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.

I notice the usual pitchforkers are out regarding Kate Osamor. What is it about black, female MP's that they don't like? I wonder.
I can’t believe @UKLabour literally gifted #Farage this victory. Black and Muslim communites all over the country need to be on high alert. This will reinvigorate racists.
@sashasaidsumwe are grown ups and I am still seeing “mixed” and “lightskin” in
yall’s bios and @ names
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”
Trump just doubled his lie a day count
day from 11 to 22! Best liar ever! Wind causes cancer and his father was born
in Germany.
Also, he's a raging racist

Noooooo!
Dotun is a legend!!! Surely this has to be over turned. With the EU commission
being 100% white, the EU parliament 98% white and the UK parliament
92% white, we need someone to give the BME perspective.

I get it. You are just one of those people that feel threatened by anyone who is black being more clever than you are...
the way middle aged white women shit on Meghan Markle in the Facebook comment section is so gross why are adults so CHILDISH

@Joy_Villa Ok, this is the result of when a bi- racial person is raised in White Supremacist town & tries to justify the racism and the cast system she's in by going "Far, far away" Dissociation with reality of racial abuse. A complete break with reality #GRAMMYs
#TrumpResign
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.

Terrific piece by @FutbolsaCountry on the racial abuse suffered by Raheem Sterling on the weekend and the ruling elites complicity in legitimising and sanctioning such behaviour.

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.

The kind of people who voted for Trump would literally opt for a shot in the foot as long as the holder of the gun was a privileged white man. They would refuse free ice cream from a black person.

George HW Bush - groped a 16 year old - did NOTHING about the aids crisis - lied to get the U.S. into war - dropped 88,000 tons of bombs - killed Iraqi civilians - voted against civil rights - escalated racist war on drugs Stop canonizing a war criminal, racist, and abuser.

Part 1. HRH #MeghanMarkle is proud of who she is & hoped that by the time that she had her children people would be more open minded to how things are changing, but unfortunately here she's having her first child & not much has changed. For, she's maligned daily b/c of her race

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.

Charitable
to say he's not explicitly a white supremacist. His research degrades people of
colour by examining them for intelligence, criminality and tendencies to
violence and is aimed at creating conditions for their exploitation!

Extraordinary. Almost entirely male, all white,1 in 7 old Etonians and most complicit in the lies that led to this absolute #Brexshit. Time for some real leadership

It’s very true. White British people see themselves as being the norm (as long as we’re not talking about white foreigners) who have a right ‘to be’. Everyone else is inferior, non-white and flawed. We are constantly pumped full of this crap by white people in positions of power

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
