Immigration policy isn’t just the new buzz word for protesters in Arizona, it’s a nifty tool countries on the have side of the have/have not divisions of the globe use to keep poor people out; that is unless they agree to be overworked and barely paid doing the jobs black folks used to do 50 years ago. Although its Hispanic people who seemed to be making the biggest fuss as of late, plenty of black migrants from places like Jamaica and Trinidad (there are others) who are fighting the same fight. In a world where you need cold hard cash to get cold healthy water, it doesn’t seem odd that only certain people have a right to certain spaces. Color is the thread policy makers often weave through their regulations. The blacker the berry, the more likely they are to want to leave it out of the melting pot.
The big dogs in the BK showed out this weekend when sent Chris Brown stepping. Noting the right to deny entry to anyone for any reason the director of the UK Border Agency International Group stated that public service was their biggest concern.
Unless the UK has been overrun by sultry Caribbean-born pop princesses with sexy accents and sassy attitudes, I’d say the population won’t be in danger with Brown performing in a few concerts. This decision has more to do with him being a young, BLACK convicted FELON, than it does with protecting the citizens from any real threat. Like any other man whose done wrong, Chris must face the consequences of his actions, and I’m not one to judge the severity of those consequences. But let’s be real, the UK isn’t going all gung ho against domestic violence. They see a black man with a record and for them, he just doesn’t belong in their space.
Do you think Britain was wrong for barring Brown from their entire country?
