Adil you are wasting your breath because we will always be the children of immigrants no matter how much we pay into this country
I feel like we don’t talk enough about how closely linked health supremacy and white supremacy are.
There are 15 national parks in the UK. The 10 in England cover 10% of the land area
Only 1% of visitors to UK national parks are from Black, Asian or ethnic minority backgrounds
And, by the way, white media, STOP ASKING "why do you think"
You know. You know damn well. Stop putting the responsibility on someone else to say it. YOU ALL KNOW WHAT YOU JUST SAW.

If your
ancestors weren't slaves then more likely than not they enslaved others.
We're just saying 'two sexes' wasn't universal. That there's only two sexes is a very... white... belief. It's putting our culture's beliefs before any other culture as the 'most correct'.
Even when science says that's bullshit.

So yes, white

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.

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.
