Foxy,

Why are you so obsessed with guns?

We can see that an American death has sparked
global protest around the world.

The "Black Lives Matter" movement has brought people
on the streets in Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Abuja,
Nairobi, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Paris, London, Sydney,
Melbourne, to name just a few.

Parallels of racism are being drawn with that in the
US in other countries. Of systemic oppression, including
South Africa. It appears that people are recognising the
commonality of black struggles everywhere and more
broadly the fight for human rights.

An article in - "The Guardian" pointed out that the words:
"I can't breathe" are chillingly familiar to many.

In Australia, they evoke the death of David Dungay, an
Indigenous man who uttered those words 12 times as he was
restrained by prison guards. In the UK they were cried out
by Jimmy Mubenga as security guards pinned the deportee to
his plane seat.

"The Guardian" article sums things up rather well when it
points out that:

"To say that Black Lives Matter is not only to demand that
they're not stolen, but to insist they they are truly valued".

"No one expects this to be realised overnight. However the
breadth of the protests not only is a testament to what has
goine wrong, but also a promise that change is possible."

"The protests although black-led are multi-racial, showing
the growing breadth of support. Progress can and must be
made".

If this does not happen, I suspect that then in future much
more than statues and memorials could be destroyed.

might start to believe the chants of black lives matters when the numerous degenerate protestors acknowledge that unborn babies matter or that white farmers matter in South Africa or that Police lives matter. No instead the Marxist and totally dumbed down and lying liberal media will continue to sow seeds of discord and be cheered on by those who have benefited most by hard working people.

no doubt Columbus was responsible for the man who randomly pushed a 92 year old woman to the ground. He only had 103 prior arrests including sexual assault. Oh well thats what our rational marxist professors teach the dumbed down generation.

runner,

You're referring to "numerous degenerate protesters?"

Again, you have to be more specific. Not sure who
you mean.

The protesters although black-led are multi-racial
and the protests are happening world-wide. They're
not only fighting for black struggles everywhere
but more broadly they're fighting for human rights.
Surely you can't consider that as being "degenerate",
because it includes everyone.

Again, your references to "Marxist" "Lying Liberal Media?"
And to those who are sowing "seeds of discord" and
"cheering on those who have benefited most by hard-working
people?" You have to be more specific and give us some
evidence as to who you mean.

By the sound of things it would help
if you were able to lay off the stereotyping, rigid terms.
Negative feelings - antipathy, even fear - that's rooted
in your generalisations.

You ignore the differences in individuals and tend to lump
anyone you don't agree with or approve of in the one boat.

That's a bad reflection on you.

runner,

Your link doesn't work. next time leave out the
"s" from the http.

There's no excuse for bad behaviour. That's
why if you can see that pushing a 92 year old woman
is wrong you should be able to understand what people
are feeling about systemic oppression and be able to
express solidarity and outrage that one of the
richest and most powerful countries in the world like
the United States should continue to treat its
people this way.

You should be able to understand that the demonstrators
oppose the racial legacy it embodies, and the brutal
militarized police response to the protests.
