Indian sepoys were told if they fought in the First World War they would be fighting for India’s freedom. Even the highest ranking sepoy ranked lower than the lowest ranking white soldier. Their stay at the hospital, segregated, was surrounded by barbed wire so they couldn’t mixed with locals. 74,000 sepoys died fighting in the war, but they were not granted freedom. That’s treachery.

Did you know insurance can be introduced to get Muslims out of a company as it’s simply business, maybe done temporarily but the goal is to get Muslims out which when you do this knowing you have Muslims on your team, it is outright religious discrimination and if you’ve known they take it seriously, then it’s a hate crime.

So gross when white people disenfranchise someone when there was a chance/chances not to and essentially make a non white person a modern slave. Please if you are ever in positions of power do not hand of your own people from your own community to such people, do not choose your own gain, ambition, desire or whatever at the expense of vulnerable people in your own community. That’s basically murder.

In northanger abbey, Catherine talks about how central England + England as a whole would never murder because it’s a Christian country, but it was written in 1790’s + the slave trade was going on in Britain since 1562 + Liverpool was the biggest slave port. I would say cognitive dissonance or integrity didn’t extend to their treatment of black people. Either that or it’s rewriting history.

“Whether racism was discrimination or discrimination plus power, being in the position to negatively affect other people’s life chances”. You come across some white people in such positions who can fatally harm you, you feel something is wrong, trust me, just get out.

Liverpool’s was the biggest slave port, how sad is that. Since 7th century, my Prophet (SAWS) said to free slaves.

“Every voice raised against racism chips away at its power”. Remember our Prophet (SAWS) said there is no superiority in race 🤍

People of colour, non white, I don’t really personally adhere to the semantic part for this terminology. I remember a few months ago someone tried to, definitely a paid post, say the word disabled is bad which is a reach, but the whole point is that disabled people are referred to as disabled, it gets the most reach so trying to assign another term is to try + limit reach. It was obviously illogical + manipulation.

She talks about how ‘nice white people’ are used as shields, which you do see ‘what about this person? If you speak, this nice white person could’, but they are just shields, instead of just listening + making changes.
