I don’t really post on this miserable website anymore. It’s far too depressing. I don’t want to prop up the racism, Islamophobia, homophobia and transphobia which passes for normal conversation on here. DM me if it’s work related. Or better yet, find me on Instagram!
@msavabvidal
I spoke at a corporate event today and they gave out goody bags. I took every single bottle of Mielle’s out of the bags that were designated for white women. I replaced them with bottles of water. And yes, I’m very proud of myself. And I’d do it again. I now own 52 bottles.
And before you all start crying, the BLACK man that booked me thought it was bloody hilarious. And he’s booked me for a staff comedy night. I know how miserable people are on here
Looks like Corbyn is unpopular with and heckled by racist Islamophobes. Whereas Johnson is heckled by members of the public furious that the Tories have decimated public services increasing hardship in their lives.
Yet you equate the two. Quality reporting.
The anti blackness on this app this morning in the name of fighting racism is an absolute joke. There really is no hint of shame at this point when rewriting history. Now Jeremy Corbyn never really cared about apartheid and his fight against it was a fraud? SMH.
Of course they have. They can cure baldness, erectile dysfunction yet every month my uterus tries to kill me dead. Anyone would think they don’t care about women’s health.
I’m so sick of the ‘
@Sistah_Space
only cater for Black women. Isn’t that racist?’ crowd. Apart from the fact charities often cater to a certain group only or concentrate on one specific thing (British Heart Foundation, Childline, Jewish Relief Charity) I’ll speak on this one.
No he doesn’t have a brain injury. This kind of man exists up and down this country. People that look like me have tried to say this for a while now and been scoffed at. They’re particularly emboldened at the moment by the kind of people you frequently platform on your show.
What's going on with
@Joey7Barton
? I just glanced at the Rose West thing, then the
@GNev2
spat, then his attack on Philip Schofield and the ITV reply ... genuinely, is it possible we are dealing with a brain injury here?
I’m so bored of reading the commentariat exclaiming, “We’re seeing a new Corbyn! Where has this Corbyn been for the past 3 years?!”
He’s not changed. You’re finally realising the lies you’ve been telling aren’t landing and only serve to make you look unreliable & irrelevant.
I’m out guys. Given some to a restaurant and have promised to send out 14 bottles. Only I could do something like this and it ends up costing me money 😭😂😆
Everyone uses that photo of Sarah Silverman without the dialogue she used during that scene. She is looking at herself in the mirror blacked up and she said, “Wow I look like Queen Latifah.”
Nobody cares about Black girls. Whether they’re sexually abused or even die. When I understood that, and I mean truly understood that, my life got so much better. There are no exceptions to that btw. People from every demographic will laugh at the abuse of Black girls, even BW.
Some obnoxious white guy made a terror related ‘joke’ to the hijabi on my train earlier and kept calling her Nadia. When I told him he was a twat he responded “Chill out. What are you so angry for? Didn’t you see the Bodyguard? It’s just a joke.”
Tell me again it’s only TV.
I remember being at an event where Corbyn was in attendance and there were some Black South Africans in attendance. They personally came to meet him and thank him for the work he did in the anti apartheid movement. They hugged him and cried. I’d rather listen to them.
A man threw liquid on me and tried to set me on fire saying he voted UKIP to ‘get rid of black bastards like me.’ Even the most conservative POC have felt the change in atmosphere. But yeah let’s talk about the rise in political correctness in the UK post Brexit 🙄
A-level results are in. OMG!!!!! My boy is AMAZING. His sister died just before his exams. We’ve been put through unimaginable hell ever since. He cannot even grief for her. Yet he was determined to pass his exams in her memory. And he did. A-B-B!!!!!! WOW! ❤️🍾🍸
No one can guilt trip me into voting for
@UKLabour
. There is not a single policy that is detrimental to the ‘poor and vulnerable’ that Starmer intends to roll back on. You’re voting for the same thing with an air of respectability around it so you can feel good about yourself.
