The taxi thing is just a token gesture, there's no black person in the world that's upset by the term 'black taxi', no one cares about half the stuff that's being done because the problem here is the police and that issue is not being sorted.

The US police is rotten at a fundamental level and needs defunding because it's overfunded and corrupt. The UK police needs more vetting of it's officers because they are not innocent of systematic racism either but they don't need defunding since the Tory's have been doing that for ten years already.

These companies making these shallow gestures are only going to end up hurting the cause, nobody is asking for these things to happen, they’re doing it to try and save face and cash in off the back of the movement, all it does is falsely make protesters look whiney and perpetually offended, that’s what happens when businesses try to capitalise on things they don’t really care about.

the Burnley captain came out afterwards and said he was embarrassed and ashamed of the plane stunt, and asked what century these people were living in.

Same one as LT would be my guess, judging by this thread.
