@TeWaio said in Black Lives Matter:
Oscars: Only diverse films will be considered for best picture
I'm waiting for someone to do a closing title meme with credits like "Token Cisgender Clapper Loader" and "Token Black Disabled Foley Editor".....
On a serious note, does this mean films from Asia or Africa will be banned if they don't have say, white actors, writers or directors?

Michael Holding is pissy that neither of England, Pakistan and Australia 'took a knee in England’s Test and Twenty20 series against Pakistan, while neither England nor Australia did in their T20 series concluded on Tuesday. The are also unlikely to do so in the ODI series starting early on Saturday.
Holding believes all three teams are compromising the fight for equality.'

I love Michael Holding
But I'm not sure that cricket is the right sport to be fighting this particular fight, when you look at where the power in the sport is centered.

Just demonstrates racism - a billion Indians aren't black enough.

That's an absolutely ridiculous statement.
And very disappointing after his initial comments on it which were some of the most truly emotive and powerful I've been since this all kicked off.

I’m no fanboy for the BLM movement in its current extreme political form and would defend anyone’s right not to make a gesture just for expediency but if you think a sport doesn’t need to consider this issue just because it is in itself pretty inclusive, then you’re wide of the mark.

Same but I hope he wakes up tomorrow after a few corubas and realised he’s being a dick here

Dogs are pack animals, they bond with you and we are supposed to give them away because we are white?
That really has to be a piss take. -
Fucking scum

@Rembrandt despicable. America is a dumpster fire right now, in every way
Absolutely. The amount of mental cases on both sides of the political spectrum is truly mind boggling
