Isn't there a hint of racism by him there?

All lives matter. If one counts, all count.

I'm not sure if this has been posted already but I'm surprised that I'm only seeing this for the first time.

I think it's only fair to warn that the video is graphic and shows his head wound clearly.



A 16 year boy was shot by police with a "less than lethal" round in Austin, Texas. He had to have emergency surgery after the round almost scalped him, smashed his skull and has now apparently left him with permanent brain damage.

He wasn't protesting, he was at work when he simply decided to check out what was happening and was observing at a distance.

I believe Austin police have refused to identify which officer fired the round.

They also confirmed a 20 year old male had also been shot in the head and was in critical condition.

Why is it a good thing? Do you think we have an institutionally racist society? I do not. This is blown out of all proportion. Poor people brought up in shitty environments do not have as good life chances as rich people. WTF has race got to do with it?

On 24 February 1999, the report of the Stephen Lawrence inquiry was published, following an apology the previous year by the Metropolitan Police for failures in the response to (and investigation of) Stephen's murder in 1993. Sir William Macpherson, who chaired the inquiry, made 70 recommendations for the Government, police service and other stakeholders, and accused the Metropolitan Police Service of institutional racism.

There is plenty of racism in this country,the mail and Sun newspapers wave,to name but two

Raz says it is a real problem

Plenty of racism in footbal!

The Manchester City star, who has been the victim of racist abuse on several occasions throughout his career, defended the demonstrations in the UK by protesters amid ongoing protests in response to the death of American George Floyd

Sterling, 25, when speaking to BBC Newsnight presenter Emily Maitlis, spoke at great length about racism in football and in UK society in general - highlighting the lack of representation of black people in senior positions in football.
"It's [the protests] a great starting point, to start protesting and get your voice heard," he said

Under its current guise, ANTIFA is nothing but a nail for the right to hang their hatred and bigotry on.

Of course the right don’t like them, the entire purpose of them is to attack the right and fight them.

I’d argue that bigotry is an opposition to any right wing views being made, by violence if necessary.

Anyway, do we have to keep talking about them? I’ve had enough.

And what is that oppression exactly? How does that manifest itself in 2020 Britain? The "Whites Only" schools? The jobs for which black people cannot apply? The universities which don't accept people of colour? There are no black or Asian doctors?

I am not saying there are no cases of racism whatsoever, but what I am saying is this is HUGELY overplayed by a group who are pissed off about people poor whilst other people are rich. And they have one huge fucking great big chip on their shoulder about it.

EDIT: Just seen your post above. Yes, it's hugely overplayed. Anyone would think we lived in 1970's South Africa. We do not.

IMO that is one of the worst things you can say

The one thing Raz said I really didn’t like was “racism is the only disease”.

Is there context to that?

If not I better phone my mate and tell him to stop mourning his grandad who died from Covid-19.

Happened to a friend of mine today.
He's a skinhead but the least racist person you'll ever meet, he's a skinhead because of the music he likes & not an NF thing.
Weird thing for FB to do.
Bushell is a **** mind
