    Privileged men taking the knee who earn more in a week kicking a ball round a field than most earn in a year.... only got away with it because the stadiums were near empty...

    One of the BLM founders recently bought a $10m mansion in Beverly Hills and several other multi million dollar properties across the US. I fail to see how that is proper use of people’s donations. Would love to see coverage of that Sky.

    My personal opinion
    I think it's good to take a stand against racism. to help fellow human beings to live in harmony not stratified because all people in the world are all human beings But the stance also looks at the intent that there is a real intent to want to protect fellow human beings or not.
    ความคิดเห็นส่วนตัวของผมนะครับ
    ผมคิดว่าการแสดงจุดยืนที่ออกมาต่อต้านการเหยียดผิวก็เป็นสิ่งที่ดี เพื่อช่วยเหลือเพื่อนมนุษย์ด้วยกันให้อยู่เป็นปกติสุข ไม่ถูกแบ่งแยกชนชั้น เพราะคนทุกคนบนโลกล้วนเป็นมนุษย์เหมือนกัน แต่การแสดงจุดยืนก็ดูที่เจตนาด้วยว่ามีเจตนาแท้จริงแล้วอยากจะปกป้องเพื่อนมนุษย์ด้วยกันจริงหรือป่าว

    ALM - All Lives Matter for Jesus Christ. Everyone is a victim of pre-existing sin. For God all lives are equal. God loves everyone unconditionally. Jesus Christ came from heaven to earth for one purpose only - to die on the Cross for remissions of pre-existing sins of every single person and resurrect. Jesus Christ providing forgiveness of pre-existing sins, salvation from eternity in hell, and free entry to eternity in heaven for all who repent of sins in Jesus Christ.
    Otherside of death is eternity. Eternity in hell. Or eternity in heaven through Jesus Christ. Penalty of pre-existing sin already paid by Jesus Christ on The Cross. Accept Jesus Christ, be saved from pre-existing sin and eternal hell for free.
