I was having a conversation with Jac yesterday and the topic turned to Coloured Folk a.k.a. People of African Origin a.k.a. Black People.

I had a few questions that we both couldn’t quite answer.

They were:

• Is saying ‘black people’ un-PC?
• If it is, then what term would you use to refer ‘black people’ as, if you were having a conversation with a ‘black person’ (imagine you didn’t know which country he or she was from)?
• Can I just classify people by the musical persuasion of their particular race? like ‘Blues People’ or ‘Hip-Hop Folk’?

If black is coloured, then the logic would make it that white is uncoloured. But if you really think about it, white could very well be ‘coloured’ and blacks ‘uncoloured’; it just depends on whether you’re thinking in terms of additive or reductive colours. A simple illustration: in the absence of light, colour does not exist. So total darkness (i.e. black) is actually true lack of colour.

I’m getting too scientific about this, aren’t I?

Anyway,
the point is this:
White people, or Chinese people, or purple people, are just as ‘coloured’ as black people. it just depends on your point of view.

Just ‘cos I saw a  wrong different version of it somewhere

Red Dress

Lonely December, remember Septemer
Ice-cream and carousels and that long blonde hair
Waiting and wanting your scent on my skin
And all the times that we just stayed in

You were my only girl and you broke my heart
You were just finding a brand new start
Now that I’ve found you, more or less
You still wear that same red dress

Date: 15th August at No Black Tie.

It’s gonna be a fun show - Come by!
