there are a couple of documentaries coming up on Racial Britain....Which are going to be interesting viewing Naga Munchetti, the BBC interviewer is going to be doing a Panorama documentary programme on Monday 8th March. ''Lets talk about Race''The thing that is going to piss me off about these two is that they are going to paint britain as the racist segregated place and it’s not. Yes you get twats everywhere. But she was here 5 minutes living in palaces, she just needed to drive out the palaces and see what was around her.
But I also just thought this article was fascinating, maybe it is a comment about Racism that is relevant for someone like Meghan! Candice is talking about losing out for presenting documentary work, to lighter skinned black women!

Even in the playground, I was told my skin was too dark: it’s time to face up to colourism
As I grew up, the majority of black women I saw on TV were fair skinned. Those who looked like me were never cast as the lead
If 2020 was the year the world decided it was time for a proper conversation about racism, then 2021 is definitely the year we need to face up to colourism. Colourism is discrimination against dark-skinned people. It comes from within the community as well as without, and is an issue across many races, including mine.
