Shola Mos-Shogbamimu Instagram – Coconut is an upgrade not an insult! #TheyNotLikeUs Listen up people, the Met Police is arresting & prosecuting Black & Brown British for hate crime who call other Black & Brown British ‘Coconut’ ‘Coon’ “Uncle Tom’ etc etc. Yep it’s totally ridiculous.
FYI Coconut is neither racist nor hate crime. These terms are steeped in Black/Brown ppl addressing systemic harm of White Supremacy upheld in any form by other Black/Brown ppl. Don’t conflate difference of opinion with actual systemic harm of racial gatekeeping. | Posted on 25/Jun/2024 19:38:04
