The point i am trying to make is that:
1. We, as individuals, have no power to change anything happening in countries across the world other than our own
2. Racism is already illegal in the UK so if it happens here, report it to the authorities. We can't hang the guilty parties, we cant flog them in the street. We have a mechanism to deal with it ... use it
3, There are thousands of good causes that people could get enraged at ... People are being manipulated into getting stressed out and angry over issues that there is either already a mechanism in place to resolve, or is in a place where no action can be taken.
America elected Trump as president, they all knew what he was like .... They chose him. If they want to change things, they need to vote for an alternative.
The same can be said for Brazil, the Philippines, Italy, Hungary, Poland .... it's the peoples choice, and it's in their own hands if they want to change it, not ours
