Some Extinction Rebellion activists present climate warming as a disaster waiting to happen. But for my cousins in the global south, the dystopian future has already arrived. A staggering 12 million people in Kenya, Ethiopia and Somalia are facing hunger caused by low rainfall. Deadly tropical diseases are spreading more easily as the climate warms, and 780,000 people a year are dying in Africa because of air pollution.
athianakec_myp True, XR needs to engage a more diverse audience to achieve system change and it is working on it. I see the shortcomings to confirm that opposing an exploitative system is unfortunately a priviledge. Yet XR also achieved so much. I invite everyone to contribute improving it.
athianakec_myp Me too: but the emphasis on arrestable actions is largely a product of the press. There are stacks of non-arrestable roles within ExtinctionR crying out for people from ethnic minorities
and then they attack BAME spaces as well such as the Canning Town. They need to face the facts, hard working people of colour are not attracted by their message and we dont want to associate with them or want them in our spaces.
White middle class faces. The tofu munching Savannahs and Olivers don’t need to work. They are either work-shy students supported by exhausted burnt out parents or confused pensioners sitting on large asset mountains who take great delight disrupting the rest of us.
athianakec_myp ah yes, the circular firing squad of the left
Seriously pathetic
athianakec_myp How is that their fault!! They haven’t banned people of colour from taking part
'WE MUST SHAME PEOPLE OF COLOR INTO DOING THE LIBERAL WHITE MAN'S BIDDING!'
Handing out leaflets in the city on the XR protest on Monday. Noticed how many people of colour took the leaflets, wasn’t a scientific comparison but it seemed proportionally more that the white passers by
So XR India, XR Pakistan, XR, Venezuela, XR Chile... I can keep going. They don’t exist ?
Nobody is asking any race to not participate. Nobody is excluding anyone. This article is disgusting.
Dear oh dear bit 90's this article. One big long poor me whine rather than getting involved and helping.
All I see is mental illness
I always check out the Twitter profiles of people who write these race based articles 9/10 times their profile is all 'acceptable' racist stuff. No different with this kid.
What is your point?!! Are you saying black people aren't interested or white people shouldn't protest?!!
It's Jon Snow again, 'I've never seen so many white faces'
Because they live in a desert?
Agreed agreed agreed.
Peak Guardian.
Stop posting racist drivel.
Very interesting read and have to note, 'the tactic of being purposely arrested strikes an uncomfortable note for many people of colour' - as does ExtinctionRebellion comparing their actions to the civil rights work of RosaParks. ER should be aware, these things do get noticed.
Cut it out. Why does everything have to do with race?
OMFG. This anti British anti white media campaign is abysmal.
White privileged faces. The rest of us a rather tied up with commitments.
Ah so extinction rebellion are a racist organisation? That's exactly what you would say if it was a political party...
Embarrassing. These are nothing more than brainwashed cultists.
They should be treated as what there actions do and they are nothing more than terrorists
The whole movement needs to be shut down
I can't help but feel that maybe white man is to blame so he can clean it up. I doubt weather would affect ethnic minorities as much as colonial white man has..
Correction: There need be no faces: PS Brown, Black and Yellow faces need FossilFuels to grow their respective economies: Do not oppress them.
Middle class communist twits are the new alt right,The loonie left is such fun all jockeying on the victim heirachy
Maybe other ethnicities have more pressing existential things on their minds, like going to work to provide food and shelter for their families?
itsbadboyprince
Perhaps change where you're looking.
private school kids !!!!! indoctrinated.. so sad
You want them to paint their faces!? What a bigot!
The left will eat itself
