Banksy - On racism and Black Lives Matter (June 6, 2020)

At first I thought I should just shut up and listen to black people about this issue.

But why would I do that?
It's not their problem. It's mine.

People of colour are being failed by the system. The white system. Like a broken pipe flooding the apartment of the people living downstairs. This faulty system is making their life a misery, but it's not their job to fix it. They can't - no-one will let them in the apartment upstairs.

This is a white problem. And if white people don't fix it, someone will have to come upstairs and kick the door in.
