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

True. There is a level of black boldness not just here but globally like we haven't seen in years, almost like a new spirit is awakening.

My fear is not opposition (cos I welcome it personally), I'm just don't want this to be some temporary thing cos it's cool right now. Neither do I want us sidetracked by bullshyt. Look what they're doing in America by throwing in those white female agents walking around with signs saying how much they love black dikk - anything to undermine the struggle and throw off the energy by giving us fake accolades and validation which we don't need.

Something tangible and permanent needs to come out of this rather than it being a footnote in history. Plus we gotta get rid of all the tribal divisions we have within our own communities and come under the banner of being black.

Lewis Hamilton to set up commission to increase diversity in motor sport
  • Hamilton aims to ‘engage young black people’ in motor sport
  • F1 world champion has spoken widely on race in recent weeks
The six-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton is to set up a commission to try to increase diversity and boost BAME representation across motor sport.

Hamilton, who said he felt “so much anger, sadness and disbelief” after the death of George Floyd, has spoken widely on race in light of protests over the killing in Minneapolis. The Mercedes driver said the aim of his commission would be to make the sport “become as diverse as the complex and multicultural world we live in”.

The 35-year-old wrote in the Sunday Times that racism was “only too familiar to me” and said while people were quick to condemn racist gestures like monkey noises being shouted at black footballers, structural issues also need to be addressed.

“I’ve been fighting the stigma of racism throughout my racing career, from kids throwing things at me while karting to being taunted by fans with blacked-up faces at a grand prix [in Spain in 2008], one of my first Formula One races,” Hamilton said.

“I’m used to being one of very few people of colour on my teams and, more than that, I’m used to the idea that no one will speak up for me when I face racism, because no one personally feels or understands my experience.”

'Keep their names out of your stinking unbrushed mouths': Ian Wright launches furious defence of Alex Scott, Micah Richards and other black pundits targeted by racists after Sky Sports sack Matt Le Tissier, Phil Thompson and Charlie Nicholas
  • Ian Wright has launched a defence of black pundits targeted by racists
  • Sky Sports sacked Phil Thompson, Charlie Nicholas and Matt Le Tissier
  • Some Twitter users reacted negatively and criticised black and female pundits

Wright, who often appears as a pundit on Match of the Day, said: 'Woah, I've had to pull the car over. The racism is going through the roof today.

'Can somebody just answer me this: What does Micah Richards, Alex Scott, Sol Campbell, Clinton Morrison, or any other black pundit have to do with Sky's decision to get rid of these guys? All because three middle-aged white guys have got the sack.

'I kiss my teeth, say raasclaat and all that sort of stuff. What have they done? What have these guys done? Because a black person or a woman might get the opportunity to do this job. They might get a chance to do this show. Why are people upset?'.