So that’s why a charity called
@Sistah_Space
exists. It’s not bloody racist to cater for these very specific needs. And the Black people on GBNews know it. They’re from our communities. That’s why calling Sistah Space racist is not only disingenuous. It’s downright sinister. Fin!
A South Asian man, standing behind a lectern that says ‘Stop the Boats’ with a Union Jack to his side. After all the inquiries, reports, marches and riots - this is the equality our parents fought for. The equal right to deport people.
I can’t stop my tears. A beautiful day 😭
We need to put together a thread of John McDonnell’s best put downs. I liked it when a man introduced himself to him as a ‘Sun journalist’ and as quick as a flash he replied, “Make up your mind son. You can’t be both!” 😂
Comparing black women to men is misogynoir but always extra stupid when black men do it. Some of us do look alike cause we are the female versions of you twats. One saw a pic on my account and said “Haha! MYou look like that rugby player!”
Yes I do. Cause he’s my son. Dickhead.
The assumption that Corbyn has had some kind of meeting and encouraged attacks on the black and brown people in Johnson’s cabinet shows just how racist some of you are and you can’t even see it. We have more than a few reasons to be alarmed at these appointments.
YAAAAAAASSSSSSSS!! Some good news. We won the appeal. My son’s final A-level Results are:
A-A-B!!!!!
Despite losing his sister just before his exams my boy put his head down and worked. He’s now at the uni of his choice and rugby training under a former England coach ☺️
I’m not a
@UKLabour
member but even I want Tom Watson to go now. He’s fully taking the piss. He’s so disingenuous and intellectually dishonest and it’s exhausting. It’s actually insulting at this point.
There is an alternative. Jeremy Corbyn is only ‘unelectable’ if you don’t vote Labour. Don’t fall for the MSM trick of making you believe a vote for Labour is a wasted vote. It is not. If you have any friends or family on Universal Credit or 0 hrs contracts you need a Labour govt
There is an alternative to austerity.
There is an alternative to inequality.
There is an alternative to sweetheart trade deals with Donald Trump.
Change is coming.
When a woman is a victim of domestic violence there are often tell tale signs that the police are trained to look out for. One of these things is bruising or injuries. Often these don’t show up on Black skin in the same way. It’s very hard to see especially if you’re dark skinned
If you know anything about the anti apartheid movement you will know how vital the support from other countries was to those on the ground. They helped raise awareness and money. They hosted people like Oliver Tambo who’d escaped imprisonment to let the world know the truth.
She’s 62. You’re acting like she’s Annie and will be leaving 10 Downing Street and moving into an orphanage. And childless?! Have you been hacked by Andrea Leadsom? The woman is happily married and she and her husband made a fortune during her time as PM. You grow up. Sexist pig.
The apartheid regime in South Africa was a very painful episode in history for many black people. The lack of respect shown tells us all we need to know. I don’t care about convincing those responsible but I want black people upset by this to remember who stood with us.
Look at the grief Michael Jackson got for hanging Blanket out of the window. And people are actually debating whether this is ok or not. I hope his wife leaves him.
Yes the whole Caribbean community will be sitting around the table at our Grandparent’s today lamenting the loss of Amber Rudd over our rice and peas and chicken. Oh no we can’t cause they were deported and some of them are now dead.
Those are ‘our views on what has been done.’
Jesus Christ. She’s still banging this drum and refusing to apologise. Both Diane Abbott and Dawn Butler are senior to Yvette Cooper.
@CarolineLucas
is simply gaslighting at this point. She is an embarrassment.
“It’s all white women who voted remain. How can that be a government of national unity?”
@CarolineLucas
says all those she has invited to form an emergency all-female cabinet are in senior positions in their parties, and “all happen to be white”.
When are African Americans going to learn that Black British people are absolutely vicious? You think people raised by Caribbean and African parents and raised on a steady diet of beatings and verbal abuse will be a pushover? Ok good luck with that.
