As is the way of the world now, someone videoed her mouthing off, just before she got shot, and I got sent the video on a WhatsApp group. She was basically threatening the shooter, and telling them that “she doesn’t do threats, just promises” and “ would they like to take it outside, so she could show them about her promise”. Well it seems they did, and she came off worse.
Do you mean the bit of video from July last year that was linked to on the first page of this thread?https://mobile.twitter.com/HappyHarryMedia/status/...

It was looking at the points you raised.
Gangs and Violence
Absent fathers.
Taking responsibility
Vaccines is only a 2021 issue it is not something that BLM could even discuss when they were formed.
Absent fathers is a huge issue in America Jamaica Botswana and South Africa and so on.
He’s not in a gang, I don’t think he’d have the time. There are also remarkably few groups of Yardies operating in South Northumberland.It was looking at the points you raised.

His dad wasn’t really absent, although being a GP too he did work long hours.
I don’t know that the Somali lady would have to worry about those either.
I think I’m maybe starting to think that putting someone into a box based on their reflectivity isn’t very useful.

Rather than exclusively shame men who abandon their kids, it's worth a balanced view including mothers who make it impossible for the kids fathers to tolerate sticking around.
My (not deeply researched) view is that couples who aren’t in a properly committed relationship deciding to have a baby is mental. The couple then not even giving a decent shot at forming a proper family unit is shameful, and that shame falls on the couple, their peer group, and their own parents who seem to have not brought them up with much sense.My wife and I had children quite late. We waited until we were as certain as we could be that we were together for life, and until we were pretty financially secure. This was how an awful lot of my friends and colleagues did it as well. A sixteen year-old having a baby with a local gangster because he seems cool is making the wrong decision from the point of view of what’s good for society.
One problem that we have in dealing with this is the organisation of the benefits system, which makes it a decision that the state will make sure doesn’t lead to any hardship. This is for understandable reasons, as the child should not suffer, but it makes it very hard to break the cycle of teenaged mothers and absent fathers.

Not all black people suffer from the above. But the issues that plague some parts of our black population, are the same that effect black populations all round the round the world.
The Gangs violence and absent father issues aren’t unique to black people in the U.K.

The point was that lumping together the “black” experience as someone above did makes no sense. There’s no one thread running through the experience of black people the world over that is different to people of another colour. My mate at school had a life experience pretty close to mine. Far more like mine than that of a black person in Somalia.Not all black people suffer from the above.
