    Last month my boys were called a black n***** again twice. Reported to head. Nothing done other than him speaking with said parent. My 8 yr old cried as he told me “he doesn’t want to be black” I called the head the next morning and told him I’m not sending my boys to...

    Black girls are really under attack in this country. A 39 year old white woman, 16, 15, 10 and 11 year old white girls and a 38 year old white man all viciously beat up that Black girl whilst the Head watched. Somebody filmed & ppl drove past. Don’t tell me Black girls are safe!

    Part of the problem is people in these institutions constantly adultify black children and struggle to see them as victims therefore their trauma and experiences are not treated like that of a child. They are strong, they can brush it off. NO. Give them the support they need!

    So, a 10 yr old white boy at my school keeps calling my son the 'N WORD'. The first incident was a few months when they were playing playstation and he was losing so he decided to call him it. I heard him and took the game and told him I was going to speak with his parents. (1/8)

    On Saturday I surprised my wife with an indoor date night by hiring a sleeping bubble tent for the garden. Staying in is now the new going out. It’s save to say she loved it - and so did the kids KMT! 😭😡

    #LindensPrimarySchool to be racially abused and nothing is being done... the head replied ‘I understand, say a big hello to the boys’... Yes, my boys missed out on their education because of racial abuse. A few days later they went in, not one teacher asked them how they were. 🥲

    I’m sorry we don’t speak about this enough. Dwight Yorke is a waste man and needs to fix up. He has a son. We need to hold this MF to account. Regardless of his thoughts about his mum, he chose to have a baby with her. Too many men think this is ok when it’s not. FIX UP!

    So, I borrowed one of my suits to my dad for an event he was attending. He returned it a few months after. Today I’m going out and I couldn’t get the suit on. I called him and he told me he took the suit in. Imagine, tailoring someone else’s clothes. Is he alright 🤣🤣🤨

    I must stress @Ofstednews and @WalsallCouncil must launch an immediate investigation into the school. Black children are not safe in that space!

    Took my boys to Liverpool Anfield today for the first time to watch @LFC Legends play. They absolutely loved it. ⚽️ PS. I don’t even like football but they love it so had to do it for them. ❤️❤️

    This is absolutely disgusting. People wonder why people of colour who are subject to racial abuse keep quiet about it. This misogynoir is wild. We must protect our Black women. I’m tired.

    to school this morning - needless to say I walked straight past them with my head held high. Last night I spoke to my son & had yet again a conversation around racism in Britain. I am just sad he had to experience this from someone he thought was a friend. (8/8)

    This is appalling. Darren is truly despicable. To openly mock a Black person for tracking their ancestry and finding solace in a place of their origins is a new low, even for him. It’s actually very racist. Apparently Meghan is always making it about her. No mate, that’s you

    Watching white Brits in a tiff about Meghan and Harry is the funniest thing you will ever see on YouTube… it’s also freaken racist, but hey. Why would white boy Harry care about his ancestral connection to Nigeria?! Of course Meghan did because SHE IS HALF BLACK. She is not

    'This story has broken me.' Tru Powell calls for the police officers and teachers involved to be 'sacked' and says this is 'unacceptable'.
