The opening post, immediately sought to downplay many of the issues they face as irrelevant. Others have sought to establish - as fact - that many issues faced by the BAME community simply do not exist.
Tens of thousands didn't wake up this morning and take to the streets for a laugh, because they believe they have equal opportunity but fancied a day out. Anthony Joshua the world heavyweight champion in boxing - joined the protests.

So starting at home doesn't work for you? So lets just forget self responsibility shall we. If we don't educate our families as a start how can it begin?
I'll also remind you that children are not born racist,they are taught to be so..if we educate the young to avoid it then it becomes easier to face it down in the playground,the street,the borough,the town,the city. If it was a subject that white people weren't afraid to confront in the past perhaps we would be at a stage where we didn't need to be confronting it now.
I have never forgotten the conversation I had in a London Primary school playground in 1959. Asked where I had come from I innocently answered Nigeria. The next question was "Why aren't you black then?" Ignorance is something to be educated against..as that idiot found out.

That doesn’t transpose to over here.
If they were to protest about gang culture and the amount of black people being stabbed every week, well I’d get my placard and join them........but they’re not.

Black communities live in the worst areas for resources and education..that's what needs addressing.
