White folk in Britain should watch Steve McQueen's 'Small Axe' series and educate ourselves on how racist our State was/is.

A different sort of Racism from what we see in America, but institutionalised racism all the same.

Gerade „Small Axe“ in der #ARD #Mediathek entdeckt. Versuche es natürlich in der OV. Struggle ein wenig mit der Mischung aus karibischem Englisch und Londoner Slang. Dafür brillanter #Reggae und #Ska-Soundtrack.

The Sensuality and Brutality of Steve McQueen’s #SmallAxe

"In his new film series, the director wants to vanquish any idea that British racism is somehow more repressed and less violent than the American kind."

Steve McQueen’s film captures the underground spaces that my mum’s generation carved out for themselves in the 1970s, says the Independent columnist Micha Frazer-Carroll

Its a 8/10 (great!) for Small axe: Mangrove.
Fantastic to see UK black history given the space it deserves.
