Protests following the killing of George Floyd

Poison Idea - Discontent should be the soundtrack of these last couple of days.

So much discontent in this hatefilled place
How could you want a master race?
We all got to learn to help each other
You are my sister, you are my brother!

Open up your eyes and see, people living in harmony
Listen Nazi Never Again!
Open up your mouth and scream!!!, some of us still have a dream
Listen Nazi Never Again!
Open up your mind and think, what you spew really stinks
Listen Nazi Never Again!
Open up your ears to peace, will this bullshit ever cease?
Never Again!!!

We're members of the same nation
One suppressing opposition
One way we can all be free
Fight the REAL Enemy!!
 
@onemanarmy I prefer Guns n Roses - Civil War

Look at your young men fighting
Look at your women crying
Look at your young men dying
The way they've always done before

Look at the hate we're breeding
Look at the fear we're feeding
Look at the lives we're leading
The way we've always done before

My hands are tied
The billions shift from side to side
And the wars go on with brainwashed pride
For the love of God and our human rights
And all these things are swept aside
By bloody hands time can't deny
And are washed away by your genocide
And history hides the lies of our civil wars

D'you wear a black armband
When they shot the man
Who said, "Peace could last forever."?
And in my first memories
They shot Kennedy
An' I went numb when I learned to see
So I never fell for Vietnam
We got the wall of D.C. to remind us all
That you can't trust freedom
When it's not in your hands
When everybody's fightin'
For their promised land

It isn't but that happens a lot. Seen similar responses reported in similar police related killings. When people have called police stations they''ve been treated with disgust when that topic is approached.

His face and response to Maitlis trying to suggest, in a lecturing tone, that the legacy of slavery/racism in the US was incomparable to Britain was especially good. And the comparison between the ‘MeToo’ movement and BLM I found very crass too. British mainstream media is still often guilty of terrible attempts at approaching and framing racism.

Pelosi is more upset that the Four Seasons restaurant is no longer open.

Some other songs that come to mind:

Inner City Blues - Marvin Gaye
Ohio - Neil Young
 
Holding up a book that's been used to install and maintain social control for centuries; it figures. Heck, even Black folks look to a white man's god for guidance and solace, so effective is the brainwashing.

Was just skimming through the thread. Your friends situation is quite similar to this tweet, the people in which are getting shamed for no reason.

That literally happened in America though within the last few weeks. A group of mostly whites protested to be able to go to brunch and now a mixed coalition is fighting for equal rights.

To be fair to Maitlis, her job is to ask those sort of questions as a decent proportion of the viewers will have that attitude.

Yeah he’s a good un. I grew up in the same estate as him, him and his group all had their heads screwed on despite problems in the area. The story about Julien Cole that he talks about is horrific. Took so many years for action to be taken against the coppers involved too.
 
Been listening to a lot of 5 live and 1 extra today. A very emotional day. I think I'm going to have to have a rethink of my views on life.

I believe this incident happened before Floyd's death.

Yea it’s from a month or so back, and it’s actually a young lad. Was posted in the “cop doing a bad job” thread, you’ll be surprised to hear the PD defended the cop.

I prefer these ones:

Kreator - Hordes of Chaos
Violent chaos haunting me
Mirror of countless human tragedies
Times of horror, constant lies
Totalitarian autocracy's demise
Fake peace, a necrologue for the elite
Brutality among the weak
While children die for armageddon victory's breed
This necrologue for the elite
Like raging beasts among the sheep
While flags are waving everywhere
They scream

Hordes of chaos
Hordes of chaos
Everyone against everyone - chaos
Hordes of chaos
Hordes of chaos
Everyone against everyone - chaos

Brutal riots left and right
Out to destroy, willing to die
Honour killing in blood is she'd
A cruel reality in empires built in sand
Dark war, more gruesome then ever before
Supports this decadence galore
A tyrants feast on shoulders
Of the poorest of the poor
The necrologue for the elite
The rise of the heartless bourgoise
While flags are waving
Everywhere they scream

Hordes of chaos
Hordes of chaos
Everyone against everyone - chaos
Hordes of chaos
Hordes of chaos
Everyone against everyone - chaos

Ultimate crimes, ultimate hate, ultimate war
Ultimate fear, ultimate pain, ultimate terror!

Ultimate death, ultimate sin, ultimate scorn
The ultimate control of masses of everyone!

Now scream
Now scream! Everyone against everyone!
Chaos! Everyone against everyone!
Chaos! Everyone against everyone!
Chaos! Everyone against everyone!
Everyone against everyone!
Everyone against everyone!
Everyone against everyone!
Everyone against everyone!

EVERYONE AGAINST EVERYONE
AGAINST EVERYONE
AGAINST EVERYONE
AGAINST EVERYONE
AGAINST EVERYONE
AGAINST EVERYONE!

HORDES OF CHAOS!

Kreator - Civilization Collapse
Let there be darkness
Let there be blood tonight
Let there be riots
Come start the fires tonight
Can't you see our people have got no choice but to fight them back?
Can't you see the change of consciousness demands a total attack?
Total attack
Finally they're swarming in
A long forgotten youth
The cause of inequality
A paradise for few
Superior, inferior
A vast insanity
When justice is tyranny
Anarchy is breaking out
Destruction marks their way
Burning temples turning into
Dark crypts of decay
The mighty are the fallen now
The weak are on the hunt
Battle on many fronts
There will be darkness
There will be blood tonight
Now let the riots begin
Convulsed by protest
At civilization collapse

Monumental terror
Spreading like a pestilence
From suburbs to the center
Of colossal arrogance
Cascade of aggression
Merely harvest seeds of hate
Storming the barricades
Cities of inception
Burn to ashes in one night
Imperators crying at this grand historic sight
Entering a death spiral tonight they see their fate
Doomed to reincarnate

There will be darkness
There will be blood tonight
So let the riots begin
A social unrest
At civilization collapse

and of course

Kreator - People of the Lie
"The words "image, appearance, and "outwardly" are crucial to understanding the morality of the evil. While they seem to lack any motivation to be good, they intensely desire to appear good. Their "goodness" is all on a level of pretense. It is, in effect, a lie. This is why they are the "people of the lie." "

Don't look at me as if i didn't know
Your vanity is all you ever show
What you believe and advocate
Fanatic dogma recycled from yesterday

Got a masterplan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

You are to me the waste of flesh and blood
I'd love to see you buried in the mud
And when you die no one will shed a tear
So pass me by don't need your hatred here

Got a masterplan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

Prejudice
Intolerance
Eye for an eye

You cannot hide behind those empty claims
Your racist pride is nothing but a game
And you will lose for right is on the side
Of those who choose to fight for humankind

Got a masterplan
Genocide
Can't understand
People of the lie

You can't believe
Don't be deceived
