Yup! Over 90 percent of Europe too.
83% of Britain is white.
87% of MPs are white.
92% of police officers are white.
94% of the House of Lords is white.
85% of Britain’s richest families are white.
Yet we’re supposed to believe Britain is gripped by “systemic anti-white racism”?
Give it a rest.
It’s a far-right grievance industry built on outrage, not evidence. If white Britons overwhelmingly dominate politics, policing, wealth and power, the conspiracy theory simply doesn’t survive contact with reality. #UKPolitics

The cops murdered a 1-year-old baby in Mississippi after someone falsely accused his mother of shoplifting from Walmart.
Even if the diapers were stolen that is no justification for cops to murder anyone let alone a child, but she had a receipt.
A baby is dead because of a shoot-first, murderous cop AND a racist person who profiled a Black mother and called the police over diapers that she didn’t even steal.

🟥 “Silence is the language of the oppressor.”
🔳Sudanese journalist Naji-Al Kurshabi breaks down mid-interview, saying he wishes he could write the stories instead of speak them because the pain of saying them aloud is unbearable.
🔳What’s happening in Sudan is not distant. It’s the same story as Gaza, as Syria the world watching while entire families are starved into silence and cities reduced to ash. Oppression has no borders. No colour. No excuse. If you care about justice in Gaza, you must care about Sudan too.
🔴Watch this man’s voice crack then ask yourself why those responsible are still met with handshakes, not handcuffs.

Trump & his ilk want a religious civil war in Nigeria. He doesn’t care about Nigerians. People wake up - Nigerian Christians & Muslims share the same enemy - it’s not a religious war - it’s religious violence against Christians AND Muslims. But it’s Christian Genocide trending.
Trump is exploiting Nigeria with half-truths in order to push the West geopolitical narrative that ‘Islam is the Enemy and Muslims are terrorists’. It’s bullshit.
The corrupt & inept Nigerian govt is responsible & should be accountable for the ongoing persecutions, killings & displacement of Nigerians by Boko Haram, ISWAP & other militant groups.
It's probably a burner account.
I don’t know if this is the burner account of @akada or @james_yeku. Gentlemen, next time just say the truth with your chest 😁
