Ok I know barely anyone will see this but I don& #39;t care. hi, I am Mason and half black and I am from the UK. the statement "The UK is not as bad as the USA" is absolute bullshit why? Here in the UK are history lessons are whitewashed. We get a five-minute powerpoint about

Black History Month and then it is forgotten about. We hide the fact that innocent black men and women are dying in our streets because "it is not important" well listen here. It is important! Racism is still apparent in our schools, I hear people say to others

"Go back where you came from". I have heard every stereotype under the sun for being black, I have heard people say to me "You& #39;re not really black are you?" I am, sure I don& #39;t fit the conventions as I grew up in South London and I have a white mother. I have been asked to say

N-word to prove I am "black enough" and I am sick and tired of people undermining people based upon the colour of their skin. No child is born racist, it is taught to them. I grew up hearing "you can& #39;t hang out with us because you are not white". People need to understand

the colour of my skin should not mean my opportunities need to be altered. The fact I have an African surname should not be the deciding fact on a career because I worked as hard as those white people but I don& #39;t get the job. Because I am black piss off. I just want to be

treated fairly like all the people in this thread https://twitter.com/illh0eminati/status/1266441604170223617?s=20">https://twitter.com/illh0emin... should have been. Yes I am young but I see this because I have seen it and experienced it myself
