Its not a "world issue" its an issue in the USA. It has zero bearings in the UK and as such was a totally bizarre topic and wholly unsuitable.

![]() If people don't like it they can not buy tickets to their live shows, and if enough people don't like it then tv shows can stop booking them. But if enough people do like them, the tv show will lose out on viewers. Similar to how some bookstores are daft enough to not stock JK Rowling books in case it sends someone into a spiral of despair ![]()

Because they had black youths being persecuted in the dance routine it was saying that black youths are peraecuted... May be true me be not? But they had a white cop performer.. so that's saying white cops are bad to the viewer.. And it's not exactly a topic for prime time saturday night viewing anyway is it? The manslaughter of someone... ![]() Last edited by Beso; 18-09-2020 at 06:44 PM. |

If you can't tell the difference between a real video of someone dying and a dance then there's really no helping you.

How do you know it was a racist attack? The cop was restraining a violent and struggling man who had (allegedly) recently necked a bunch of drugs, where is the evidence his skin colour had anything to do with it?

Show me proof the dance was worth complaining about.

I don't need to because I never claimed it was worth complaining about

I don't need to provide evidence to argue with your ignorance. The world's reaction to it shows it was racism as well as the fact that the cop was charged with MURDER?

I never said he wasn't a murderer. Do you think every murderer is a racist? People's reactions mean zip, as virtually any election will tell you. Where's the actual evidence the death was race related rather than circumstantial?

Oh, so you think that the fact that he was black was just a happy coincidence?

I think he was resisting arrest and fighting a cop, and had just overdosed on drugs, and had been saying he couldn't breathe before he was restrained. What part of that do you think is race related?

You’ve just admitted he was murdered...what do you think his killer was, just an overzealous vigilante?

Seeing as black people in America are 3x more likely to die at the hands of the police than white people, I think it is intrinsically a race issue when a black person is murdered by an officer

Spoiler: and what does that have to do with George Floyd? He only represents himself. His killer isn't all cops.

Of course more white people are killed, because there are more of them, a quarter of the annual police killings belonging to a 13% minority of the population means they’re killed at a higher, disproportionate rate

Because they're also over-represented in crime - who do you think is more likely to get arrested, people who do or do not commit crimes?

How? He was violently resisting arrested and had allegedly taken drugs, how does that make the cop a racist?
