"The United Kingdom is innocent," was one of the protest-rallying cries

Black People were also More Than .

Dr. Joseph Salisbury Says , it has sometimes mobilize difficult-to-UK protesters in The Past . "The UK likes to think of themselves as much less racist than The United States," he Says .

But , he Says , the abuse on video, a powerful factor of Motivation were recorded. "It is a little more sport, and more urgently, what is happening in This Time . "

2. Deaths in the custody of The Police

Since 1990, it 1,743 People in England and Wales who died were investigation, after contact with The Police , according to The Charity .

As a proportion of the population in these countries, and the power, or the restraint is More Than twice as likely to be involved in the death.

And Ken Fero, a spokesman for The United friends and families campaign provides for those whose family members died after contact with The Police , there is increasing evidence That this is a story of deaths in prison, motivating the protesters.

"When Ordinary People start to talk about it, tweet about it, protested about it, to talk when celebrities start using it, if People have a voice, and not the politicians, are talking about - this is what gives them hope," Mr. Fero said the election campaign-families.

3. Coronavirus has said divides the community

protesters, these two "lethal pandemics" - Racism and coronavirus - Must be addressed together, since the data has shown Black Brits in England and Wales with the disease as White People .

The government review of the effects of coronavirus on ethnic minorities, told a similar story, the forward will roll from social and economic inequalities, poverty, crowded housing, used in lower-paid or key workers, as factors for this mismatch.

4. Education About Britain 's colonial past,

Even before the UK had a Black Lives matter movement, she had the Rhodes have to the fall campaign. Inspired by similar movements in South Africa , it tries to remove, to focus on The Statue of Oriel College imperialist patron, Cecil Rhodes , and the reform of the University of Oxford in the resume, less to the white Europeans.

On Sunday, the debate on the symbols of The British colonial past, moved from science to The Streets , as the protesters at The Statue of the slave-dealer Edward Colston moved into Bristol City Centre and threw him in the Harbor.

The Action recalled a similar forced relocation of demonstrators to the Confederate memorials in the U.S. States such as North Carolina and Georgia .

The Statue of Edward Colston was rolled through The Streets on The Way to the port

Kehinde Andrews , a professor of Black studies at Birmingham City University, suggests That The Movement may have played in the success in increasing support from White People a role in the removal of the Colston statue.

"cracks If you look at who is The Statue , it was mostly white protesters. You can it with things we don't," Says us likely.

"If you have a majority of Black protest, not tearing down a statue like That , I'm not sure what the answer is - by The Police , let alone the media. "

5. The Windrush scandal damaged trust in the authority

If Black Lives matter began in the UK in 2016, Patrick Vernon Says it was a youth-led movement was not taken very seriously by the older Black People .

The Movement began in protest against The Police killings were of Black People in The United States, The United Kingdom, as a coalition of Black activists opposing unjust of The Police and other forms of Racism .

in The Next two years, Mr Vernon Says , the elderly, which changed their opinion.

First, the Grenfell Tower was set on fire in the year 2017, which led to the death of 72 People , many of them Black and Asian, in the midst of allegations of official neglect. Then, the Windrush scandal was created in the year 2018, said with thousands of People from the Commonwealth countries in The Caribbean and in Africa all wrong and you were in the UK illegally.

Mr. Vernon, a mouthpiece for the Windrush victims, said the People lost their homes, their jobs and were deported after a "traumatic effect".

"It raises the vexing question, are we British? We are really British? Are we valued? Is estimated our contribution in This Country ? The whole Black Lives matter, which is crystallized," he Says .

Black Lives matter is an increasingly multi-generational protest in the UK, some

to say This series of questions, the Black communities has made the People more willing to and to demonstrate, Mr Vernon suggests.

"you are now activists because they are fighting for their rights to stay in This Country or for their compensation," he Says .

"you don't want to take action, because the current democratic process works for People . "
