A version of BLM has emerged in the UK that has white members. Some of them were recently arrested after protesting at an airport in London on the grounds that "global warming is racist". That may or may not be true but personally, if I was a black person living in London right now, I could come up with plenty of things that're more racist than a depleted o-zone layer. But then I think Black lives actually matter far less to BLM-UK than their name suggests. Otherwise they'd do more to tackle actual issues that're really affecting them. Needless to say not one of those protesting at the airport was actually black.
