christ it’s just occured to me that now we’re allowed to see 6 people again I’m gonna have to actually put together outfits that aren’t just the same joggers and hoodies that I wear for 3 days straight on rotation

Disgusting. I’m tired of this. I’m tired of having disgusting comments made or being publicly harassed. Just voicing my voice amongst the millions of other outraged women.

[Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu @SholaMos1]

This is Misogynist VIOLENCE by the Met Police. DISGRACEFUL conduct against women at a time we feel so vulnerable!

Black/Ethnic minorities been telling you all about excessive use of force by institutionally racist British police - Pay Attention! #SarahEverard #claphamcommon

@paul_yardley @corinne_fowler @Telegraph Yes but this is taking about the UK, and the UK made significant economic and industrial development off of the slave trade, in the Atlantic and American markets. UK individuals continued to invest in the US slave trade long after the abolition in British colonies.

[IZZY @isabelle__R99]

@paul_yardley @corinne_fowler @Telegraph Not to mention the vast amounts of dividends and shares that upper-class British individuals purchased to further their own wealth. Many of these shares were purchased from slavery companies such as the South Sea company and Les Companies Des Indes to name a few.

@paul_yardley @corinne_fowler @Telegraph Saying “I’m guessing” doesn’t constitute a very strong argument- the slave trade was a key part of production of cotton, sugar, tobacco- all industries that helped shape the UK economy. It isn’t “anecdotal evidence,” it’s fact.

My secret fear is that lockdown ends and my life is basically the same.

I've been unfairly targeted, says academic at heart of National Trust 'woke' row | The National Trust | The Guardian.
After working on this project it is truly disheartening to see such a negative response. https://t.co/DuPBpUSL4j

[The Black Curriculum @CurriculumBlack]

This is a different type of post from us, but a necessary one nonetheless.

Here are some of the *real* comments under our interviews about the importance of diverse & inclusive curriculums.

Comments that show more than ever why Black history is needed - everywhere.

[Robert Welsh @Rwlshmakeup]

So @sainsburys (a super market in the UK) released a Christmas advert with a black family, and the comments underneath are horrifying. People that say racism isn’t an issue in the UK, read through these hateful comments.

[IZZY @isabelle__R99]

@SkyNews Blair is politically irrelevant at this point, why is his opinion considered news worthy?

[Robert Welsh @Rwlshmakeup]

@sknperfct I opened a window and it smells like being on holiday so I shut the window again

[IZZY @isabelle__R99]

@savlilzz So proud well done! 💓💓

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

People really need to ask themselves why their communities chose to erect statues to slaveholders instead of abolitionists.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

It's a privilege to learn about
racism instead of experiencing
it your whole life.

[IZZY @isabelle__R99]

@savlilzz Yeah no one moaned when everyone broke the rules for VE Day even when it was broadcast on the news which literally epitomises institutional racism 🙄

[UK BLACK PRIDE @ukblackpride]

UK Black Pride would like to encourage those who care about Black lives to delete their black squares and post useful, helpful, uplifting and empowering information and images that further the #BlackLivesMatter cause.

[IZZY @isabelle__R99]

History students or anyone who has ever studied history please pay attention to this!! @impactomission

Police officer Derek Chauvin charged with murder and manslaughter in killing of George Floyd. And there may be subsequent charges. First step towards justice.
