move to the u.k. where black people are dealing with another type of trauma the type that comes from years of experiencing racism and discrimination the death of george floyd in the u.s. reignited the calls for racial equality around the world also in the u.k. protests have since then taken place in several parts of the country and one of the leaders of the black lives matter movement is a modern atan she wants reform and has made it her mission to call out institutional racism in her country but now she's facing opposition from other people of color who have a different view on britain's colonial past and on whether the u.k. is structurally racist or not. it's not from. him or an agent is speaking out. and people are listening. it's a new experience for the 29 year old actress it's only been
3:38 pm
a few weeks and she became one of the leaders of the black lives matter movement in britain. oh well the biggest thing for me as an organizer is to show that everyone understands and expresses the same narrative that we're all unified in the same narrative i don't want these protests to be unproductive i don't want us to just be marching on the roads and screaming but that's not how we need to be productive in the things that we're facing because we now have a voice. in the killing of george floyd and may triggered protests across the united states and britain too has seen a mass reaction in london thousands gather every week and. then only. 8 in says britain specific type of racism is quite subtle it starts in school history lessons show black people mainly a slaves and glorify the british empire she says the history of british colonialism needs to be confronted. not everyone shares this view as

a representative of the right wing breck's that alliance in the london assembly david gergen is here to get a firsthand impression his father is of jamaican origin he's proud of the commonwealth and british history he says nobody in britain is disadvantaged but don't agree with the. narrative that britain is a systemically racist country this is one of the best countries in the world to be a black person to be an ethnic minority a person of color is equal opportunities for everyone is equality under the law based freedom and liberty. in marne has a different perspective she grew up in the multicultural south london she loves the area but racist slurs and discrimination have haunted her own. all her life. i've been called the before. i've been more your tractor for a black woman. mixture of a start for things. and i've got one way the pants off young black women
3:40 pm
that statement has been said for many years growing up. it's one she never wants to hear again him and would like to see more respect shown to black people the longer . we must she has distanced herself from other more radical activists like the ones calling for the police to be abolished. she's seeking reforms capable of garnering a majority vote such as quotas for people of color in leadership positions. every 5 years they have a quota that they have to meet to ensure one that we can safely say there is no longer institutionalized racism within the industry and to all sides and gives confidence to the use of the younger generation to barge into those industries because they are being represented and there are leaders that's all black. david curtain rejects such demands he plans to run as an independent candidate for mayor
3:41 pm
in the next municipal election on a law and order platform he sees no need for any special treatment for black people you start implementing quotas for jobs for senior management you might not get the best person for the job if the best person is wards employed and is the best persons block employ them but quotas will not let you get the best person for the job who everybody. but without quotas young british black people hardly stand a chance say the young activists behind. and they are getting results prime minister boris johnson has formed a commission to deal with racism in public life it's a big big toss a pick at big picture that we're trying to achieve by the. with this one bad service will be one of the few that we follow but only say we activists like him are 8 and hope to use the momentum to achieve legislative change they won't rest till they do.
