The Cambridge academic Robin Bunce said: “There is a fundamental danger of erasing the very notion of a struggle at all. I’ve been researching this for four and a half years and there have been so many occasions when people have said to me: ‘There was no black struggle in Britain. You’re thinking of South Africa or America.’“
The narrative that feeds it is the one that Britain is the utopia of fair play. We have such a commitment to individual rights, we have such a commitment to common sense and decency that there is no systematic racism in Britain.”…
Bunce said it was not just politicians, but wider British society that would rather not dwell on the less palatable.
this is the single saddest thing I’ve ever seen on cutthroat kitchen
The contestant didn’t speak English as a first language Due to this the judge didn’t judge his dish as biscuits and gravy but as brisket and gravy and the contestant moved onto the next round After this Alton started explaining the dish he was asking them to make more in detail to make sure it didn’t happen again.
THE CORRECT WAY TO REACT TO LANGUAGE MISCOMMUNICATION
That Rough Night trailer has me all infuriated now.
When will sex workers stop being the target of violent jokes in main stream media? As if it isn’t DIFFICULT ENOUGH to hear of deaths in our actual community, only to have it displayed like it’s “super funny” in a movie trailer.
Fuck off Hollywood, seriously.
Do you even have a clue as to how many stories I’ve heard of my fellow strippers going MISSING because they happen to be sex workers?
Sure, you can work at the safest, most superbly monitored club in the world but that doesn’t stop angry customers from following you home or like poor Toni from the Midwest who was abducted after a late shift (because she was pretty, it was late, BAM BOOM they take her).
It’s fucking SAD.
It’s mortifying.
LIKE girls at my home club are still mourning the death of a beautiful soul whom was lost last fall and IT’s AWFUL to see the media joking about the death of sex workers.
STOP. JUST STOP MAKING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY FELLOW SEX WORKERS FEEL LIKE WE DON’T FUCKING MATTER. THAT OUR EXISTENCE IS NO MORE THAN A JOKE. A “HA-HA”.
THIS IS WHY WHEN WE GO MISSING, PEOPLE DON’T COME LOOKING, BECAUSE TO SOCIETY, WE’RE ALREADY DEAD.
Y'all really trippin bout this movie
Tumblr calls for boycotts on shit for whitewashing, racism, and every other little thing under the sun, but sex workers have an issue with the portrayal of our deaths as a joke and suddenly we’re trippin’?
civvies arent allowed to make films involving sex workers like its clear they rly dont wanna learn or care and blame us for their failed relationships
