If he's protesting against the regime of Wakanda I doubt there would be much said , if he was burning it because the people of Wakanda were black then clearly he's protesting on grounds of race and should be dealt with the same way I'd expect anyone other race crime to be dealt with . Yeah i agree with that tone. For me its the intent of it. But i think people would call it racist whether know the intent or not Edited June 9, 2020 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troublingly large number of fash there to be honest, they seem to be getting bigger crowds these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bhutan and Barbados always stand out for me, along with Wales, obvs. Always feel a little bit sad for those countries that have settled on a combination of red, white and blue stripes. Not super imaginative. I’d stick them all together in the Olympic parade to see how many people could spot the difference between Russia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Thailand, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia... Being a complete saddo, I of course have favourite flags, and thoughts on what makes a good flag and so on. I definitely like Barbados, and Bhutan is good from a distance or at a small size, but maybe a bit fussy. I don't mind assymetry, but clean designs are best. Hong Kong and South Korea are two favourites that spring to mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's one round the corner from the house, which is Red, white and Blue, sort of like the czech flag, but with a star on the blue triangle bit. I have no idea what place it's from. It's quite nice though. When I find out what country it is I can go round and be all racist at them for being from somewhere with not as much virus and racisms as us. I need to know where it's from.

PaulC Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Do people think that the UK(BLMUK) are just about racial equality. Has anybody actually read their GoFundMe page. One of there aims is to abolish the police force. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
