      @Matt Mcann "Equality"... rarely has a word been so mis-interpreted. What does "equality" mean? Equality has never existed in any society of any nation in history. Demanding equality means that it is something given by others, but the "inequality" caused by oppression is a small proportion of overall Inequality, which can be caused by a myriad of factors including geography, climate, culture, attitudes, morals, work ethic, priorities and probably MOST importantly, parenting. Equality starts with the individual doing everything he or she can to be successful in life. Learning, working hard, being respectful. Equality of opportunity is a right (where circumstances permit it) - Equality of outcome is not and will never be a "right". Nobody is entitled to a higher standard of living, they have to earn it.

    For anyone who doesn’t know,
    Jack was a child of a privileged family who devoted his unfortunately short 20 years of life to helping youths in the prison system, family’s affected by the prison system, and trying to change it . Dave knew Jack because he helped Daves brother deal with the system and his life sentencing for murder.
    Jack was murdered with the other girl in the video when he jumped in and risked his life to attack the terrorist in the London Bridge Terrorist attack.

      Um personally we don’t want acceptance we just want to be left alone by white peoples something that’s never seems to happen let us do us build our own read the book the destruction of black civilisation read into colonialism and imperialism and horrors of slavery black Wall Street what they did to gaddafi trying to unite Africa and know how can we want acceptance when we are the original people, yall should be begging for forgiveness which is us by nature hence why I’m yet to see anything in retaliation what sit ins and protest an riot , just still trying to have our own and do our own, the education system the justice system the economic system all the media all branches of systemic racism why don’t whites police themselves look in America another black man was just lynched didn’t kill anyone but was killed by the white judge against the jury’s say so in Alabama know for racism, why don’t they tell the truth in schools who was on earth first who was on every bit of land who built the pyramids the truth about why whites even felt the need to oppress and worldwide genocide harass and slaughter us ??? Why is there reparations for everyone ie holocaust victims but the most wrong done by on this earth till today why does Dave in 2020 gotta still tell the white establishment that we deserve reparations for the time our people spent on plantations as slaves working to enrich the white British against our will under the threat of death and as the victims of the atrocities with whites still benefiting from the British empire drenched in the blood of my ancestors, immigrants are treated like crap but when ur white ur an ex pat the irony look racism is evil and if you don’t stand against it it’s part of the problem and check black history we’ve never had a problem being nice sharing welcoming you in as you’ve only been about
      6000 and we taught you to be civilised and hygiene check out what went down in Kemet with the Greeks the moors in Europe we shared and everything we knew and you repaid us with
      slaughtering us mercilessly that what makes the whole thing mad he’s still just asking whites to have humanity and theirs a problem ask ofcom the complaints that his performance was racist I guess the accountability is only to certain things but this is the biggest injustice in human history has not been put right how the German queen of England apologies for slavery but not giving up the wealth that was stole if I rob you and apologies and say I’m still keeping all ur things though would you accept my apology ? I’m sure you’d see how it is all I know is universal law will have the last say karma you can’t kill steal and destroy and run of into the distance with the loot and think there will be no consequences honestly if it works on a small scale it does on a bigger one. It’s so disgusting stolen African artefacts that Africans are paying the thieves still till this day just to see this is all wrong and until it’s made right personally I wouldn’t want acceptance from those who refuse right thier wrongs, they are not the kinda people I want the acceptance of, talkless what your people as a race continue to oppress and disenfranchise exploit our people?? Nah I’d have to be brainwashed to want expectance to my own detriment. And the thing about truth and black history is they was never gonna teach you in school you’d have to want to know reality is black history is the history of humanity in reality but they claim it’s a month and white lies you learn in school till today about Christopher Columbus discovering a thing when it’s like me discovering your home 🏠 your living at dont really make sense now does it but white racist establishment continues to teach this not only to white but every race of child , I’ll end this with honour your mother & father so your days will be long from the sun book as opposed to enslaving & oppressing etc etc etc

      I'm white also and agree this song is chilling. The part about how if a white person kills then people say they are mentally ill or had trauma in their life but if a black person kills then it's just violence had me pause and stand like Shaq. That's a horrifying truth. There is no compassion for what indoctrinated and institutionalized racism has done to the black community. We all suffer but my suffering will never be like their suffering and I can't even imagine what it's like.
      We are all human no matter our skin color. We should do Jane Elliot's blue eyed brown eyed experiment all over schools so discrimination can't be taught instead.

