The result is instead of BLM gaining my support I have become defensive and resentful.

And on the subject of elephants the one in the room right now is that blokes like me can't express views without being considered racist.
Also in the US especially the issue is not just George Floyd And the knee on his neck but more what Al Sharpton said the systematic knee on all black peoples neck in the US

Seriously please watch that documentary it will show you something of how unfair the whole system is

If hundreds of thousands of families lose a father figure for trivial reasons and sees a system that oppressed them and wants to enslave them
That has a knock on effect and will become a self filling prophecy for both black and white in society
