I love the clap back 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Sis is sick and tire of those people.😂😂😂😂

When you have a people who's shameful culture is, murdering, raping, brutalizing, theft, invading, kidnapping, colonizing, and slavery, to make them feel better, they hijack another people's culture and claim it as their own. Melanated people's culture IS NOT something to be played with, it is not a game, it is not a trend, it is not fashionable, and it is not a costume.

For the native poet like myself, that is where the nostalgia comes from. All the places where my poetry came from have been taken over by hotels. And they now squat upon my metaphors.

Do not consult the dead 💀

I forgot to mention the VAGABOND spirit could be at play on your family or his family. This spirit prevents people from settling down. These individuals are always on the move. They can’t stay in one place with one lover. Seek deliverance from this wicked spirit. It is affiliated with CAIN.

She has not just been raped and murdered, she was very much tortured and brutalized like Nirbhaya. It is all over the Bengali news. I don't understand why no one is talking about this.

A 2nd year Respiratory Medicine in a well known government medical college in Kolkata, West Bengal, India is found in a semi-naked state and the college/ hospital called it a suicide.

I'm a MBBS student in second year. After reading about her, what crossed my mind is the amount of times she would have felt this fear, before this worst fear of hers eventually materialized.

"A young resident doctor was found dead in the seminar room of her medical college in Kolkata. Initial autopsy report suggests possible rape and murder."

As all are saying,

She wasn't walking the street at odd hours. She wasn't wearing clothes that were provocative. She wasn't loitering in dangerous neighbourhoods.

She was a resident doctor, looking for a place to rest in her own hospital.

She had been on duty and had gone to rest in the early hours of Friday.

The one place which was supposed to guarantee her safety failed her, miserably.

Someone comes, rapes a female pg who is merely resting in a seminar hall because there is no proper place for her to rest, brutalized her and kills her. How did NO one know? The college and police initially call it a suicide. Excuse me? It is also being said that under pressure from local politicians, the Principal and Dean attempted to alter the post-mortem report. Autopsy confirms sexual assault.

What are the actions taken? One man arrested because his behavior seemed "shady". This is clearly not an act of one man. And this was a very well aware of and a well executed criminal act.

Also, all this happening in WB right when the situation of bangladesh is in turmoil and news of Bangladeshi Hindus being killed and tortured, seems wrong, VERY WRONG. Happening right before NEET-PG, as 24 lakh doctors prepare to write an exam on Sunday to be resident doctors, this news has wrapped us all in agony and rage,

What are they working so hard for? Why should they aspire to be in a system that ignores their basic needs? The minimum requirement of a workplace is safety. That should be non-negotiable.

This profession demands extereme hardwork, a lot of mental strength and Physical Assaults, harassment, low paying jobs with odd working hours with intense humiliation. Now its the worst of all seeing a bright mind losing her life in the most disrespectful state of all. This should never happen to any woman.

I'd also like to question why isn't any big media house covering this news, where are all the international news channels all this time.

What are the students in other medical colleges doing? This talks about their own safety and lives. What are the medical students across the world doing? It's time for us to stand for the most basic Human right, safety.

Yesterday when my roommate, an MBBS final year intern was heading for her night posting, I feared and prayed for her to come back safely. Thinking about it, in a few years I will also have night posting, I'll also return from my hospital duties late at night. I'll also have to go through the same fear, and I'll also have to keep praying that my worst fears don't turn into reality. So many female doctors, nursing staffs, other Healthcare workers, other working women, non-working women go through the same fear, probably multiple times a day.

It is a shame to be born in such a disgusting world and society, it is shame to witness such a brutal crime, and it is a shame to live in this fear daily.

Those RAPISTS need to be hunged infront of the whole natio...if needed burned alive. People should fear the idea of raping, more than getting raped.

Today is international women's day so I'm gonna share some important women in Black British history. Let's go:

Mary Seacole - British Jamaican nurse who self-funded her own travel to the Crimean War zone after the government refused to let her help look after injured and sick British soldiers. She set up the British Hotel and treated a range of diseases.

Claudia Jones - Trinidadian activist and feminist who created Britain's first Black newspaper, the West Indian Gazette. She also helped establish Notting Hill Carnival, a celebration of West Indian culture in London every year and one of the world's biggest street festivals.

Barbara Beese - British activist and writer. She was a member of the British Black Panthers and was one of the Mangrove Nine, tried at the Old Bailey for inciting a riot. Beese held up a pig's head at the Mangrove Demonstration to fight against police violence from the Metropolitan Police Force.

Olive Morris - Jamaican feminist and activist. She campaigned for squatter's rights and created one of Britain's first organisations for Black women, the Brixton Black Women’s Group. She also created a supplementary school for Black children.

Althea Jones-LeCointe - Trinidadian physician and researcher. She became the leader of the Black British Panthers after Obi Egbuna's arrest and she was a member of the Mangrove Nine along with Barbara Beese. The Mangrove Nine trial became the first acknowledgements of systemic racism in British history and the nine won the trial and got suspended sentences.
