In Notting Hill, 1958, white people were arrested (not unequal in that sense) for racist attacks. But it was downplayed as ‘hooliganism’ by both parties and the original source ignored. This continues today in news publications, some which are noted for their lack of impartiality. My Prophet (SAWS), I feel, would have noted the source to be able to address the underlying issue to cultivate good race relations.

A boycott of bus services led to the dissolution of disqualifying black people from being recruited into the bus industry. That’s wonderful. People working together to create meaningful changes. Peaceful resistance through boycotting bus services. In autobiography of Malcolm X, he spoke about how everyone lined up to free a person or stop a person from being harmed. The act of collective peaceful resistance worked.

Stationed in India, yk. Then picking up + disposing of black + brown people at its own convenience. This 1st happened in response to race riots where repatriation drives were the response. If done today or future, anyone indignant would leave using their white privilege for good. The race relations board created to hear complaints but existed for posturing purposes. Most black + Asian people didn’t know about it.

Acts of discrimination under the race relations act 1965 was said to include an unreasonable delay in serving someone, overcharging, etc. Last year, a staff at a fish + chips shop made fun of me for lip reading, instead of being discouraged from disability discrimination, this year, they were made to overcharge me as retaliation from others. She was smiling so much. That’s both race + disability discrimination.

At any time, due to retaliation, inability to address own racism, peoples citizenship + movement can be affected even if you’re born here. It’s just as much ours as theirs. We’re supposed to be protected, especially the sick + disabled, not weaken or justify absence of protections. Equality Act 2010 was made for us.

This passage makes me think how if I was white, maybe something would have been done about me being raped. It is known it happened by those who can do something but encouraged rapist to ‘clean up mess’ + perjwos wipes were perhaps an allusion (25) to his girl, I’m fearing retaliation. My Prophet (SAWS) + the sahabah’s, it is said that they gathered together to find the rapist to address what had happened.

“No blacks, no dogs, no Irish” exacerbated poor race relations. Such dehumanising language. Dog is still used today for non white people, a giveaway for racism. This would not be used for white people unless to communicate coordinated dehumanisation - last year Sabrina Carpenter’s mans best friend cover) + Taylor Swift with variations of the word dog for Charli. This is not the way to talk about anyone ever.

Last year, I said rickety on socials. In ballad for Sophie it mentioned tuberculosis. Cold emoji likes on socials. On this page it says rickety, tuberculosis, cold + ‘frozen shoulders’ elsewhere, Adrienne. Black white, mixed. Retaliation for making them look ‘bad’ using nhs to commit medical crimes. So messed up. Saying harming disabled person to save other disabled people, erm, EQUALITY ACT.

Not informing people of their rights and processes feels a little like racism, the negligence involved, even if it’s from a non white person, probably wouldn’t have dared to be done to a white person who’s asking, maybe they’d behave much differently.

Liverpudlians had publicly and violently lynched a black person in 1919. This stuff makes me so angry.

Sophia There might be some who wanted to deescalate by saying it’s not race, but this means racism continues while concrete efforts to eradicate racism are not perhaps simultaneously pursued.
