Also worth mentioning that this Floyd character was no saint, and if he had lived in China he would have got one behind the ear long ago How do you know? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Poverty is a factor in violent crimes, so PoC and indigenous people are over-represented in the stats. The salient point is that PoC are targeted specifically because of their skin colour, by non black males and police. That's the main issue in these protests. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think not. Have a march for Aborigines then, not some man with no connection to Oz. Exactly, the American death whilst sad should not be the trigger point in Aus. Sounds like my fellow Aussies are just using it as an excuse for the sake of protesting. Neither of you get it. I doubt you have experienced systemic and lifelong racial discrimination in your existence 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This is about the culture of systemic racism from law enforcement agencies towards POC,and in Australia towards Aboriginal men and women in custody. nice try at deflection, but not the issue here.

riclag 6,886 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 (edited) Australia needs a designated protest city ! You must stage 100 or less empty police cars , multi brand fully stocked department stores and businesses ,all within a one k of each other then Invite protestors with a 8 hour time limit. Think of the advantages this experiment would have on lives,property while instilling social awareness Edited June 6, 2020 by riclag 1 Link to post Share on other sites

What is this endemic racism you speak of ? Aboriginal people are 3% of the population but 34% of those incarcerated. The manner of the deaths in custody of the Aboriginal population is often preventable, and most often as a result of violence or neglect ( with holding medications etc, ) at the hands of either police or custodial officers. Rarely have people been prosecuted or convicted. I understand you cannot see past your own bias, and any objective view of situations for you currently is not possible. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Except SA, demo's have been cancelled due to Covid concerns. trump wannabees in Oz and elsewhere is regrettably a fact of political life. On the other side of the coin trump admires Putin, Orban and others - excellent representative of the Office of the President of the USA - LOL Edited June 6, 2020 by simple1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
