I question if people are using the BLM protest as a cover to protest for their own reasons. I'm not against people peacefully protesting for whatever reason, even if there's no reason at all, but I am against people not being clear on their cause. Like in Mexico, I don't believe people are protesting because of "systemic racism" since everyone in the country, including the police, are also Mexican (refer to post 3...edited to Brown race...a place where the entire population is ethnically homogeneous or near that, like Japan or South Korea would be a better example).
Are the protests we're seeing in some countries caused by George Floyd's death? Or is it caused by some other deeper reason? Some people believe that it's a mix of factors, like bad economies, coronavirus lockdowns, government corruption, and seeing unrest in the US was just the tipping point.
What do you guys think is the cause for these protests?
Here is one response from a member here:
We are in a perfect storm for widespread national unrest with the entire country being locked down for months, unemployment not seen since the Great Depression, massive numbers of people needing food assistance, ever widening gap between rich and poor, fake news out of all sources (even the White House), distrust of any authorities, police brutality, and not to mention the centuries of racism that this country has had ever since the very beginning.
