Statue removal, Floyd’s funeral, coronavirus protest; World In Photos, June 9, 2020

1. Why the music

2. George floyd who???

3. Never really wanted to buy a gun but cw2 may happen. Might as well defend myself

4. Hopefully next is the Karl Marx and Emily Pankhurst statue

5. Everyone seems to be making Mr. Floyd out as a upstanding citizen and while I sympathize with his family and do not condone the choking manueuver, he had a criminal history and he was resisting arrest, and apparently he was being very physical! If criminals did not resist arrest, forceful action by police would not happen. If you get caught breaking the law, give up peacefully and things will go much better! To me, the BLM movement and the KKK have the same agenda, just for different folks. Does the black community want to so away from protection from lawbreakers? Who they gonna call “ghostbusters?”

6. History is very interesting. No one’s hands are truely clean. 1 min to google below:

   African chiefs urged to apologise for slave trade. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2009/nov/18/africans-apologise-slave-trade

   What African tribes were involved in the slave trade?
   Many nations such as the Ashanti of present-day Ghana and the Yoruba of present-day Nigeria were involved in slave-trading. Groups such as the Imbangala of Angola and the Nyamwezi of Tanzania would serve as intermediaries or roving bands, waging war on African states to capture people for export as slaves. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa#Local_slave_trade

   How did African kings benefit from the slave trade?
   African rulers largely maintained and dictated the control and supply of captives to the Atlantic slave trade. The impact of the trade was to increase individual fortunes in the short run. But through competition with each others, rulers could have their powers reduced or eliminated as well as strengthened. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zxt3gk7/revision/7

7. Statue of Nelson Mandela parliament square should be removed on the grounds of
   Created a terrorist wing.
   He later pleaded guilty in court to acts of public violence, and behind bars sanctioned more, including the 1983 Church St car bomb that killed 19 people.

8. That’s so disrespectful for the man that died on both sides of the civil war,

9. Another one goes to my history book

10. This is one for you NBC people just don't get what us native american went through maybe they need to put everybody on the rez, see how it feels to be a native american!!!!!!!!

11. I think the only way around the "STATUE INCIDENTS", is to take ALL STATUES down, have NO STATUES at all, including Musical artists, and kind of STATUE, take it down. This way, if we have NO STATUES AT ALL, then they cannot offend anyone, simple solution. Then if something else offend a culture, like here in Britain, some cultures don't like the British flag, take it away, or change it to multi-cultural flag, of different colours. Close down History Museums, as these could offend different cultures, don't teach history of any kind, as this could offend different cultures, don't fly any flags, as this could offend different cultures, take the word "English" away, as this could offend different cultures.

12. These incidents were caused by the United States,
    
    Unite to demand US claims
    
    Compensate all losses

13. Add a voice over

14. The sky is crying

15. So let’s loot, burn business’, steal Nike’s sneakers, big screen tv’s, Rolex watches, great way to prove your point. What happened to Floyd was disgusting but it was one cop with 3 accomplices. You think you have it so bad in the USA, well here are a few examples of how bad we don’t have it. 1) Germany Hitlers concentration camps 18 million murdered , 2)/China Mao Zedong murdered 45 million, 3) Stalin 30 million murdered, 4) Japanese Hirohito murdered twice as many as the Nazis did. So with this being said we all put that history aside and moved on. Yes, slavery was bad but that was 400 years ago. Don’t you think it’s about time this country moves on from that?

16. Demonstrators my ass
    Rioters &or Looters

17. Scumbag protestors out there over a career criminal are now going to cause millions to get sick.

18. So much for free speech. Just because you can't handle the truth or differing opinions. That's true fascism!!!

19. Praying for all the Saints against propaganda for Antichrist.🛡⚔️
    Ephesians 6:12

20. The celebration of a CRIMINAL

21. This country is done as we know it. Enjoy your freedom while you can.

22. Good going mainstream media! Like you'll be spared if you prostrate yourself before the mob! 12% of the population dictates our lives?

23. Since we're removing monuments to slavery, when are we going to start tearing down mosques?

24. if this is living then what is death like?

25. Next is book burning, thought police, double-speak, and “re-education camps”.

26. https://youtu.be/C0w9H7jJp7I

27. This is what the left wants, this is what you will vote for if trump does not win, people in the EU I don't know how to help you

28. I don't mind the people kneeling and begging for forgiveness… I really don't. It just goes to show that they were truly horrible racists and their faces and names should forever be attached to that racism no matter what they do in their lives. Also figures that those same people are almost without exception Democrats.

29. What a great big joke

30. 1984

31. Insane nonsense.

32. The Great Experiment has failed! Every man for himself!

33. Race baiting fake news. Go ahead and take down my post!!

34. Hype! Hype! Fearmongering and hype!

35. There are many statues that offend me.

36. If black lives matter, why are they pro choice?
