This might surprise you, but it's quite transparent your "I wonder if" is an assumption about what people would do. p.s. I explicitly invited you to share your views so I didn't have to assume. Weirdly you seem reluctant to do so. Edited June 22, 2020 by Sam-AVFC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 A plane has just flown over the Burnley game with a white lives matter banner The irony seems to be that BLM has brought out far more racism than I think most of us who accepted there is a problem even expected, its madness and its not lurking in the shadows, its somehow grown some brass balls in the last few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 These guys were targeted in Reading. Its not being reported possibly down to the family but I believe they were part of the LGBT community and it was a specific attack. Happy to be corrected but from the reports I have read this appears to me what happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to a black person that's travelled through eastern Europe, Asia or Australia and ask them about the UK's racism epidemic. We're not perfect, there's a lot to do, but there aren't many countries doing better than us from that perspective. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but you're deluded, an as Australian I realise unfortunately I come from a racist country. What I have seen and heard come out of the UK in the last few weeks specifically has shocked me. The UK is every bit as racist as Australia, sadly if not more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyblade Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I swear even American MAGA types don't seem as overt as the ones from the replies to that Conservative Party tweet. Just straight up objecting to seeing a black face in an advertisement, what is this, the 1950's? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chindie Posted June 22, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 (edited) There's a US tutor who does racism awareness seminars for white people. She started doing them in the UK, but had to stop as over here we simply didn't accept what was being taught and got bogged down in debates that Americans wouldn't view as anything but racist. Edit That kinda thing. Edited June 22, 2020 by Chindie 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The reactions in the immediate aftermath of the Brexit showed the under the surface racism and xenophobia that exists, and it hasn't got better since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
