It’s frightening how many people think racism isn’t present in the UK. It shows the disgusting privilege + the lack of education of people, but also how desensitised they are to systematic racism every single day. Just bc you don’t experience it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
two great sources of info from @ / florencegiven on Instagram. A few examples of how present institutional racism really is + how white privilege begins the second we wake up in the morning. We arent taught to notice white privilege in our school educations so teach yourself NOW
And finally, purchase @renireni ‘Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race’. Genuinely the most eye opening read. Even if you believe you are pretty clued up, read it - http://renieddolodge.co.uk/books/ ">https://renieddolodge.co.uk/books/&qu...
Moral of this thread, THIS IS OUR PROBLEM TOO. Stop watching these horrific videos + reading the news and sitting back like it’s not our fight to be fought. Racism isn’t exclusive to one place. Start recognising it + use your voice. #BlackLivesMatter https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.thecut.com/amp/2020/05/george-floyd-protests-how-to-help-where-to-donate.html">https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www...
