Anti-racism protests

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

Maybe if you were a black person who has endured racism throughout your life then you would feel differently.

Interesting take on things :

If I was black I’d probably consider the fact that I’m more likely to die if I contract Covid than other races and definitely not go out in a crowd during the pandemic!

I’d also like to say how sad it is that I’ve seen many people associated with our club wanting to go out on Saturday in Cleethorpes to ‘protect the war memorials’/counter protest our own BLM protest.  (Before the little angry bald men jump on this comment - the war memorials should be left well alone but the ‘football lads’ are going to these protests under the guise of defending them)

I would as well. But I’ve got more sympathy with people taking that risk to protest against racism than I have people packing out beaches just for a day out.

All I can say is that is not the view of most of the black footballers or Black musicians on my social media feeds.

Maybe but I found it very moving and it made a lot of sense.

In the main it's just the usual extreme left wing rent-a-mob.

Please may I ask a serious question to those in support of the local march:

The point has been made on FB that the horrific killing of Lee Rigby did not draw the type of protest that we are seeing now.  On the basis that we have seen two senseless and horrific killings, why are we drawing such a distinction between them?  

For the record I am shocked and angry at the US murder but couldn't think of an answer to the above question.

Lee Rigby was killed by terrorists, who were immediately arrested and imprisoned for life. He wasn’t killed by institutionalised racism in a government agency. There was nothing to “protest”, who were people supposed to be protesting against? There was also, rightly so, weeks of mourning and media coverage and national shock and upset. Lee Rigby’s family have requested that his name isn’t used to undermine the black lives matter movement.

The internet equivalent of News of the World

It’s funny how those looking to disminish, downplay or make comparisons to other irrelevant situations seem to be the same flag bearers for brexit with their Union Jack waving nationalism. Why can’t you simply admit that black people have got a legitimate case to protest and say enough is enough? I’ll tell you why it’s because the way you think is exactly what black people are protesting against - widespread racism.
