In a world where one type of people are constantly demonised by nearly all the media, and by ( god help us) the party that looks like it’s going to win the next election, as a man that runs a community page with the clue that’s in the name of it.. about humanity and compassion and building a better community, there’s an expected amount of people that will be triggered by a lovely story that doesn’t quite fit their narrative. Those comments are mostly removed .. as I never have ever heard of those people and know they’ve never contributed anything to this page or group except trolling it.
Something more insidious though is in play here .. it may look like people saying ‘you don’t have to say he’s a Muslim’ then find on their own page many posts just about Muslims. There is a weight of expectation here, unconscious possibly, to accept a mob rule narrative and not to speak out positively for our friends and neighbours in community. Fighting prejudice means it not enough to stay silent. So I’ll reiterate, whether you’ve lived here 50 years or 5 minutes, you’re black, white brown or have green spots, whatever your sexual preference or faith, you are part of this community group. You will receive help if we can give it, and you will be welcome to it.
If you don’t know what unconscious prejudice looks like, here’s a comment from a now blocked person, who In a story about a Muslim man giving away free food to people struggling on Xmas day, just incredibly flags up his own fear, media manipulation and general unhappiness.
So. Just so you know. It’s called PEOPLE FOR PEOPLE.. not People for some people.
