You know once I was told that whites are actually a protected category with a smiley face in response to my smiley face. Equality act 2010 is for those whose lives are substantially at detriment in the long-term as a result of their protected characteristic. White privilege means anyone who is white is already protected by the system of privilege hence the need for the creation for the equality act in the first place

Racism bolsters white peoples life chances. It affords an unearned power. It is designed to maintain a quiet (erm) dominance.

“The longer a child is in care (without love and family love basically), the more likely it is that they will develop attachment problems later in life. So finding a good family fit with speed is critical.” May Allah (SWT) deal with those who harm those who did not have love or limited love growing up and shame them and punish them for their attachment issues and dependence. It is a privilege to be loved.

Any organisation/company that does surveillance is essentially “ban the burqa”. It’s Islamophobic bc it means Muslims can’t cover/is pointless bc they’re ’never fully dressed’ bc they’re being watched naked at times. Shame on all those who work in such organisations, once they know + stay, it is haram? I left a role bc of this aspect. All Muslims, anyone who believes in dignity should work elsewhere.

Martin Luther King’s speech was misused in this example to mean to say that to not judge based on skin colour as don’t judge white people, don’t judge the power of whiteness. Martin said the great stumbling block is the devoted to “order” than justice. As in the white order, even justice can be distorted to conceal protection of whiteness. I was making dua of the oppressed potentially 1

So they scapegoated to get the attention off them. That’s like you speaking about SA and then they started redirecting and playing divide and rule (hide behind non white communities). Have noticed how much is levelled considering the same level of anger isn’t directed at others. It’s so obviously scapegoated to get the attention away from the white people who murdered. Like redirecting attention in heart art.

“You’re never sure when a conversation about race and racism will turn into one where you were scared for your physical safety or social position. White privilege is a manipulative, suffocating blanket of power. It’s brutal and oppressive, bullying you into not speaking up.”

So true, at the time of writing only one black football manager in the premier league. When they started talking about NFL and their attempts to recruit black managers, I tried to think of black managers in English premier league, I couldn’t think of any.

Findings that black men are more at risk of being sectioned against will and admitted to psychiatric hospitals under compulsory powers of mental health act. This can be for any race and for anyone who upsets privileged people. This is why elders said don’t go near them, they’re just using it as excuse one day to kill you and blame it on mental health if they ever need to. It’s always been white violence on us.

They can store your DNA illegitimately on databases as well by the way with fingerprints. Mine was taken for the first time ever travelling this year, before it had never happened. How uncivilised.

Re Stephen Lawrence, his mother is absolutely right when it’s said racist murderers are still free and that these boys, the killers, are still *protected*.

“White privilege is deviously, keelingly, clever, because it owns the companies that recruit you, own the industries you want to enter, so that if you need money to live you’re forced to appease its needs. It eases you into letting your guard down with white people, assured that you’ll be taken seriously, but simultaneously not being surprised when a conversation highlights your difference against your white peers.” It’s an even bigger betrayal when your own community, your own people have hurt you, then hand you over just like that to such people. They just as good did it.
