Treated — as if our lives, in fact, dont matter. and we know better than that, so we wanted to go out and create a platform and a network that allowed us to come together, to share our concerns, to amplify our voices and call the attention of the world to join in to create a world where, one day, all lives might matter. duwayne brooks, fair point opal makes or not? i think fair point. in answer to the question, do all lives matter? yes, they do, but all of our lives are precious. no one has th...

And i firmly believe that only when black lives matter, - then all lives will matter. ok, thanks. lets go now to singapore to carma elliott for her question. what do you want to ask? i want to ask the panelists how and why is black- lives matter relevant - to our global community, for example in southeast asia, as we start to see _ asian hate attacks. is black lives matter a us uk issue? - well, as i said, black is deemed anyone with non—white skin, but the slogan, which is a political one, do...

By the group of people youre following? do you have the same values, the same wants? if you dont, the outcomes being promised may never be within your reach, but because youre emotionally caught up, you will continually be part of a movement like blm, which only benefits those people at the top. is there light at the end of the tunnel? i believe so. are we seeing positive outcomes? i believe so. but to come back to my main point, be true to yourself. opal tometi. what ive seen is that we are mak...

The reason i say this, is without political activism, it has no traction from the public, but its the same political activism that is turning people off. there is no question that black people around the world seem to face the same sort of discrimination, and there is no question that a movement is required to force governments to change legislation. but unless we deal with the high percentage of black on black hatred, black lives matter will fade away and life will go back to how it was before ...

And some of the other political slogans, or is it something thats leading to substantial action? far from substantial action. these symbols, likewise, pulling down statues in the uk, they have no impact on the issues you face in your everyday life. blm was politcised in the us as a strategy to remove president trump, and was pushed around the world by the media. but the direct answer to blessings question, we must not allow our emotions to dictate our responses and conscious thinking. we should ...

Processes disappear and emotion takes over. the sad thing is that in america, you cant find an independent organisation to provide the report that would even answer this question fairly. but i live in the uk, and here in the uk we have 43 police forces. the met, which polices london, was found to be institutionally racist in 1999. since then, weve had the lammy report that looked into our criminaljustice system, which is similar to the judicial institutions in the states. there was found no syst...

Incredibly important and something we seen throughout history. dr martin luther king, gandhi, so many others engaged in civil disobedience. they have written books about it and talked about it over the years, so we are following in a similar tradition that we see around the world. its not a big deal, but its also important methodology because often times, issues were concerned about go without redress. they dont get attention, until we muster up the courage and say enough is enough. were going t...

The same as our fellow counterparts, but because we are black, we can see that black people are highly policed. were only 14% of the population. the fact we also see that black people are incarcerated at 40% of the prison population rate versus the fact that were 14% of the population, you see the disparate impact on black people. duwayne brooks? opal speaks about what happened in the states. ive never lived there, never been policed by any police in the states. i only know what the media tells ...

And she wrote this paper. this is one of the few studies done on apetamin. hello. nice to meet you. my first question is, when did you first find out about apetamin? i had a patient who came into our liver clinic and she was complaining of fatigue. she was jaundiced, so her skin was yellowed. her own body was fighting her liver. do you know how serious it could have been if she was to perhaps continue taking it? its hard to know what would have happened, she could have full liver failure had she...

Influencer, so inspirational, and ijust really like her body. i feel like you have to look a certain way if you want to make it big. i dont think it isjust me, i feel like there are plenty other models and girls out there that feel like they need to change themselves due to what they see on social media. people are doing a lot of crazy things to get that slim thick body. like taking apetamin, an unlicensed medicine that is definitely not made to be used for boosting your bum. today i will be rev...
