now Anthony Joshua tells racists to F*** O**

'If you think I'm a racist, go f*** yourself': Anthony Joshua hits back at critics of his speech during Black Lives Matters protest where he told people to 'abstain from spending money in their shops and invest in black-owned businesses'

• Anthony Joshua has hit back at critics who have labelled him as a 'racist'
• The heavyweight champion read a speech during a BLM protest on Saturday
• A snippet of the initial speech was taken out of context on social media
• Joshua responded to the backlash by sharing an image of text on Twitter

"Wearing a black hoodie with the movement's name on the front, the WBA, WBO and IBF world champion joined hundreds of others on the peaceful protest in his home town of Watford, while pictured on crutches and sporting a leg brace .

The unified heavyweight champion was then filmed at a park gathering, where he read a speech from a piece of paper and spoke out in the fight against racism.

"The virus has been declared a pandemic. It is out of control. And I'm not actually talking about COVID-19. The virus I'm referring to is called racism.”

Boxing champ Anthony Joshua gave a speech at a protest in England, then led a "Black Lives Matter" chant."

They want us all to be subservient and keep our mouths shut. Not happening. Shaming tactics won't work.

I want this black boldness to continue to make momentum worldwide and not just on some trendy shyt either.

I'm not gonna click on the Daily Fail article to read the comments cos I already know it will be some right-wing bullshyt with cacs in their feelings.

Adding Gary Younge to the list

What Black America Means to Europe
Gary Younge

"“It is quite true that the English are hypocritical about their Empire,” wrote George Orwell in “England Your England.” “In the working class this hypocrisy takes the form of not knowing that the Empire exists.” In 1951, a decade after that essay was published, the UK government’s social survey revealed that nearly three-fifths of respondents could not name a single British colony.


Such selective amnesia about their own imperial legacy leads ineluctably to a false sense of superiority around racism among many white Europeans toward the US. Worse is the toxic nostalgia that to this day taints their misunderstanding of that history. One in two Dutch people, one in three of Britons, one in four of the French and Belgians, and one in five Italians believe that their country’s former empire is something to be proud of, according to a YouGov poll from March of this year. Conversely, only one in twenty Dutch, one in seven French, one in five Britons, and one in four Belgians and Italians regard their former empires as something to be ashamed of. These are all nations that saw large demonstrations in solidarity with the George Floyd protests in the US."

This is the shyt I've been hoping for maybe this could lead us in having our afro Caribbean UK based banks, and other stuff as a collective.

I think there are a few black banks, I remember seeing a list but as usual it just hasn't gained the support needed as yet.

 

[DaRealness]

Ok white boy

Dude's just been trying too hard today. The thread is about a black man speaking up against racism and encouraging investment in black owned businesses and this guy's making lame jokes that aren't even funny.

Wow had no idea, maybe with this situation there could be support.

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

UK bruvs internalizing them lessons on black militancy

I'd love to see that, but as black people we don't seem to support and stick together like we should until our backs are really against the wall. We shouldn't have to wait until we're under attack to then decide what to do for each other. Other communities just do what they have to do regardless. Just around the corner from me, there's FIVE Turkish businesses on one side of the high street alone and they all know each other. I seen them all help each other until their businesses were completed in a short space of time. I NEVER see us work together like that and we've got much higher numbers and have been in the country way longer. It's embarassing and sad.

My only fear is that when this all blows over we just go back to the same bullshyt.

Preach. Although the root cause of that behaviour is also because of racism if you really peel off the layers

But honestly, I don't think this one is blowing over. The movement this time seems different. It's got legs and people are taking note and listening. they tore down a statue of a slave trader and chucked it in the river...

I could be wrong, hope I'm not but right now this is a GLOBAL effort and as far back as I can remember I can't ever recall protests of this nature being so joined up on across different continents
