I don't understand with the curriculum why we learnt about the slave trade in America, with the cotton fields and plantations, but didn't cover the UK being instrumental in shipping slaves.

Or that we learnt about America and segregation, and Rosa Parks, but didn't get taught about the laws brought in post war that favoured war criminals over black empire immigrants, because they were white.

Almost like its easier to point the finger to how awful America was, without admitting Britain isn't great

See all the discussions. Just imagine if we had followers on a platform nearing 1million, and children at school, and could try and be a catalyst for change...... Shame they sold out for a sink instead

YES!! Everything you have said. There's now actual racism legislation so you can't directly do it but boy can you do it indirectly. The 'agressive' black woman is a racist trope. Now regardless of what you think of Candice Braithwaite, what happened to her was despicable and the statistics show time and time again that BAME women's health outcomes are shocking (regardless of wealth or class, see Serena Williams's birth story). Alice's comments were basically saying she was weaponising her experience (I believe she nearly died of sepsis). Correct me if I'm wrong. But for a midwife to do that is shocking.

OMG... when you put it like that it’s astounding. They had A MILLION people listening to them and they.... sold a sink.

yes according to the book she nearly died, horribly, in an entirely preventable way, and the medics in charge of of her care admitted their failings

I'm black and can you believe the same thing happens to me? Swiftly followed by " i don't mean you, you're different" this happens in France and when I'm back in the UK.

Unfortunately, I do feel that Clemmie's dismissive and offensive attitude is pretty rife in the NHS. Anyone that questions anything is written off as an irritant or unstable. No woman should have to shout or y'know, nearly DIE before they are heard.

Many years ago I went to the Wilberforce house museum in Hull and is very educational about the transatlantic slave trade (he was the mp who first brought the abolition to parliament). It was very sobering - shame they don’t teach those things at school! A bit off topic but thought may be useful

Totally. My other half went to a film premiere with work and ended up with the tech guys. He had a great time. He’s yet to decide how best to align himself to the celebrity world though. I’ll keep you all posted.

My boyfriend works with A listers every day (pre Covid lol) and I can tell you now we live in a standard two bed, drive an OK car and definitely don’t pretend we have a high life rubbing shoulders with Beyoncé. We do attend weddings etc of said A listers, but we’re just two northern people, living a normal life lol. It’s mad how people can let something like that go to their head, i’d never want to be famous and we never talk about it to anyone (I’m anon so can on here ). I’d honestly hate to be famous and everything that comes with it

I also think maybe a father's day post until then my money is staying quiet.

I didn't know about CB's childbirth history and to be honest it does change my previous view. Childbirth is a time when a women is most vulnerable. You either get a good midwife or a crappy one and that can have a huge impact on your experience. I was reading the childbirth horror stories thread here and I did feel sad reading a women being told to "stop her woe is me act" when she was clearly in pain. Not everyone can afford an independent midwife/ a doula or a stay at the Portland. If I already knew that I had a higher chance of dying during childbirth and not being listened to because of my race I too would not be comfortable with Clemmie's comments.
