CONSPIRACY THEORY #20050303
this fucking country is a joke and once i leave, may they mire in their own
racist shit! some jackass motherfucker took off my friend’s ear muffs and juss
threw them. wtf?!?!?! excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me?!?!?!? you punk ass little shit!
i just went to another lecture at the v&a. the artist lubaina himid has been an
outspoken artist in the uk art scene and she’s well-established and all. she
likes to umm… do art that gives a voice to the voiceless. she returns dignity to
those who were lost in the middle passage, who were no longer africans but not
yet slaves… although you can argue that being a slave isn’t any better. but
being a slave protected them from lynchings… but that refers to a previous post.
anyhow, she will no longer do controversial art and will paint english
wildflowers. she still has these ideas in her head for these projects, but she
doesn’t have the energy anymore. why? because part of it is that she’s tired of
fighting the system, tired of the racism.
sometime last term, i read in the guardian that they had to recall these soccer
videogames that featured the best of england or something like that. they
omitted their black players. the spaniards were worse though. at one of the
games versus spain, every time one of the black players got the ball, the crowd
would jeer at them and make monkey sounds.
mina is currently doing on-site research in moulsecoombe. it’s a council estate
notorious for racism. the person that she was in contact with is a canadian
teacher married to a brit. the teacher even acknowledges that it’s racist there.
there were some asians that opened a convenience store there and because they
raised their prices more than the other stores, they had rocks thrown at them,
their property was vandalized and i think something like a molotov was thrown in
their mailbox. needless to say, they left the area.
a former classmate of mine said DUH to me when i told him how racist this
country was. like other people i figured that europeans woulda been OVER this
shit a long time ago. the darker your skin, the worse the situation.
here’s another twist to racial politics. i’m black. sometimes for the sake of
making things easier for themselves, they put all non-white people in the the
‘black’ category. nice to know that all ‘Others’ are ALL THE SAME!!!!!
nice to know that the brits also consider curry a national dish.
i’m not saying that north america is a utopia. there are obviously some major
issues that have to be dealt with as well. however, i’ve never been so disgusted
by someone’s racist actions towards me in canada that i’ve wanted to leave.

ps i was jumped. by a puddle. i swear it attacked my left leg the other day. i
was NOT amused.
pps. since i went searching high and low for a recipe that i could add
not-so-tasty mango to and didn’t find anything here’s your answer. buy some
really hot, i’m going to die chutney and add mango. BOOM you have mango chutney
and you don’t taste the nastiness of the nasty mango!
