BLACK LIVES MATTER: everyday racism, white privilege, performative activism - an open conversation

Ehis Ilozobhie and Jack Edwards hosted a fundraiser Instagram live on #blackouttuesday to raise money for The Bail Project. They raised £2231 and discussed a range of issues in an open conversation about Black Lives Matter, white privilege, university, everyday racism, performative activism and more. Donate to The Bail Project: https://bailproject.org/ The StudyTube Project stands with the black community and will continue to use all of our platform for the greater good. We will continue to help spread awareness and do so in a way that doesn’t take the focus away from the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Here are a few resources you can look through to educate yourselves on the matter and be actively anti-racist: 🎥 Videos: Ehis’ video: /watch/s4=t&w9-mKDBi_nVit Vee’s video: /watch/0L0_R81_gEg__ Tolu’s video: /watch/UDC6W6cnePhn6 Jade’s video: /watch/s7=t&oDdTK5VNmTNNt Eve’s and Tolu’s Instagram Live: /watch/YkYV4eXkgFhkV 📚Books: Why I’m No Longer Talking to White People About Race - shorturl.at/vxDK0 Taking Up Space - shorturl.at/djozY White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism - shorturl.at/adL36 Me and White Supremacy - shorturl.at/doDE1 Natives - shorturl.at/iyMWX I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings - shorturl.at/hsCU3 So You Want to Talk About Race - shorturl.at/beqQ3 How To Be an Antiracist - shorturl.at/iIOX3 📺Films and TV series: NETLIX: When They See Us 13th Dear White People HULU: If Beale Street Could Talk The Hate U Give Selma 🎙Podcasts: 1619 About Race Code Switch The Diversity Gap Intersectionality Matters!
