It's has been nearly one year since Labour party racist - John Denham made his extraordinary claim that there is no such thing as racism against Black people in the UK.
See below for some of his views:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/8458298.stm
I am a white man, and work extensively with many Black people of Caribbean descent. I was lucky to know many people who had a keen interest in Black History, but were prevented from expressing their views because they did not speak in the received language of the time.
The likes of individuals like Trevor Philips - friend of Prince Charles and Lee Jasper, were advanced as if they were experts. The reality was that they were and still are clueless. the first is a dyed in the wool colonial and the latter an establishment acclaimed reformed junkie, with a side-line in being a consultant police informer.
What worried me was the focus on gun crime and the police. Other individuals from other communities were seen as gifted people who were headed to university and then onwards to a stellar career finishing in the House of Lords.
On the other hand, Black West-Indians were perpetual muggers, rapists and dunces. Then there was the African coup that happened in Peckham where I still live.
Suddenly it was receive intelligence among the white liberal middle classes who had done their obligatory gap years, etc to see Africans as the solution to the Black British -Problem.
I began to look at the actual history and development of this policy, and realised that millions of pounds of development money was being thrown into the education of Africans.
So what happened to the West-Indians? What was the British government's policy on them?
It's obvious - the policy was to slash and burn, to cut them adrift, to let them burn in hell.
British foreign policy played a massive part in this. The oil rich states such as Nigeria, Guinea and others were more important than dealing with their internal race problems.
The newspapers reported that the United Kingdom's Muslim community were not prepared to put up and shut up. Neither were they prepared to be bundled in with Asians or ethnic minorities.
Their agument became politically developed to the point of acknowledging their global relations with the Muslim brothers and sisters. Hit one hit all was now a mature global policy that they practiced to the hilt.
No more could a John Denham type tell them about their pain and the solutions.
The West-Indians on the other hand, seemed to have been mesmerised by a fantasy world image of the African motherland.
Many started to ear dashikis and other African clobber so that they could confirm that they were not lost souls who had lost their culture, but their in with the in crowd - educated Nigerians.
Everyone claimed that they were a barrister, a doctor, a judge, government official, a government minister or the governor of the state.
Even more annoyingly they all appeared to come from Lagos.
I decided to go a spend some time in Nigeria. I found the experience horrendous! Everyone expected a bribe for even the slightest task. I eventually left early in disgust.
I realised that the British governments domestic race policy on West Indians was based on their warped foreign policy of gaining oil from Nigeria. Gordon Brown pumped the policy until it bled.
David Cameron intends to promote that policy only with a twist- he's lobbed the mixed races.
Fingers crossed Black West Indians will start to take note of international affairs and realise that it is now in their interest to start speaking about compensation about their experiences of racism in British society.
I'm here to tell anyone who will listen that racism is alive a well in Britain and until it is stopped in its tracks it will increase.

A Letter to Tony Blair - Stop Covering Up and Release Documents for Iraq War
Thursday 20 January 2011.
To Mr Tony Blair
Former Prime Minister of UK
Tony Blair Foundation
Mr Blair
I am writing to you because I am extremely concerned that Britain was taken into the Iraq war on a false mandate. I attended the Hutton Inquiry on the death of Dr David Kelly, and have also attended the presently ongoing Chilcot Inquiry into the Iraq war.
Based on the evidence and the facts, I must conclude that you made decisions that has cost the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. Many of these lost lives are British and Commonwealth personnel.
Since I have an elderly relative who was in the RAF during the second world war, I have a level of awareness of those people who made sacrifices in the name of advancing freedom, peace and civilisation. These Defenders of democracy and peace, appear to have made the ultimate sacrifice, only to be betrayed by you.
I have recently read in the newspapers that a man who works in the Cabinet office, a man called Sir Gus O'Donnell, has claimed that he has the authority to decide what is in the "public interest". The newspapers say that this person has not 'authorized' the release of documents that relate directly to you and former US President, George W. Bush in relations to the Iraq war. There are also claims that you directly intervened and interfered with the Inquiry protocols by blocking access to these documents. In other words, you refused to give your permission for the public to see these documents.
I have spoken to many people on this matter, and everyone is appalled and sickened by this wrong-headed decision. I have been on the bus and on the tube, and several people have said that you are yet again covering up and hiding information that has a direct impact on Sir John Chilcot's Inquiry. Since this is a public inquiry, and the public want to know, these documents should be released to the public.
The public have a very strong and personal interest in these matters.
Therefore, I request that you release these, and all relevant documents that can give the public a candid and full view of events. I must add, that since I too, was a victim of a "sexed up" intelligence and security report, I too have a very public and imperative interest these documents.
Mr Blair, you now benefit from your claimed faith in God. You advance the ideology that you are a man of peace. However the real test of a man who professes a belief in God through his Catholicism is whether he is blameless as a steward of God. Giving your consent to the release of all documents to the Chilcot Inquiry will reassure the public that you have a little honour.
Yours Sincerely
Marcia Simpson-James

See documentary below which gives the true picture of Tony Blair's use of arbitrary forced 'disappearances & detentions' on innocent citizens so that the victim can be tortured. And unbelievably, this ALL happens in Britain:
