Would you also agree that children in multi-million-pound homes in Holland Park will have the same experience as children from high rise council flats in Glasgow too?

[@bmotion7648]

BLM claimed that black people are subject to police brutality far more often than other races:a totally unfounded claim. The stats actually show that white and hispanic people are more likely to be killed unarmed. It's just a false narrative to create racial division. They also wish to create division on gender too. It was on their website for months till they realised it was giving them bad press and they removed it. There is no White priveledge, there is no institutionalised racism. It's all a lie. If BLM cared about black lives they would mention the 7000 black on black murders in the USA but they don't because they only want to talk about the single digit incidents where a white cop kills a black man. George Floyd died of a drug's overdose too.
