It is not our differences that divide us.
It is our inability to recognise, accept, and celebrate those differences. (Audre Lorde.)
The late
Audre Lorde, was an American writer, feminist, womanist, librarian, and civil rights activist.
She was a self-described 'black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet'.
A lady that dedicated both her life and her creative talent to confronting and addressing injustices of...
Racism, Sexism, Classism, Hetero-sexism, and Homophobia.
She was born on the 18th of February 1934, in Harlem, New York, United States.
Sadly died on the 17th of November 1992, in Christiansted, U.S. (Virgin Islands).
Her fight ... Our fight ... Continues..!
Democracy in a multicultural society must be seen to have no prejudices.
Racism, Sexism, Ageism, Classism, Homophobia, Nationalism, Religious prejudice, Xenophobia.
The question being, just how democratic are we?
Is Britain even fair?
Do the police and other authorities treat all people equally?
Clearly from what you will read on this site, Britain is in decline!
So at what point in history did 'Indifference' become a weapon?
History defines that it all happened when the so-called Politically Correct (PC), intervened.
A law banning fire, will never stop it from burning.
When left to its own nature, even an inferno will simply fizzle out.
Banning something by law, just makes it immortal, like telling a child not to eat sweets!
Diplomacy is the wisdom of negotiation, not the PCs suppression of a nation?
In retrospect, PC laws act inasmuch as 'Bling' ... It looks good, but serves no real purpose whatsoever!
Many of them have never even been enacted.
It's as if they were possibly designed to simply keep people quiet?
Cheryl McLeod, chair of Lewisham Trade Union Council, said: There have been 1741 deaths in police custody in England and Wales since 1990.
The death of Belly Mujinga was said not to be linked to the male whom spat at her whilst stating that he had the Covid-19 virus.
Yet he was never charged with anything..!
Every death is not just a single victim, but an entire family, plus friends left in tormenting emotional pain.
Justice is supposed to relieve that agony, restore their dignity, and help them to move on.
It is a basic human right, yet Justice is not being served, right here in the UK!
RIP.
In Lewisham, southeast London, Kamyimsola Olatunjoye, was held down, punched, and slapped by six police officers, and is heard to shout, 'Please stop!', and 'I can’t breathe!'...
The Mayor of Lewisham recently added to criticism of police, who he described the incident as using “excessive force”.
Protesters also drew attention to the detainment of an off-duty African American ambulance driver in Deptford, who was cuffed for a drug search on May 21.
See the Prejudice page under the Injustice menu, where two of our top athletes received similar treatment.
Following the death of George Floyd in America, the UK police demonstrated, 'No lessons learnt'!
Marcus Coutain was brutalised by officers, and his neck was also knelt upon.
This action is not part of any police training.
Therefore it seems that they took it upon themselves to repeat this atrocity.
The matter was referred to the IOPC, which itself has come under much scrutiny!
One officer was suspended, and another was removed from operational duties.
It remains to be seen, for just how long?
