Like many people I watched the video of the killing of George Floyd with a quiet disbelief. That someone can kneel on the neck of a fellow human being and think that is acceptable I find shocking. . What is more shocking is that the racism that led to Mr Floyd’s death goes on under my nose and across the world and I barely notice; I am privileged that society over the years has favoured both men and people with white skins.
As a strong advocate of Diversity and Inclusion at work and as the chair of our D&I council progress has been made particularly in the relationship between men and women but its clear we and I have a lot more to do.
But I do see a lot of comment about all lives mattering. And I thought I’d share the following as I think this gives a really simple explanation of why Black Lives Matter.
There is so much to be done but I am going to play my part and make a difference if I can.
