It’s been a while I’ve visited your blog. The infrequency of my visits is due to the limits of the number of articles I can read per month. Anyway, back to the article. As always, your article is well written and it always gives me loads of pleasure to read your stuff. But yes, it truly saddens me as I’m reminded of many years ago, in Tottenham, North London when I bought a book of Malcolm X’s speeches and how I was unable to get my head around his formidable and potent comment:

The most disrespected person in the America is the black woman. The most unprotected woman in America is the black woman. The most neglected person in America is the black woman.

Even though I’m thousands of miles from the UK and the States, I find this situation threatening and disheartening that still today, of how the situation has not changed but has intensified as though the establishment refuses to shift. I also find it scary that stone cold racism is being normalised and therefore made to be acceptable. I get the feeling that the Alt Right are so angry that an African American made it before them to the presidency title and Africans Americans are now being punished for it.

All we can hope that either the president will at some point be impeached or that he doesn’t succeed at the next election.
