I just saw pictures of the tearing down of the slave-traders statue in England. The people who did it were white guys. No blacks in sight. I blame anarchists in both countries. In fact I suspect that all countries have this small minority of people, who just want to insight chaos.
Agreed, and in the US there are anarchists on both sides of the political spectrum, not just Antifa, although is seems to be the Fox News word of the day - wonder why, but also the KKK, Proud Boys, and Boogaloo. Boogaloo is a group often associated with far-right extremist ideology that wants to initiate a civil war. The Boogaloo movement, members of which are often referred to as Boogaloo boys or Boogaloo bois, is a loosely organized American far-right extremist movement. Members of the boogaloo movement say they are preparing for a coming second American Civil War, which they call the "boogaloo". The term is used by members of the group to refer to violent uprisings against the federal government or left-wing political opponents, often anticipated to follow government confiscation of firearms.
