Published

“I have told my child that he can be anything he wants to be, there is absolutely no limit to what he can achieve and I am wondering now if I am wrong.”

BBC Radio London presenter Eddie Nestor has talked more about race on his radio show this year than in the whole of the last 18 years.

    This 🙌❤️ it's not an easy discussion. I have a 6 and 8 year old. The 8 y/o is getting aware of race and it's not easy to navigate. Thanks for this video.

    One heart one brain !! My kids never once question race or the way a person looks!! Stop the pigeon holes. I'm looking for a job and have endless forms to full forms out detailing my appearance, white ,white Irish, white Scottish, Chinese,black, black Caribbean , Mongolian,Hindi ,hindi white, it went on and on I think there were 50 options. I understand why that form came about, governments mistakes, disgusting acts of the human race; and I'm not trying to steal anyone culture ,pride, or religion. definitely don't want anyone to miss out on opportunities!! If you think about it why do my young kids and others never question or notice appearance. It's only when they went to school they came and asked me about appearances of they friends,I'd say forgot those descriptions their just your friend.
    2021 and still we have silly forms pigeon holes just promoting ,teaching differences. Embrace one tick box Human!! let's teach love rather than difference. Then who knows maybe these trolls will never come about in the first place!! I know this much who ever you are no one's better than you. big love

    The children today have TV the INTERNET and PARENTS they know everything about race. They do not care about our generational hatred media is now trying to force down their throats. They are far more intelligent

    I am black, what is with how do I teach my children about race, just get on with life. Enjoy your culteral food, music, dancing, history, melanin etc etc. I would rather be in Barbados than the UK, only because the whole vibe is my thing and with the Grace of God I will be there one day. But being in the UK isn't bad either, we aren't oppressed! We might need to work twice as hard, but I know for sure the way I was brought up by my mother, if I were in any other country in the world I would be finished, and the UK has had my back even if I have got on its nerves. I do appreciate the UK and I love being black. Look at Lewis Hamilton, you can be what you want if parents dig down deep and work hard, instead of crying about being black and making excuses for your failures.

    The black demographic of Britain is only 3%, yet everywhere you look in the media, there's a black face smiling back at you… This in your face, cultural appropriation is pushing moderate whites increasingly to the right.

    You could tell them that in the late 1960s a politician called Enoch Powell predicted that mass immigration would accentuate rather than reduce racism

    Teach them the History of the World. Then Tell them there are good and bad in all Races and Skin Colours.
    Then … reassure them that there are many opportunities to be had and the better they strive in education and life, the better chances they will have in all aspects of it. Teach them that the scurge of racism is vastly present in 'ALL' Colours and Races (to each other!) and that the Media are so guilty of stirring up such hatred on a grand scale! Google 'Red Ant, Black Ant' "Who shook that Jar!" Then (if you haven't already), pass on to them, the knowledge gleaned from it and how relevant it is to what is going on in the world right now! They will hopefully then be able to figure something out for themselves! Sending much hope to them for happy times 🤗

    The real racism that is in Europe and the United States pursue is against Muslims especially The Sunni, this is the reality which no one talks about, no media mentioned it.

    "Don't listen to anything they say on the telly, kids. They want to indoctrinate you, to enrage you and to weaponise your thinking for the benefit of this or that ideology, whichever one is trending higher on the political agenda that month. Just be a good human being and show respect; to yourself and to those around you. The rest is just noise". That would be a start.

    But what is “race”. Both Nigerians and Ethiopians are usually black, but they are very different even if they are African. Same goes for Moroccans and Iranians, both “brown”, or Irish and Eastern Russian (Vladivostok). Skin colour means nothing so maybe stop focusing on that.

    If you're white like me, just tell your kids "Your skin color is white so you will be treated with hostility by many people, including your own government. Unlike literally every other "group", yours will be openly lambasted if it ever acts in any organized manner, and you will be ridiculed if you don't smile and nod your head at propaganda designed to demonize you."

    Tell them about white privilege so they can either post black square's on their Instagram or call people racist daily without repercussions. Works for most people.

    How to talk to children about race? Just don't talk about it. Kids should not be encouraged to look the world through the lens of race

    January 12, 2024 at 12:05 am

    But I thought teaching white children about their race was racist? Wtf have we all become? Are our lives so meaningless that all people deem important is to point out to your child that there are “others” living in different countries and the hot countries have people with browner skin? Smh so so very sad!!

    conversation with my children about race: everyone is different. Never judge someone by how they look because you might be surprised to discover their uniqueness. Everyone has limitless potential if they strive to discover it. This can be proved. There are people who wrongfully judge people or think less of people by how they look. This is a mistake. You ought to meet someone and allow them to present themself to you and then decide how closely you should relate with them. It’s ok to surround yourself with positive, loving and beneficial people while keeping those who do not add to your wellbeing at a distance. Appearance does indicate someone’s personality but skin is unique. Everyone is different. Side note: clothing is a greater indicator of someone’s uniqueness over skin color. Worldwide.

    January 12, 2024 at 12:05 am

    Anyone who goes about their daily life constantly fixated on race is a very unpleasant and discontented person. Same goes for gender or religion or really any label to be honest. I was raised to treat everyone with respect and consideration (compassion) we are all brothers and sisters. Ultimately we are connected. I believe that connection comes from God.

    The New Zealand government has publicly apologised to the Chinese people for the immigration issues they experienced.

    Public apologies were also made to Pacific Islanders who were subjected to racist dawn raids during the eighties.

    Police would arrive early in the morning when people were sleeping and walk in with their boots on and bring their dogs inside.

Jailed HK activist Joshua Wong pleads guilty to foreign collusion | BBC News

Published

on



Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy campaigner Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to collusion with foreign entities, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of life in prison under Beijing’s sweeping National Security Law (NSL).

The 29-year-old, who has become the poster child for political activism in Hong Kong, is already serving a sentence of four years and eight months after being convicted of subversion – another NSL violation – in late 2024.

The court said Wong would be sentenced at a later date. His earlier jail term is due to end early next year.

Wong was at the forefront of the Umbrella Movement in 2014 and massive pro-democracy protests in 2019.

The latest charge accuses Wong of conspiring with other campaigners, including exiled activist Nathan Law, to ask foreign countries and entities outside China to impose sanctions or blockades against Beijing.

US targets Larak Island while Iran strikes air bases in Jordan | BBC News

Published

on



Iran and the US have traded strikes after American forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

The US strike is the first known attack on Iran since President Donald Trump paused a renewed military campaign in late July.

Iran said it had struck US military bases in Jordan in response, with Jordan’s army saying it had intercepted eight missiles early on Monday morning.

Iran’s state TV also said the Iranian army had targeted an air base in the UAE with drones, however, the UAE’s Ministry of Defence denied the reports that Al-Minhad Air Base had been targeted as “unfounded”. The UAE did confirm it shot down a drone.
