Fox News has been showing video clips of people protesting on behalf of the "Black Lives Matter" movement in Europe and the UK. Considering that those in "Black Lives Matter" are protesting alleged US racism (an internal issue within the US), why would people in Europe and the UK even care?
Obviously, standing-up for human rights is the appropriate thing to do, wherever it is threatned in the world. Nevertheless, have the people in Europe and the UK demonstrated with equal fervor and solidarity in support of those suffering in such places as China, N. Korea, Russia, Iran, etc.?
Of course, it is possible that people in Europe and the UK have been protesting against human rights abuses in China, N. Korea, Russia, Iran, etc. and that these protests are simply not being reported by the US media. Hence this question.
