Is this a critical moment in the context of the pandemic? Are we about to see a complete break down of society in the states with unemployment, racism and deep inequality acting as a powder keg for huge change?

I dont understand why protesters have attacked the CNN building in Atlanta. When it was a black CNN reporter who was arrested for no reason, not really the fault of CNN.
I’m sure this was the take of a load of people when they chucked a load of tea in Boston harbour and now they commemorate it.They have a valid reason to protest, burning down homes and buildings and looting from stores is a joke and they're just using this as a reason to act like arseholes. They had a man on the news who sunk his life savings into a sports bar and it was destroyed before he even had a chance to pull his first beer. They're destroying their own community and the lives of their neighbours.
Yep that’s what distresses me the most. Pales into insignificance when compared with the murder itself but you heap more and more violence and everyone suffers.

It’s not that, if you expect to resolve things long term you need to visualise an idea a hope and then put steps to make them happen. The black community will not win an armed fight against the authorities it’s better to use old women on buses. Anger totally understandable of course but we need less violence not moreWhite folk telling black folk how to be angry.
They tried peacefully kneeling and the fucking cunts kicked off at that.

Oh my gosh. That is a moving speech. How the fuck have we got the buffoon in the White House and yet guys like him able to articulate a message of justice and hope couldn’t get close to the presidency
Oh it’s the message of capitalism and the defining narrative of the human speciesBut when black people see white people protesting against lock down with bazookas strapped to their back and the POTUS asks State governors to give in to their demands then unfortunately the message to draw from that is use force.
What’s the OutKast stuff?I didn't think Killer Mike would ever top his work with Outkast but he's done it there. Interesting to see pieces of shit like Mike Pence and *insert the name of anyone on Fox News* calling for calm protest when they were the same ones telling Colin Kaepernick he should know his place, shut up and play nice.

Why are so many people telling me I should feel guilty for being white? I don't really understand what that achieves.
That’s your takeaway from this?
I don't really understand what you are trying to infer.
This is literally a matter of life or death for millions of people and you’ve made it about you and to add to that it’s something you’ve made up.
I understand this is a topic that is extremely upsetting, but I think you've missed my point entirely.
Your point wasn’t needed is my point.
To label being asked to show compassion and empathy for others as “guilt” is quite frankly incredible. (You or others doing that)
I don’t want to into an argument about it anyway you are a decent bloke from what I can gather on here and as you pointed out this is a very touchy subject for me. I was hesitant to even open the thread if I’m being honest but the majority of comments are pleasing to see.
