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. [/quote] this, this and this a hundred times more. although I don't have the answers, I am not sure what the benefit of the protest is - this isn't against the UK Government, or a individual business or industry (take University fees or the cost of train travel, or global warming/Greta marches as examples of those) what is being protested is the problem the population has to deal with - it isn't a case of knocking the doors of CEOs/Prime Minsters to get them to change or enforce a new policy but on an individual level - everyone needs to change. now by "everyone" i don't necessarily mean all 66 million in the UK - but if you went to a pub (post-lockdown) guaranteed there will be one person in there within the week whole could be considered racist, however mild. that individual needs converting. then the next pub, they need visiting, and the group there need to change their mind. then once the pubs are done, go to the football stadiums, and do the same. (I am not trying to brandish football fans or pub drinkers as out and out racists - but hopefully you get what I am saying) imo the only real issue the Govt can do in reaction is to clamp down harder (be it fines, prison time or other) on racist acts however small. if you swap the words "racism" with "domestic abuse" or "sexism" i feel we're looking at the same problem [/quote] Post Options: Disable smileys?
