Racial Ideals In The Twenty First Century

After reading the disgraceful article online regarding allegations of racial discrimination by club DSTRKT in London I was appalled. In 2015, we still live in a world full of discrimination.
Whether overt or covert it is still happening.
If you have not read the 'yellow fever' post which I wrote a few months ago please check it out, it was based on an interesting experience I had whilst working at an inner London secondary school.
I don't have much to say on the topic except the fact that the promoter, his line manager, boss, in fact, his whole team along with the rest of society and mass media are the sole reason why women of colour feel pressurised to purchase bleaching creams to alter their natural skin tones. It's just absurd. I am aware that image is important especially when clubbing in a high profile area of the west end. But come on let's face it, a promoter telling someone their friends are denied entry into a club because they are overweight, then indirectly stating because they are too dark is absolute rubbish.

This just proves everything written in the 'yellow fever' post correct, I am going to post the image I shared once again and I hope the whole of the DSTRKT team see this, along with any other club that upholds this backwards entry policy. Below is an excerpt of a stereotype for a black female posted by an individual online. My sister sent it to me... It is clear that DSTRKT has adopted and perpetuated this same view of black women.

During the slave trade era, fairer skinned slaves with European features received preferential treatment, unlike their dark counterparts. Their offspring were also favoured and had better life chances. Black was seen as an unclean evil, whilst white was seen as pure and angelic.

But wait a minute as my pupils would say 'I swear slavery ended time ago?' well yes, It was abolished in 1833 so why has this sickening white idealist mentally still reigning 182 years later?

Although the white Ideal also exists in Nigeria (as a result of the colonial era) racism is something I could never experience.

I recently bumped into an old neighbour on the train, middle-aged white woman. From my brief chats with her at my apartment, she was warm, friendly, and always willing to assist. We greeted one another exchanging pleasantries, some small talk then she asked what I was doing with myself.
I responded saying I worked in a school. She immediately said 'oh you're a TA then' I replied I'm a teacher. She paused... 'Oh really? so your not a TA then?' I said no I teach Geography. She looked surprised. 'In a primary school?'  I replied I actually teach secondary and sixth form. She paused again.... 'well that's good to hear'. It was her stop, we said a brief goodbye... I haven't seen her since.

Bearing in mind communication is seventy percent non-verbal, by the looks and sound of it, she didn't expect me to be anything more than a teaching assistant.

Now my question is if I was Caucasian would she have responded the same way?
