Britain is racist and you can't change my mind

If you happen to be Black, a person of colour, or a reasonable white person of mind and understanding, then you’ve probably noticed that Britain is burning in a way it hasn’t done since the great fires of London in 1666. And I’m sure the devil’s number being in that year is not a coincidence.

I know things in the US have been whole new levels of garbage over the past few years and remain garbage. But lemme tell you that the grass sure ain’t greener on the other side from where Adele was screaming 6 years ago.

Here in the UK we're basically going through some form of what the US did during Trump’s presidency. All because crusty ass white people voted for a man who literally looks like Trump without Fenty shade 350 foundation. And now the UK is sliding into hell faster than Lil Nas X on a stripper pole.

Boris Johnson, this entire government and many of these white people here in Britain are out of control. And quite frankly, I'm pissed that COVID didn't tap dance in Boris Johnson's lungs when he caught it last year. I had the party poppers and the Bailey’s cream ready to pour for the announcement that man was on his journey to the Farplane. But nope.

I don't know what it is about racism that keeps these white men alive. The nigga hatred that runs through Prince Phillips' veins keeps his ass hanging on, when the Royal Guards shoulda been rolled his casket outta Buckingham Palace in 2003.

But here we are.

The entire country is sliding into poverty because of how badly Boris Johnson handled this pandemic. The government didn't wanna help businesses. They didn't wanna help the arts. They didn't wanna provide protective clothing for essential workers. They clapped on the 1 and 3 for the National Health Service instead of financially supporting it. And yet every other day there's news that multi-million pound contracts are being awarded to friends of people within the government. Then we all found out a few weeks ago that Boris Johnson was having an affair for 3 years and paid this side chick £100,000 of taxpayers money. Boris denied children free school meals and NHS workers a substantial pay increase - but coughed up hundreds of thousands of pounds for some pussy?

I don't know why you would ever give your pussy to Boris Johnson, even for that amount. But that's a whole other discussion I won’t be having.

But you know who else is out of control aside from these white people? Black and Brown people who value their proximity to whiteness above all else.

Our home secretary Shitty Priti Patel is a Ugandan-Indian woman. Yet she's out here trying to clamp down on immigration by all sorts of nefarious means. Means by which if enforced 5 decades ago, would not have allowed her own damn parents to come into this country to build their lives and build hers.

But it gets worse.

The government had the audacity put out a PDF report which concludes that Britain is not an institutionally racist country.

Yes.

A country which is built on colonialism, something it has stayed proud of to this day. A country which continues to feel that its whiteness is so above Black folk and people of colour, that it wants to run us out of the country and stop others from entering, based on some bullshit merit system of what they can offer. A country so racist that it treated Meghan Markle being Harry’s partner like it was the apocalypse. A country so racist that Boris Johnson felt no way to call Black children 'piccaninnies’ and the media didn’t drag his ass for it.

But it gets even worse.

The lead commissioner of the report  claiming institutional racism doesn’t exist in the UK is a Black man.

Some Uncle Ruckus looking ass bitch by the name of Tony Sewell had the fucking audacity to commission a 258 page document which makes out like institutional and systemic racism in Britain is some type of myth. This man was born in 1959 in a part of London which was famously rife with racial tension and Black revolt during the 1980s, and yet still fixed his crusty fingers to contribute to this mess.

But because 2021 (aka 2020 Part II) lives for a plot twist, it gets even worse. The second commissioner was also Black person. Some Candance Owens ass bitch who probably doesn’t have a single Black friend, and let’s all of her Eton educated white homegirls call her hair nappy and throw the word 'nigger' around like rice at a wedding.

A total of 6 Black people co-signed this damn report.

Britain has a long history of racism, which is absolutely institutional. But let’s just look at the past 5 years alone.

