Episode 34: Straight Shootin' Rant Episode 34 - Black people, do we need to get involved in politics?

The Straight Shootin' Rants

Do black people need to get more involved with politics and protests? An age old question but one that has to be asked in my view. SSLJA and Gavin 'Da Gman' Henry attended an anti bnp protest back in October 2009 outside BBC television centre, which was caused by Nick Griffin the (leader of the British National Party) being allowed to be on a flagship political programme, Question Time. SSLJA and Gavin 'Da Gman' Henry went down with a camera and a microphone and produced the YouTube video; Straight Shootin' LJA at the Anti-BNP protest (available here - https://youtu.be/giuBT2twnDc ) and this is previously unreleased material we captured that night 11 years ago back in October 2009. What we noticed during the protest is that there were a lot more white people protesting this than black and asian people and we asked the black people that we did find, why do they think this is? So, sit back and watch this previously unreleased material and let me know your views in the comment section. SSLJA rounds out by asking, do you think us black people need to get more politically involved? Why do you think we're not as politically engaged as other races/ethnicities? This is a general opinion & is not aimed at anyone in particular unless otherwise stated.
