Have they lost it or do they refuse to adapt?

Would say its us being rebellious... wouldn't include myself in the category as I had a different upbringing and can speak the queens english when I need to but I have to admit that I prefer not to, theres that cross over that some don't make its that leap from being Afro-Carib to being ''British''. Its obvious that they've criminalized our culture even our accents mark against us finding work. Some don't think that they can be sucessful with their black selves in tact which is why they get into music and sports, no need to take on so much of the culture, they can be themselves there.

Cultural censorship. Theres an Irish film I've been trying to find, watched it a while ago, was brilliant it wasn't directly about it perhaps but it was about their experience today in light of their past history with the english so it drew parallels with our plight in that way, forget the name though. Anyway one of the main characters was always going on about the wrongs of capitalism its contradictions and so on as his dad was a successful landowner, he'd talk about it jokingly but this and that happens later in the film and he runs away and ends up in hospital after takign some drug or another the charcters dad talks with the local pastor as they were friends growing up and he says;

''They're ashamed of what we've become''

Was a really good film, will post about it in the entertainment room when I can remember what it was called.
