White women really love weaponising their tears and their white womanhood

It’s strategic, violent and terrifying

I haven’t spoken on this yet because i’m just in shock (when I really shouldn’t be tbh)

Will probably get blocked by her but ...wow

Richard had sickle cell. Evan had sickle cell. There is a particular way that this country dismisses the severity of sickle cell disease because it isn’t something that white people have to deal with.

But the country isn’t ‘structurally racist’ so ignore me.

The police are maybe not a reliable judge of whether something’s a hate crime based on, you know, their whole deal.

We love to see it!!!!

Just talked to a young person whose little bro was on the train to London to see his Nan. British Transport Police were at a platform, saw him, got on, questioned where he was going, he said, but concerned about ‘county lines’, they made him get off (instead of just calling her)

Yesterday my beautiful baby brother left this world the same way he came in, cradled in my mother's arms. He died defending his family. His eyes were bright, his face showed no pain, he was at peace. To God we belong & to Him we return. You're home now baby, I'll see you soon.🌹
