Paul Atherton- Channel 4- The Great British Black Invasion

[X23Ninja]

Its funny how Paul Atherton says that his first experience of racism was from other black people who in his words was verbally abusing him for hanging out mainly with white people when he has admitted on other occasions that he was constantly called racist names about his colour at school or in his home town by his white peers and even beated up. So why didn't his white classmates beating him up for being black count as his first experience of racism?

 It seems Paul Athertons has a double standard of what counts as racism for white people and what counts as racism from black people. In his eyes white people can't truly be racist only ignorant or silly but if a black people critises him for showing no apparent loyalty to socialising other black people that's much worse and is really racist. They should not of featured Paul Atherton in the "The Great Britian Black Invasion" documentary.

He does not represent a typical example of a black persons experience in the U.K and is unpopular with other black people because he is seen as a proxy for the white majority of the U.K (AKA a coconut). He was raised by his two white adopted parents and I'm sure they were great parents but Paul Atherton has NEVER shown any particular loyalty to the black community or black issues of the U.K.

Paul has even attacked black consciousness, for example he doesn't not like the fact there are black organisations and has critised black peoples responses to subtle racism which in his words is over-sensitivity to racism.
