2:06 am
issue of the convoy became highly politicized and i hope that that does not happen again. or despite the humanitarian mission the west quickly suggested the aid column was a russian invasion on the hysteria was found by the mainstream media with headlines such as the comparing the convoy to a trojan horse or artillery units we are political analysts now boyce amalek john investigative journalist neil clark about the accusations. the hypocrisy here is really off the scale isn't it because it seems ok for the western powers to bomb sovereign states for humanitarian reasons but it's not ok for russia the same did a humanitarian aid convoy if russia did invade ukraine we know what about the way the ukraine is we're not going to allow this convoy is pretty clear they're going to find any excuse to stop it from going through and as they were doing they see people being killed and dying in the east of ukraine and that really is outrageous the double standards here this is the pinnacle of hypocrisy there it's clear that
2:07 am
there is no invasion it's clear that the convoy is purely humanitarian and it's clear that the arrival of the convoy has a point underscored to the rest of the world that there is no invasion that the only people suffering here are the peaceful people in eastern ukraine that their own government is trying to murder and that's a problem and so they need to divert attention from this to some sort of hypocritical talk of russian invasion i doubt there would be a european aid coming into that region for them people in donetsk and lugansk there's subhumans there like the prime minister yes said they're not considering these people people they're considering them rebels aggressors russians whatever so they're not going to help them even though by their own rhetoric and by their own values states should but i don't expect that to happen at all. well it's not only ukraine's being left to deal with the consequences of the fighting this is the western ukrainian city of volved where eleven soldiers were buried on tuesday they

2:14 am
a lot of the media people are white they don't know much about what's happening in the black community they tend to buy into a lot of the stereotypes where they don't really have good sources and on the other side a community doesn't have the same level of organization and leadership to challenge that you know when some white defendant you know commits a crime there's a tendency to say well he's such a good boy we can't understand how this could have happened but when a young black man is in the same situation in a community where you know young black people are being criminalized marj numbers this it lack of sympathy and a lack of empathy a lack of compassion a lack of understanding this is a story of how the poor in a way are also being demonized and made invisible in our society it's much deeper than just racial in its outcome you know it may look racial but it's also economic
