I think it was always there but social media has made it both more visible and given people with those views the confidence to air them.I went to a few anti Nazi league marches and events when I was younger (still at school)
I was strongly anti racist but I'll be honest it always used to kick off with the NF and for lads of our age out was a great laugh.
There were real issues with racism back then and you may tell me different and I'll accept that but I think things did get better for a long time (not perfect but better).
I think we've hurled backwards in the last few years and it pissed me off. Life throws up enough shit as it is without this silly ignorant bollocks looming over society

With people like Trump in charge they feel empowered. The Brexit vote did something similar here in the UK albeit not on the same scale - (it also took away from people that wanted to leave the EU but were not of this nature)I think it was always there but social media has made it both more visible and given people with those views the confidence to air them.
Yep, almost 30 years and nothing seems to have changed.It’s a thoroughly depressing world we live in at times. I can remember as a naive young man watching the LA riots after Rodney King was mercilessly beaten by the police, & thinking this is so wrong. Here we are so many years later still doing the same shit.

1991 wasn’t it?It's way longer than 30 years.
1991 wasn’t it?
Ahh. I get the point you’re making. Yes it’s been much much longer.Rodney King yes, but the issues and similar incidents have been going on for longer than the US has existed.

I think there are many who are using this as an excuse to go on the rampage. Peaceful protests, voting in Mayors and Police Chiefs that promise to make a difference, that's the way forward. Burning and looting ... no wonder they're being shot at.What is pretty galling is watching a group of social inadequate white kids jump on this tragic issue to express their violent tendencies in the only way they can. Destroying black communities in the process. Over privileged emotionally repressed pricks
Peaceful protests have been going on for years and nothing has happened. Districts are heavily gerrymandered to suppress the black vote.I think there are many who are using this as an excuse to go on the rampage.

You weren’t bothered about social distancing when you wanted to go to a football match but now people are losing their shit after years of watching people being murdered it’s important?Social distancing at it's best
I didn't say it was important in the grand scheme of things. Have a look at those at downing Street as well.You weren’t bothered about social distancing when you wanted to go to a football match but now people are losing their shit after years of watching people being murdered it’s important?
You lefties didn't seem that bothered yesterday about social distancing during your half arsed protest tbf.You weren’t bothered about social distancing when you wanted to go to a football match but now people are losing their shit after years of watching people being murdered it’s important?
The yanks have form for this kind of brutality. I'm shocked it still goes on in the year 2020. As for antifa,just a bunch of middle class jelly babies who are more facist than anyone else.Glorifying and supporting antifa is a bit like someone coming on here and praising the EDL, almost certainly worse actually.
I try and debate reasonably on here, but some of the hypocrisy from the left is absolutely staggering.
ANTIFA? Are you fucking serious!?
Not to take this too off track but I'm currently working full time and you're living off the state. Fucking leftie scum.You lefties didn't seem that bothered yesterday during your half arsed protest tbf.
So are the wankers in the clip
Darragh MacAnthony has retweeted this. No condemnation of the killing of George Floyd, no standing in solidarity with BLM. Just this. Guy is a real piece of shit.
Lol. Squeezing at gnats as alwaysYou lefties didn't seem that bothered yesterday about social distancing during your half arsed protest tbf.
I'm living of the state? I've worked since I was 16 and I've paid more into the pot than you have you fucking cretin.Not to take this too off track but I'm currently working full time and you're living off the state. Fucking leftie scum.
Just pointing out the hypocrisy of the left. Do as we say not as we do.Lol. Squeezing at gnats as always
Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and earn your own money instead of leeching my taxes. Anybody that has taken furlough payments is a socialist. Sorry to tell you bud.I'm living of the state? I've worked since I was 16 and I've paid more into the pot than you have you fucking cretin.
Why do you assume that anyone who is against racism is a leftie? Are you implying that anyone who supports Johnson and co is a racist?You lefties didn't seem that bothered yesterday about social distancing during your half arsed protest tbf.
At least they have masks to prevent the spread of coronaSo are the wankers in the clip
Suck it up bitch.Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and earn your own money instead of leeching my taxes. Anybody that has taken furlough payments is a socialist. Sorry to tell you bud.
I don't think we should engage him to be honest, the guy isn't bothered about the murder of black people and wants to make it about his dislike of other peoples politics.Why do you assume that anyone who is against racism is a leftie? Are you implying that anyone who supports Johnson and co is a racist?
No,I'm bothered about the murder of innocent people regardless of their skin colour. You obviously aren't.I don't think we should engage him to be honest, the guy isn't bothered about the murder of black people and wants to make it about his dislike of other peoples politics.
