Racist british media is now rewarding itself for the racist hounding to death of a Black professor. Know this and know why you must fully divest.

Mind you, there's an active story rn about continued SA's by a prominent British celebrity - and the press in this country is not reporting on it bc of risk of that person's suicide. Meanwhile the dogged pursuit of "truth" at any cost in the case of Arday is being celebrated...
Dr Joy White retweeted
This is wild and nefarious. Awarding a journalist who contributed to Jason’s demise. But you cannot gaslight anyone, racism and xenophobia has always underscored this periodical and your award attests to this.

If you can't see what's wrong with this and all the people being lauded and promoted for hounding a man to death I don't know what to say other than unfollow me and one day try and become a decent person.
Should journalists be rewarded for the ‘sustained racist targeting, harassment and humiliation’ that preceded Professor Arday's death? @pressgazette

Between 1969 & 1970, police raided the Mangrove 12 times, finding no evidence of illegal activity. On 9 August 1970, Black Power activists led a march against police harassment. Nine protesters were later charged with inciting a riot, becoming the Mangrove Nine.

When I say crash out. I mean speaking up and speaking out. Not appeasing whiteness.
Keeping our heads down & remaining silent is a useless tactic. Building community helps with solidarity &keeping one’s sanity. But at some point you got to open your mouth & SPEAK UP!
Dr Joy White retweeted
The event at Oxford is complete psychological & spiritual warfare. They will continue to peck at Jason’s carcass until not a sinew remains. I hope this is warning for Black& Brown academic that respectability politics & cutenes will not save you. Gonna need to crash out.

You can call for people to be put in concentration camps, make sexually violent and paedophilic remarks, call Black children animals & Asian people parasites but mainstream media will move on quite swiftly as long as you’re not a Black professor at Cambridge.
