Please sign this petition calling for the release of bodycam+CCTV footage from Mohamud Mohammad Hassan’s arrest and time in police custody. It’s been nearly 1 year: Who contributed to the death of Hassan? If we don’t get them, they can get us all.

A radical campaign for Indy cannot be 100% run by white people in excluding people of colour: this is what racism looks like in public but naturally, we will be told it’s conscious+ unconscious bias, that they didn’t mean this, what can they do 2 not self perpetuate their racism

There’s nothing radical about ignoring yr siblings in solidarity while we experience an epidemic of the prison industrial complex, nothing radical about refusing to organize around borders when people r deported; nothing radical about a group of white people leading this campaign

because uniformly all white leadership or nearly all white leadership, a failure to have elected a BAME person- that’s the antithesis to an independent wales. Our struggles must match our communities or they won’t be successful in our communities.

The Ystumllyn rose is a new example of breaking new ground in tokenizing our history for the white gaze while creating new narratives about colonialism and slavery in Wales that refuse to interrogate colonialism and slavery

Does this break new ground on understandings of slavery in Wales? Who makes the money from the rose? Who gets the money from the rose? Why have those linked to the campaign made a number of false assertions about John’s life, like he was the first ethnic minority to speak Welsh?

he was kept as a slave: whether or not he was treated well doesn’t factor into it, and this is a trope about slavery and slave owners

Good point. Can you imagine: “look here Garett, I got this wonderful rose, named after our first black gardener. Was a slave you know, from the old Gold Coast.’ 🙄😑

They gave him a name after kidnapping him, and then name a rose after the name they gave him cos he was forced to be a gardener for his kidnappers. LOL. The wacky crazy world of colonialism. 💔

Diversity is a form of dissection. Under the current guidelines, BAME people are diverse but the Senedd is in the heart of one of the please Black communities in Britain: yet no Black woman from Wales has been elected to the Senedd.
