O/T:- Mr George Floyd RIP

If you're talking about OldPie it was he who raised the idea of 'giving our moderators something to worry about'. At which point I urged him to not do so as I don't want this thread to descend into that.

I do think it's possible to be racist through ignorance if that's what you mean. I believe i've been guilty of that in the past too. Acknowledging that and being prepared to learn and move on is what makes us grow as human beings.

I've watched the video a few people have posted with Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Lil Wayne and Anthony Mackie too and it's interesting with some valid points. But the things that need pointing out about it are:
- It's been edited together from longer interviews with each person so some context of their conversations is removed
- It's been edited as a piece of propaganda by a channel that describes itself as "an online media platform designed to broadcast conservative values"
- The people in it are very successful black people and their opinions cannot be seen to represent all black people
- I'm not sure the views in it even represent the current views of the people in it. Morgan Freeman, Lil Wayne and Anthony Mackie have all been tweeting or re-tweeting in support of #BlackLivesMatter over the last week.

Maybe because those interviews don't suit your narrative but a-ho, whatever. On another thread, you said "not being to see the wood for the trees" , a saying (and I'm not denying I might have used myself) I've always hated. For me, it's just someone with a different opinion
