Nazi Holocaust was not the 1st genocide by the German state. In fact, it was not even the first German genocide of the 20th century. 30yrs b4 before Adolf Hitler seized power, German soldiers genocided #Herero and # Namaqua tribesmen of Namibia. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Most Black actors get their hair cut or styled outside of set, often at their own expense because Hollywood hairstylists are one size fit all and that ‘all’ does not include Black hair. This has been my experience for the last 20 years in the business & it hasn’t changed at all.

Black people are more likely to have a rare subgroup called Ro. Ten times more likely than a white person.

[NHS Blood Donation 🩸🩹 @GiveBloodNHS]

It just means people from the same ethnic background are more likely to have the same blood groups.

[NHS Blood Donation 🩸🩹 @GiveBloodNHS]

Everyone’s blood IS NOT the same, so you can stop calling us racist.

[NHS Blood Donation 🩸🩹 @GiveBloodNHS]

First up - blood does the same thing for everyone’s body - it keeps you alive and saves lives. ISSA FACT!

[NHS Blood Donation 🩸🩹 @GiveBloodNHS]

Do black people have ‘special’ blood? Are we being racist? Is race a social construct? 🙄 Let’s break it down.

[NHS Blood Donation 🩸🩹 @GiveBloodNHS]

So, people keep asking - why do we need more black blood donors? Isn’t everyone’s blood the same? You’re racist! ISSA THREAD:
