According to Savva, the true nature of the movement "is becoming increasingly apparent." On his Telegram channel, the bishop wrote, "This is what kind of struggle for human rights? The struggle for who is most important in humanity."
The cleric was reacting to news that the statue of Emperor Constantine the Great, located next to York Cathedral in England, may be taken down due to his links with slavery. Statues around the world began to be removed and demolished during the recent Black Lives Matter protests, sparked by the police murder of unarmed black man George Floyd. Protestors have pulled down monuments to those with a history of racism, such as slave traders and leaders of the Confederacy.
Black Lives Matter is a movement that originated by organizing protests against police brutality towards African Americans in the US. Since then, the campaign has gone worldwide, pushing for equality and the end of institutional racism against minorities.
Bishop Savva is no stranger to commentary on modern culture, especially in regards to religion. In January, he made the news in the West after stating that the Russian Orthodox Church should no longer bless missiles.

Now there's a Christian.
Somehow, I'm confident that if Jesus were around today, he'd not be an official sponsor of "Colt M-4 Carbines."

That said, have you seen this poor female trying to fill her tank up? [Link]
P.s., I do believe it. I.e., I don't think that the guy and GF are world class vocal actors. It has verisimilitude.
As such, I hereby demand that the statue of Kunta Kinte in Annapolis, Maryland, should be torn up and melted down, as he was a member of a race which practiced slavery - the Negroes. And every synagogue should be demolished, as they represent the people who initiated and financed the enslavement of Black Africans. (And promoted slavery in their very own Bible.) Also, every mosque must be blown up, as Mohammed owned slaves and this is used to this very day in the Year of our Lord 2020, by Muslims to jusitfy their continued buying and selling of non-Muslim slaves, for example in Libya, where today's slave trade is mainly in Black African bodies.
While we are at it, after we kill of all the Whites, the Jews, the Blacks, and the Muslims for the sins of their ancestors and down to the present day, we might as well kill off the Chinese, as a preventative measure to make sure they do not enslave any more peoples, as they have done with the Tibetans.
Justice will only be finally served when the human species is extinct on this planet.
