Today marks 71 years since the Empire Windrush landed on British shores, carrying 1027 Caribbeans coming to the UK under the British Nationality Act 1948, which gave citizenship to the people of the United Kingdom and the Colonies to those connected to them. This happened because the UK needed labour after the war to rebuild the country... And the hopeful West Indians (some of which had fought in the war FOR the UK) did just that while paying taxes, growing economy... and changing and enriching the culture of the UK forever. (I’m too petty to not mention the Jerk Rice debacle 😑). In 2018, many of the Windrush Generation were thanked for their years of service and contributions to this country by being told they had not, in fact, been given citizenship and were being threatened with deportation, some were wrongly detained and denied basic rights and in at least 83 cases, people were wrongfully deported. Many lost their jobs, homes & pensions due to their “illegal status” and were no longer entitled to use the health system they’d been paying into for all these years.

Theresa May’s video commemorating Windrush today, made me feel pretty nauseous considering her “hostile environment policy” for immigrants as Home Security, which many feel is directly linked to the despicable treatment of the Windrush generation.

This morning I cried as I read about Richard Stewart who died last week aged 74. He never received an apology from the government and never received any compensation as he was waiting for his case to be resolved. The money, he had hoped, would allow him to travel back to Jamaica for the first time in 50 years to visit his Mother’s grave and see, once again, the place he came from. His son, Wesley, said to The Guardian that his father had never wanted to see Britain as a racist country, but his views had changed as a result of his treatment by the Home Office.

To those still suffering as a result of the systemic disregard for black & brown people in this country; THANK YOU for all the contributions you gave while enduring the racism and inequality that you did. I exist and live how I do because of you.

1509claire @a_star_glaziers you’re comparing white people in South Africa, who spent centuries oppressing the indigenous black African population via apartheid, being unable to go to certain places to worldwide racism towards black people? The EFF group are a retaliation in South Africa against centuries of murder, separation, imprisonment by white governments in a black African nation. What have black Africans ever done systematically to white peoples? Nothing. They’ve never had the economic and political power to do so. Via various empires, white people have oppressed people of colour worldwide. The Dutch in South Africa, the English in India, Pakistan, Australia, the United States. I have been to South Africa. My grandparents live there in a gated community in Cape Town. Them and all of their neighbours only socialise with their white friends - whilst hiring black people as their gardeners and maids. South Africa is a terrible example because the racial divide is still massive there. You’re right, we’re ALL getting fucked by the hierarchy. But don’t pretend the hierarchy of the world isn’t white peoples. (Leaders of NATO, EU, United Nations, the United States are the most powerful entities in the world - majority white male leaders).

kiksajonjon It’s absolutly unacceptable! This is disrepecting the 30 articles of Declaration of rights which is the base of the law of every country of the world. How come that some peole, as the so called queen of England, seem to violate the basics of law and the state of the law, is she an outlaw ? So, the ones who say that we have to respect the law are sayong that to allow themselves to disrespect it ! So, condamning those people and force them to leave from England, isn’t it rehabiliting slavery ? Isn’it denying the rights of citizens of the world ? Isn’t it demying their humanity? So, if it’s all that, those people who are delegitimating the state of the law and the state of rights, don’t they deserve to rooted out too? All this seems to look like decisions emanating from a dictatorship, nore less nore more, isn’t it ? The truth is the truth, stop tricking the people, the citizens of the world. « When you’re wrong, you gotta admit you’re wrong » sings U Roy. Yes, a jamaican artist has a political conscioussness that knows about common wellness And liberty for all. To be a winner you got to accept when you loose and when you’re wrong.

1509claire @a_star_glaziers wow you’re picking two minimum wage jobs as an example of black equality? Really? Go and look at the board of directors of any company. You’ll see few women and even fewer non-whites. You look at middle management of any company - few women, even fewer people of colour. And I got a job at JD when I was a teen and I’m white as snow. So your example properly sucks. You can say “we are all one” because you’re white and don’t experience racism. Please look into Stephen Lawrence. Look into current rates of racial profiling by the police here in the UK. Look at rates of islamophobia increasing. I heard a white person call a black person the N-word maliciously here in the UK, which I hadn’t heard since I was a kid in the 90s. We’re sliding backwards and claiming “we’re all one” when a lot of people clearly think we don’t (look at comments around Brexit), is ignorant at best, downright dangerous at worst. Read Nathalie’s comments about treatment of the Caribbean Windrush generation. It’s all around you, don’t close your eyes to it.

a_star_glaziers @1509claire I’ve worked in factories filled with Indian people and they absolutely hated the white people not the other way round. I’ve seen how Pakistan people hate Indian people in the work place and cuss them. Maybe the problem is that people look at the past too much instead of looking toward the future. I can’t stand racism I think it’s absolutely disgraceful and I don’t condone any sort of bullying. The thing is if you’ve ever been to South Africa you’ll see how white people cant go in to certain places because of the danger it holds to them. The world is a bigger place then the UK and the way you say white people treat people here is the opposite in foreign lands. I can’t see why everyone can’t just be equals. Like it or lump it but we are all just numbers paying into the same fucked up system. Black, white, Asian, mixed race whatever we are we’re ALL still getting fucked in the ass by the hierarchy

1509claire @a_star_glaziers they’re not homeless because they’re white though. That’s the point. Being white will never be the cause of your poverty. Being working class might. Being LGBTQ night. Being a woman might. But being white will NEVER be the underlying cause for your suffering. Being black leads to subconscious bias that can cause you to be refused a job, refused medical care, refused welfare, considered a “criminal” even when you’re not, and many many many other stereotypes that affect day to day lives of people of colour. Please do not diminish that. It isn’t about wealth, or status. It’s about white people never going through the daily experience of systemic racism.
