As I explain in my book Fatal Invention & my TEDtalk, the under-treatment of Black patients for pain is not just about individual physician bias. It’s systematically caused by race-based medicine that’s wrongly focused on innate racial differences & reinforces racist stereotypes.

Again what is ‘traditional working class?’. More people migrated to Britain from Poland, Italy, Ireland and Germany after the war than Caribbean and India... so who is ‘traditional’ and on what grounds? Say it with your whole chest big man 👊🏾

Jesus that Dawn Butler article is harrowing. But yeah, keep telling me how the oppressed and silenced people are literal billionaires and racist newspaper columnists. https://t.co/pFClTKMErq

Birmingham City Council: Remove all statues and the rename all buildings, in Birmingham (UK) which
immortalise those linked to the slave trade or British colonial history and tackle structural racism in our city. - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/D0l7g137iY via @UKChange
