Chit Chat
Good to see we continue to hit such intellectual heights on here.
Black lives matter and the thousands I have put into education in Uganda shows this.
But I do not support BLM because I support capitalism.
BLM
Perhaps if BLM really cared about blacks, they’d concentrate on the one continent that has the least clean water, sanitation, food, electricity but the most black people.
Europe and America have become havens for black people due to prosperity. The kind of prosperity achieved via capitalism. The kind of prosperity and capitalism that has yet to be achieved in Africa.
Perhaps if BLM really cared about blacks, they’d concentrate on the one continent that has the least clean water, sanitation, food, electricity but the most black people.
They don't seem to really care unless they can blame a white person. Burkino Faso is closer to the UK than Minnesota and on the same day Goegre Floyd was killed dozens of black men, woman and children were killed in an attack on a market and you never heard a peep from them.
No doubt some will say this is whataboutery but if your organisation is going to use slogans like "silence is violence" and you have people like Lewis Hamilton criticising people for failing to denounce the George Floyd killing then you must expect to have these things turned back on you.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) said more than 200 teachers and other staff had been targeted since 2017 - some of them shot, others beheaded.
The armed Islamists say they oppose education as it is French and Western.
They have shot over the heads of students to scare them away. Schools have been blown up and used as military bases. Books have been burned and canteens looted.
All schools in Burkina Faso are now shut because of coronavirus.
But Islamist militant attacks had already forced 2,500 schools to close, depriving more than a 330,000 children of education.

To be fair before the statue of Coulston was ripped down by thugs it was used it as a place to highlight modern day slavery.
