Hamilton never started something though he's had a platform and a voice for years.

He joined something when it came in vogue

Hmmmmm

 

I'm afraid that is far too simplistic a view and one which really needs to be informed by a greater understanding of what may have happened the LH over a number of years. He may feel that he is now in a strong enough position to say something where previously he was not.

 

Let's face it, how many black F1 drivers do we see, even now ???

I disagree - someone speaking out about racism in general or personal experiences throughout life would surely have support from someone like Mercedes - why would he not be supported?

 

He didn't have to point a finger at anyone but what he did do was chose to remain silent . . . . until now

Because black/brown people have been 'sat on' for far too long. Good on them that they've found their voices. I say again.....why should the colour of someone's skin matter?

Tis interesting though that I have never seen Chinese or Pakistani minorities rioting or attacking the Police or wandering the street in gangs to attack other gangs

 

I understand the reasons for this are complex and way beyond me ... but still very interesting

Also the "black community" makes up 3% of the National population ... i was astounded at that
