White folk in Britain should watch Steve McQueen's 'Small Axe' series and educate ourselves on how racist our State was/is.
A different sort of Racism from what we see in America, but institutionalised racism all the same.

Education, from #smallaxe, is a torturously tragic story about the absolute failure of the British education system for the majority of Windrush children, by neglect and by design. And the answer? Collective action.
Went to supper, came back and watched "Alex Wheatle" from #smallaxe, about the real story of the Brixton uprising from the point of view of Wheatle, who at the time was a young man brought up outside his culture. Another brilliant story. #film
Taking a sharp left turn to watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975), directed by Jim Sharman. Famous, starring Tim Curry, Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick. And already we're shocked -- the credits are front-loaded. Didn't remember that!
Beginning to #watch Small Axe (2020), Steve McQueen's anthology as released by Criterion this past April, on Blu-Ray. I'm starting with Mangrove and Lovers Rock, the two #films on the first disc. Forgive me if I'm not paying effing attention to the bullshit here on Masto for a bit. I'm already otherwise engaged. #smallaxe
