@ShelaghFogarty I’m sure this young mans mum was on your show earlier this year; I remember hearing her heartbreak talking about. Please can you help share this further?
This government’s response to demonstrations against racism is to delay a report that could save BAME lives? This is disgusting. Release the damn report.
@PatriotOwl@_diyahhh @joonhottie_ @ISASaxonists @melodyMcooper That you can walk out of your front door without fear of police brutality. There’s lots of really enlightening books around white fragility and white supremacy, which I would highly recommend reading; I got mine from Amazon.
@PatriotOwl @joonhottie_ @ISASaxonists @melodyMcooper And you can’t see the white privilege in that story? White people being given jobs over black people 🤔
@PatriotOwl @joonhottie_ @ISASaxonists @melodyMcooper White women are 100% privileged. As an example, in the U.K., black women are 5 times more likely to die in childbirth compared to white women. I don’t know what it is in the US, but sadly, I suspect it is very similar.
This continuous battle to prove racism is in our every day lives when it's plain as day is exhausting. We can ask what-ifs all day long abt Christian Cooper, but one we should be asking is what if #AmyCooper just hadn't been racist? Racism doesn't always wear a wyte hood 9/9
@ISASaxonists Absolutely no excuse for what she did and the potential harm that she put this young mans life in is unforgivable. No one should be subjected to what this vile woman did; it must stop; white people need to do better, need call this out for what it is, racism!
White Moms/Dads, if you aren't actively teaching your kids how racist this world is & teaching them (and yourselves) how to be #antiracist you best start now.
Don't be part of the problem. The world will never heal with Amy Cooper's in charge. Start with this thread. 👇🏾
Please, please, please can one of the journos say to him, "But...having a small child not at school, and one parent being ill...in a pandemic...is *not* exceptional circumstances. It's really fucking unexceptional."
