Apparently Agent Orange spent the night in a bunker. I just hope his bone spurs didn’t flare up.

This is why we need to be taken off this planet. We're absolute cunts collectively. I tend to judge most human beings by how they handle their trash. Bins have been made supremely accessible these days, and if they aren't arsed to walk a minute or 2 to dispose their garbage then they can't be trusted with anything. Yes mate, completely agree. Also include how people talk to waiters at restaurants etc.

I think the BLM protests are one of the most difficult moral issues I've considered.
On the one hand, the kind of unifying moment that can bring around significant change that seems to come along in once a generation at best. If we sit on it for six months the opportunity to make things better for the BME community may well slip away. I fully support the protests and it's clear change needs to happen IMO.
On the other hand, this is the worst time in a century for protests. People will die as a direct result of them. Do we have the right to deliberately take actions that we know will likely cause a second spike? To know that it will condemn others? On top of that, if protests (along with also twats on the beach etc.) lead to a second spike, that will undermine their cause with many I think.
There's a positive possibility that there isn't a spike, and this in turn proves the virus is extremely unlikely to spread outdoors, hastening the end of some forms of lockdown. But I expect it's unlikely.
Interested in the thoughts of everyone, especially the BME members here. Maybe I'm way off base - finding it all difficult to get my head around, which is rare for me.

Similar tbh. Any decent person would encourage people protesting against racism under normal circumstances but these aren’t normal circumstances and I think it’s getting irresponsible now. Especially when you consider the BAME community have been disproportionately affected by the virus. Anybody who has criticised the governments handling of the virus (like me) has to acknowledge the inevitable further spreading of the virus this will almost certainly cause. The violent scenes are also not a great look and will do damage the cause. Whether they’re a minority or not.

People have just forgotten about Covid-19 last week and we are probably in for more this week. The same people telling everyone to stay indoors are now heading up BLM demonstrations. It's hypocrisy of the highest order. On this whole issues of the protests, there's nothing more neausating than white people talking about there white priviledge and defacing war memorials because they have no common decency. I honestly read a conversation from someone I know yesterday who was talking about not using the words "whitelist" and "blacklist" and about how they should find alternatives. You just have to trawl through Twitter to see what I'm on about. None of that rubbish actually helps Black communities, do black people want to hear shit like that? If BLM really cared about Black Lives why aren't they out protesting on the doorsteps of drug dealers destroying there communities. Don't get me wrong, policing has a definite issue in the US, on average there poorly trained and there lack of stringent selection criteria assists racists and morons who like guns getting into the police. The average police officer in Europe trains for 3 years, whereas for the US it's 19 weeks. The man who killed George Floyd will surely go down but I don't understand why people are protesting in London and defacing public property. Racism does exists in the UK like it does everywhere but SWOT teams are not breaking into houses and shooting people by accident while they sleep.

If you think racism means only police brutality and that is the only reason people are protesting, then you really don't get it.

How do you solve that problem? I don't know, but you start by making people realise that this is an issue that black people are dealing with on a daily basis. We, the white people are the ones having a problem and that should be looking at ways of solving it. And you can start by not saying that black people should deal with the drug dealers in their area on their own. Because they are not telling us to deal with the white corrupt, racist, warmongers of politicians, corporate CEOs or greedy corrupt bankers that ruin the world.
