A sociologist conducted a research paper for the police college + collected some racist essays written by cadets He refused to hand it over when asked. Sadly, these days, organisations you work for can take it to remove evidence within, if you have documents, receipts, etc. He left the organisation because he would be colluding. A scholar said that if you remain with people who are oppressing, you become like them.

“The denial of civil liberties are meant, in the main, to be hidden from public view”. Regarding policing. A few months ago, i had gone to the police station, I was told by front desk I’ll be seen shortly. Then a woman took over front desk, a mock play happened where people approached with issues that weren’t criminal at all, where she directed them all away instead of hearing them. The ordinary process is 1

The police beating up people then lying and charging people with the offences that they themselves actually committed is so… abuse of power. Absolute abuse of power because they control and record the evidence. News, media, etc, this is always a reminder how with ability and influence, history can be rewritten and even harm done is projected and villain to victim done by those who have enforcement power.

In 1972, 4 young black men, who also happened to be members of a radical black organisation, were imprisoned for 2 years each, while having no stolen items on them + maintained their innocence. They were released a year early. My Prophet (SAWS) would have addressed the issue of radicalisation & not falsely imprisoned. I’d gather Jesus, Isa (AS), who healed people, would not approve of this either.

In 1998, a law, I believe, was said to be abolished, however, it remains in effect, particularly wielded by white people against a non white person. With it being illegitimately applying sharia law having engineered the situation on a disabled person to hand over responsibility to sharia law instead, while, in actuality, it originated from historic barbaric practices.

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.

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.

He turned whistleblower, eastern eye focused on his findings. If it had not been a police college and his frustration at the discrimination was visible, he might not have been safe for having spoken out given it is the police force and therefore this is significant whistleblowing otherwise.
