Whilst this is an art forum the NFL did a similarish thing with taking the knee. And four years later.... (and yet whose still without a job).

Banksy's Instagram - Black Lives Matter, by tab1 on Jun 6, 2020 12:52:15 GMT 1, Majority of the people on this forum should be disgusted with yourself your silence speaks volumes. I was waiting to see when somebody was going to say something and it took somebody like Banksy to say something for you guys to say something. There is another thread on recent happenings in America but people are too scared or not bothered to discuss the topic noted nor had you commented on said thread🤔😶🤐

I understand what you’re saying but this forum is only a tiny portion of our lives. I can’t speak for everyone but I’m sure there are many like myself who are making their feelings know and taking action in other ways.

I understand as well comments about the relative silence here on the issue and I’ve not said much about it myself. I prefer to address these issues in my own attitudes, behaviours and the way in which I raise my son. Perhaps I could have been more directly vocal here too I suppose.

Don't act like you care now. If you really cared you would have started the discussion. I hope you have donated and expressed support on your social media and not just saying random words on a forum with a relatively small audience.

I was waiting to see when somebody was going to say something and it took somebody like Banksy to say something for you guys to say something. The majority that had something to say on subjects like this were hounded out of this forum by the racist minority some time ago. I myself was involved in a discussion a few years ago over the Syrian refugees and Islam. I begged the forum owner to say something, to block the racists out. Neither the owner nor the guardians had the balls to stand up to them or perhaps they agreed with them. Those that did speak up were hounded until they felt they did not want to be associated with a of forum where so many held these views. And those of us that remained, hardly ever participate in any discussions.

Do not feel Will be seen different Or against the norm to be vocal , part of why this has progressed so far with the negative impacts and consequences And lack of progression is because people are afraid , not effected by the events , disillusioned ,Not bothered , embarrassed Or racist to Publicly engage in discussions , just creates awareness and openness By having open discussions but the topic is treated like a dirty hidden secret And until this banksy thread The topic was ignOred ,ignorance is to state we are on an art forum , it has no relevance and therefore does not effect us , unfortunately only when the Public disorder follows That is when these groups of people will engage in this topic

I thought there was only one color etc... the things you were saying and defending in the thread to share black and minority art is an example of how white people can acknowledge the issue and help begin to move forward.

Banksy's Instagram - Black Lives Matter, by mojo on Jun 6, 2020 15:56:23 GMT 1, A very fitting statement and a beautiful painting by Banksy in honour of the murder of George Floyd. I think many regulars on here know how I feel about racism, I find it completely abhorrent and have done since I was old enough to understand injustice and inequality. Not so long ago on this very forum I called out the racism from one particular member and was told to 'just ignore it and move on' or just block them, a few of the regulars backed me up but the majority remained silent, and that's the problem. It shouldn't take a statement from Banksy to suddenly see that ignoring racism is as bad as being racist, that's a hell of a lot of responsibility for just one artist!
I cried tears of joy the day Barack Obama became president of the United States and thought that at last things would change and in many respects they did, but look where we are now! We can NOT have outright racists running the world be that in the UK, USA or anywhere else on this globe we call home and sadly until that changes not much else will.

Look around you, in you studio, in your agents, producers and the art world. You will see that black lives do not matter a jot. Don't pretend they do now.

Isn't that what the whole movement is about, to change people, to change opinions. I don't know him anymore than I know you. I don't know what he was like and what he did or didn't do but the fact he Now sees it as his problem, the fact that he is prepared to put his name, his reputation, his weight behind this movement gives us all hope. This is exactly what is needed. I for one THANK you Banksy.
