There's a sign of endemic racism in the way that a lot of people comment on the murder of George Floyd and the ensuing unrest.
Just like earlier in this thread, a lot of people will say something like:
"Whilst it is sad someone died who was innocent until proven guilty. I agree, it does not give people the right to go on the rob, burn things & try to kill local Police.. I bet if it was their business / house being targeted they would ring 911."
But think about the order of that: 'whilst it is sad someone (yet another black person) was murdered by a cop, it's wrong to go rioting'.
Both of those statements can be right, but where are we putting the emphasis? Shouldn't we be saying 'Whist it's wrong to go rioting, someone (yet another black man) was murdered by a cop.' ?
I'm not suggesting anyone does this intentionally, but the fact that so many people structure their views by emphasising that the really wrong thing is damage to property and theft, instead of repeated murder and abuse of power from police forces targeted disproportionately against black people, should be an alarm bell that something is seriously wrong, and it goes deep in to the core of society. |

Same thing happened to me, had to tweet them to figure out you need to sign up for an account then sign in before the right button appears. The rest of the online process is just as bad!
Told them this was unintuitive a couple of weeks ago, really dissapointed it's not been fixed and is clearly causing others trouble too. If it's happened to both of us how many have been put off buying them because of the shoddy website? |

Will the Ratcliffe be showing the early kick off before the game today? Got a few AFC supporting friends traveling up who fancy watching it |
