Black Sheep Video The Guardian 26 October 2018
Everything changed for Cornelius Walker on 27 November 2000 when Damilola Taylor was killed.
Damilola was 11, the same age as Cornelius.
He lived five minutes away.
He had the same skin colour. Cornelius’s mother, scared for her son’s safety, moved their family out of London.
Cornelius suddenly found himself living on a white estate run by racists. But rather than fight them, Cornelius decided to become more like the people who hated him.
They became his family and kept him safe.
And in return, Cornelius became submerged in a culture of violence and hatred.
But as the violence and racism against other black people continued, Cornelius struggled to marry his real identity with the one he had acquired.

Eight black women discuss the politics of skin tone G 8 April 2019
Eight black women discuss the politics of skin tone Video The Guardian 8 April 2019
As part of our Shades of Black series, we invited eight women to talk about their experience of colorism in their relationships, careers and everyday life.
Colorism is the discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone.
This means that darker skinned black people have to fight prejudice even within their own community, where lighter skin is seen as more desirable.
As such, darker skinned black people can experience both racism and colorism.

Everyday racism: what should we do? Video Akala | Comment is Free G 18 March 2015
Racism is a business.
Its marketing is so successful that even Akala looks sideways at a young black man holding a lot of cash.
These racial assumptions lead to 'everyday' racism - daily encounters and micro-agressions.
It's time to recognise the relationship between top-down propaganda and the bias that we all carry.

The Mangrove Nine were a group of British black activists tried for inciting a riot at a protest, in 1970, against the police targeting of the Mangrove Restaurant, Notting Hill, in west London.
Their trial lasted 55 days and involved various challenges by the Nine to the legitimacy of the judicial process.
They were all acquitted of the most serious charges and the trial became the first judicial acknowledgement of behaviour motivated by racial hatred within the Metropolitan Police. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangrove_Nine - 3 October 2020

First Race Relations Act 1965
The Race Relations Act 1965 was the first piece of legislation in the UK to address the prohibition of racial discrimination and followed previously unsuccessful bills.
The Act banned racial discrimination in public places and made the promotion of hatred on the grounds of ‘colour, race, or ethnic or national origins’ an offence.
The Bill received Royal Assent on 8 November 1965, and came into force a month later on 8 December 1965.

Britain’s discrimination laws
In 1964 it was legal in the UK to refuse service on the basis of someone’s skin colour – and black and Asian people found themselves turned away not just from pubs but from working men’s clubs – and even from housing and jobs.

Racism Charges Put a Sport on Edge
December 21, 2011 The New York Times By JERÉ LONGMAN
John Terry, captain of
England’s national soccer team and the powerful club Chelsea, faces a criminal
charge over accusations that he made a racial slur during an October match,
apparently becoming the first player to be prosecuted for remarks said on the
field. Rob Hughes contributed reporting from London. Racism Charges Put a Sport on Edge, NYT, 21.12.2011, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/22/sports/soccer/ in-england-star-players-accused-of-racist-comments.html

Enoch Powell dismissed for 'racialist' speech
From the Guardian archive
Monday April 22, 1968 Guardian Ian Aitken
Mr Heath last night dismissed Mr Enoch Powell from the Shadow Cabinet. It became clear that the members of Mr Heath's Shadow Cabinet were unanimous that Mr Powell would have to go. Several Front Bench members let it be known that they would resign if Mr Powell remained. Two of the leading figures in the drama appear to have been Mr Maudling, deputy leader of the party, and Mr Hogg, chief home affairs spokesman. Both are understood to have been appalled by Mr Powell's inflammatory speech. Certainly there were intensive consultations
between members of the Shadow Cabinet and between many of them and Mr Heath. By
the end of the afternoon it must have been apparent that Mr Heath would receive
the full support of his colleagues if he dismissed Mr Powell. It was emphasised,
however, that the decision to dismiss Mr Powell belonged to Mr Heath personally.
He appears to have spent most of the day at Broadstairs brooding on the
situation created by Mr Powell's highly emotive speech on the Race elations
Bill, and to have telephoned Mr Powell at Wolverhampton at about 9pm.
