I read a story on the news that has been haunting me the last week.

about a 17/18 year old Somali boy (some links report him aged 17 at the time of his death) here in London. He went missing december last year and his family filed a missing person claim with the police, their last memory of him was at his sister’s wedding.

…..about 2 weeks ago his body was discovered in the attic of a house belonging to a white couple who stabbed him to death. 

His body was discovered in august 2018.

He died december last year.

his name was Abdi Ali

there is little to no media coverage…I only heard about it through twitter.

Representation is actually so important! Me and my friends would always say we're this character or this character. And I'd always end up being the black one. Even if I disliked the character. It seems like such a small thing, but actually having more than one character who looks like you with character depth rather than a token is soo refreshing.

“These two young Black boys talking about which #BlackPanther characters they are is everything. Representation!” [x]

Racial Inequality in the U.K.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/theresa-may-racism-review-government-race-audit-inequality-a7991316.html%3famp Summary of this article is that; 1. There are higher unemployment rates for people of colour compared to white British of nearly double in certain areas. With the rates being higher in Northern England. 2. This is also found in a house ownership 3. I doubt Theresa May will make the necessary changes to change this. Living in Norfolk (which is an extremely white county) I've found so many people think that racism isn't a widespread problem anymore. They always forget that racism isn't just verbally discriminating against somebody. It comes in forms which are deep rooted in society. I've been so slack updating this blog with current information specific to the U.K. So over the next week I want to break down the different aspects of what leads to lower employment and house ownership for p.o.c. so I explain this article further.

Disney’s Aladdin casts white actors in brown roles

Disney admittedly browned up many white extras for crowd scenes, even though over a million people from Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Arab descent live within a 50 mile radius of the shooting location.

Disney said it resorted to darkening white people for roles requiring skills that could not be readily found in the Asian community, such as stunt men, dancers and camel handlers.

Him: I don’t date black women. It’s just a preference. Me: Based on what? Him: Nothing, it’s just how I feel. Me: Impossible, deliberate aversions come from somewhere. Him: Its just a preference, that’s all. Me: No, a preference is preferring broccoli to asparagus. You can say that because asparagus will always taste the same, even when prepared differently. Him: And? Me: And we’re not always the same at all. There are hundreds of millions of us and we’re each completely different from the next. If an employer said not hiring Black people was a preference would you agree? Him: No, but that’s based on stereotypes. Me: … And what is yours based on, facts?

- discussion with a classmate earlier.

Love who you want, I don’t care, but please don’t disguise legitimate issues with a relationship.

Women break Asian teenage girl’s arm in racist attack at London KFC

The 15-year-old victim, of Asian appearance, was eating with friends in a branch of KFC in Waltham Forest when the pair threw food at her.

When the girl turned around to speak to them, they began hurling racial abuse, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said.

“The older of the two women then pulled the victim’s hair causing her to fall to the floor. Both suspects kicked the victim whilst she was on the ground,“ the spokesperson said.
