BLM - “Go home, Protest back in your countries!”

While participating in last week’s BLM rally in downtown Basel a jerk walked by, yelled into the crowed the n-word and said:

"Go home, Protest back in your countries!"

That's why I was out because I want my family and friends to be treated as equal and to not have to deal with that shit!

The protest, triggered by the death of George Floyd in the US city of Minneapolis last week, was not authorised, but police allowed it to proceed in any case, and it went off peacefully.
