The racist stop and search abuse of African people is one of the biggest human right abuse issues in Britain. If our Ancestors, Malcolm X, Robert Mangaliso Sobukwe and Martin Luther King were alive today they would have organised mass boycotts, community education programs and a Panther self defense movement.

• Our DNA theft is the equivalent of the repugnant Soweto pass book laws.
  
• Our detainment under Section 44 and section 60 is the return of racist sus legislation.

So the question I ask is - Do you, our young people feel protected by us elders, if not what would you like us to do and what are you prepared to do to protect yourself? :ph34r:

When being attacked, ideally I would like myself and others to be equipped with the necessaary knowledge, skills, tools and wisdom needed to defend efficiently and with the outcome in mine/others favour. When going through a battle it helps to have support and I agree that the community has to come together to plan, educate, organise, share, train, motivate,empower and take action. If one is not protected all are not, we have to look to the past and learn/study what we did right and wrong so that our present and future will be better. In order to protect myself I have to be alert,strong-physically/spiritually and mentally,assertive,confident,knowledgeable, have self belief/worth,know my ancesters are guiding/watching over me and know that good overcomes evil. It would also help if there were "family" who I and others could turn to and who would assist in the fight when and if need be.

Give thanks for this response.

We are working on providing a stop and search help line where anyone from our community can call for advise although this is likely to happen after the event and not during it. We still need more volunteers, some to help distribute flyers, others in particular, to assist with the day to day management and others to act as a floating pool for a potential rapid response team.

In the meanwhile we have put some of the facts we should all know online at;
