The abandonment of blackness
During the 70s and 80s I attended so many political marches rallies and demonstrations in regards to equality.
There was no distinction it was about sexual liberation inclusion of all abilities and the acceptance of all
creeds and colours.
Sexuality was the first to be integrated into the main stream partly due to the ever so public portal of the
homophobic brutality with which it was being attacked. The general public ever fearful of violence wholeheartedly
supported the integration of these individuals whom through no fault of their own had sexual different likings.
Next came disabilities. How could any progressive modern nation not consider those unable to gain access to work
leisure social venues drastic changes were made for their inclusion.
That left blacks. No longer supported by the sexual brigade abandoned by disabilities they were left to march alone.
There was no excuse for being black it was not a medical condition nor a genetic differences of a perceived norm.
Blacks were accountable for their own social political and economic standing. Those same disabled and sexually different
individuals that blacks had previously supported became the front line barriers to political inclusion. Incorporated into
local government infused with that new sense of power those once allies vigorously rebuffed any attempt at advancement.
One small concession was made allowing a small number of black females to enter the political arena unfortunately that
required almost losing their blackness. The stage finally set blackness was abandoned as a notion of inequality and pushed
into the realm of threatening deviance.
The harshness with which blacks and black males in particular are treated by the
legal systems in the western world reflect nothing more than the desire to never allow equality. As such blacks can be beaten
murdered and publicly humiliated without fear of repercussion from the wider society. If it were a dog or a child there would
be outrage condemnation and change but be it a black man woman or youth and the victim is seen as deserving such treatment.
It is time to take control of and defend our own communities. There are so many aspects of our communities that are not right
and require drastic action to ensure the safe nurturing of the young just as much as there is a need to defend ourselves and
our communities from the authorities that seem hell bent on its moral and social destruction. We are at war with both a system
of continual abuse and our fellow blacks that have lost all notions of self-worth and integrity. Until we accept this fact and
collectively act against it we will continue to be lost and continue to loose.......

I’m waiting for my friend
https://43spiders.wordpress.com/2016/06/16/im-waiting-for-my-friend/
It’s not the distance we travel that makes life hard
It’s the people we carry and those we discard
For the heart and mind are limited and sometimes
We see others along the way and we ask do you
Want to come with me but you have you room
They say
Hold on a sec I’ll see what I can do but then the
Choices are given to you do you carry more than
Your really meant to or lose another along the way
Wait here my friend someday I will be back for you
And on that journey we stay
Left behind on the side of the road, hungry sad lonely
And cold we wait for that other who the story did told
That this way they’d come again
Passersby catch our eyes
Hay you come with me to stay is demise
But lost and alone with distant eyes we say
I’m waiting for my friend
Don’t be silly you lonely fool promises are broken
That’s the golden rule and here you’ll be all alone
In the distance you can hear the cries
Some are hello’s and others goodbyes
And ever so often it appears to the eyes that
There’s other along that road
Distant and still almost like road kill they litter
The way ahead and behind
Maybe I should walk and try to catch up those
That have left me behind
As I walk I meet others I’ve seen before
How long have you been here where have
You been
Do you want me to carry you
Hop on and we’ll start our journey

Get me out of here ;o
My home is on HomeSwapper. It’s a 2 bed in Oakham Take a look by going here https://www.homeswapper.co.uk/Home/Details/2165893 #HomeSwapper
Of forgiveness and belonging
What would it take to hear
The whispers of your heart
In the dead of night when
The world has forgotten the
Damage of man and the dawn
Has yet to reveal the darkness
That sleeps within the children
Of the morning
And still there is the sunshine
And the rain falling upon the faces
Of those that would kill the knowledge
Of forgiveness and belonging

grow away from ourselves
There is beauty in those eyes and a presence
of love that emanates from the souls knowledge
and there hanging above is an awareness of freedom
and the birds of desire seeking new and distant lands
yet still we are balanced in indecisions and restrictions
imposed acceptably as we seek directions in which to
grow away from ourselves

