“But the children are never the problem. It’s the parents. The kids are always fun, and they’re reading the same books as kids in Brooklyn and LA. It doesn’t matter if their daddy is a racist, because their babies are reading Ghost!” ow.ly/kGdp50CKeaC

If you're one of the many, many people who condemns the whole BLM movement because of the protests, I trust you'll now also condemn every single person who wants to protect a statue.
Or if, you've picked a side, realise these are your teammates.

Like millions of others, we are horrified by the victim-blaming front page which is echoing around all our virtual chambers today. It serves as an illustration of how far our industry still has to go in terms of tackling misogyny.

My reporters, sadly, attend court hearings regularly where domestic violence is raked over. Never, EVER, would I blast up the perpetrator's defence. Especially a boastful lack of contrition.
If this is journalism, I'm starting to think I'm in the wrong job.

We need to accept that we are all biased, whether we like it or not, because we’ve been socialised & brainwashed by the systems we live in to be prejudiced. Nothing will change until we accept this. Saying “I’m not like that” isn’t helpful. We’re all “like that” >>

A #thread of books exploring racism and race. It includes fiction, poetry, non-fiction because we need to hear many voices.
These are UK-centric because we are here trying to dismantle white supremacy in Britain.
