This is modern day Britain

Was on GMB this morning raising awareness of racism in the NHS… if you have experienced it please contact us at equality4Blacknurses.com ❤️

@GMB @CharlotteHawkns @edballs This was absolutely disgusting on how this nurse was treated. All nurses no what your colour or gender are there to give you care

Police point gun at Black toddler and mother in arrest. The traumatisation and adultification of Black children is a deliberate weapon of White Supremacy which the Police enforce without fail.

Black nurses in the NHS fight against racism daily, yet their struggles are often ignored. Their voices deserve to be heard, their experiences acknowledged, and real change implemented. Silence is no longer an option—equity in healthcare, starting with listening and action.‼️🔊

👏🏽Black faces in high faces - Kemi Badenoch is angry that a Palestinian family of 6 has been given same refuge status as over 200k Ukrainians. Why? …because Ukrainians are White and scheme is for White people.

Did you know? Black NHS staff report the highest levels of harassment and abuse from patients. How can we put an end to this?

The problem with UK diaspora Nigerians in particular is that you don't know the history of Black UK immigration, so you don't know your place in that system. You've never heard of Enoch Powell, or the Windrush era, or "No dogs, Blacks or Irish," or why the UK ever admitted Black migrants in the first place. You think your 2019 "japa" is something that just happened devoid of historical or geopolitical context, based on your personal effort and hard work. You think your UK skilled worker/care visa makes you a hardworking, educated, taxpaying, contributing member of British society, and you get offended when that recognition is consistently denied to you. Because you don't understand your role in British society and why they gave you that visa. The first Black UK immigrants in the modern era (the so-called Windrush generation from the Caribbean) were enticed to move to the UK between the late 1940s and the early 1970s, with promises of higher wages than they could get for their skills at home. The immigration pathway was even easier for them than for you, because they were classed as citizens of the British empire, and they did not need visas to move to England. Due to a shortage of men after WW2, Britain needed labour to rebuild its destroyed infrastructure and revitalise its economy and tax receipts. Hundreds of thousands of men from Jamaica, Trinidad & Tobago, Grenada, St Lucia, etc brought their skills, energy and families to contribute to the UK, like you lot are doing today. The post-WW2 London Underground and the wider Transport For London network were built and staffed almost entirely by Jamaican men. At a point, TFL opened recruitment offices in the Caribbean to recruit migrants directly from there - such was its dependence on West Indian migrants to keep London's economy functioning (sound familiar?) There is nothing great about the UK's infrastructure today that our Caribbean cousins did not significantly contribute toward. They literally rebuilt the UK's capital and significantly contributed to the growth of other cities like Birmingham, Manchester and Bradford. And after all these undeniable contributions, how did the story end? In 2015, the UK Home Office started hunting down the surviving members of this generation, claiming that they had no legal right to be in the UK, and they should leave within 30 days or be deported to countries some of them had left before they gained independence. In the 30 years before 2015, the children and grandchildren of these Black migrants who built the UK had been economically and socially converted into an underclass that was overrepresented in crime statistics and invisible practically everywhere else except sports and entertainment. If you knew all this, you'd have realised by now that your "Skilled Worker Visa" or "Care Worker Visa" is just Windrush Part II, and those "Jamo" people some of you look down on and warn your children against associating with, are exactly what the UK is going to turn your children and grandchildren into, if it isn't merciful enough to deport you and them first. They once used West Indian labour to carry out essential functions that they couldn't themselves, until their population recovered and they didn't need those blackies anymore. They're simply doing the same thing again, with a bit of extra English to massage your ego and make you feel important. Ultimately your story in the UK will play out the same way as that of our cousins from across the Atlantic - economically and socially restricted to ghettos in a few cities where your children have only 2 real possibilities open to them: somehow make it as a professional footballer, or drop out of school and become a drug dealer in Hounslow with a Drill mixtape on Soundcloud. You and your kids will then be invoked by politicians as a "social burden on the British state" and become the face of the immigration Bogeyman they trot out to white voters every election. History is very important.

For four years I stayed silent on the horrific deaths of multiple babies in Chester. But tomorrow I break my silence in a special episode of Outspoken because I am now convinced that Lucy Letby has been subjected to one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in British history.

It doesn’t matter what colour the occupants of this car were, one was wanted in relation to a knife incident in Enfield North London. What’s interesting is, not one officer fired. A question, why did only one officer fire into Kaba’s car?

Even our words trigger content filters. When Black voices speak truth about our experiences, we’re flagged as “dangerous” or “aggressive.” This is racism in digital spaces equality4blacknurses.com/post/silent-st… silencing us, controlling our narrative. We won’t be muted.
