I am utterly shocked at the responses I have been seeing to these protests. But I think I'm especially shocked that there are women trying to deny the benefits of protesting when that is EXACTLY what granted us electoral equality in 1928.

The fight for equality has to start somewhere. Black people have been ignored for centuries - of course they are going to ****ing rebel. That's just human nature.

Educate yourselves.

Don’t be condescending by telling people to educate themselves.

Lots try and use the fact that woman’s rights and gays rights as an example of how change will come by getting yourself out in the public eye.

Racism is a far deeper divide but change will come if the people that we vote into power have no choice but to make laws that protect ethnic minority’s because the overwhelming voice from the people is we want the law changed.

As soon as protesters show violence and start attacking businesses and the police all the momentum is lost and we are back to square one.

All good people don’t want violence and vandalism on the streets so that the empathy they felt for the cause is replaced by anger.

It’s people in suits that use pens that change life’s not those in hoodies carrying improvised weapons.
