What's behind the "two-tier policing" conspiracy theory. As a wrote about in my book - "Overruled: Confronting Our Vanishing Democracy In 8 Cases" authoritarians (like the far right and their "mainstream" outriders) favour "false victimhood" narratives. These frame equal treatment as discrimination (in this case, discrimination against whites/the far right). These weaponise the liberation discourses, relied on by campaigners for racial/sexual/(etc) equality, by framing the oppressor as the victim. The overwhelming evidence suggests that black and asian people are subjected to coercive force by the police at a much higher rate than white people. The "two-tier" conspiracy theory is thus a fascinating case study in how far-right discourses are picked up and legitimised by mainstream politicians, commentators, and the media.

🔥 Chaos in NYC! 🔥 In what was supposed to be a day of celebration, a Pro-Hamas mob turned a mall into a scene of red with smoke bombs. This isn't just a disturbance, it's a glaring display of radical extremism. Is this even legal? Why the inaction from law enforcement? 🚫 Is this what we call a peaceful protest? Where's the line between expressing views and instilling fear? ✊ Radical extremism has NO place in our society, especially not on days meant for celebration. We're witnessing more than just a protest. It's an alarming shift towards violence and intimidation. This isn't about free speech, it's about public safety. Enough is enough. We can't let fear and extremism dictate our lives. This isn't the New York that anyone expects to see. Are you as concerned as I am about where this is headed?

Racism in the workplace is a pervasive issue that undermines inclusivity and perpetuates inequality. It is unacceptable in any form. Discrimination based on race not only harms individuals but also erodes trust, stifles creativity, and hampers productivity. Organizations must prioritize creating diverse and inclusive environments where all employees feel valued and respected regardless of their race or ethnicity. Addressing racism requires proactive measures, including robust anti-discrimination policies, cultural sensitivity training, and promoting diverse representation at all levels of leadership. Together, we must stand against racism and work towards building workplaces that embrace diversity and foster equality for all.

Working with the Racial Justice Act isn't just a professional choice; it’s a mission close to my heart. To be able to educate and advocate for fairness and equality is truly a blessing. This act is a game-changer in the fight against racial bias in our justice system. #PassionateAdvocate #JusticeEducation #RacialJustice

“Hatred is a danger to everyone–and so fighting it must be a job for everyone.” The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, also referred to as End Racism Day, serves as a chance to acknowledge and honor the efforts of individuals and groups who actively combat racial discrimination and the obstacles they encounter.
