The uncomfortable truth that our country continuously fails to recognise and admit, is that black people in the UK have been at a constant disadvantage in every aspect of life - simply due to the colour of our skin

I’m lucky enough to be in the position I’m in and I’ve heard people often dismiss the idea of racism existing in Britain by saying 'if the country’s so racist how have you become a success?!' and I reject that with this: I am not the UK’s shining example of what supposedly happens when a black person works hard. There are millions of us. We are not far and few

We have to fight against the odds of a racist system stacked against us and designed for us to fail from before we are even born. Black people have been playing on an uneven field for far too long and this pledge is a continuation in the fight to finally try and even it.

damn

crazy, what will they use the money for ?

king

Racist: (says something racist)
Stormzy: Shut up

Stormzy up like that?!! Tf

Legend

thats way more than some of the biggest celebrities in the world

He's massive in the UK, headlined Glastonbury in 2018

damn, respect

Cmon, nothing but respect

thats crazy..

title a little misleading though, it says:

The announcement commits the rapper to a long term plan, with the huge amount to be spread across 10 years.

I mean I love it but what are they going to do with 10 MILLIONS

Heavy is the head that wears the crown

King s*** my god

damn who gonna match this

dude better have 10 lawyers read over that s***

Theres already pan african saturday schools in the UK

but this could expand it even further to the point where kids of all races and class can learn about a more accurate history that isnt taught in the curriculum

e.g the idea that black people were sitting as slaves waiting for white saviours, which encourage a victimhood rather than a celebratory revolution mentality where rebellions against slavery were led by enslaved individuals like samuel sharpe

Barely follow UK rap but Stormzy always came off as a real one

I thot it was Travis Scott daughter for a second I was like say whaat

Going to go check out Stormzy now

Didn't know UK had that kind of schools and it would be great if the money was located to that kind of actions. 10M feels absolutely normal now that I think about it through that lens thanks for the details !

I haven't liked any of his songs since Shut Up but this has convinced me to give him another go

He's dropped plenty of good music since then that was half a decade ago

Did you not watch his Glastonbury set? Guys so humble, can't imagine how he felt as he stood in front of the biggest crowd you can obtain in the UK reflecting on his impact to the country as a young black man from Croydon ... Mad
