These projections of ‘you wouldn’t like it if it was whites only!’ are very correct, but that’s because white only things would be born out of ignorance and racism, rather than being born from a desire to be properly recognised for a change.

I see your point to some extent...but I don’t believe that black music was not celebrated because white people didn’t respect black music because of lack of respect of their race. This country imo has embraced black music and is now prominent in the music industry.
However relating to this thread...there really is no need for Black pound day. It’s unnecessary and imo just antagonise integration.
