I Hate Racism and Discrimination

I think the problem in the UK is the fact that it is only a small minority that make it difficult for blacks and other minorities in the UK .The press always cover the violence and drugs etc and this is what everyone sees .They dont mention the majority of blacks who are teachers , professors , mentors etc peace loving citizens who are disgusted with those who are giving the whole population a bad name .Because all people see is always the negative press they tar all minorities with the same brush .This has to change because it is just feeding racism and groups who are trying to push their own agenda of racism .

Direct quote from a friend of mine...

As a black person who was born and raised in the UK but never feeling accepted as just a human being. There is something that is not always visible at work in the interactions that I've had with various people that tell me that I am seen as less than others. I've had the funny looks, the comments, the police suspicion and the assumptions made about my level of competency or education within workplaces and on many deep levels I have had to process the hurt that comes with feeling that the place I've known all my life as my home is not accepting of me. I am always conscious of the colour of my skin wherever I go and that never leaves me. 🙏🏾

We still have widespread even endemic institutionalised racism throughout Britain. We have a long journey to go when great educated terrific people like my friend feels this way every single day.

@Rhodesianman I'm glad you do.

In that spirit then can I point out your username here may be potentially offensive to some black people harking back as it does to a country with a bad track record on segregation.