    Dave released this song originally in his Psychodrama album but the original song only contained the first two verses, the third verse was totally unexpected and first heard in this performance.
    The two people he mentions are Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones, were Cambridge University students who dedicated themselves to prison reform and rehabilitation. They were both course co-ordinators of a learning together scheme which brought people in higher education and offenders to 'learn together'. They were both attending a 'Learning Together' event where Usman Khan entered with a fake suicide vest, threatened to detonate it and then knifed several people. Jack Merritt and Dave knew each other because Dave's older brother, Christopher, was undergoing prisoner rehabilitation after being involved in the 2010 murder of Soften Belamouadden.
    Dave also refers to Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle of the British Royal Family, and how differently Meghan was treated in the media, in comparison to Kate, with Meghan being the first mixed race member of a Royal Family that presided over centuries of colonialism and slavery.
    The Grenfell Tower was an incident in 2017 where a tower block in West London broke out and killed 72 people. This happened because safety standards were skimped on so companies could save around £13,000 on safety cladding. The tower was located in a conservative (right-wing) council also house some of the most expensive housing. The council were accused of neglecting the minority-ethnic poorer residents. The hundreds of victims who lost their houses were not given long-term accommodation, and this incident has been used to highlight the neglect and inequality that is prevalent in the UK.
    The Windrush scandal was when many Caribbean people boarded ships that were set for Britain (the Caribbean was part of the Commonwealth) between 1948-1973. When they arrived, they were given British Citizenship and were free to permanently work and live in the UK. However, in 2012, UK government and non-gov sectors were tasked with ramping up the enforcement of Immigration controls. This 'Hostile Environment' legislation that was announced by the Government in 2012, made the UK unlivable for those without proper documentation. Many of the commonwealth citizens that arrived between 1948-1973 came on their parents passports and weren't given proper documentation, despite being given the right to live and work in the UK permanently. This lead to many Commonwealth citizens, who would've grown up in the UK for several decades, to be falsely deemed as 'Illegal Immigrants'' and the government restricted their access to housing, healthcare, bank accounts and driving licenses. This caused widespread condemnation for the Government and the Home Office. Victims of this scandal were promised compensation however, after three years, the Government compensation scheme has only made a handful of payments. However, this 'Hostile Environment' legislation that caused this scandal is still in place in 2020, even during the COVID-19 crisis. Independent reports have found that the Windrush scandal was not an accident, but the inevitable result of policies designed to make life impossible for those without the right papers.
    At the start of the third verse, Dave also described the PM, Boris Johnson as racist. This due to Boris Johnson writing columns for the Daily Telegraph in the 2000's, where he made many racist, homophobic, Islamophobic and sexist comments. Some comments include, and are not limited to:
    In a 2018 column for The Daily Telegraph relating to a burqa ban, he wrote that was "absolutely ridiculous" that "people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes" and that "If a constituent came to my MP’s surgery with her face obscured, I should feel fully entitled… to ask her to remove it so that I could talk to her properly. If a female student turned up at school or at a university lecture looking like a bank robber then ditto: those in authority should be allowed to converse openly with those that they are being asked to instruct."
    When he found out that 68% of Malaysian women are attending University, he stated "[Female students went to university because they] have got to find men to marry.
    "
    "It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies.
    " The word "Piccaninnies" is an extremely derogatory term.
    "No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird.
    " He wrote this when Tony Blair, the then UK PM, visited the Democratic Republic of Congo, describing men of the DRC as having "watermelon smiles", when asked about this in his 2019 election campaign, he dismissed it as "satire", which it obviously isn't.
    ((Regaring Barack Obama)) "The part-Kenyan president [has an] ancestral dislike of the British empire - of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.
    " The only evidence for this statement was the colour of Obama's skin.
    Using the word Nigerian as an insult, which racism was a by-product of offending young people "All the young people I know - ie those under 30 - are just as avaricious as we flinty Thatcherite yuppies of the 1980s in fact, they have an almost Nigerian interest in money and gadgets of all kinds.
    "
    Here, he is wanting to bring back colonisation of the whole of Africa, which was responsible for slavery "The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty.
    "
    In 2000, Johnson said that a "bunch of black kids" made him “turn a hair”, and added:
    "If that is racial prejudice, then I am guilty."
    The outstanding thing though is that he, a blatant racist, was elected as Mayor of London (London being an extremely diverse city of the UK), Foreign Secretary (being responsible for UK foreign affairs, even though he is pro-colonialism) and is now the most powerful person in the UK, despite being a racist, islamophobic, sexist, pro-colonisation leader, which is all fact and quoted.

      @@anthonysmurthwaite6258 i wouldn't even say it's a competition, Psycho is by far the best track lyrically plus it carries an extremely powerful message along with the instrumental and beat switches which represent the mood swings of suffering from mental health. I respect ur opinion but in my opinion, although its such a sick album and almost every song is genius, Psycho is just on a different level. One of the best songs I have ever heard.

      Fortunately for Scotland, you've been able to keep good records on the heritage. They wiped out the Highland culture but didn't wipe out the lineage and records. Unfortunately, GB has done a lot of damaged too many heritages all over the world. I have the Donald clan name...but can't embrace it fully. When they left for the colonies the names were changed. I ended up as a McDonald. "Daniel/Donald/McDonald/MacDonald/McDonelle" - just awful.
