JUST PHILOSOPHISING - ON WHETHER 'RACE' OR CULTURE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT IN DETERMINING OR INFLUENCING ALLIANCES. PART 2.






Many of them would oftentimes, rightly, wondered if, or suspected that most of the perpetrators - and the victims  - might have been perpetrated by Black Britons.  

Whose ethnic origins would be likely to be of West Indian or Caribbean background. 

Not that they would necessarily have been born in those regions, but that it would be likely that their parents would have originated from their.

The situation is, it seems, very different today. Black Britons are, it appears, no longer of predominantly West Indian origin, and many of them might not have been born in Britain. 




They and/or their parents might have moved to Britain from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Pacific Islands, et al. 

With many of them having not a great deal in common, except probably that the colour of their skins, and, in some cases, a shared religious faith, which might be Islam, Christianity, Hinduism or Buddhism. 

Outside of their apparently shared physical attributes and probably shared religious persuasion, there is likely to be more that separates Black Britons, than shared attributes. 

Such as their differential ethnicity, cultures, traditions, philosophies and politics.




Which might suggest that, it is not wise for people to use their ethnicity, or 'race', or their religious beliefs, as bedrocks. 

On which to separate themselves and build alternative ways of living and relating to the rest of humanity. 

Like their religions or religious beliefs and their ethnicity, the places which they come to call their home country, or region, most people are born prisoners to these aspects of their lives. 

No person choose their parents who gave them birth and nurture and socialise them into cultures and worldview which they become assimilated into. 

To be continued!
