Black lives matter protestors block roads in the uk

Again, that is ridiculous!! You must be the only person who can actually cannot tell the difference. For a majority, in fact a very large majority of Pakistani men in the United Kingdom wear their own clothes including headgear. Secondly, those who are capable of growing a beard at puberty are not allowed to shave. The women wear traditional clothing too and wear trousers to stop showing their ankles. Same with a Sikh, who wear traditional turbans, and have a bracelet on their wrist, or married women with their bindis to show the other men that she is not available. 

Your ignorance is showing, comparing a traditional Pakistani to someone who is hispanic. I'm guessing you are an American.

Dude, he's English.

Where does he live, Eden, or why not Torridge? Let us face it, only little old grannies would mistake the origins.

So we're insulting elderly women now?

It's just that if you ask a lot of white people here in America if there is racism against blacks, they'll say pretty much the same thing.

"There's a little bit, but it's not as bad as ___"

It's much worse than that where I live.  I've heard on several occasions white people say, "Racism doesn't exist anymore except for when people talk about it."

I get the joys of the ones who think bigotry is only ever against white men.

And here is me thinking that the only thing that matters on this earth is the BLM, when all forms of "ism", are equally as bad. You do surprise me and I am very happy that you showed me that I am an "ageist."

Negative attention is attention I suppose. Though, frankly, I'm not quite sure what the fuss is about over there. Seems to me our overseas companions don't exactly have the larger problems we do here.

This was pulled on a major highway in my area, sometime in the last two years. It didn't do them any favors outside of causing irritation and some publicity. Given the further militarization of the police -in my area at least- I'd say it's more counterproductive than anything.

Just to clarify: the last bit there is more of a comment on the majority of their methods thus far. Not this one in particular.

So, if you are a black cop or white cop, you will get away with murdering anyone who was considered innocent. However, if you happen to be a Chinese cop, all hell breaks loose to show BLM that they are doing their job correctly by scapegoating Asians.

If they had sat in a field causing no disruption to anyone, we would not be typing about it, the whole point of a protest is to bring peoples attention to the issue, nothing would get done about anything if we protested in our back gardens.

You are not getting the point Expired. No problem with their support due to racist black, white and Hispanic police personnel who love to shoot black, white or Latino citizens. However, trying to disrupt traffic on what is essentially a very busy day for most people who want to take a break and get a well-earned rest, is nothing short of stupid and selfish.

At the end of the day, they may think black lives matter, but how many of those very same people donate to those people in Africa who are starving? They don't give two shits as long as they have their smart clothes, top smartphones, top computers and a nice home to go to, whilst their countrymen are trying to survive on what can be considered very little because of people like Robert Mugabe. Do we see the BLM hashtag when we see people like these destroying peoples lives:

Paul Kagame
Zine El Abidine Ben Ali
Gnassingbé Eyadéma
Hastings Kamuzu Banda
Gaafar Nimeiri
Siad Barre
Charles Taylor
Yahya Jammeh
Idriss Deby
Obiang Mbasogo
Paul Biya
Jose Eduardo Dos Santos
Robert Mugabe
Francisco Macias Nguema
Hissene Habre
Omar Al-Bashir
Sekou Toure
General Sani Abacha
Muammar Gaddafi
Idi Amin Dada

So, someone gets killed by a rogue cop, everyone is up in arms, hundreds of thousands have been raped, killed and tortured by the aforementioned dictators and the world remains silent, especially the BLM.

Erm, just making the point that disruption to peoples lives makes them prick up their ears and listen.

Again, I am asking you, where were these same people whilst hundreds of thousands were being raped, murdered and tortured and forced to starve by Africas dictators? They are bit like Sunnites, in that (and it is a fair comparison) if the Palestinians had been Sh'ia muslims, not one tear would have been shed.
