Thinking about Chauvin, Floyd and the two cultures at war with each other.
The culture the Black guys live in is not theirs, they are not where they are by choice and they have not been able to contribute to or become part of the so-called melting pot.
And it's also true that though they were there from the start, they have watched as wave after wave of immigrants have found a toe-hold and launched themselves ahead of the black man.
No explanation is offered to us other than institutional racism; and no solutions are proposed, though the UK has seemingly done it.
Walking round my local shopping centre, where native English is rarely heard, observing the young happy shoppers, I was thinking: these kids have all got the same chance to succeed and every chance to succeed; if they make it, if they don't make it, it's gonna be entirely up to them.
