Anti-racism and Black Lives Matter is not just for a week or a month, it's for a lifetime. The danger is that as this article points out, us white people have a history of dealing with racism and handwringing that actually doesn't create action. Obfuscating it with their guilt and 'need to listen/know more' which is quite often a well-meant distraction exercise. It's great for books by Ta-Nehisi Coates and self-help industry, less great for actual change. So I post this second part with a hope that this time it's different, that people actually start challenging systemic racism in their lives - be it their racist granny or their dodgy job or more importantly their own biases and prejudices. Stamp out those contradictions! Cos all of us 'wypipo' was brought up in a toxic soup of white supremacy, and dodgy ideas like 'racists are only bad people, and I am not a bad person!', 'I see no race/we are all human' and the much derided 'I have black friends! I cannot be racist!'. There is more about this in the video I posted earlier, how we are programmed to not see our own race and that we segregate and how that is actually a loss for us. We talk of good/bad neighbourhoods, and get really defensive. Even if they never did a single 'racist' thing in their lives, they/our silence as a 'not racist' leads to a complicity in allowing this virus to flourish and infect new generations. We all need to be actively anti-racist to make black lives matter Anyway, here's the second part of the podcast with music of black lives matter and queer resistance, and trying to pass the mic to black voices who know far better than me. From Australian Indigenous, US and UK hiphop to conscious funk from Leeds, orange golfers to mint juleps, reggae lockdown remixes and covers to classic ska, black queens and black queer resistance to afrocentric soul and Sesame Street...it's all here, with it's fist raised defiantly to the sky.
