Professor Arday had kind eyes.

Was what I thought when I saw his face at first.

Then I read about the times he'd helped others.

And I knew his eyes hadn't lied.

Like a bright red apple, brimming with life.

The media maggots couldn't resist.

Tiny, white, putrid,

They writhed, wriggled and wrote their newspapers

hoping to take a bite before the others.

Their slimy, shaking bodies taking bites

Out of a gentle man with kind eyes.

Media maggots can't resist,

They need to feast,

Need to eat,

Desperate, hungry for meals,

They look for brown bodies,

To feed their itch.

first I remember was at age 8

These are the mechanisms that hide in plain sight amidst the quasi-blindness of the mainstream commentators and press coverage. We have a system that has been built centuries that extracts your labour and credit as long as it’s at no cost to the people doing the extracting. In this case that system generated vulnerability and drove another Black man to premature death. The moment the extraction stops being free is the moment you are thrown to the dogs.

Any of one of BAME could have told you that Farage was a corrupt man 10 years ago. Hell, 15 years ago.

How did we know? Because a man who makes a political career off bullying the most vulnerable members in society is a man willing to steep to the lowest of lows for money.

So when I found out Farage received a £5 million pounds donation from a Thai Crypto Billionaire, I wasn't shocked.

When I found out Farage was getting gifts from convicted felon George Cottrell I was not surprised.

I think the only people who are shocked are people who were never targeted by him, so would not understand that his nature is to be a duplicitous cockroach.

I guess the rest of the UK is just playing catch up to us.

It's time.

We've faced too many attacks.

Our communities are being targeted by violent racists.

We need to mobilise and organise to protect ourselves.

The alternative is being firebombed, knifed in the streets, physically assaulted in silence. That is no alternative.

The Revolutionary Communist Party is explicitly anti racist and have stood in front of hotels housing vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers to protect them from far right mobs.

I'm thinking of joining them - what about you guys?

Hey everyone, so sorry if self-promotion isn't usually allowed here feel free to ignore if so! 🙏

I'm a student at LSE finishing my Masters dissertation and I'm studying the treatment of Black and Asian patients in NHS. It's something I feel really passionately about and your perspectives would mean so much to my research.

If you have 6 minutes to spare, I'd genuinely love for you to complete my survey , there's also a prize draw to win 1 of 2 £20 Amazon vouchers as a little thank you! 🎁

Thank you very much.

Every day our communities are threatened by far right terrorists.

A black nurse in Belfast had her house set on fire, she was a mother and lost the last 3 letters from her children in the burning building.

A brown imam in Manchester had his house firebombed while he was inside it.

A brown Sikh woman was raped in a racially motivated attack.

The horrors persist.

But so do we.

We need to organise and protect ourselves like the Black Panthers did in the 60s in America. We need to be in this together.

No justice will be brought to us until we bring it to them.

If you are a BAME person, stand tall, stand strong, we will not let the racists destroy us.

Look after your family. Look after your friends. Stand tall brothers, sisters and non-binary friends ❤️

POV: You have no critical thinking and job applications scare you

There are like 2 UK subreddits that aren't racist as fuck. It's this one and green and pleasant. The others are absolutely rancid because so much of the online UK population are rancid racist fucks.

I'm just trying to scroll and relax and wham I get a random "I hate Indians" comment.

Like K thanks I'm probably hotter than u anyway so keep seething?

I want to make a petition to make it possible for me to mute every single UK sub so I don't have to see brain dead gammon posts in my feed just because my IP address is in the UK.

Why must we suffer these idiots.

He has a Turkish great-grandfather

Do you think the path to better conditions for all regardless of ethnicity is solidarity in material interests and trade unions?

I am divided by how I feel about what he says, since I think pragmatically he is correct, but in principle it feels like overlooking discrimination - what do yo uthink?
