Anybody else get a roque page called "Speak Up, Speak Out" instead of their soundcloud page?
Maybe I have a bug on my laptop :(

My page seems to be ok @Paulski (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=19241)

Soundcloud are in sympathy with US race protesters today, supporting the worldwide Black community. Fair enough, as it's all got serious.

Did look like a hack though at first sight.

ah yes - looks like it's intentional.
It's funny - looks different when I log in than if visiting the site as visitor.
Thanks guys - I guess I'm paranoid about computer viruses (all viruses I guess.. :) )

Interesting that they would support this without considering that a black guy is 71 times more likely to be murdered by another black guy than the police, this in no way exonerates the police action which is way outa line, but the political correctness that prevents proper discussion is our biggest enemy,
Contrary to the Black Lives Matter narrative, the police have much more to fear from black males than black males have to fear from the police. In 2015, a police officer was 18.5 times more likely to be killed by a black male than an unarmed black male was to be killed by a police officer.
Black males have made up 42 percent of all cop-killers over the last decade, though they are only 6 percent of the population. That 18.5 ratio undoubtedly worsened in 2016, in light of the 53 percent increase in gun murders of officers — committed vastly and disproportionately by black males.

But isn't the point here that when a black American is stopped by the police, they fear for their safety, white males don't. And that is so wrong that something needs to change and don't even start on Trump's latest outburst and him highlighting the 2nd amendment, calling the military as a solution against his own people.
Out of control and out of touch!

Many more white's than black's are being shot by the police in the USA, strangely but typically black people are not bothered when white people are shot by the police...does this make them racist?
if criminals didn't resist arrest they wouldn't get shot, the latest one had to be held down because he was resisting arrest, but the liberal media wont be showing us that bit just like they will not be pointing out that more police are killed by blacks than blacks are killed by police..the police are human and they fear for their lives also...
looting and destruction is not an answer and Trump (who I agree is stupid) does have a responsibility to protect people and property from people who are using this as an excuse to loot and destroy..
