I've watched a couple of his interviews and the reason he is so emotional is because he is from a majority minority state and has been fighting the cause for years

The world is built on racism it's time to stop

Slavery has been a thing since like 3000 BC...

And that includes black-on-black and islamic-on-black slavery.

Obviously none of that makes it any better, but to pretend that whites invented slavery is just churlish.

"We" ?

Let's not with the collective guilt. We don't need to be sorry for past wrongs, just like the muslims down the road don't need to be sorry for present wrongs.

You dont have to take blame but you can be utterly ashamed and disgusted

Why let such thoughts in? Absolutely no peoples are entirely innocent, human history is full of disgusting things. So either everyone can feel bad for things they haven't done, or people can just live their best life and not worry about long dead people.

Because we have not corrected our mistakes, racism especially towards black people is still a major problem in the UK

The thing that makes me sad about all of these stories is that it just clearly shows how over all these years, there’s been zero progression in trying to tackle racism and police brutality. I’ve just seen a video of the Rodney King beating that sparked the 1992 LA Riots. How is it that we’ve gone 28 years and still nothing has changed.

Mitchell 01-06-2020 09:29 PM

I’ll truly never understand how anybody could honestly think they’re better than someone else because of the colour of their skin, there’s genuinely no excuse for ever being prejudice against someone who is black for being black.

Denver 01-06-2020 09:31 PM



This is the president's son everyone!!! Best friends with a known racist

It's still not "our" mistakes though. All you can do is not be racist yourself, and call it out when you see it.

Have you never worked in an office?. Plenty folks think they are better just because they have been there longer. Humans care very tribal.

Denver 01-06-2020 09:58 PM

Are you really comparing people length of working in a job to skin colour?

Police turned off their body cams before shooting David McAtee, he always gave free food to cops and they repay him by murdering him

Gotta love the USA

Or one could say the original autopsy was about about self preservation of the police force....

Yes, and I’ve never experienced anything like racism in an office, because at the end of the day someone being black or white is completely different to longevity in a company...

What's even the point of body cams if they can just switch them off?

Denver 01-06-2020 10:52 PM

So Trump briefly mentioned George Floyd but failed to talked about why they are protesting at all, he is deploying thousands of heavily armed military and lengthy sentences to those involved which is illegal

Denver 01-06-2020 10:53 PM

They attacked peaceful protestors in order to make Trump look strong over his speech

Denver 01-06-2020 10:55 PM

He went on about protecting the rights of peaceful protesters while the police were tear gassing them and pushing them

Amy Jade 01-06-2020 10:58 PM

The man is an imbacile, I think anyone truly following the protests will know that peaceful protests are being invaded by police who mace and fire rubber bullets into the crowds.

There is a video I posted not long ago of a black woman on her knees with her hands up posing no threat and a cop attacks her and only walks away when another cop speaks out.

Donald Trump is a liar and a disgrace.

Denver 01-06-2020 10:59 PM

Surely that speech is another for governments to get him out after threating civil war and threating to kill innocent people

Denver 01-06-2020 11:00 PM

This is going to end bad, America is about to enter into a major civil war
