Protesters Destroy The Statue Of King Leopold II In Belgium by Davabhz: 10:21am On Jun 05, 2020

On Tuesday, a bust of previous Belgian King Leopold II was damaged in the Flemish city of Ghent, with red paint representing blood and a message alluding to the passing of George Floyd in the United States.

The face of Leopold II statue who killed over 10 million Congolese was covered with a canvas with the message “I can’t breathe,” the final words of George Floyd, the black man who passed away after a white cop put his knee on his neck for quite a long time in the United States a week ago, bringing about fights against police brutality over the world.




The sculptures of Leopold II all through Belgium have been the subject of investigation a few times previously, with numerous adversaries needing them all evacuated. On Monday, an appeal was propelled to expel all sculptures in his respect from the City of Brussels.

Under Leopold II’s provincial system, a huge number of Congolese individuals kicked the bucket. Absence of dependable sources have made it hard to frame an exact estimation, however present day gauges go from 1 million to 15 million. As of late, an agreement of around 10 million deaths has been reached among history specialists.

Eeehh!! Look at this one. You better work hard and seek favor so you won't be a victim of racism, instead of raining curses on someone who is dead even before your own generation.

Nobody will take skin color as an excuse for failure. Obama is black and he was POTUS

Leopold was one of the most evil human to ever trespass the planet earth.

Leopold is 20 times worst than Hitler but because his crimes was against the black race, the world did not see it as a crime against humanity.

human race has been so unfair to the black race.

The hands you see those people holding are the hands of their children cut by leopold soldiers and given to their parents as punishment for disobeying instructions.

If humans could resurrect him today complete with all his memories he’ll see no wrong in the atrocities he committed. It’s like the bullies from high school: they were never wrong in their eyes, it was always you who had the problem.
