Thats what I am saying, we don't want our culture to be denigrated, many would rather live on the outskirts of society than ''sell'' themselves into some cultureless swamp and become ''british''. Until we can employ our own and ensure the survival of our values within that then the youth are going to refuse to take up on their oppressors culture when they can.

Be damned if they're going to get a job in a workplace where they cant be themselves and have to act like some David Lammy to get by... and its not just the language, language is tied in to the way one carries oneself, a persons mannerisms are dictated to by the use of language, change one you change the other.

Its our culture, our way of being, from babylon to our own countries thats facing oppression. Its why theres a culture of being, ''ghetto'' where in the carib we have the rastas culture of social resistance... probably why certain aspects of it (being 'ghetto') are so absurd, wearing their trousers so far down themselves and so on like the A.Americans used to literally take everything and turn it around, wear jackets inside out, caps backwards etc its not, ''I don't know where I'm going'' as Cress Welsing puts it its ''I'm not like you'' a need to recognize themselves as being separate from the caucasian standard rather than fall into being so.
