@Golfergirl2018 @TomChivers But this shows heath services need to explain better what immunizations actually are and we need to combat the anti-vax movement. Doesn't help to imply people like this are stupid.

@wingcommander1 @sowadally I sometimes think white people are racist in order to avoid confronting the horrors of colonialism and slavery. If they start to acknowledge them then maybe they would fall apart with disgust and self- loathing so it's easier to continue to pretend some people are inferior?

@wingcommander1 @sowadally Thanks to the statue being pulled down, i've found out about Leopold and his psychopathic crimes such as this one. Feeling nauseous after the reading and so ashamed about being a white European person.
