condolences

 Immense loss


....
The race industry is a growth industry.
We despairing, they careering.
They're looking for victims and poets to rent.
They represent me without my consent.
...
They take our sufferings and earn a salary.
Steal our souls and make their documentaries.
Inform daily on our community.
Without Black suffering they'd have no jobs.
Without our dead they'd have no office.
Without our tears they'd have no drink.
If they stopped sucking we could get justice.
The coconuts are getting paid.
... 

("The coconuts have got the jobs" Benjamin Zephaniah)

This interview clearly points out vast world of difference between african immigrant/black refugee to UK and south asian feudal/caste cannibal migrant to West.
