    It's not black pain, it's pain. It's not black joy, it's joy. It's not black love, it's love. It's not black hair, it's hair. It's not black trauma, it's trauma. It's not a black life, it's a life. I think it's time to abandon separatist language and thought.

    This is what happens when you think English is the only language on the planet. This is what happens when ignorance meets wokeness. This is what happens.

    "I'm a black male doing things.. that's why there's an uproar" No honey, you're a moron who doesn't seem to get that entering someone's home without permission is a crime, not a joke. There actually needs to be more pushback on certain types of pranks; it's getting out of hand.

    A white lady once complimented my hair. I was at a local Jazz festival with my husband. I had 30-inch braids at the time. I didn't consider it to be racist or some kind of egregious social faux pas; I simply smiled, thanked her for the compliment, and we carried on enjoying the

    I was asked if Racism is getting worse. My answer is no. Racism is not worse. The problem is that the definition of racism has expanded. There are no longer any boundaries. Racism used to mean very specific things, now it means nothing.... or rather.... now it means everything..

    Being proud to be British, loving this country or caring about the future of this country is not "a white thing" Nah, I love this country too and honestly if people don't like it then WHY don't they just leave? I've said it before and I'll say it again, telling someone who

    You can compliment my hairstyle. You can ask where I'm really from. You can mispronounce my name. You can tell me I speak articulately. Life's way too short to be so insecure.... to take compliments as insults, or to misconstrue genuine curiosity as malicious intent.

    For a world that is allegedly so anti-black, it's odd that any chance to identify solely as black, people take it. I always thought privilege was in whiteness & everyone apparently wants to be in that club. However this idea doesn't seem so consistent with what occurs in reality

    John Boyega saying he dates only black women isn't a problem. Double standards are a problem. If a white actor said they only dated white women, many would not defend his right to have "preferences," they would call him racist. The rules have to stay consistent, that's all.

    Is there racism in Britain? Yes. Is Britain a Racist country? No. Is there racism in America? Yes. Is America a racist country? No. This shouldn't be controversial.

    My biggest battle is not racism, it is constantly having to justify that my thoughts are mine and not me trying to do a white person's bidding. My biggest battle is not defending my skin colour to racists but my own authentic thoughts to so called anti-racists.

    It would have been more believable if it read; "I'm white, I'm straight, I'm a man. My country hates me.... and insists that I am the root of all problems past and present"

    As a black woman, I do not see the "white man" as my problem... If the white man is my problem, then only the white man can be my solution... You can't pay me enough money to subscribe to such a self limiting ideology.