Ethnic Group
This address (Graffham Drive, Oakham) can be considered less ethnically diverse than the UK average. As whole, the UK population claims itself as approximately 86% white, with residents of this area being 99% so.
The UK is home to a number of sizable populations of non-white residents, with mixed ethnicity (2.1%), Indian (2.4%) and Pakistani (1.9%) being the largest groups reported.
There is considerable division of ethnicities within the UK, with ethnically diverse addresses uncommon outside of urban areas

Breaking News Nacro endorses racism.....
Breaking News Nacro endorses racism.....
What could persuade a charity that has built its reputation upon
notions of social justice to act discriminatorily.... the answer in short is Alan
Duncan MP and Rutland police along with Rutland County Council all of whom seem
to have unstoppable persuasive powers to dictate their will to colleges, local business
and now adding to their reach Nacro. Added to this new tactic of discrimination
is the withholding of Enhanced DBS checks. It’s nothing new to me I’ve never
received one back within three months for the last ten years. But this latest
one has gone way beyond that. It’s now been six months with no sign of
completion.

I’ve had four interviews with Nacro. On the second they
offered me the position of tutor stating quite clearly that my references and micro
teaching were satisfactory. The following two were to discuss proposed changes
to the structural composition of the actual classrooms and my desire to integrate
IT in to every aspect of the learning process. I was comfortable with the fact
that having advised Nacro of the inevitable delay that would happen with my
Enhanced DBS due to past experience that they were willing to wait for this. It
was thus a surprise to receive after four months a withdrawal of offer based
upon references. Of course I questioned this pointing out that at three
interviews I had been informed that these were fine and all that remained was
the Enhanced DBS. Nacro have declined to respond to several inquires in regards
to the matter. Am I surprised. Yes and no. This is the forth time that this has
happened whereby I have been offered a position received the contracts and then
the job has been withdrawn. Of course none of those involved have at any time
being willing to expand. Stamford College, Grantham College and Leicester
Colleges all seem to Sercombe to cold feet external influences. But the fact
remains that since successfully defending myself and my children against the
discriminatory actions of Rutland County Council, Rutland Police, Catmose
Federation and Alan Duncan I have become unemployable. Was it worth it? The
answer has to be yes for both my son’s have been able to move on and overcome
the inherent discrimination which is an everyday aspect of living in racist
Rutland. Had I not fought for their right’s one would have never made it
through school let alone to now attend university and the other would have been
continued to be beaten on the streets of Oakham with the support and endorsement
of the local Racist Police Force.

falling into an awakening
Those moments of godliness when the world stands still and all things have meaning
That time stretched to encompass all things in there order seemingly just then to make
Sense of the madness that was before
And in the skip of a heartbeat normality rushes in bringing back the chaos of today and forgotten
Is the notion that all things were and are making sense
And still we are here coping looking forward to what it is that tomorrow may bring trying to forget that which we know to be true
For the truth reveals only our captivity and the knowledge that we willingly allowed this to be
I look away with the despair of one who has condemned another to the misery of remembrance
And I feel the cries of those falling into an awakening
Why do we still have prisons.....?
Why do we still have prisons.....?
“At the end of only six days we had to close down our mock prison because what we say was frightening. It was no longer apparent to us or most of the subjects where they ended and their roles began. The majority had indeed become “prisoners” or “guards”, no longer able to clearly differentiate between role-playing and self. There were dramatic changes in virtually every aspect of their behaviour, thinking and feeling. In less than a week, the experience of imprisonment undid (temporarily) a lifetime of learning; human values were suspended, self-concepts were challenged, and the ugliest, most base, pathological side of human nature surfaced. We were horrified because we saw some boys (“guards”) treat other boys as if they were despicable animals, taking pleasure in cruelty, while other boys (“prisoners”) became servile, dehumanised robots who thought only of escape, or their own individual survival, and of their mounting hatred of the guards. “
McLeod, S. A. (2016). Zimbardo - Stanford Prison Experiment. Retrieved from www.simplypsychology.org/zimbardo.html
Should that be the ideology and ethos behind prisons then those in government are fully aware of the detrimental effects not only upon the prisoners but also their guards. There can be no claim that one is unaware of not only the effects upon both those groups but upon society as a whole as prisons are always equated with a microcosm of the wider society. Bosses are guards as workers are prisoners. Prisons will not change until the wider society changes and the guards are happy being not only in control but sadistic bastards to boot. We are all in prison
