Black lives matter protestors block roads in the uk

I bet you are the sort of person that should someone call you name something trivial, nothing major), you'd be the first to knock the guys head off.

Wow you REALLY don't know me.

Wait, why am I acting surprised? You really fucking don't so stop making bullshit assumptions based on nothing.

Is it really any different to someone from Africa asking an Slovakian if he is English because of his skin colour i.e. racial stereotyping, he is white so he must speak English. Get over it, we did a long time ago. Furthermore, just so you know, if only the blacks had been through half as much as the Jewish people did in Europe over the last 2,000 years, then they might learn something. The Jews could have hated the Europeans because of what they done, but know, they got on with their lives and made something of themselves, either in Israel or around the world. They don't blame other people. They don't need to play the victim card every time something goes wrong. No, they do like the Japanese, the Koreans or the Chinese, they learn and try to be better.

It's different because "Paki" is a slur racists use and the racists don't give a shit if the person is actually from Pakistan or not, they just see someone brown and call them a "Paki" and tell them to "go back to where they came from".

In a phrase, they have formulated an ill-defined outgroup.

This line of thinking is so fucking asinine. Other people had it bad too, so get over it? There is worse shit in the world, so shut the fuck up and sit down? You're not donating to GreenPeace or relief in Africa so you don't have any business advocating for yourself? Racism isn't over.

Do yourself a favor, resolve your ignorance about civil disobedience and nonviolent protest. Read John Lewis' prescription for how to affect popular movements. Getting in the way is exacty the way to do it. Standing in the road and pissing people off works very well. The fact that you're having this reaction is proof of concept. This is exactly what people did in the 60's to try and end segregation and Jim Crow. The stood in the road. They screwed up the mass transit system with a boycott and caused thousands to be affected. They marched in the streets hand in hand while the nation heaped hatred upon these people looking for the status quo to change. It would be hilarious how much this mirrors the past, except it isn't.
