Leroy Cool Meets Darcus Howe

Excuse me, aren’t you Darcus Howe.

 

Yes, young man.

 

You’ll have to excuse me, I’m from the States.

 

Oh.

 

I didn’t realise you had riots here.

 

Yes, man. Black people are angry.

 

Angry about what?

 

About racist policing, about racist oppression, about racism.

 

Oh.

 

Yes, young man, black people are angry.

 

They’re angry because the police smashed all these shop windows?

 

No man.

 

No, I thought they looted all these shops?

 

No man.

 

But they set all those buildings on fire and made people homeless, surely?

 

No man.

 

Then if the police didn’t do it, who did?

 

Black people did.

 

But why?

 

Because they are angry!

 

Angry about what?

 

About the police destroying our communities!
