While the 'kneecap white people' Tweeter still works at Cambridge, and the Burnley fan who flew the WLM banner is banned to life this strikes me as a double standard which needs to be rectified if there is to be equality.

If you tell people there is an acceptable form of racism, there's only going to be a bigger backlash against it. Perhaps it's the other way round and systemic racism is seen as the accepted form, promting anti-while racism but I struggle to see why all are not equally punishable

Are you suggesting all racism matters?

That Elk is clearly black, those racists are burning it.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but the burning of a statue of an Elk represents what exactly, (besides stupidity), and helps how?

Just anarchists doing what they do.
Mindless zombieism.

I saw on the news earlier this week that the countryside is racist, so I assume that includes the animals that live in it?

Those rabbits might look cute but who knows what they get up to out there, in the wasteland past the M25. They could be holding Klan rituals and all sorts.

In the Arctic Circle, having white fur improves an animals chances of survival. A perfect example of white privilege in action.

More protestors getting hit while protesting on a highway in Seattle

1 seriously injured, 1 critical. Hopefully both pull through and hopefully they'll learn not to protest on roads in the future.

Appeared to be running onto the hard shoulder when the idiot drove into them.

I wonder if they would have been OK if they weren't stood on the highway.

4 police officers fired for a photo re-enacting the chokehold on Elija McLain

Report here says Washington State Patrol had closed the road 90 minutes earlier - https://edition.cnn.com/2020/07/04/us/seattle-prot...

And that the driver had driven the wrong way up a ramp to get onto the road. https://globalnews.ca/news/7138730/protesters-hit-...

So yep, Dawit Kelete did indeed play a silly game and is likely to have won a silly prize (criminal record).

[Noodle1982]

Word on the street is that the driver has been released.

Driver is also black.

You won't hear any more on this story.

My opinion of people who protest on a highway is unchanged.

[Pesty]

Hmmm killed by a black man running from the police.

So I guess they are ok with it now.
