The BAFTA N-word incident sparked outrage across Britain and beyond.
But beyond the immediate shock, it reveals a lot about British identity, censorship, and the country’s historical relationship with Blackness?
There's a lot of videos about this incident, but not a lot of Black British perspectives I'm seeing in the ether.
This quick video explores how institutional racism and British history plays a role in what we see unfold. From Churchill-era “Keep Britain White” rhetoric to modern media control, this is not just about one moment on stage. It’s about what is tolerated, what is protected, and what is silenced.
