Khady Gueye has experienced online backlash to a sculpture piece 'celebrating' ethnic minorities.

Khady and her friend Eleni Eldridge-Tull have set up the Local Equality Commission, which aims to support black and ethnic minority groups in rural areas.

"This sculpture piece is about exploring and celebrating black and ethnic minority people who live in these rural spaces, where they are in the minority population," she says.Khady Gueye "Some of the comments we receive are more dangerous and violent than direct racial slurs because people feel that's more easily explained away."

She feels it's important to set an example for the younger generation and give them "a platform to continue tackling racial injustice".

Good. This group is a farce. The idea is fine but unfortunately it’s funded and set up by rich and powerful people with an agenda. You all heard of George Soros? Absolutely disgusting man. Extremely wealthy. You think he cares about black people? He want division and conflict.

Why haven’t you reported 75 year old lady arrested and carried into police van for protesting against lockdown!?

Yall are so racist omg can there be a version of twitter made without yall?

Attention seeker seeks attention.

Why can't people get their head around the very simple concept that, you can be against BLM and their claims, whilst being against racism. The two are not mutually exclusive. Being against BLM does not mean you are racist.

BLM are now part of the problem not the solution.

We done, keep up the excellent work;

Perhaps it’s not her colour but her attitude people don’t like.

Why aren't they protesting about the black lives in Ethiopia

No one kneeling for the people, babies even, drowning in the english channe,l cherry picking which BLM.

Bore off will you

We are all equal to our own gender, We all matter You & your life is no different to anyone else’s in this small country If you live in this country your race is no different than the many that came here to call home, BLM You only alienate yourselfs out of the crowd

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Bbc stirring the pot

Hopefully it will get pulled down and tossed in a river as a mark of how much division this 'sect' is causing!!

Fundamentally she's a racist and the BBC are promoting her! What's going on?

Divisive identity bullshit.

In Lydney? Jesus, they don’t even like people from the next village, but racism? Maybe against an individual but not from/to everyone

BLM are the most RACIST movement. Why honour minorities Did they die any different than any other race. Simply RACIST

Why?

Not one f**k given about BLM

Forrest of Dean - hotbed of abuse for anyone with less than 6 digits on each hand👐🏾

Honoured for what?

All lives matter

Can you imagine if Tommy Robinson went to a predominantly non-white area in London or the Midlands and erected a monument commemorating 'the white experience'?

Was just watching Sky News documentary about how many people have expeienced racisim? No white people were on the panel yet white people face the most racism. It was weird.

I think we should promote “ all lives are equally matter” ... But many people are disagree with me.

Woman who likes the taste of attention realises the BBC have a soft spot for stories of racial division.

DefundTheBBC

This solves nothing and never will.

Anti-blackness isn't just in the US, it is worldwide

Why can't we all just celebrate being us....white, black, slim, fat...we're all humans ffs. Stop putting labels on ourselves and others....we're human!

Yes stop that black privilege, the race get the job first card, positive discrimination. Stop all that racist rubbish, all lives matter and are equal.....but may be not to her?

oh my so sad like the thousand of these tales from black people ,looking forward to the next saga to come ,most is pure rubbish like the SCUM BBC

BurnLootMurder 😡

Won't see me there

Perhaps they should stop dividing us by skin colour themselves

White people in Britain face a daily torrent of abuse from BAME who see us a fair game. Not a day goes by without some snide comment being made about us on TV/radio. Our history being revised, culture trashed, heroes mocked and statues removed from sight etc.

Good. They want equality, this is NOT equality. They say skin colour doesn't matter, it does when it suits them. People are sick of it.

How about concentrating on the majority of the country for a change...

Isn’t that divisive as it excludes people based on their ethnicity?

BLM is a marxist organization.

Please, enough of the identity divisiveness! It won't end well for either communities.
