A good question to ask is where am I going with this? what results am I looking for?, what will happen differently when the results are in? As a child I never celebrated black history, I dont remember much about any historical figures, I dont remember my mum, dad or granparents telling me about role models or heroes [...]

This timeline is pretty useful. For history in an British school or education system. They are right of course, those who would argue it’s Eurocentric. Though no reason to dismiss it. It’s good for passing history exams in this country true enough! And it gives good references points for orienting our heads around annals of [...]

The Culture Clash franchise rolls on. Jamaicans in Bristol in the latest in the line of films that begin circa 2005. The first film was commissioned to look at conflicts between Somali and Caribbean heritage young men in the area. (An issue that has had history though does not prove to be a endemic problem. [...]
Anticipating Obama Day.
Posted in Politics, dirty laundry, multiculturalism, tagged Obama on November 7, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This is something I wrote for another purpose a few days before Obama became president . I’ve tweaked it slightly just to make it self-contained so it can be read as a stand alone article. I was going to write a new article now Obama has won but decided not to. All I’ll write [...]
Something in the Air…

There’s something in the air
On Obama day.
Something shifted in the ether
between I and I, you and me.
There’s something in the air today
here in the UK,
as across the globe
Black folk exchange glances with new scopes
Audacious hope
They now hold,
feeling bold.
There’s something,
New self-love?
Shared knowing?
New Pride is tangible for sure.
Maybe Love for their new white sisters and brothers,
emanates from [...]
“Currynomics”

Bristol2007 is quite literally speechless in the latest twist in the narrative of Multicultural Britain. Even more surprised than Trevor Phillips today saying he sees where Enogh Powell was coming from. This story – displayed here in-full copyed from the BBC – is so bizarre it couldn’t have been invented. Absolute genius on their part!
The [...]

Australian Kylie Minogue, Yorkshireman Michael Parkinson and Londoner Jazzie B all get awarded in the Queen’s New Year Honours list.
I personally don’t think there’s anything much more British than Soul II Soul. LOL

The parents of these children went to school together and continue to be friends today.
Notice the St George cross on the boy’s arm. He wears it with pride, and so he should.
The father of the black child was wearing an Ethiopian flag badge. He wore it with pride also, and so he should.
Mere symobls of idenity [...]

The last days of the British Empire
Posted in Africa, Bristol, education, multiculturalism, windrush, tagged abolition, Bristol, british empire and commonwealth museum, multiculturalism on November 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s a blow to the cultural “offer” of the city that the Commonwealth museum is moving to London. In it’s short time in Bristol it has hosted a wealth of exhibitions and events that have aimed to raise poignant questions for the whole city; for those born here and for those born elsewhere.
That said, there are also [...]

(The location for the shoot was the ‘passenger shed’ of the Empire & Commonwealth Museum. It could have been filmed in any large empty space, and it [...]
