[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 1001380, member: 40658"] To non-saffers, yeah, I can see that as applicable. But this whole time I've been responding as a South African, and over here it's completely different. Those comics are actually pretty damn good. The reason why the slogan All lives matter is being used over here, instead of White Lives Matter, is precisely what you are illustrating, and that slogan is used to move away from racism. It's the white farmers that are being murdered, and there are protests nearly every week now. The idea isn't to take away the message of BLM in the USA, and what is going on there, it's to incorporate that idea of brutality and nothing being done to stop it, and localising it into something applicable in South Africa. If a white person would walk around with a banner saying white lives matter in the streets of SA, there would be a mob stoning that person to death within seconds. [/QUOTE]
