Kevin Andrews the Australian Minister for Immigration says African refugees don't adjust to life in this Land
That Australian ways and culture they do not understand
His excuse for accepting less of African refugees
Seems nothing but latent racism of varying degrees.
He says African refugees are not well educated I only quote what he say
His remarks smack of racism in a very latent way
Kevin Andrews will never be seen as a great
He's not the type of person we should celebrate.
With words he is clever as most politicians are
He just says so much without taking it too far
Just to appease the racist voters amongst the voters out there
And racists as we well know have never been rare.
The accusation that he is a racist of course Kevin denies
Though his feelings on the matter he can barely disguise
And though many with what he says may well agree
It does sound like latent racism to me.

In an urgent, deeply personal, riveting plea, Lemon shows us all how deep our problems lie, and what we can do to begin to fix them. Beginning with a letter to one of his Black nephews, he proceeds with reporting and reflections on his slave ancestors, his upbringing in the shadows of segregation, and his adult confrontations with politicians, activists, and scholars. In doing so, Lemon offers a searing and poetic ultimatum to America. He visits the slave port where a direct ancestor was shackled and shipped to America. He recalls a slave uprising in Louisiana, just a few miles from his birthplace. And he takes us to the heart of the 2020 protests in New York City. As he writes to his young nephew: We must resist racism every single day. We must resist it with love.

A PUB singer is set to be quizzed by cops tonight after he was accused of "racism" for belting out the chart hit ‘Kung Fu Fighting’ as two Chinese people walked past. Simon Ledger was arrested in a Chinese restaurant after a complaint was made to police. Simon, 34, often performs the song in Sandown, Isle of Wight. He said: "I hadn't even seen these two." Simon, who has performed on TV with Michael Barrymore, was doing a spot with a pal at the town's Driftwood Beach Bar on Sunday afternoon. All went well until he began the Carl Douglas disco classic, with its famous Chinese-sounding riff. Simon said: "We were performing Kung Fu Fighting, as we do during all our sets. I was arrested by the cops. I thought it was a joke but they were serious. They seemed pretty amazed, too, but said the law is the law and it was their duty. It's political correctness gone potty." The police have since come to their senses and dropped the charge.
Why is it that we have to burn down our feelings?
Why is it so hard to confess?
Why is it that we struggle for good things while bad ones are easy to find?
Why do we cause destruction?
Why does bloodshed continue?
Why is there no peace?
Why are so many haters around?
Why does racism and sexism still rule the minds and hearts of people?
Why is poverty still not dealt with in most places?
Why does hatred still make us its slave?
Why some nations are still without a government?
Why do we exist, if life is so imperfect?
Why is there the need to ask why?

The light put out
The guidance gone
It feels like this darkness will never give way to dawn
Father lays in his eternal sleep
While his millions and millions of children weep
Through this dark night
His principles gave light
Never lie and never fight;
With these ideals independence he won
Without raising a fist, without pointing a gun
He spoke against racism in S.A
All men are brothers
together at the table of brotherhood as King would say
Gandhi fought for equality
He fought for freedom
Our father is now dead
The light is gone
And although we will forever need him
This black night slowly gives way to dawn

What does diversity do? What are we doing when we use the language of diversity? Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. Diversity is an ordinary even unremarkable feature of institutional life. And yet, diversity practitioners often experience institutions as resistant to their work, as captured through their use of the metaphor of the ?brick wall.? On Being Included offers an explanation of this apparent paradox. It explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. Commitments to diversity are understood as "non-performatives" that do not bring about what they name. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. On Being Included offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them.

Of human ignorance I am almost in despair
For racism found everywhere
But like they say sheer ignorance is bliss
Just like Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss.
People carry their honour in a flag
And of their Nationality they brag
They feel superior and they differentiate
And against those who are different they discriminate.
So many people still judge by their race
For such there never ought to be a place
'A fair go' those untruthful words do i recall
There is no such thing as a 'fair go for all'.
Though we live in a so called democracy
Of racism we never will be free
They judge you by where you come from and the colour of your skin
For many equality and respect seems impossible to win.
It's been awhile since the days of Martin Luther King
His name to it has a familiar ring
If against racism he did not choose to strive
Today the great man he would be alive.
So many holding the reins of power not spiritually aware
And racism is around me everywhere
And racism only leads to division and war
Just goes to show how ignorant we truly are.

Stepanian Band Musick from Boston USA!
California's Gone
Words & Music by Eric Stepanian
We drove this car out from Boston
And made a stop in each state
You said we had to take something
In case something changed
Out here the stars fill the sidewalks
The city's name is high in the hill
The fancy cars and the silver screens
Where all your dreams fulfill
California's gone
Gone, gone, gone
Out my window
Out to sea
And every town has a vision
Or just a room with a view
A simple plan to get out of this place
And say it's all for you
But now the winds have been changing
Who I am is lost in between
So I've been thinking of leaving
And making my way back east
