The Media Does It Again

Once again the media does what it does best. Making black people look like the aggressor.

Malcolm X once said:

"The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” - Malcolm X

This video from Sky News is a clear example of why Black people do not trust the news and the narrative they try to put out.

If you've been online you would have seen the videos of racist white devils making racist gestures and attacking the police as well as making racially-provoking actions towards black people.

They came to London following a video from Tommy Robinson calling for all his "Friends" to attend to protect the statues that were being targeted - Statues of people that encouraged the slave trade and racism. 

Tommy who conveniently chickened out and did not attend, wanted to start trouble but he ended up sending his "Friends" to London so that they could get their asses beat, because that's exactly what happened and now the media are making them out to be the victim.

We have to be careful when we think certain brands are supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, they're just protecting their brand.

Racist Confrontation in Coventry

A group of over twenty white people have been filmed chasing and throwing objects at two black males in Coventry.

The group were heard chanting, "Go Home! Go Home!" Which is the racist's common mantra.

The incident is said to have been caused by the two young black men; as they had brandished a knife at the group of white men.

This story sounds very unbelievable. These boys would be stupid to pull out a knife and use it to threaten the group without any provocation.

Although the "rumour" is that the black boys had a knife, in the video you can see ONLY one of the white boys actually holding what appears to be a knife. This is said to have been the knife that one of the black boys had and had put in a bin.

"Why is the boy holding the knife in such a threatening way, in front of the police?"

Is that a knife in his hand?

The white group member actually approaches the police with the knife, but rather than being arrested the person is allowed to walk away with the knife still in his hand and continue directing comments towards the black boys, who are now being spoken to by the police, with one being placed in handcuffs.

Do Black lives Matter In The UK?

When you hear us chant, "Black Lives Matter" this doesn't just start and stop with the police.

This also includes, the schools, the colleges and universities, the media, the music & television industry, the brands; and society as a whole.

All of these establishments systemically perpetuate the racial bias we see on a regular basis and they have the nerve to post pictures and comments talking about, Hashtag BlackLivesMatter.

"Did Black lives matter when the music industry took music such as Hip Hop and R&B  and decided it was okay to group them into a category which the call, 'Urban'?"

The term 'Urban' was created by music executives and the radio industry to make black music sound more appealing to advertisers and listeners.

"Is the term also used to make it easier for white people to
say comments like this without feeling that they are offending anyone?"

The Black Lives Matter Movement Is In Full Effect In The UK

Following the police-related death of George Floyd in America on, 25th May 2020, the UK people have taken to the streets and used this as a trigger to highlight the unfair, systematic and institutional racism aimed towards the black people here in the UK.

George Floyd

I've always been very vocal about the Black Lives Matter movement; as well as how differently black people are treated in the UK to white people and I've had to go back and forth with a few racist and ignorant-ass people on social media who needed to be educated on what the word 'Racism' actually means.

RACISM: "Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior"

"What do people not understand? Black people have been made to feel that their race is beneath the white race, as to why the black people were slaves and not the white people."

I've been wanting to write a post for a minute now but I've just been so pissed with everything I have been seeing.

From the treatment of the protesters in the US to the racist comments being made by some white people on Twitter - it's getting to me.
