The protests and the Black Lives Matter movement have destroyed the 48 hour news cycle. Instead of people shaking their heads and then going about life as usual, this story rightfully is not going away until the world changes.
I don’t know exactly who the statue here was, but I’m gonna guess it has something to do w Bristol‘s (UK) huge history as a major slave trade center.
this should also stop the bullshit argument about Black British ppl automatically having not gone through slavery, etc.
