Current Affairs George Floyd and Minneapolis Unrest

[Moomin]

So personally white people celebrating the end of the horrible stain on history is patronising to me.

Much like if they started shooting black people for a year and when they ended , talked about celebrating the end of the shootings.

More to the point , every white person with money is guilty of the slave trade. The poor no , but the rich yes

Did you pretend to be black when you wrote this?

Ok, so black people believe they were the only slaves ever and the only people's to suffer and that only white people are racist? So white people who have nothing to do with slave trading and have suffered oppression for hundreds/thousands of years are being made to feel guilty about American, English, Belgian, Portuguese, Spanish, African, Arabian etc slave traders?

Ok, good luck with that. No wonder people are laughing when certain idiot's and racists are trying to rewrite history. Dopes!

Carlo Ancelotti, everybody!

What a man!

“Right now there is a very big, very serious problem in America. And the police are part of that problem, that’s the thing. If I have a problem with anything, the first thing I do is go to the police: the police have to be a protector, and that hasn’t happened. The police have made the problem even greater and it can only be resolved if we all realise this is very serious. It’s not just one policeman who has lost his head, it’s much bigger. It’s more systematic, it’s not the first time and it has to end. In 1862 Abraham Lincoln declared everyone the same: blacks, whites, there is no slavery – 1862. Over 150 years ago and we’re in this situation, that can’t be possible.”

This is really weird

I mentioned Presley in the Biden thread.
Here she is (with AG Healey, another rising star) sticking it to Barr!

For some context, Barr met with the head of the BPD and had a photo op but apparently the Mayor didn't even know he was coming.

AG Barr are the Iron Bru folks, aye?

I see that there are rumours that the NYPD will take a collective sickie on 4th July. Apparently they are a bit fed up being assaulted on the streets, abused within the media and stitched up by all the Politicians. Tbh you couldn’t blame them......

Pete, if you're going to discover the concept of solidarity this is a really odd time

When America was founded it was founded on this f’d up slavery evil BS and unfortunately the echoes of that have and will last. If you’re not a racist and white and feel you don’t deserve to have to deal with this. Well you have to. It’s as simple as that you can’t ignore it. Especially when racism still thrives to this day. Although I disagree I do understand why people feel angry that’s it’s not their fault so why doesn’t all lives matter etc etc. But I think everyone has a responsibility to actively fight racism against blacks in America. It’s a burden you gotta take for the evil of the past. Regardless of it’s nothing to do with you or any of your blood ancestors.

Don’t waste energy feeling like a victim and fight the problem so your children can live in a world where they don’t have to wonder ‘but why don’t they say all lives matter’.

That has nothing to do with the context of modern american history.

That sound of laughter you hear might be going in a different direction to the one you think it is

As soon as I saw, 'ok, so' I knew we were in for a treat.