I am going to mute the word golliwog. Cause I can’t be doing with having Richard from Doncaster telling me how he had one when he was a child and they are not offensive at all.
Mary Beard isn’t being silenced. People called her out and there’s a huge difference. Lots of black women called her out. But it seems you have no problem silencing us. Are we not women too? Or are we the wrong kind to illicit any sympathy from you?
Sad that
@wmarybeard
is being trolled off Twitter once again. The tenor of social media debate has to change - and fast - to prevent women being silenced.
#marybeard
As a black child growing up here it was hard to see the images on the TV of black people being so violently brutalised by white people in South Africa. I remember being absolutely terrified as I never felt as displaced as when I would see those people treated like animals.
I’ve had police say to me, “If that man punched you like you’re saying then why can’t we see any marks.” Or they will say, “There’s barely a mark on you. You don’t look as though that man attacked you in the way that you’re saying.”
And then there’s attitude. Always a fun one.
In many Black cultures crying and showing emotion has often been trained out of you. You cry as a kid and you’re asked, “Do you want something to cry for?” Or you’re told to shut up, stop making noise. This isn’t cruelty for no reason. This is inter generational. For protection.
@aChildOf2Worlds
For years this guy fooled us into believing he has sense and since the SuperBowl performance he’s been determined to show us how badly we were fooled. He’s practically boasting right now.
This is so sad. The way trans people broke into his house, held a knife to his throat and forced him to tweet out derogatory things about them every two minutes is disgusting. The way they made his wife leave him and take his kids away. There needs to be a full investigation.
I went to prep school in Sussex. You should be ashamed. Be ashamed how my family used to drive through there being called wogs/n*ggers. Be ashamed at the racism meted out to children. Be ashamed that when I spoke about it your local paper complained to the BBC & called me a liar.
As a Member of Parliament for a Sussex constituency and having been born in Sussex and lived most of my life here I am ashamed that this deeply embarrassing couple bear the title of our great county. It is time to take the title back from someone so clearly lacking any respect
In 10 days time my beautiful daughter would have been 25 years old. May she rest in perfect peace. I was just 17 when I was pregnant with that girl. We grew up together. I have a whole series of announcements to make over the next 10 days. RIP!
I’d hope the black barrister can defend herself. But the trans people she’s whipping up hate against some of whom are also black will continue to face hardship. As I always say if the only time you’re concerned about black people is when discriminating against others drop us out!
@marcusjdl
I remember once being on a news programme and someone said, “Margaret Thatcher said once you get personal you’ve lost the argument.”
I replied “That’s cause she was a cunt.”
During the adverts they suggested that I leave 🤣
We’re also often told to keep our business off the streets. To stay loyal to one another and deal with our issues in house. Why? Because we are often judged as a collective. If one Black family is dysfunctional then it’s not one, it becomes a way of viewing our culture.
Teachers have voted to go out on strike. People are calling them selfish cause kids need to catch up after the pandemic. Do you know who worked throughout the pandemic…teachers.
Pay them properly.
Gay man in a pink jumper being shot in the face. A Muslimah with a rocket launcher. An angry looking shouting black woman. Surprised he didn’t take the opportunity to put a spear in her hand tbh.
I don't particularly agree with
@thugclive
's analysis in his culture wars piece, though some parts are insightful. But this illustration is out of line - me,
@OwenJones84
and
@HackneyAbbott
have all been subject to death threats and racist, misogynist or homophobic harassment.
I used to panic when I was told to ‘go back to Africa’ cause to me that’s what Africa was. I didn’t see the point in leaving a place where I was being abused to a place where I would be treated like that. We saw black children like us attacked. It was genuinely terrifying.
The children of the enslaved were often more strictly controlled by their parents than they were the slave owners when very small. They didn’t want their kids crying or making a lot of noise in case they were whipped, abused, sold never to be see again or worst of all - killed.
