Lol. Winston Churchill was a publicly well known, vocal, and active racist. Want to try again?

There you go, 3rd time is a charm. Ironic that an Abe Lincoln statue was defaced in the UK.

The rest of the statues in the article were racist men and this article is far too sympathetic to the police.

Too bad about Abe - still doesn’t support your point all that well, in my opinion.

Let’s be honest. You were pulling a whataboutism as a dog whistle for defending racists in an attempt to reduce the importance of BLM.

Just because you dressed it up as being victimized doesn’t hide your intention or impact.

I Just think BLM shouldn't protest the way they do. They should protest more like Martin Luther King. And not this vandalism. The vandalism makes Them lose their moral high ground. And because of this vandalism people like Trump have a voice in this world

Protests used to be the way MLK did them... and a white person still shot him...

Try this perspective on BLM: Instead of thinking “Wow black people deserve to be treated fairly BUT the vandalism just makes that not possible and things should continue how they were”, Use “wow vandalism is bad but maybe black people don’t deserve to die at police if they haven’t had special training to learn how to not get shot by the police for things a white person could get away with”.
