George Floyd murder | Clashes between US police and protestors

[dronefromsector7G]

It's an ingrained racism that pervades all of Western culture. I'm a liberal white man and I absolutely abhor racism but it's ingrained in our culture, the US thing is the focus point that should make us all take a long hard look at ourselves. Our daily interactions with people of a different colour, our preconceptions, the way we promote stereotypes. We're not innocent in this, everyone needs to fight this fight and also accept occasions when we've been wrong

I don't mean this to start a fight or get at anyone, just want to point out it's all our fight to make this better than it is

Have you ever been to the Far East? Thailand? Racism is an issue all over the globe.

Yes, but one can only deal with their own issues before moving anywhere else.

No it isn't, no crowds at football this was irresponsible at the very least.

Of course it is, why would such things be permitted if not for everything being hunky dory?

Is this the closest to Civil War America has been since the actual Civil War ?

Who with? Antifa? Blacks in America are waking up to the fact they're getting used for votes so who? American pickers have probably found more guns in one shed than what the US military own.

I 100% agree. But what I mean is we can sort our own house out.

just wondered if it actually was.
40 mill unemployed, 100k dead from Virus, spiralling race riots and a madman president

A mere flesh wound. I remember being in England during the big riots in the early 80's, I remember the LA riots in the early 90's , the London riots in 2011, people have to let off steam but at the end of the day have to go back to work. Hopefully something positive will come out of all this but not end of days stuff

Aren’t we all humans? Isn’t that the point? ‘Westerners/Asians/whites/blacks’. We all bleed the same.

Just curious. Was your upbringing diverse? Mine was and I honestly don’t even notice skin colour, race, etc.
