I will stand today with black people because Black lives matter.
I will use my voice and educate myself and learn and listen and pass on the message to everyone and anyone.
I will ask my employers and work place and community what are they doing to make a change because there is only one race and it's the human race!!
I will not stop until there is justice, equality and peace.
We can all love again

I have always been a proud equalitarian and humanitarian who is truly colour blind to the world and judges people on who they are and what they do rather than the colour of their skin or their background. I work in an all white male environment and argued down a racist who complained about the attention given to the BLM movement. His casually racist comments over the preceeding weeks had angered me and after we butted heads (verbally) I was thanked and congratulated by others who said he needed putting in his place.
I calmly encouraged them to speak out too and not leave it to others. This is how we win the war for justice and equal treatment, by speaking out in the face of bigotry even when no-one of another ethnicity is around. I have acted this way in previous years in the face of prejudice in the workplace at other companies and hope that the majority who are fair-minded take my lead and constantly speak out, no matter how awkward or inconvenient, in the hope we will one day eliminate the privilege of unchallenged existence afforded to hate.
Thank you for what you are doing.
Peace and Love to all.

I’m white and ashamed of my privilege, and will be until the day that we have equality throughout the world.
Another shooting Another black man executed.
Another day we all should hang our heads in shame.

Hi Folks,
I am a white Scotsman who fully supports the movement & no longer want to be complicit in racism due to silence.
I will speak out & defend my brothers & sisters, & I want to educate myself more to help racism to be wiped out.
I want to subscribe to your newsletters & information as I don't participate in social media.
Thanks for all you are doing & keep up the good work.
Peace & love

Is there any way I can make a regular donation to BLM UK?
Thanks for all you are doing. White people like myself need to be doing so much more to support and raise up black voices.

Thanks you
Haley you or anyone else can use botton below and decide how much or how little you would like to donate, one off or regualary!
I will speak up against those who are racist - friends or strangers and ask them why. I will question my loved ones and family and keep the conversation going and current at the dinner table, in the park, in the classroom. I promise to acknowledge my students feelings and experiences and facilitate a safe space for them to discuss race. I will listen to them.
I am reading and researching and watching films and documentaries, attempting to educate myself, family, friends and colleagues. I will share what I learn.
I will question my own biases and I will keep checking in with myself and I will never be flippant about race and racism

I will not again excuse away racism because someone is either ‘old’ or has not been an active part of the multi-cultural nature of this country. I will challenge directly every time.
I’m sorry that I have not done this before, despite my own views. I understand the damaging impact of white silence.
I also commit to ensuring my daughter grows up as a conscious anti-racist.
Love and solidarity.

My friend posted online something that I did not agree with and in the past I would have just ignored it and carried on my day, but this year ... I've spent a lot of time reading, listening and watching since George Floyd was killed.
I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't give much thought to racism . But I'm learning all the time, and today when I read the post that was offensive I publicly responded to tell her that the information was not correct.
I plan to keep learning, keep taking opportunities to stop racism as and when they arrive and stop perpetuating white patriachy.

"I am a 41 year old white guy. I grew up in Derby and have never considered myself as racist.
However, I am ashamed to say that it was only today whilst discussing the murder of George Floyd that I realised that I had no idea what 'White Privilege' actually means.
I will break white silence by continuing to educate myself and calling out racial prejudice."

Black Lives Matter. I'm white and stand up to fight against racism, oppression and injustice. Lets end this racist scourge on our society and world. We as white people must take responsibility and challenge racism and injustice in our homes, communities, workplaces and institutions that continue to marginalise our black brothers and sisters. For to long our black brothers and sisters have had to live and deal with the daily trauma of injustice. Stand up, be proud, fight for what is right, Black Lives Matter

After hearing about George Floyd and the protests on the news, My 7 year old son asked me, "But dad, why are people nasty to people who are a different colour, we are all human and they're people just like us".
I was lost for words. I just hugged him tight and said you are right son and never let anyone tell you otherwise.

Hello Black Lives Matter, thank you for all you do.
I just wanted to say that as a straight, white middle class chap I realise that I have have had a lot power. Has my life been easy, well no but has it been as challenging as somebody of colour? Of course not.
Do I understand the realities faced by black people in the UK? Of course not but I can stand in solidarity and support you!

Tell us how you dealt with or will deal with racist remarks, act of discrimination; be it an everyday comment or a blatant performed act of racism.
Racism is Racism.
What will you say or what will you do next time?
Be part of the NEW Revolution that finds another way, a way to break white silence and mental chains of racism, so black people no longer have to continue to fight, an unjust fight they cannot win alone without solidarity of white citizens, white allies and or without uprising that only serves to hurts us all and breaks down society.
White silence perpetuates racism. End WHITE SILENCE.
Black people don't want to fight to survive they want to live another way, a just and fair way.
BUT until then black citizens will have little choice than to create BLACK NOISE and protest when confronted with a shield of WHITE SILENCE.
BLACK PEOPLE will fight even though their bodies are tired and rise to fight another day for justice and equality and fight for as long as it takes...
If you're white and anti-racist stand with us shoulder to shoulder, and we with stand to shine with you too!
Send us a message on how you have or will prepare to BREAK WHITE SILENCE.
We believe in a world where every person belongs
We reject racism that stands in the way.
MAKE THAT STAND WITH US!
ZERO TOLERANCE TO RACISM
