Black People in The UK?

Today was interesting I had a little chat with one of my American friends on messenger and he asked me how it was like to be black in London, it was an odd question so I asked why he was asking. He told me it was because the part of America he's from they don't even mention it or talk about it he didn't even know black people lived here until a few months or so ago.

Now I find this shocking cause I know that London is probably one of the most racially diverse cities in the world, with so many cultures and ways of life I'm surprised we've managed to live side by side together as a country with out ripping our heads off and shooting each other down and yes we have had our differences with each other and I myself have been in a scuff with the police for no reason what so ever but I'm actually proud to call myself British citizen but while I was rejoicing in the some what functional country I live in my American friend was telling me of the struggle that so many young black men are facing in America and I'm not one to support one race over another even if it is my own, I believe in true equality not just for black and white people (which seems to be the only type of people being mentioned in all racial matters which I think itself is racist) but every race.

There are so many points and views on why white and black people are the main focus points for racial talks and there's also a lot of points and views on why the talk of racism is still a major topic and issue for most white and black people in the world which i will probably talk more on in another post. The only thing that bugs me about what he said was the fact that my American friend is a really good guy he's a really likeable guy with a big heart and a kind personality and for a guy that cool and nice to be worrying if he's going to be harassed by police just because his skins darker is so terrible its disgusting.

What is going on here?

So like any normal person in today's modern society I have a Facebook account, big whoop right? The problem with that is the fact that while you grow older and start to remember how your good old childhood was like and how everything was new and you were trying to find yourself, you start to realise that everyone else was doing what you were doing as a kid and that nothing you've done was actually new and creative or invented by you actually its probably the exact opposite to that, you know like those special little games play with your siblings to pass the time such as the human airplane or those donkey rides you give your little brothers or sisters around the house and not to forget the sliding down the stairs in old boxes your parents don't want any more.

All the things no one teaches you to do as a child just the things you naturally thought you made up in your big creative mind. Guess what, turns out most of the people in the world have been doing it for years and I was just another mindless shell following the never ending, ever looping path that so many others before me have followed.
I don't think its the fact that other people are doing what I thought was a personal self-made moment that bothers me, I guess its the fact that I thought I had invented something fun and amazing, a game with my siblings that only we had experienced and had memories about, memories to pass down to our children or tell at camp fires when were old and grey.

All of that has been taken away from me and just like that with a click of a button and a few minutes scrolling through popular posts I've come to realise My childhood was and is indeed a lie. Thanks a lot Facebook and other Social Media Platforms.

First post here we go!

So I'm guessing writing first posts on most subjects is hard and a pretty intense task like this is the first step to what could be a very long beautiful and successful future or the beginning of a very shitty and horrible fail, either way this is happening and I'm not sure I know what or why I'm even writing this or who's listening or going to see this. Maybe I'm wasting my time and energy but who cares right?... OK well that was awkward, me talking to myself... hmmm I don't know what to say any more so ill just leave it with... Hey world this is my collective thoughts on everything and anything, hope you enjoy.
