I.D

I knew nish about the windrush and invite stroke ambush to prop up the NHS and utilise the surplus to clean the rubbish of the western virus 

The peacock of fascists was Enoch the racist in the epoch of prejudice that yanked my chain and was due to again and  again and again and again and again and again and again creating  thresholds between us and them 

I was being told to go back home by grown up men way before I was ten

The tactical onslaught began . Securing the groundwork clubs because rasta represented and reggae kept on hugging us like an anxious surrogate shielding us from the effects of an inevitable arrest

On the propaganda front was a fictitious alpha man

named Tarzan 

The flank; your Jim Davidsons

The formula of notorious becomes glorious created the legacy of alf garnet

and that's not the half of it

We were woven into a fabric

and racism was our carpeting

carefully tread 

cause in police custody some of us wound up ded

Flares and platforms were that norm 

a wave of consciousness embraced us as socialists, and , albeit mostly about the music , there was niche  within the collective

On the flipside the political riptide is Brits abide with which side their bread's buttered on , even if they know it's wrong so they go along with the subliminal indoctrination of white domination which favours beneficiaries of lighter shades of skin and it's a stronghold when a 1.6 percent population change exposes a sterile culture; imposing a new beginning 

It was the 80s. And you can say whatever you want; but when the  3rd biggest opposition is the national front, it has an impact on the feeling that you actually belong

Thatcher came along and it was on. Right right, left wrong

And the nf chanted threatening songs legalised and strong in lynch mobs of yobs who'd jump , not fight lone brothers who'd dare walk alone at night 

and scar him

We'd sing and pray but everything we had to say was shirked

We had riots like diets that don't work

and around that time Lennox Lewis won the world championship at wembley and one of them grabs my hand and gushes 'now you and me are brothers and they shifted their complaining to the Asian invasion

Much the same complaints , a bit less of the maiming 

Then a music genre dramatically put it on ya but the back lash was a re-hash  of consumer fodder

Thank heavens poetry is underground and the frequency is lower 

See hip hop came bounding like a prodigal son before it became a boring whore , foreboding imploding in self evolving folklore. 

Gladiatorially 

Originally the community spoke through an independent medium with the tenet of drums and the self-fathering academia of karnac lectures and briefly the second coming showed a  face that Sodom and Gomorrah defaced with crime and bass 

and as stateside was the birth place ,

talking loud and getting jiggy came to be a requiem of a baller called PAC and a G called biggy

Their legacy reigns in the self defeated phrase 'taking the nig out of the ghetto out of the nig '

Or something

Now social liberalism has a vision of equilibrium but its more practical for capitalism to colonise its rats into bunches of stats than to allow rugged individualism

That's why we had to be categorised as blacks 

and it's easier to stagnate than articulate the infinite bounty of the colour spectrum

During the heights of civil rights it was re-typed to feel right and our heroes used negroes and since then it's been coloureds , then blacks ,then niggas on crack in self fulfilling caricatures  but before that there was a season when somebody thought we were human beings and deserved the considered distinction of being Afro-Caribbean which was  la de da caviar to our community bourgeoisie 

But 

Now that metropolis has become a basin of homogenised lotion 

and Asians blend in and some eastern Europeans  act like homogenising's an unforseen task and they front rather than ask  what one's supposed to do in a melting pot

North Africans who already trust you to do business if you're that type,

some orientals who think you're to dark to respect and some English who agree but wind in their necks since there's no competitive representative elect and whose kids aint talking jafaican

Now we've all finished whinging about the job stealing house packing polish exodus and there are indentured poles saying the same about Romanians ; moaning about us is so 1970s and it's a minefield cussing Muslims 

In 2013 I can't help seeing eclecticism as a little suspect since we've all got radicals who are  septic 

So where do you fit against my legendary  constants

of the low expectation

drug dealing

penis wielding

handbag stealing

sucker punches that blight like red traffic lights on the road of my life

And there's a thing

Where wil that leave my children reared in a series of rotating interventions where everything we could possibly need is at our disposal yet something's missing

Like decisions

So who the heck am I now. Who are any one of us
