sadly Bob doesn't even know what day it is. I don't listen to his rubbish I am discussing this with you.
I'm not arguing that mate but look at the point we are at now and that's after years of peaceful marches. They have had enough.
The thing I truly empathise with is that year upon year peaceful pretests have got us pretty much nowhere, the correct routes taken, and nothing. Colin Kaepernick's story is a prime example. When your peaceful voice is ignored it must feel as though you have exhausted all reasonable actions and therefore unreasonable action is left. So whilst I refuse to condone violence and destruction, I begrudgingly understand why some people have done some of the actions, but certainly not others. Again my hope is the fire that has been lit can be fanned in the correct manner to cause a peaceful uprising that will never stop.
You are not 'pulling' me on anything. My argument has been clear. Demonstrate peaceful or don't demonstrate. Don't attack police or deface national memorials. If the protests have these trouble makers then the protesters should inform the police. It's not rocket science.
this sort of thing doesn't help, MLK Jnr's actions were over 50 years ago and still we are absolutely miles off equality, so whilst MLK's actions are not to be underestimated, it hasn't gone anywhere near to solve the problems
We are where we are now because nothing has worked in the past. We have had the windrush scandal, a PM using derogatory language to describe black people. We have gone ****ing backwards, no wonder they are pissed.
And I hasten to add the antisemitism within the labour party, before anyone jumps down my throat. None of this is progress.
I'd agree with this, numerous public, including political figures have used language that has empowered racists to think it's ok to spout their vile ****e, Britain First, Nige and Tommeh being prime examples.
Mark Duggan, a black gangster, was shot by police in 2011 and this sparked riots across the country mostly, but not entirely, by black youths.
It's now within our own government and political parties. No wonder they have had enough. Floyd was just a catalyst. This ain't going away anytime soon.
