The Duchess' mom is a Black American woman, and so, she is our business. But Imma leave Black Brits alone. That great beast formerly known as the British Empire is something else. I respect activists over there for fighting in their own way. Especially the younger generations.

In 1989 or 1990, I had lunch at UofM with the British historian Eric Hobsbawm and got into a big argument with him over which country was more racist--the U.S. or England. Each thought our own country was most racist, but neither country came off well.
