their showing support which is cool, my only issue is they (usa black folk) don't rate/back us which is dumb imo when we're suppose to be united in these times of deadly oppression by the same system

as for TT, man just sounds bitter, airing out irrelevant thoughts he feels deeply about kmt

What was achieved?

 

imagine how shit it must feel to be a black man in america seeing how much your life means to some of these police and even these american people

must be depressing

then seeing you have brothers overseas that feel your pain and are uniting to protest on your behalf

it shows them they are not alone and there are people out there that care

so even if that is all it achieves you cant be mad at that

their showing support which is cool but pointless coz its not the proper way, my only issue is they (usa black folk) don't rate/back us which is dumb imo when we're suppose to be united in these times of deadly oppression by the same system

Never seen any marches or any viral stuff like this when stuff happens in Africa. Its all for social media. Most black people in the uk probs have more fam in Africa than America but they don't give a f.lol But soon as something happens in America..

i hear u eric bro, it's not a pride ting for me

i'm of the mind set that if it's not one of 2 actions, it's pointless coz it's been done generation after generation and ain't shit changed, in fact we are a lot worse off but the illusion seems different

1. loss of finance or 2. loss of life

that's all they respect and change for

all non whites should be rolling like that right now

very good point bro, pisses me off

the us ppl are the same

both sides of the pond don't ride for africa at all

imagine when the paris ting kicked off the uk/us blacks (and most of europe) were backing france but in the same week, over 100 ppl died in kenya due to a bomb, nothing

I dunno what people always base that on (saying there's no marches regarding issues in Africa etc). I couldn't say they're no marches or rallies purely for the fact I haven't looked into it, not because I haven't heard anything publicly discussed in mainstream media. Obviously things that happen in Europe and America are more widley publised in the UK which provokes a wider reaction from the public.

"My people" is all I'm seeing people say "our people". One of, if not the most divisive race wants to talk about solidarity when it's popular. Every other time, 7 days out the week screaming "fuck the other side" and after seeing the snaps/Instagram photos I can see the motivation for many was just to be seen. Complete vanity exercise for a lot of them. Not even going to get started on the songs I'm hearing some of these trash rappers put out. If you're going to stand up, stand up properly.
