Given the rates of suicide here, they probably were. And that’s the really sad thing. Oh, he wasn’t murdered by a cop or some mob, he just killed himself. Whelp. Move on, I guess. The state of mental health for Black people in this country is so bad, a suicide shouldn’t be considered a “win” ’cause there wasn’t another person directly causing the death. I don’t think I’m explaining myself too well (damn you, hazy IPA), but I hope you get my point.
Global BLM/Anti-racism chat...
I get you’ve had some beers. 
I’ll try again tomorrow 
Have we got any stats on white suicides being hung in trees? Asking for a friend.
It’s funny because up until now I always just assumed Uncle Ben was a real man, making industrial amounts of rice in a giant super cauldron somewhere near Texas.
I now realise that this is unlikely.
Any Rugby fans out there?
Swing low, Sweet chariot song to be banned by RFU due to ties to slavery.
Lol!

Hursty Its ties? It’s a slaves’ song and a lot of people have always been uncomfortable about it.
They should ban it on the basis it’s absolutely nauseating too.
Can I still shout COME ON TIIIIIM! At Wimbles?
Millsy In a Jamaican accent? No, that’s inappropriate.
mono-stereo lol. Its only racist if you suck your teeth at line calls.
Smallman1 And that…
Hilarious, a whole stadium of white toffs singing a slave song to fire up the team during difficult moments in a match. If any of the black players were aware of it then it just goes to show what they’ve been living through. Strange times.

I watched the parliamentary debate on the effects of Covid on BAME communities yesterday on bbc parliament.
If reading out virtue-signalling platitudes was an effective solution to racism it would be completely eradicated after that “debate”.
What an absolute sham.

At one point some SNP SMP proudly declared she’d registered her constituency office as a 3rd party hate crime reporting centre because “often Black people don’t realise they’ve been a victim of a crime and it was up to others to report it.”

Likewise.
I always hold up Uncle Ben and The Man from Del Monte as examples of what you can achieve if you work hard to my daughter.
