Why are the younger generation not wearing poppies?

I wouldn't alwyas attribute a lack of care. In my case, I simply haven't had the opportunity to get one. It doesn't stop me from paying my respects.

You need more than a month?

Elaborate how it’s rubbish.

I didn’t say we need more than a month ffs, cant u ppl read!

“If THE month was given more attention...” or our own symbol, troops get a moment of silence, and black history month is a month dedicated to our whole History, our entire history isn’t comprised of slavery but oh well

So you're upset that soldiers get a minutes silence and blacks get a month?! Pardon me but this would seem slightly odd. I mean given that we're in England and not Africa, nor America for that matter, the fact that African history is given so much attention would seem to be something to be thankful for given that Britain does not have a particularly large segment of its society being black (hence the America reference).
I mean simple maths, not only relative to population but also to Africas importance in the British curriculum vis-a-vis the rest of the world would seem to give it unjust importance, no?

Well your country did enslave my ppl so I’d say yes you owe us some reparations? The USA gives reparations for its Japanese citizens for a reason.....

We don’t get a month for slavery we get one for HISTORY to celebrate the efforts of black ppl and their contributions to society!

But still no emphasis on slavery and the crimes of the British ppl.

Where did you hear ANYONE talk about slavery in October, TELL ME!

As I said previously, Dont give me the argument of we’re in England not Africa, I’m here because centuries ago someone you could even be related to dragged my forefather on a boat against his will so dont give me that.

Thankful? What attention is given to African history?

We have a month but that month isn’t even acknowledged by major societal fanctions or acknowledged...... in class our efforts are whitewashed with the British ethnocentric curriculum,

nobody knows about how the efforts of many black nurses saved the NHS in the 80s, some ppl dont even know

Colombus was a mass murderer.

A large population may not be black but our influence is undeniable!

There’s a reason why one of the biggest social events in the UK every year is Notting Hill carnival, can’t even be bothered to go on.

Troops don’t just get a minute they get poppy appeals and donations, where’s my donations for being a result of slave trade?

We can remember without wearing a Poppy ya know.......

It is very difficult to show respect without the poppy.

Lest we forget

Not really. I have 22 people that agree with me lmao, I’d say I’m in the right.

I’ve seen people wearing poppies giggling through the silence.

The RAF put poppies on a military jet on active operations and then boasted about it on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151254509514885&id=26035834884&set=a.263638134884&refid=13&__tn__=%2B%3E

Respect isn’t about wearing a badge.

You are right because people agree with you?

Not really, particularly given there's a lot of uses of the Poppy that aren't in any way showing respect (my favourite being the idiot wearing one with a swastika tattoo visible, or maybe decorating fighter jets with them, an act that's only second in it's tonedeafness to Nickelback). Not to mention that you don't need everyone else to see that you respect the sacrifices made by the forces in the world wars.
