It’s not a conflict. Palestinians cannot ‘clash’ with apartheid rule while they’re being ethnically cleansed and murdered in their homes. The two sides are not equal in any sense. Liberation vs Oppression. Considering Britain’s role, the miscoverage by the media is intentional

My close friend Jas was sexually assaulted and radar radio used sports direct to cover it up. This is the kind of shit woc deal with in music. We’re bored of gender movements focusing on white women while we suffer. Silence is violence.

Saying Grime isn’t Black is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve heard in my life. Also nonsensical because it took white validation / praise before it was accepted by the mainstream. Was vilified by news outlets and music journos, Form 696 etc and the tories for years.

We need to throw the entire music industry away at this point. There’s way too much to unpack in all of these ‘statements’ that no one asked for. And I’m seeing Black people once again do all the emotional and intellectual labour. This is one of the main components of racism.

White DJs, producers, promoters, journalists, label / venue owners etc have created a climate of fear. POC cannot critique / oppose the current state of the industry without it impacting their careers. This is racism in action. Until this is addressed nothing will truly change.

Nothing has changed in dance music. I’ve wasted so much time, effort and had so much hate / disrespect for absolutely no reason. How can the BLM movement be worldwide and it’s still not enough? Techno is liberation music for Black people but its still the same bullshit for us

Please research the organisers of any protests in London before going!!!! We can’t risk having a repeat of 2011 and the harsh sentencing that followed, including innocent people! It’s okay to take time to rest, plan and organise together.
There have been blatant attempts to bait our community, especially young people, into protests and kettle and do mass arrests. These flyers coming out of nowhere with no organisation or name behind it look very suspect to me.

The advice I have now for people like me who are trying to get more involved in music, DJing, promoting, writing etc is that you don’t have to compromise your art or who you are. It might take a while but there are people out there who genuinely care and want you to succeed.

A community isn’t a circle jerk friendship group, where everyone is the same. A community is a proactive (!!) collective of people where the most marginalised are prioritised and protected. A lot of communities in dance music are groups of ‘nice’ cis straight white people

We absolutely do not need to go back to normal. ‘Normal’ means accepting that the system designed to oppress marginalised groups should continue. Normality only benefits the 1%. This is absolutely the time to examine Class Consciousness.

Black Women have been speaking up about racism / sexism in dance music for years. We were ignored and silenced every single time. Now it’s apparent there’s a problem. Before you tweet that you’ve clocked it, think about the ways you’ve harmed us and what you can do to fix that.

People will do anything but sit down and have a “difficult” conversation about race. We’re still stuck at “HOW DARE YOU CALL ME RACIST” instead of just simply taking a step back and listening and learning from others. Always those who haven’t read a single book on Blackness lol

We are 100% being lied to about the amount of murders in police custody in the U.K. by the police. Growing up in London you constantly hear from people close to you about someone who has died under mysterious circumstances. It is never reported or investigated.

There are absolutely no circumstances where it is okay for someone to be anti-Semitic, racist, transphobic etc because I’m seeing a lot of Mental Health excuses on the TL. A lot of us really struggle with MH and as basic as this is, is never an excuse for any type of violence.

The collective lack of accountability is so widespread, its established itself as the norm. It’s manifested in the people around you. Public conversations happen for a few weeks then dies down until it resurfaces about someone else. This is a social and systematic issue.

This is the most fucked up thing. Also saying you’re anti-racist and support women etc doesn’t make it so just because you’ve said it. This account is in response to the current push for equality. Their use of ‘woke’ here is clearly racist. Intersectionality is Black feminism.

The reason why white people and non black POC think doing the bare minimum e.g. liking someone’s post or retweeting or making an insta story, is sufficient is because they’ve never had to navigate the structural anti-Blackness in dance music while also benefiting from it

There is no singular struggle of oppressed people that takes precedence over another. Our fight for freedom is interconnected and has the same roots. We must not forget this during our own paths to liberation. International solidarity is the only way we can ever truly be free.
