With everything that is on-going in America - everyone needs to remember we are human first. We& #39;re all just ape descendants in shoes- to paraphrase @timminchin #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER #BlackLivesMatterUK 1/6

ALL life matters. If you are thinking "pfft, typical US" then you better believe you couldn& #39;t be more wrong. Try this thread https://twitter.com/illh0eminati/status/1266441604170223617.">https://twitter.com/illh0emin... I& #39;ve seen that some people feel it condescending when a privileged middle aged white man 2/6

gets involved - I& #39;m sorry if you feel that way. I& #39;m just trying to say enough is enough, there is no place for racism in our global society. I am obviously in no position to comment on how this manifests etc. but I sure as hecc can comment that I& #39;m not OK with it. If I can 3/6

aise the profile of the story further into the light I feel I should be doing that. I should be doing that in order to help. Otherwise I& #39;m staying silent and silence effectively becomes acceptance, and I DO NOT accept this. All are equal, regardless of gender, 4/6

exual orientation, colour, beliefs, whether you& #39;re the pm& #39;s chief adviser, whatever groups we put ourselves into... they are equal. 5/6

If I remain silent out of respect for the lost lives and because I am white then like @shanselman is feeling... I& #39;d be overwhelmed, and worse I& #39;d be doing nothing - and that& #39;s not right. #BlackLivesMatterUK #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER 6/6