• Hella white people voted for Brexit, a campaign fuelled by racism.
• Shitty Patel called the Black Lives Matter protests "dreadful" and gloated that she would never take the knee.
• The tabloids dragged a Black politician for drinking an alcoholic beverage on the subway during Hot Girl Summer, but said 'boo' when Boris Johnson said Black Africans have 'watermelon smiles' and that Muslim women in burqas look like 'letterboxes'.
• The government having all the talk for the Black Lives Matter protests, a protest which was highlighting systemic racism, but saying absolutely nothing when racists 'protested' the following week over some damn statues.
• Feet being dragged on the Grenfell tower case, knowing that block was full of Black people and people of colour.
• The tabloids tearing Megahn Markle to shreds. 
• Richard Okorogheye, a young Black boy found dead, who was reported missing by his mother but was allegedly told by the police 'If you can't find your son, how do you expect us to?' and his case was not considered high risk despite him having sickle cell disease.
• The Royal Family distancing themselves from Harry and Meghan because they thought their child was going to come out looking like Wesley Snipes.

But you wanna buss open a Google doc and tell me in Arial point 11 that this country is not institutionally racist? And then have the audacity to blame Black, Brown and Asian folk and state that maybe it’s us and it’s all internalised!?

Get the fuck outta my face with this.

Britain continues to bury its head in the sand and claim that it isn't racist, whilst being racist all the day long. And these Black and Brown people that co-sign this foolishness really think that if Britain was to sink like the Titanic, that these white people wouldn’t pack out the lifeboats and tell their ass ‘There’s no room’ and let their nigga asses go down with the orchestra!?

Chile. The coonery and the self hatred. I could never.

But it’s the fact that these white people and these non-white folk feel so bold as to insult the intelligence of all of the Black, Brown and Asian folk who grew up in fear of being asked about their homemade lunches. Those who are asked where they’re from and saying ‘Britain’ just to be asked ‘No, but where are you REALLY from?’. Those who have such anxiety over their name being different and mis-pronounced that they either abbreviate it or change it to a more 'normal' name. Being told by white people to ‘Go back to where you came from’ - which always tickles me, because the fabric of what Britain became and remains is in large part because of non-white folk.

White Brits were so fed up and tired of their dry ass food and lack of culture, that they had to sail about the place and colonise other countries who were minding their own business, sitting and eating their fully seasoned and marinated food in peace.

And this country is so fucking dumb and in denial, that things it considers quintessentially British aren't even British at all. Curry is regarded as the nation's dish, when curry is from the Indian subcontinent. Britain is known for tea, when that shit is from China. Beer? Iran and Egypt. Nandos? Bitch, South Africa.

Even the act of cleanliness is not an inherently British thing. The pandemic has shone a big ol’ light on how many people (white people) in this country didn’t even know how to wash their hands, use hand sanitiser or wipe their own asses until a year ago.

Britain is obsessed with the erasure of claims of racism, as though racism isn’t what this country was founded on and continues to thrive on. Britain never did a great job of hiding how racist it was, but it's really shown it's ass over the past few years. These politicians and commissioners and whoever the fuck else want to deny the existence of racism, whilst being racist in our faces. They want to tell us there is no such thing as institutional racism, as though we don’t know the history of Britain and we aren't living the effects of that history here in the present. They want to tell us racism isn’t this tangible thing, when there are statues around the country erected in honour of colonisers, slave owners and racist British icons such as Winston Churchill. Statues this country went to length to protect when people started dragging a couple of them down last year during the Black Live Matters protests. Protests that many white Brits didn’t see the point of because ‘George Floyd was killed in America, it has nothing to do with the UK’, like racial bias in the police force does not exist here. As though Black youths and Black men are not disproportionately stopped and searched.

This country is unfortunately fortunate enough to have Black and Brown folk who are willing to perpetuate the lie and downplay how racist Britain has always been and continues to be. No amount of PDF reports or Zoom interviews to BBC from the coon collective will convince me otherwise. It’s just a fact that Britain is institutionally racist and racist, period - and somebody doesn’t need to be called any form of racial slur on a daily basis in order for this to be fact.

As is always the case, white people want Black, Brown and Asian folks’ contributions, but not the bodies responsible for them. And some of these folk have become so detached from who they are, and are so desperate for white acknowledgment, that they’re willing to side with racists in the interests of themselves, whilst shitting on everybody else and their very own ancestors.

In short, Britain is racist is as fuck. And this country is more concerned by the claims of racism, than the actual racism itself. Britain is determined to fully revel in its white supremacy, by delegitimizing all claims of racism and saying ‘It’s not us, it’s you’.
