Is there any thing I can sign up for to annoy a racist?

I have a deeply annoying, racist former colleague. They have a lot of power and influence over others.

Is there a charity I can donate to in their name? Or an organisation I can sign up to for them to receive mail at their company?

I remember people donated in the name of Mike Pence in the news.

Yes, I know what I am doing is unreasonable or petty. It makes me as bad as them, I know. I'm just angry and frustrated they won't be held to account.

How are you defining racism ?

Please support www.theblackcurriculum.com/schools instead. So much resource on British colonial past that is missed in the curriculum ...the main reason why so many are growing up ignorant

Tiana you want to listen? I have the perfect person for you. She is amazing

Thanks for your message. I am aware of her. Glad you have enjoyed reading her words. She says that white people need to educate themselves. I agree that is true. The common theme I see here, and across Mumsnet, and other social media is that white people trying to talk, even educate themselves through discussion, and some other people, both white and BAME are shutting down debate with accusations of racism. These accusations may at times be correct, and other times they are unfounded. This general approach however does not promote discussion or learning. If you (as in general you) do not want to discuss these issues or participate in education, because you (again as in general you) are tired of it then that's fine, you don't have to participate, no-one is asking you to. If you want change to happen, if you want white people to educate themselves, then shutting down other people's conversation is not the way to go about it. No-one benefits from that.
