We need to reclaim Black History Month as a time for organising radical resistance
The month has been hijacked by too many people intent on showing how right-on they are and as an opportunity for them to reveal their performative ‘againstism’ – a pose soon forgotten by November, writes ROGER McKENZIE
OCTOBER is a month where, if you know where to go, you could spend the entire time without ever having to cook or buy your own African, Caribbean or Asian food. You can just go from meeting to meeting and get more than well fed.
Your main problem will be getting to the food across the liberals taking a knee or being able to eat in peace as you’re told how much these people are against anything bad to anyone.
Of course, it wouldn’t be Black History Month without being constantly told about the decline of West Indies cricket and how wonderful Bob Marley was.
