JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Turned the TV on this morning and it sounded like some sort of Siberian desert wasteland outside so I got myself togged up and ready to leave for work only to find it's actually quite sunny and pleasant.

uttoxram75 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Theresa May has asked everyone to check on their frail elderly neighbours during this cold snap, and if they have an extra bedroom, report them to the DWP. #TheBeastFromTheEast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The real reason, and you know it you labour lover! Is we need to check the elderly and see if they need food. So the Tories can cut the meals on wheels service.

No she hasn’t, one Tory is trying to get some mileage out of it. What Bergdorf said is that all white people benefit from the implicit structural biases of racism, whether they are personally prejudiced or not. All the evidence suggests this is true, and it has come up in other threads. For example, here’s a study showing how implicit bias operates in the classroom from the earliest age: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/oct/04/black-students-teachers-implicit-racial-bias-preschool-study Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Honestly I don't have energy to talk about the racial violence of white people any more. "Yes ALL white people. "Because most of ya'll don't even realise or refuse to acknowledge that your existence, privilege and success as a race is built on the backs, blood and death of people of colour.

Wouldn’t you say this is pretty much the case, looking at the history of slavery, the empire, the colonies? The US is still ******* over brown people’s countries for their resources to this day.

McRainy Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 ...and no, we don’t acknowledge it. Since when has the history of the British Empire been taught in schools? We’re brought up to think we’re the good guys, the pinnacle of civilisation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
