our conscious and unconscious minds It becomes nearly inevitable that in the face of this overwhelming disadvantage we develop an inferiority complex This negative attitude Black people often have about ourselves and each other gets passed down from parent to child and from generation to generationAs the journalist Henry Bonsu said to me"If you have no sense of your foundation you're skeletal you can't do anything This is what's happened And you have no sense of shame about anything Nothing is beneath you There should be codes of behaviour It should be un-Black to mug and rob somebody It should be un-Black to attack your teacher Because you've always had discipline You've always had balance But unfortunately it's become very Black to do these things for a certain group of children They think that's what being Black is about being rough and tough" We can see the effects of this brainwashing on modern African British youth Those whose parents or grandparents were born in the Caribbean and were brought up to think of Britain as the Mother Country often find themselves searching for their identity In the '70s many turned to Rastafarianism These days some of them having rejected the dominant culture turn to gun violence and gang violence as a means of seeking a positive identity as strong Black men and women Others overidentify with the dominant culture and seek to fit in with and be accepted by white society so unaware are they of their heritageIn addition our ignorance affects the way we deal with the racism we experience When we are not aware of our heritage we are not as resourceful as we might otherwise be in our responses to racismWe don't strive to be all we can be Instead we settle for being second- third- or fourth-best We don't take life-changing or world-changing decision we leave it to someone else to make things better and we hope things don't get too much worse How often have you complained to your friends and family about your noisy neighbors or your Council Tax bill or moaned to someone at the bus stop about how late the bus is Have you taken this complaint any furtherAnd this is a problem that affects white people as much as Black When one section of society is failing to live up to its full potential all of society suffers -
