But its the same political activism that is turning people off. there is no question that black people around the world seem to face the same sort of discrimination, and there is no question that a movement is required to force governments to change legislation. but unless we deal with the high percentage of black on black hatred, black lives matter will fade away and life will go back to how it was before the us elections. what carma is asking is, is it something that the us and the uk are preo...

Are you comfortable with what is being said and done by the group of people youre following? do you have the same values, the same wants? if you dont, the outcomes being promised may never be within your reach, but because youre emotionally caught up, you will continually be part of a movement like blm, which only benefits those people at the top. is there light at the end of the tunnel? i believe so. are we seeing positive outcomes? i believe so. but to come back to my main thing, is be true to...

I think all lives matter has been used in a - way that almost forces people | to choose whether its all lives matter or only the | black lives matter. from my understanding, - thats not what blm is all about. i think blm is about- highlighting the injustices faced by black communities around the world, - and i firmly believe that only when black lives matter, - then all lives will matter. ok, thanks. lets go now to singapore to carma elliott for her question. what do you want to ask our two pane...

Let me ask you very quickly, opal, because on social media, we had so many people asking us if its possible for there to be a stronger alliance between blm and stop asian hate, because we have seen some really horrific attacks on people of east asian origin in the united states because theyre being blamed for covid—i9, you know, kung flu and that kind of comment weve heard. white supremacy is the shared enemy that we all have. i believe that black lives matter and folks who are part of the sto...

Independent organisation to provide the report that would even answer this question fairly. but i live in the uk, and here in the uk, we have 43 the met, which polices london, was found to be institutionally racist in 1999. since then, weve had the report that looked into our criminaljustice system, which is similar to the judicial institutions in the states. there was no systemic structure of institutional racism, so basically, this question, opinion will always override the facts because we ca...
