Ofcom: Demand Ofcom drop the racist complaint against Diversity - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/Lf3lCWNXOn via @UKChange

[BSE4BL @BSE4BL]

Don't forget, Boris "Watermelon Smiles" Johnson says this is not a racist country. We sure seem to be good at acting like one...

[David Lammy @DavidLammy]

In what world is it acceptable to speak to anyone like this while doing their job?

No one in public or private life deserves this despicable abuse.

Poor and dangerous housing is one of the challenges faced by many Black people in this country. Lives have been lost. One would hope lessons had been learned, it seems not.

[Grenfell United @GrenfellUnited]

Outraged that Government & our very own MP @FelicityBuchan voted against amendment to implement #Grenfell recommendations. Its no surprise as the Gov continue to fail the country - almost a year since the recomendations & so little has been done. 1000s still in dangerous homes.

[BSE4BL @BSE4BL]

A well fitting honour for a national treasure, talented Black man and a personal hero to many.

[Professor Benjamin Zephaniah @BZephaniah]

It really is an honour to have such a great building named after me. I've visited the college and met many of the hardworking students and staff, and they were all inspiring. Educate to liberate.

@ISCRE_Official How do we get a seat at the next event?

Took the words right out of my mouth...

[Windrush National Organisation WNO. W.Movement UK @DefendWindrush]

Alesha Dixon has waded into the Britain's Got Talent Black Lives Matter row as complaints yesterday soared past 10,000 – telling trolls: “They can kiss my black a**”. 👏🏿👏🏿

If you have never heard of code-switching, educate yourself about how ethnically diverse communities hide themselves to get by.

[Gigante The Terror Rebel @Gigante_TTR]

Absolutely brilliant program on code-switching and it's cost

[BSE4BL @BSE4BL]

It's easy to forget to self care as an activist. There's a reason why on planes they tell you to put your O2 mask on before your child. You're no help to anyone if you're out of the picture. #selfcare #BLMUK #bse4bl

[BSE4BL @BSE4BL]

Given what we know about the disproportionate effect on communities of colour, this is very worrying...

Meanwhile Police in the US remain deaf to protest...

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

Wow. This Black man was shot several times in the back by @KenoshaPolice today. He was getting into his car after apparently breaking up a fight between two women. He’s in critical condition now. We demand JUSTICE! #BlackLivesMatter

[Kehinde Andrews @kehinde_andrews]

If dropping racist propaganda from taxpayer funded TV is 'controversial' then there is no hope for the serious work that needs to be done to address racism
