    Cultural appropriation

    is the black community now trying to lay claim to the term thug (nothing to do with africans) or is it just bad/biased reporting by the BBC, quite happy to peddle any old nonsense which fuels this current situation

      If in doubt, play the BLM/slave card. Win-win.

        You get corn rows its Cultural appropriation.

        Some celeb tries to help kids the governments in Africa tulip on they are white saviours. Sorry Stacey Dooley is pretty genuine IMHO.

        You get named after a brutal cult that killed people and its Black oppression not social comment because so many young black kids die by knife.

        what can you do?

        Well to be fair to Stormzy you can throw a few million at it (Respect if it is well done) and the crowd love him.

        Poor old Gates foundation who are being shunned, yet they have made a massive change.
        Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

            You've got to look behind the scenes in America. Who benefits from these riots?
            Easy one - the media, mainly the leftist media and the democrats. Fox will just get pelters for saying anything vaguely anti-liberal at the moment.
            The leftist media is controlled by Ted Turner - the left are losing black voters to Donald Trump because The Donald is actually putting policies in place to improve equality rather than just claim he would, as per the shade that the orange one threw at Obama for failing to do so.

              This must be a sarcastic post but if not, could you quantify it?
              Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
