It's a lowlife career criminal, not Mother Theresa! Jesus on a bicycle!

Exactly what tiggs and pasta said.
This is about long-term, ingrained racism, which has been brought to a head by a so-called cop, who was ignorant/ arrogant enough to kill someone he was supposed to be arresting.
However, I don't see the point in superficial gestures, like kneeling, silences etc... it's attitudes that need to change.

Enoch was right.

[weecalf]

Some contact details for some here, do some research on the Ministers you wish to ask questions of and get going.

// Retrocop, Winston Silcott's conviction for that murder was quashed.//
please dont let truth get into the way of a good post //

Yes he was wasn't he.His fingerprints were all over that atrocity (not literally unfortunately). Still .where was the oppression and injustice that they claim they suffer. He walked didn't he?
The police have not yet finished with him after his appeal .New scientific techniques perhaps. Lucky man. Three unrelated murder convictions with a knife and he walks. Draw your own conclusions.
This career thug is teflon coated and justice seems to have served him well. He'll wait.

I'm not sure "draw your own conclusions" makes any sense, if even the legal system isn't sure.

//this is now systematic bullying.//

This is now racial bullying, only black lives matter should be their little slogan.

[weecalf]

Thank you he’s engaged

[Theland]

The tail is wagging the dog.

[pixie374]

Theland, you asked what learning black history might have taught you... maybe less racism?

[retrocop]

Just like a Goebbels censorship regime. We are now being regulated by what we may wish to enjoy on the media. BBCiPlayer,Netflix and Britbox will not let you watch Little Britain or Come Fly with Me. They have been axed.

Racism Racism Racism, that’s all you hear every blooming day, night, weekend, and year. I’m sick to the back teeth of God dammed Racism. Play another record.

[AuntPollyGrey]

What interests me is that if being BAME hinders you and stops you getting on through Racism (allegedly) why are there so many BAME workers in the NHS?

[New Judge]

//Its about the manner in which he died and who was responsible for it - someone trusted to uphold the law.//

Quite so. But why does that warrant a minute's silence in the UK Parliament?

[douglas9401]

Perhaps, New Judge, they were testing if they were fit to govern.

[Old_Geezer]

Perhaps they can wrangle a re-sit.

[albaqwerty]

At least it was only a minute, Congress knelt for 8mins 46 seconds, that's 8.46 minutes the 'people' weren't represented.

[naomi24]

PP, //kneeling on someones neck until they die is wrong
but ho hum, the whole of AB has other ideas //

No they don't. I've not seen one person here say that the way that man died was right. Stop telling lies.

[tomus42]

It's well meaning ridiculousness. A bit like clapping nurses instead of just giving them a decent pay rise.

[THECORBYLOON]

APG, the fact a fair proportion of NHS staff are of a BAME background does not mean it's the same proportion in each of the various grades.

What proportion of those in the higher grades are from a BAME background, for example?
