Black Lives Matter Protest Held in Seoul
The BLM protests have spread even to South Korea:
A group of activists held a rally in central Seoul on Saturday to voice their support for the anti-racism movement in the United States that flared up after the death of George Floyd.

Some 100 people participated in the rally, which was held in Myeongdong, central Seoul. Clad in black, they later marched toward Cheonggye Stream, with some holding pickets reading “Black Lives Matter.”
The rally was organized to support the BLM movement that has been spreading across the U.S. and around the world following the death of Floyd, a black American, at the hands of a white police officer.

Really? As racist and xenophobic as most Koreans are they held a rally for BLM?
Doc, leftist apparatchiks only know how to virtue signal.
And it won’t save their businesses from BLM or Antifa.
“Really? As racist and xenophobic as most Koreans are they held a rally for BLM?”
An ironic thing to say considering that it was a white American cop who murdered that black man by sitting on his neck for 10 minutes. For that Koreans are the ones racist… lol..
There was a Kimsoft article some years ago decrying the Black GIs wandering around Itaewon wearing NFL gear. It was so stereotypical even the felliws from Alabama laughed at it.
The Nork author claimed NFL stood for N***** For Life. Like Gang Colors. Nothing racist about that, eh? Let’s get the waygun to fight each other instead of defending the ROK from Pyongyang…
All waygooks in that “unsullied land of dreams” are seen as something less than saram… maybe not even nom… and are ranked from best to worst by skin pigmentation… or at least among certain people. Mostly on the left. People who would have gladly taken jobs in the Japanese or Chinese secret police.
The Minnesota cops (there were four) were arested and charged with murder. Meanwhile, Korean authorities don’t even prosecute politicians who take bribes or tamper with elections, unless they’re in the wrong political party.
But South Korea’s blatent corruption is the yawn-inducing product of rank amateurs compared to Beijing. Or most other nations in the UN. They show their care of the comfort women by not just cheating them out of donations and making them relive their nightmares; but also allowing room salons, love hotels, glass-houses, and those special barbershops and tea-houses. No one except journalists on the left’s payroll ckaim not to know what’s clustered around every train station, bus stop, and military base.
China, on the other hand, is killing off literally millions of their own people with COVID-19, imprisoning people who hold the wrong religion, and buying two-bit clowns willing to spew falsehoods and division all over the interwebs. And everyone who tried to talk about it has disappeared, many to reappear at room temperature.
China is also slitting their own throat, economically, by killing off Hong Kong because free thinking and free enterprise are to communism like sunlight or holy water to a vampire in a bad old horror picture…
Buy me seasonally-appropriate beverage and I will tell you (offline) what I really think.
Ah yes, the country who for years had a comedian dressed up in blackface called “shikamuns” (a derogatory term meaning dirty/black, reminiscent of the minstrel shows of late 19th and early 20th century America) now suddenly has a conscience and marches in support of blacks. I’ll believe that when reunification happens.
It’s a sparse crowd and they don’t even look like they believe in what they’re marching for. Seen more aggression at a Korean department store sale.
And I would venture to guess most don’t even know who MLK is.
Or Rosa Parks, or Rodney King. “Who?”
A permit was actually issued for this.
Haven’t the Koreans been watching the news? Have they not noticed what happens when you encourage the BLMers to get in a group?
Shocked they allowed this.
…or maybe it was a honeypot?
Maybe they identified the participants and informed immigration who needs to be deported for illegally engaging in political activity.
That would be elegant.
CH, you definitely have an Oriental mind…
Ah-so… ChickenHead say when mosquito land on tèsticles, even bad man finds he can solve problem without violence.
In a country of 50 million, there are bound to be a few hundred “woke” people. Also a good chunk of that crowd was likely foreigners. That looks like one up front in the photo.
It’s worth noting that the other 3 police were Black, Hispanic, and Asian (Hmong).
There will be a candlelight vigil for George Floyd on Thursday night at USAG Humphreys. At least we won’t have to worry about riots and looting on base, lol.
I’m glad to see so much attention for our national hero, George Floyd. It takes an exceptional man to score drugs by jamming a pistol in a pregnant woman’s belly. It is wonderful to see servicemembers have their priorities and values well managed. Everyone there should get an automatic promotion to reward their good judgement.
By the way, did anyone notice that dirtbag Elon Musk just begin the era of accessible space exploration? America was never great.
