Ally . All Life -no matter. White Privilege .

These Are just a few of The Words and phrases, You may have seen, or Many of these conditions in the discussion of racial inequality after the

on race and activism Are controversial and people often have different ideas of what is the meaning of certain phrases. Their Life experiences will also affect how You define this. So Radio 1 news chat was beat with a couple of people for their interpretations and perspectives.

Kehinde Andrews is a professor of black studies at Birmingham City University, Director of the centre for Social research, founder of the organization of Black unity, and co-chair of The Black Studies Association. JT flowers is a 26-year-old American rapper, students, and activists living in the UK.

White Privilege

White Privilege - a term that some find it annoying and offensive - refers to the concept that the people's Basic Rights and benefits, simply they Are white because. It does not mean that You have suffered hardship, or that your color has not don ' T have a hard Life - only made it more difficult.

JT feels Some People get defensive, because this term understood it wrong.

"You could be a white person and still be poor, and a lack of access to education, or face a language barrier in the workplace. It does not mean that they Are not disadvantaged in any other way," he says Newsbeat. "It only means, with respect to this one particular Thing - their race and skin color - You do not have the luxury of being able to think.

"It means that the luxury, step out in the location, without having to fear that they Are discriminated or in any way, because of the color of their skin," he says.

The latest statistics from the Ministry of interior and Ministry of justice show:

Kehinde believes that the advantages can be of white, "psychological" and "it is not an advantage for white, because they Are treated in the same way. "

"There Are a number of different dimensions, Some People have more privileges. "

Kehinde tells us the phrase "White Privilege " was first written to explain the famous black civil rights activist, William Du Bois in The 1930S , such as the white workers In America , benefited from segregation and the color of their skin.

Many claim that Black People must be treated with an additional burden of worrying about how they Are , because how people perceive You . Speaking in a special show on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Dj Ace , a "big Black Man with a beard said," people find him "scary".

"I have to Live With this, all day, Every Day and in every scenario.

"I am aware that my aesthetic is scary to some White People . Sometimes I could "tone it down' and that makes me uncomfortable".

"When I see a White Woman coming down The Street I might cross, so she feels more comfortable. "

Slogans such as these were to be seen at protests, but rather have seen that online-White-Savior

White Savior, is generally used to describe someone who seems to believe that certain communities"need to save".

"It is a concept that this idea that marginalised communities, especially The Black community, is not capable enough to free Themselves ," says JT.

He says in the online space, and activism, it is used in the rule, to the point, if someone "takes it upon himself to speak on behalf of the Black People , or marginalized people," sometimes without understanding the circumstances.

JT says in the ideal case, should the people "create talk space for Black People for Themselves ".

Last Year , Stacey Dooley was Relief in Uganda for Comic, and posting a picture on Instagram of her with a Black Child .

At The Time , MP David Lammy , said: "The World needs more white Savior". Stacey Dooley insisted it was "nothing sinister" about what she wanted - and she said,

after the line, Comic Relief 's co-founder, The Writer and Director Richard Curtis said, is to show the love benefit would be to give less and less prominent in her films, and "be very careful, votes to people" who live in the areas.

Ally / allyship

At first glance, this seems to be a contradiction to the "white Savior".

JT describes an Ally as "a person who is ready to stretch out her neck and Standing Up for what is right, when You realize that something is Going Wrong ".

Often, this is someone outside of the community You Are trying to help - so also in this case, it could also be White People that want to support The Black community.

"It's what White People do?" tells Kehinde.

JT believes, an Ally must do, as a "white Savior" and "take some of the risk and the cost of actually Standing Up for justice."

"What we Are trying to do in The States , move the Dialog to a place, to think about where people start, what would it look like his accomplice.

He believes that The Best way to get an accomplice to a "free space for Black People to speak for Themselves . "

JT says it is not enough to be an Ally , You need to. people an "accomplice"

All lives matter

This is often as a reaction to the phrase "black lives matter"-The Feeling by Some People that all live in The Conversation about race

JT believes that people who say that can't understand what the "black lives matter" means sentence.

"imagine burning in front of your house and someone comes to You and says, 'Hey, all the houses no matter. '

"your answer would be along the lines of," yeah, but your house is not On Fire , so that, if all the houses that matter, and your house is in order, then why is it so much to ask that You to care if My House is On Fire ?'"

JT thinks We Live in A Society in which - at the moment, "black lives Are not valued in the same way that the white Life . "

thousands of people turned out to protest against racism in London, Manchester and Cardiff

Silence = violence

Again, a controversial phrase that basically means, that The Best way to a Problem is correct is to talk about it and remain calm, explain what's going on.

"It is effective only with the idea that the Status Quo , to present to our everyday reality, is a violent Black People ", says JT.

"to speak of the refusal or failure, You have to be okay with things, like.

"You do not have to publish something on Social Media , in order to act and live your Life in an anti-racist way. If You see that something goes wrong on a road, You can talk and Do Something . "

JT realized, many people may feel uncomfortable, speak or feel, it is not your place.

"If You find that You feel unequipped to have conversations with people about race, You can take The Time to educate Themselves .

And, doesn't have to mean posting on Social Media , it may simply talk about the start to be honest about the race with the closest to You .

"You have conversations with Your Friends and Family Members . "
