It is always a daunting thing to do because of the danger of alienating someone, or to present an idea that you later regret, or reframe your thinking on. However, I think more and more that presenting ideas is always useful, and also I have also always felt<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> confident in what I knew \u2013 and what it<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was that I was addressing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a person from our music community voiced numerous miss-informed statements, anger fuelled slurs and outright hatred towards a group of people in our society I initially felt quite clear at what it was that needed to be addressed. However as events unfolded and another ugly side of our society crashed into the situation, highlighting another set of prejudices and depressing double standards I felt less sure of this. The incident showed just how deep and entangled societies problems are. Also, the more I things unravelled, and the more I engaged with it, the less I realised I knew and understood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As hesitant as this made me, having engaged with other racism on this show a few times, I felt it was important to do so again here \u2013 and more importantly for me to do some work to try and have a bit more of a perspective. I read, spoke to friends of friends, parents of friends and friends of parents of friends who sent me other things to read or watch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the time I spent reading about this I was surprised at the number of times I found out things I understood as truths were either half truths or even examples of previous misrepresentations, this is an old hatred. I feel differently about a number of world situations current, recent and past after this process, and I still have a lot to understand. What I feel or think though, is not so important\u00a0 \u2013 sharing some informed perspectives might be; sample sources are listed and linked below.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Language<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We must be careful about how we use language \u2013 especially in these days when we use it so publicly. Like a lot of things we have been dealing with recently, this is very complex \u2013 but one thing that seems very apparent about our discourse at the moment is how divided it is. Common parlance might perhaps be to reference <em>both sides,\u00a0<\/em>and in these extruded times picking a side seems to be something we do all too easily. Defining fractious issues using simple two sided language can create framework that we start to attach reality to. I have seen the word &#8216;they&#8217; used very frequently recently, often without the <em>they\u00a0<\/em>in question having been identified, sometimes this might be implicit \u2013 but our words can hang around for a while, and can travel a long way away from their context. &#8216;They&#8217; easily becomes a void which anything can fill, we should be careful how we use it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Music.<\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Laurence Pike \u2013 Weightless<\/p>\n<p>FRKTL \u2013 Rhododendron Forest Rescue<\/p>\n<p>Szun Waves\u00a0 \u2013 Slow Motion<\/p>\n<p>Passepartout Duo \u2013 Hvalur<\/p>\n<p>Bvdub \u2013 Not Yours to Find<\/p>\n<p>Lord RAJA \u2013 Boxing<\/p>\n<p>First Circle \u2013 Ian Rankin<\/p>\n<p>SBK &amp; Eyez \u2013 Bits<\/p>\n<p>Rakjay &amp; Logan &#8211; Move From We<\/p>\n<p>Grandmixxer \u2013 Windrush VIP<\/p>\n<p>Proc Fiskal \u2013 Prop O Deed<\/p>\n<p>Devonwho \u2013 Adds<\/p>\n<p>Lord RAJA \u2013 Think a Drink<\/p>\n<p>HarryWhitaker \u2013 Black Renaissance<\/p>\n<p>Kwake Bass \u2013 Live at Jazz Refreshed<\/p>\n<p>Lupe Fiasco, Kaelin Ellis, Virgil Abloh \u2013 Shoes<\/p>\n<p>Duval Timothy \u2013 Look<\/p>\n<p>Ssaliva \u2013 Terrain<\/p>\n<p>False Moniker \u2013 Escape Path<\/p>\n<p>Earl Grey feat.
