- Racism in Europe is so terrifying. Was chatting to a Nigerian guy living in Germany on the train the other day. He said one day during a storm a tree on his street fell down and blocked the pavement. He decided to pick it up and move it out of the way so people could pass...
- Replying to @lslothuusWhen we're bombarded with claims of 'woke nonsense' every day it's useful to remember the stories of actual people who have to endure the reality of racism that the media and right-wing politicians pretend is made up by radical academics. Yet it's their denial that's made up!
- Replying to @lslothuusHe said 'sometimes the racism is so bad that I know I have to pack my bags and go back to Nigeria. I'll forever be a black man in a white country that doesn't want me'. At work he has to stop himself from going over to a corner and start crying after yet another racist incident.
- Thinking about this guy again and hope he has a wonderful day
- Replying to @lslothuusHe has a university degree from Nigeria, is a native speaker of English and French, and learnt German, Spanish, Italian from working all over Europe. He then showed me his scars from acid burns all over his arms from his dangerous manual job in Germany.
- Replying to @lslothuusHe then spotted an elderly white woman looking out through a window in her flat. She was shaking her head. After he's done clearing the pavement of tree debris he's ready to go home. Next thing he knows, German police arrive saying they've had reports of a suspicious looking man.
- Replying to @lslothuusThe principal of his son's school called him in because his son was 'unruly'. 'He's five years old and I am raising him to stick up for himself and be proud' he said. Otherwise he will get bullied forever. His son is the only black kid in the school.
- âNo climate justice on occupied landâ Respect for Greta Thunbergâs vocal commitment to the cause of Palestine. One struggle, one fight! đľđ¸đąđ
- I have honestly never seen anything as horrific as the videos from Rafah. A father holding his baby with their head missing. And the settlers are celebrating. The settler colony will never be able nor allowed to recover from its crimes. It has to go, from the river to the sea
- Hi @Tesco why are you selling carrots grown by settlers on stolen Palestinian land? Do you know how many people will start boycotting you if you donât stop doing this?
- "We the Palestinians will recover. We will stand up again from the midst of destruction, as we have always done as Palestinians...But for those who are complicit I feel sorry for you. Will you ever recover from this?" Christmas Message from @MuntherIsaac youtube.com/watch?v=qbHzqUâŚ
00:00 - Never seen this many people in Trafalgar Square. Central London is completely packed and shut down, what a truly beautiful sight đľđ¸đľđ¸
