Golly, funny how the champions of 'white working class boys' and 'class not race' have gone mighty quiet on the A-levels debacle. Leaving us 'race-baiters' to make the case for class.
How is nothing about the protests around the country trending right now?
Every major city is having huge #BlackLivesMatter marches.
This is Nashville 👇🏻
This is horrific. An ordinary man, with no criminal record, driving home perfectly normally but getting his car window smashed in by police who claim to think he is concealing drugs. He is, of course, a black man.
It happened again 6 days later (check tweet above).
I won't speak much but a police car blocked me in when I was parked in the City of London & wanted to search my car for "Class A drugs".
Nothing was found (again) & I got arrested, my window smashed & dragged out my vehicle.
This is what White Privilege looks like - believing everything is OK, and the racism on the TV is a one-off glitch.
The DAILY experience of non-White people tells you different.
I was recruited to conde. I had already held a previous media role at one of the world��s largest media agencies + worked for 3 other publications prior
My white counterparts had no prior relevant experience, just nepotism. Black employees were overqualified + underpaid
I don't know why these images have disappeared from our TLs, but the #BlackLivesMatter protests have not stopped.
Dozens happened around the world today. This is Boston 👇
NONE of the @LMPD officers who murdered Breonna Taylor on March 13th have been fired or charged any crimes. They are all being paid as usual.
(L-R) their names are:
Myles Cosgrove
Jonathan Mattingly
Brett Hankison
Boris Johnson calls black people "piccaninnies".
His party stripped black Windrush Britons of healthcare and housing and deported them.
He conspired to beat up a journalist, and enforces drug laws he broke which disproportionately target black people.
A racist hypocrite.
Lord Mandelson says people responsible for toppling Edward Colston statue in Bristol should be arrested, says “I find mob rule very disturbing ...that’s the law of the jungle, isn’t it?” But he should recognise that the real barbarism was the slave trade itself #BlackLivesMatter
In the uk, it’s fine to be violent and attack the police when you want to “Free Tommy Robinson” a known islamophobic extremist, but don’t you dare go fight systematic oppression and destroy a slave traders statue, because that is disrespectful. Hmm make it make sense.
