@HN 🐑 You have no idea what you're doing. Useful Idiot

[@Sarah-uu4ks]

How can you report BP held racist veiws and supported fascism - he did not. Get your facts right. He upheld friendship across nations and supported millions of young people to achieve their potential. He should be applauded. The statue must stay.

[@Pacbandit13]

@Jack Brown that legitimately makes no sense, how is a meritocratic society which eliminates white supremacy a threat to white existence? If anything its end is a benefit to all humanity Black, white, Asian and everyone.
