"Racism is a business."

Akalamusic breaks down in 3.34 minutes why people still cling onto racism-- it's a business. It's financially profitable- a global enterprise. I haven't seen this take in a while, and I think it's a very important one, even though it seems so obvious.

I’ve posted this on Instagram a while ago, thought I’d share this here too. It’s never too late to make an effort and get educated ❤️

Creating this painting has made me feel so heartbroken. How can you hate someone so much for their skin colour? Being someone who has experienced a lot of racism my whole life I still can’t fathom the brutality some of us are facing in the rest of the world. I am hoping this post will get people together and start a discussion. Because I know a large part of my followers probably don’t know what’s going on or don’t care. If you think none of this has to do with you because you don’t live in America, you are so wrong. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣I am aware that there are many other horrible things happening in the world and that is hard to keep up and care about all of them. But racism is something you can’t just ignore. It’s been here for so long and it won’t go anywhere anytime soon. It’s something someone either experiences it as a victim or an assailant. Then there’s the people in between. Which is probably a lot of you reading this. You might not be either one of them, but you might know someone who knows someone else and on and on. And till this issue is put down, which probably won’t happen during our lifetimes, it needs to be called out. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣I have been asking, begging, for people to speak up. If you feel scared or don’t have the words, share posts. Bring awareness to those around you. Help yourself and others grow. Take time to listen, to read. Talk to your family members and friends. Take time to support organisations and petitions and donate if you can. That is all I’m asking for.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

⁣

I took some time and gathered some resources I have found through other people. By all means this list is absolute. There is tons of other information you can look up yourself.

If this post gets to even only one of you I will be grateful.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

A very belated, massive thank you to everybody so far that has supported my last release. I am so, so grateful for that. Shout out to @bandcamp who are waiving their revenue shares today so all proceeds go directly to artists! 🖤 With that in mind I have decided to donate the proceeds of my last EP #livemeknot to two causes I believe in strongly: @_beamorg - a movement dedicated to creating a world where there are no barriers to Black healing and an amazing resource: @masi_movement_asylum_seekers to assist with direct provision in Ireland to provide justice, freedom and dignity to all asylum seekers. We all have the ability to influence positive change and if you have resources to spare, please look into donating to any of the many, many causes. Listen. Read. Educate. Sign petitions. @naacp is a great starting point. It may not be comfortable reading but it is well overdue. Join online and live protests while staying as safe as possible. Document where you can and try to interrogate any media you absorb. Call your local government. Email them, send them a letter if you can. Anybody wants to buy anything off my Bandcamp page today, I'll donate that too. Everything there is pay what you wish 🖤 Amazing Irish musicians and authors of colour worth following: @musicbyloah, an amazing composer and performer I have had the privilege to play with back in the day 💚 below recommendations copied from her: @emmadabiri who is a scholar and a great person with whom to learn from and this is her job and gift @akalamusic a rapper, academic and also an amazing person to learn from, he has countless videos online, lectures, panel discussions. #blacklivesmatter #enddirectprovision #blm #artists #silenceisviolence #nojusticenopeace #whitesilenceisviolence #violin #violinist #ep #liveep #livemusic #art #artist #composer (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBEMIYInw1M/?igshid=atbme7phrnwg
