Racism runs much deeper than some criminal police elements that need punishing. Don't get distracted.  Politicians running on anti-immigration, populist agenda's. Facebook, Twitter, Youtube & traditional media who allow their platforms to spread fear, hate and violence for profit. A corporate world largely run by middle aged, privileged white men. Monuments to and fetishization of colonialism rather than its shaming. Religious intolerance. Homophobia. Sexism. The list goes on.  Put your votes in the right place and your time and every €, $ & £ in the right pockets. Never shy away from calling people and organisations out for whatever "ism" or "phobia" they are perpetuating.  2020 is going down in most peoples' history as the worst year ever. I'd prefer to put it down as the year that people stopped, thought and then peacefully fought for a fairer, altruistic and greener future. This song is 50 years old, shamefull we've still got a long way to go
