Instead of conceding to Scott Colom, they’re dragging this out to show the world just how racist the white power structure is in Mississippi.

The same racists who spent years mocking George Floyd and Trayvon Martin are mad at Dave Chappelle for making jokes about Charlie Kirk. This is peak right-wing hypocrisy.

By @Hardeep_Matharu
Lord Simon Woolley, Principal of Homerton College at Cambridge University, finds himself in a ‘catch-22’ of media scrutiny. But now five years into the role, he is continuing to focus on his ambition of 'reimagining education’

White washing the enslavement of millions of Africans and rubbishing the reparations movement led to a FALL in the polls for the Tories and Reform. Humanity, compassion and discussion led to a rise for Labour.

'The Kemi Dilemma'
Kemi Badenoch was called a "Nigerian scammer" by an ally of Nigel Farage. This situation poses a complex question:
Do anti-racists defend someone who enables racism, or do we sit back and enjoy the show?

New research into breast cancer diagnosis adds to mounting evidence of health inequalities affecting Black women putting their lives at risk.
But, asks @richardsudan, how many more reports are needed before anything is done? 👇🏿

I’ve just read this justification for the Jason Arday nomination for @jgro_the from @DomPonsford and @pressgazette
As a matter of accuracy, this is an outright misrepresentation.
There were no ‘legal threats’ in Arday’s lawyers’ letter.

A British Journalism Awards nomination for a story about the late Professor Jason Arday has prompted more than 500 complaints. Press Gazette has responded to the concerns raised. pressgazette.co.uk/news/awar…

I’m so honoured to share that I’ve been shortlisted for the UK Black Comms Network Trailblazer Awards in the Writing Excellence category. 🎉✍🏾🥹🩷
To be recognised for my work as a journalist, a job I have dreamed of doing since I was a child, feels truly special.

"Jason Arday is no longer with us because of a pack of lies and a largely racist mainstream media. The fact that there are a few Black people in some senior positions means nothing" - @richardsudan
"The fact that the British Press Awards have seemingly vindicated this media lynching is a scathing indictment of the anti-Black racism which has engulfed the mainstream media in Britain" - by @richardsudan 👇🏾
Black American Freedmen deserve, and are owed, *specific* policies on the issues that matter to their communities.
Black voters delivered for Democrats yet again.
But when will the Democrats finally deliver for Black voters?

In this op-ed, @richardsudan says, with the plagiarism allegations against #JasonArday repeatedly unsubstantiated, the decision by British Press Awards judges to shortlist journalism associated with his ordeal sends a deeply troubling message to Black Britain.

The UK media hounded Professor Jason Arday to his death. Now they’re potentially handing out prizes for it.
UK mainstream media is anti-Black to the core.

The idea that "Africans sold Africans" into slavery (or "Blacks sold Blacks") is a decontextaulised victim-blaming white supremacist lie.
From @GMB today.
#reparations
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
African kingdoms such as Dahomey actively captured and sold millions of captives to European traders in the transatlantic slave trade, per royal statements, port records and historians.

Never forget during Bruno he was walking around the Middle East tauting Arabs to attack him but they all were kind to him and the people that did attack him were Israelis and he was forced to break character and remove it from the movie.
