This thread moves faster than I can keep up with it, so be patient with me.
Stupid questions here.
1) What exactly does the UK have to do with Black Lives Matter?
2) How is Churchill a racist and why do they hate him so much?
3) Who is that in the Joe Rogan clip? I'd like to see more of that. Did he arrest more white people because he wanted to or to keep away the bad press?
Someone answered 3 better than I could, but on 2 and 3....
1) The UK has no reason to have a BLM protest right now, but now they have all that Corporation money - gotta do something with it right?
There was the Windrush scandal where a number of black people from the Caribbean who moved to UK in the 1960's got deported because the UK Gov lost the paper documents. Grenfell Tower was also full of immigrants and had a large black community. But there's not really been a police event since 2011 with racial issues. The last time BLM tried something in the UK - it was a piddly airport protest that everyone ignored in 2015, they jogged on after that.
2) Far as I can gather, Churchill's racism basically boils down to;
- When discussing the idea of Jewish migration to Palestine, he said he felt the Jewish had the right to claim their place there while also saying he felt the same about how US handled indians and Australia handled Aboriginies. Basically - it's not about who was there first, but who builds the more stable society.
-He saw places like China, India and Africa as backwards places that needed the guiding hand of a country like the UK
-During the Bengal famine of 1943 - Churchill opted to not send food aid and claimed that because Indian's "breed like rabbits" , the relief effort wouldn't be useful.