I have been away due to a bereavement. I’ve lost my first born baby. I will never be the same. I will never recover. Circumstances since her death defy belief. I can’t even grieve for my child. I am going to get to the truth of what happened
#RIPBabygirl
Why is everyone begging Lib Dems to make a pact with Labour now the Tories and Brexit Party have made one? Stop wasting time and energy. Jo Swinson has repeatedly said she will not work with Labour with Corbyn in charge. Labour’s Brexit policy is the best there is
#VoteLabour
PLEASE SHARE. Black people and Black adjacent people. And allies. The first Black Chancellor
@KwasiKwarteng
has been sacked. This is a call to arms!
#Justice4Kwasi
They don’t just have one Golliwog in that pub — which would be bad enough — but an entire collection. In the Mail’s mind though, they are the victims. They have them on display to provoke and to frighten and any other explanation is bullshit.
My parents who lacked morals in so many ways would insist that we don’t buy or consume anything that came from South Africa. It didn’t matter how hungry I was, there was no way I was touching anything that had that Cape sticker on it. I still double take at SA products now.
When black people say they don’t feel safe in the UK this is why. How is this man not in jail. He physically assaulted a black child and his mother who could have died as a result and he walks free
The people complaining about Mc Donald’s workers earning £31,000 a year for flipping burgers have no qualms watching men earn £300,000 a week kicking a ball around.
Why are right wingers always begging? No one has to sleep with you. No one has to speak to you. And no one has to shake your nasty hand that you use to type racist stories about Meghan Markle. Just do one!
Hugh Grant did a similar thing to me a few years ago at the home of a mutual acquaintance. He was incredibly unpleasant and clearly relished humiliating me in front of his (showbiz) entourage. Disagree, by all means. But be civil.
Then you have to factor in police racism. If you’ve been raised in a community that is over policed then they’re not your first port of call in an emergency. If you’ve seen them make things worse your entire life, why call involve them in an issue so intimate?
There are children in this country that starve in the holidays cause term time is the only time they get a hot meal during the day. They wash their clothes at school cause they have no electricity. If that doesn’t sicken you I don’t know what to say.
The remnants of apartheid are still around. There are still signs around that say ‘whites only.’ I asked a guy why and he said, ‘lest we forget.’ There were still extremely racist attitudes on display. I remember how my treatment would change when they heard my accent.
You work at GB News. Did you think that you were ‘special’ or ‘different’? Did you think you ‘weren’t like all the others?’
Play stupid games and win stupid prizes. Wake up!
The emotions I felt at that mural overwhelmed me and I stood there for quite a long time crying. There was a 14 year old boy murdered for having skin the same colour as mine in the year that I was born. When SA police shot down children like mine for daring to protest.
Going to South Africa for the first time was one of the most important trips of my life. I was probably a nuisance to the comedians that I was working with. I asked endless questions about growing up during apartheid and the stories were as horrific as you’d imagine.
I remember my first trip to Soweto and the man who took me there pointed out the only street in the world that two Nobel Peace Prize winners had lived on: Mandela and Tutu. He left me alone at the mural of Hector Pieterson a 14 year old boy murdered at the Soweto Uprising.
Here are the details of my PayPal for all those asking how they can help with my mounting legal fees. Thank you all in advance. The support I am being shown is breathtaking.
Extinction Rebellion protesters appeared to be punched and pushed by commuters at Canning Town station, after activists climbed on top of a Tube carriage during rush hour
I hate how Boris Johnson defends his Islamophobic letterbox comment by saying he was defending Muslim women’s right to wear the burka. And journalists are accepting it! Using that logic a politician could write “I agree with n*****s voting,” saying they were arguing for democracy
Being told you’re not able to raise your own kids and multiple accusations of abusing them are not uncommon. So if you have kids involved you may not want to say anything publicly. You could end up losing them. You want things dealt with quickly and discreetly.
This whole ‘Kate Osamor lives in social housing’ furore reminds me of how much this world loves to control black people. The institutional racism that pervades society can be seen on both the left and right. And the way it manifests itself on either side is also interesting.
