It was put on my face book , I was unaware of Lee's parents wishes.... I respect them totally and am trying to get it removed immediately.
You're disgusting Baz, you ought to be ashamed of yourself for posting this. It goes totally against Lee's family's wishes, just to point score. https://www.itv.com/news/granada/20...-divisive-way-in-black-lives-matter-campaign/
Even if his family hadn't expressed their opposition to this it's still borderline racist, asinine whataboutery. And if you cared that much you'd spell his name right.
Not only is it a pretty **** meme used by racists, you’ve also spelt his name incorrectly. Flipping heck Baz.
Why would you even consider this to be a well thought out argument? Does the disgusting murder of Lee Rigby justify the disgusting murders being perpetrated against black people? Had the family not said anything, it still doesn't justify that sort of post.
Even if you were unaware of the families wishes, it is a post with definite racist connotations: not your finest moment!
I didn't see the original post before it was edited but doesn't a white guy getting killed by people of a different race just give more support to the idea that racism is wrong rather than being a reason to say racism is good?
