Achieve nothing except to massage the solidarity ego of anyone supporting it. As a privileged white person surely it is me who is to be convinced to change my actions, its about the only thing I'm allowed to have a view on, but I won't be acting any differently because loads of people walked down a road. Then you have the fact it undermines any attempts to control the virus. I wouldn't be surprised if the Government organised them, that's how absurd the whole thing is. - gives the Government an excellent scapegoat when the inevitable second wave comes. - creates further division and blame by the general population including I suspect most white people who now can just say black people caused the second wave. - removes the need for the Government to get to the bottom of why the virus disproportionately kills BAME. Rather than it being about socio-economic factors or any link with deprivation or poverty, shit jobs, housing, anything which is the Government's job, they can now just say they marched which is why they all died. - economically better if we don't go spend money in Spain or Greece on holiday because they ban UK residents from travel. - yet more blame and division for the above. - big corporations can get behind it on a moral basis and its such a vague cause "black lives matter" that you don't need to then say "black lives are given shit jobs which disproportionately cause them to be customer facing and thus more vulnerable" or any other such specific complaint which isn't just a vague load of shit about nothing that points the finger nowhere. Probably more stuff which will come to me but in summary what a load of horseshit, does not help the cause one bit. I would argue harms it. [/quote] Post Options: Disable smileys? Turn BBCode off?
