If your ancestors weren't slaves then more likely than not they enslaved others.
So yes, white people. You should literally be ashamed. And you should use that shame, along with your privilege, to be of service to those of us still suffering the consequences of your family’s actions while you still benefit from them.

similar with white privilege - it doesn't mean white people never have
hardship, it means they don't *also* have to worry about
discrimination/systemic issues based on their skin on top of any other problems
they might have.
The BBC's racist agitprop video featured a known Tommy Robinson activist (collected via various tweets).
Time for this institution of white power to die.

Really starting to hate using the term "people of color" Also dislike resorting to the term "non-whites" How white supremacy corrupts language.
talking about racism, the trouble is that it’s hard to give clear examples as most cases are not that clear. an undefined glass ceiling for black people exists in most organisations. As a black woman I definitely have to work twice as hard....
These are the type of people who support Kate Middleton and are hard core #Megxit people. These are the white people I teach my kids to stay far away. #RoyalBaby #BabySussex #MeghanMarkle
White people have done everything to make my life miserable. Yet I'm supposed to not hate white
people?
it's a good thing that Brock Turner was just a privileged white man raping an unconscious woman in an alley and not, say, a black man selling loose cigarettes on a street corner, because there are serious onsequences for that

Dear @sajidjavid it pains me to have to explain this to you, a man of such importance but you did not get invited to the banquet cos you are not white, not one of them. Which is why they will not elect you to be leader. Woke up.

4h Brilliant article by
highlighting how the #COVID19 pandemic can reinforce structures of racial inequality particularly towards BAME communities in areas of healthcare, policing and education.
@aoc
COVID deaths are disproportionately spiking in Black + Brown communities. Why? Because the chronic toll of redlining, environmental racism, wealth gap, etc. ARE underlying health conditions. Inequality is a comorbidity. COVID relief should be drafted with a lens of reparations.

I hope all the medical workers caring for Boris Johnson are straight white men who went to the same schools as he did.
The definition of middle class privilege, but don’t expect them to show any leniency or empathy for the black, minority and white working class communities who have been disproportionately criminalised by their failed war on drugs.
Until EVERY white person sees themselves as complicit in white supremacy, nothing changes. Othering toxic whiteness is what keeps whiteness in place. There is nothing brave about white liberals tweeting their disdain for Trump. Start tweeting about your OWN white supremacy.

White tears and white fears are serious. Don’t let whites scare you and silence you. Just let whites prove your point.
Hi Tom, love you to bits as a broadcaster, but you really are out of touch with this subject. Undoubtedly, the Royal family would have preferred a white lady for Harry albeit they've accepted

Dogs are a tool of white supremacy and gentrification. That’s not just my opinion. There is research that shows how white newcomers dogwalking routes stake out territory. And white owners user their pets to socialize with other white owners excluding minorities.
Soap dispensers that don't work on black skin, driverless cars that are more likely to hit black pedestrians - these are just the tip of the iceberg. Machines are learning how to be racist at an alarming pace: https://metro.co.uk/2020/04/01/race-problem-artificial-intelligence-machines-learning-racist-12478025/#metro-comments-container… #TheStateOfRacism

What we now have is an assortment of English left nationalists, Lexiters, Labour Leavers et al feeling slightly squeamish about the company. Would have been hugely useful if you'd been more squeamish earlier. I'm not going to 'unite' with racists so you can feel better.

The only thing that should follow “i’m not racist, but...” is “I do live in a system of institutionalized racism that I absorb & actively benefit from”

The quiet expulsion of Black Britons from the country. The natural conclusion of normalisation of the anti-immigrant rhetoric that lays behind so much of the Brexit bullshit. #notinmyname
Actually Obama did not. It was White America's reaction to his presidency that reawakened Whites visceral jealousy & hatred of all people who aren't white. They couldn't believe it was a Black man who saved this country from the brink of economic collapse after
Shaniqa absolutely was right and I’m surprised you’re not aware of it. LBC never mentions it if a perportrator of a crime is white. They only mention it when they are black or Muslim. Listen to the report on the news that went out during your show Matt. No mention of White.

I will not support white male candidates in the Dem primary. Unless you slept thru midterms, women were our most successful candidate. Biggest Dem vote getters in history: Obama ‘08, Hillary ‘16. White male is not where our party is at, and is our LEAST safe option in 2020.

Might could be the way we test iQ doesn’t accurately reflect racial differences in intelligence.
First of all, continuing to use #IQ as a metric for #intelligence is dodgy, because the IQ test does have astoundingly #racist origins, and has been used time and time again to propagate horrendous racist and #ableist scholarship.

That a lot of white folks think confronting racism is a good idea until they realize it means taking a long hard look at their privilege.
I've been learning how more ane more about how anti blackness & anti immigrant xenophobia are deeply intertwined. We can't solve either w/out learning how policies & institutions create barriers to access to resources & force marginalized communities to compete for scraps
