"This is your problem too. It's mine. It's yours. It's everybody's." Greg James spoke about George Floyd's death, racism, and what you can do.
This is the start of our show tonight. Hearing reggie watts speak so honestly and openly is something I’ll never forget. ❤️
Just found out that George Floyd was originally stopped by the police because he handed over a counterfeit note in a shop. I did that once! They handed me back the note as a souvenir, and later I told the story on stage in a comedy routine. That’s some privilege right there.
Statues aren’t about history they are about adoration. This man was not great, he was a slave trader and a murderer. Historian David Olusoga brilliantly explains why BLM protestors were right to tear down the statue of Edward Colston.
