight

He should take a stroll through Harlem to explain this.

Do you think context is important when it comes to racism? By context I mean things like historical context.

Whist racism may exist on some level In every country, do you think that the scale of the problem may be different for different countries?

Re 3, in the countries where there are significant levels of protest at the moment relating to racism (let’s just say the US and UK), do you think people of colour are subjected to racism on a much larger scale than white people?

In terms of your last point re ‘legally’. Could you give me some examples? I would like to understand what you deem to be appropriate forms of protest.

Keith Lemon has just apologised for his portrayal of Michael Jackson and Craig David on Bo Selecta.

Hopefully things will calm down now after this.

And he did a cry, I mean his characters were so ridiculous I'm not sure who found them offensive... I don't even remember anyone calling him out for them

I was considerably more offended by Keith Lemon existing than any of his characters.

Social media is a mess during all this.

People are being guilted into posting something (usually by white people) as there’s a thought process that not posting anything is somehow being complicit.

So, with that, we have more and more silly, rich white men posting insincere nonsense and filling a void that should be for people we actually need to hear from.

It’s cancel culture at its worst. White people will always find a way to start making it all about themselves in the end.

Legally isn't really an answer to 5.

Craig David pretty much said it ruined his career and it's one of the reasons he moved to the US.

He said he didn't even understand the attack which is probably not surprising it was a bit weird.

Don't try reason with him it's pointless. You might get accused off attacking him next.

He's made up his mind who he believes (right wing nuts) and who he doesn't

Zat being a right wing nut job is more disappointing to me than Moise Kean being rubbish.

My god, we've spent the last few days doing unconscious racism and now you want to get into the *really* controversial stuff?
