Yeah she is now part of the social media mama goddess cult that seem to spend more time hyping each other up as otherworldly heroes than caring for their children.
no it isn’t?It's a bit weird that Grace is half-black and half-white and she'd make a video entitled 'dear white people' as if she's forgotten the multiple sides of her heritage.
Ok but there’s a difference between understaffed/underfunded hospitals and racism in medical care, when you confuse the two, you are taking away from the importance of the latter.
Exactly. it’s putting a bummer on the thread tbh. Of all the things we can witch about (and there’s a lot of material to pick at) it’s really tit, boring and wrong to minimise and gloss over any issues she’s had as a black woman. Leave that alone.Disgusting that when black people point out disparities in the standard of care, people rush to minimise their experiences.
this tweet?I’ll have to try and dig up the quote, this is all memory from late night Twitter scrolling (terrible idea). But the tone of it was far less about the very real and serious issue that is medical bias and really suggesting that doctors were out to crazy murder black women like the (mostly American) police do to black men. It wasn’t informative, it was inflammatory. And of course, making Grace out to be a victim and center of it.
I don’t know, it’s a very nuanced issue and I feel like comparing the two minimises the police issue, completely twists the medical issue and would potentially stop women of color from seeking medical attention, ultimately exacerbating the problem.
Yeah but don't forget she's also part greek cos her mum tans really easily.... does anyone remember thatIt's a bit weird that Grace is half-black and half-white and she'd make a video entitled 'dear white people' as if she's forgotten the multiple sides of her heritage.
Omg yes! God I feel like I've spent wayyy too much of my life watching youtubers hahahaYeah but don't forget she's also part greek cos her mum tans really easily.... does anyone remember that
Yeah I’m not comfortable with some of the undertones of the messages I’ve been reading on here.Exactly. it’s putting a bummer on the thread tbh.

Unfortunately there isn’t. Serena Williams the world championship tennis player, married to Reddit founder Alex Ohanian, so very very wealthy, almost died in labour. Beyoncé Knowles also had a rough time during her last pregnancy. I know they’re American and not British, but it sadly seems to be a similar story for black women in other developed countries too regardless of their socio-economic status.Of course not but it's interesting to notice that the world is bigger than the UK (and the USA) and mentalities are different too. The one drop rule is not a thing everywhere.
Do we know (studies) if there is a difference of treatment between British BAME people and BAME people who are immigrants (including those who have a different language of origin)?.And difference of treatment depending on wealth?
I think the USA is a peculiar case though. Not so long ago (the 60's), racial segregation was the law in certain states. Still today, everything seems related to your origins. Like pretending you are Italian when even your great grand parents were already born in the USA. Weird.Unfortunately there isn’t.

Please name one of the “many” places in Africa where she wouldn’t be considered black.Yet in many places in Africa, she wouldn't be considered black.
