No war but the class war .not black v white bit rich pool ŕ,

Sound of my childhood ❤❤ Rest in peace 🙏

Legend mmmmm , the bar is low in black community obviously

​​​​@@RobdeKlerk-qg6lc😂 What a dumb comment that you have made, when the Western World reveres and mourns the death of actors, musicians, comedians, and calls them legends.

@@RobdeKlerk-qg6lc you’re opinion on the black community* what a clown you are 🤣

Me too he was so positive. ❤❤❤

That could of been Eulogy. You have talent.

@@user-id6bu4ib2s Some would argue that he was a platitudinous race grifter.

@@ryand141 Thank you!

He was a rioter & served a prison sentence for burglary.

Haha

​@@davidz3879 The royal family have done more criminal acts (Andrew and his family who covered for him). And you will uncover more criminal acts if you do research

Lovely bloke, remember when he battered he’s pregnant, girlfriend half to death and was arrested for it and sent to prison !! Real salt of the Earth wasn’t he…..

He was infertile, actually. He did speak about once hitting a woman with deep regret and shame. People are allowed to do bad things and then grow and change.

"philosophy degree in post colonialism" made up subject.

He was a burglar & rioter.

"British".........no "Our past"..........again, no

Beautifully said

@@auroraborealis-zm1or I am a professor of English and Africana Literature in the US and I disagree. You don't have to like him but the scholarship on his work, his inclusion in curricula (one of the few writers of BAME background on UK sec. sch syllabi, his influence on music, manipulation of form etc) marks his place in literature. Dare I add that he was once the British Council literary ambassador, so yes, people "outside of the British Black African community" knew him. Have a good day! :)

@@auroraborealis-zm1or Please read my post carefully. I didn't say your critique was racist. I merely wanted to express that as a Brit working in the US and as a scholar of the genre he wrote in, it is certainly not true that he is only known by his community in the UK. He was globally published; had ambassadorial role traveling around the world with the BC. This makes it impossible to be known by only the Afro-Cab community in the UK. Likewise his "badly written prose", as you expressed, is what scholars call manipulation of form, a subject of much scholarship hence his inclusion in curricula. If you don't like him/his work, that is perfectly fine but he made his mark on the UK(and global) literary scene . That was the point I was making not assumptions about you. :)

Why was he so obsessed about his race?

Oh please

❤ he knew. Free Palestine 🙏🏻🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

He found his level haha.

@@SA-ff9ucbro this man is a staple of English literature, who are you 💀

Or was he a race grifter who wrote doggerel?@@jeongbun2386

​@@asa1973100 SHAME!

@@asa1973100No I don’t remember that at all. When did this supposedly happen? What was the name of the woman? What prison did he get sent to for that crime?

@@asa1973100 This isn't an excuse it is of course terrible and he was sent to prison for his crimes. It is worth noting that he volunteered this information (no one had to dig) and spent the rest of his life attempting to atone by bringing people together. Tell me, do you have the same energy for Sean Connery, Boris Johnson and John Lennon (all of whom beat their partners and are/were unapologetic about it in their lifetimes). If not, why not?
