Racism is back in the news with the comments made by Stormzy, which was followed by racist abuse suffered by Chelsea player Rudiger. Whenever racism is discussed, there is a lot of finger pointing, and finding short-terms solutions, for a problem that has been around for decades. Of course, there’s been progress, compared to the 20th, 19th, 18th century etc. However, the events of the last decade has shown there has been a massive step backwards, with racism and hate crimes on the rise.
So how do we tackle racism and aim to eradicate this disease. Well we have to look at institutional racism. Unless we tackle institutional racism, we will continue living in a loop of progress and regress. What exactly is institutional racism? This is racism that is in the foundations of our society. Institutions like our politics, media, judiciary system, education etc. Unless we tackle racism in all of our institutions, we will not be able to eradicate racism. Racism will continue, and racist will be able to spread their hateful words and ideologies to others, especially to the future generations.
Islamophobic Planet
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The parable of the believers in their affection, mercy, and compassion for each other is that of a body. When any limb aches, the whole body reacts with sleeplessness and fever.”
We are living in some really dark times. We are witnessing, not just in the UK but around the world, is a great deal of hatred and violence, especially against minorities. Many powerful governments have philosophies and ideologies which are very dangerous. The fact that some of these governments have been “democratically” elected shows what kind of society we are living in.

Vote Labour
According to the recent YouGov poll, this is how close it is in Dewsbury. Labour only lead by two points at the moment. It is too close for comfort. Dewsbury is not a safe seat. Therefore, tomorrow we all have to get out and vote for Labour, especially if you're in Dewsbury.
Two Faced United Kingdom
During this election, the topic of racism and discrimination has been widespread, with accusation been thrown at both the Leader of the Conservatives and the Labour Party. Although, the topic has been discussed constantly, very little is actually being done by the establishment to actually tackle the issues being discussed. It is very much the blame game at the moment, with little constructive discussions taking place.
One man has been constantly attacked by the media, politician and the public for either being Anti-Semitic or his role in tackling the problem. Jeremy Corbyn has faced the full force of attacks by the establishment. Every interview he does, the topic of Anti-Semitism is brought up, even when the event is about something completely different. On the other hand, the media do very little to hold an actual racist to account. Boris Johnson is playing politics on easy mode. A comparison of the two will show that Johnson has been given an easy ride for this comments and track record. On top of that, the media never talk about the racism and discrimination in other parties and also the discussion very rarely looks at the problem society has with racism and discrimination.
