Hot Honey of the Week/ Race Hate, the Darkside of the City

Dear Family Members

This weeks ‘Hot Honey’ is Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge. But I bring this weeks feature with a heavy heart.

Unfortunately, DS made the headlines in this week’s British press when he was racially abused by Chelsea fans as he played for the club.  It has been a bad week overall for the football world with regards race relations as England Captain John Terry has allegedly used racially offensive language in a verbal exchange with Queen’s Park Ranger Anton Ferdinand. I would have really like to see Anton Ferdinand and Daniel Sturridge come out swinging on this issue.  Especially when this glaring racial antagonism mirror’s the hatred that is alive and kicking our asses in British society.

Staying with the topic of race hate; two of the men charged with the racially motivated killing of Stephen Lawrence are in court this week. Which is a joke, as there were a group of five white males involved and they could only manage to get two?   This murder happened 18 years ago people in the mean time this mans family and the wider community have not been given the peace of a meaningful resolution.  I have watched like many of you as the Lawrence family have bravely and tirelessly campaigned for the judicial system to bring his killers to justice; each set back in this crazy long journey leaves visible signs of strain and grief on his mothers face. It is fair to say this brave woman has been robbed twice firstly by this act of terror that took her sons life and secondly by the Metrpolitan police.

The message that these failures send, as so many race crimes go unchecked is the institutions of the United Kingdom for example judicial, education, and political just to name a few will treat me and others that wear African racial markers as the underclass of modern British society. The  burden of such a reality is heaviest for our young people. We all need to wake -up to the madness of the abusive relationship Black folk residing in the UK have with the state... So we can act.
