Here. Not hard.

This bloke is obsessed with race.

Gone the same way as any working class history, be it black, white, or anything else. Hidden, but most likely not entirely buried.

Whitewashed, me old fruit

Same place as your career.Dead.

Yes, during the reign of Elizabeth I, a lost play, attributed to Christopher Marlowe was much spoken of: For thou Must Remember, We wuz Kangz.

You didn't look hard enough. I just listened to an audio show narrated by Stephen Fry precisely on this subject. But this isn't about that, is it? It's just about attracting more attention.

Yawn, this guy not irrelevant yet. Why do you keep reporting his bullshit, all of a sudden we are supposed to believe he is passionate about black history. Yawn again!

J_Bella_S Why doesn't he write them? He's in the public eye

LennyHenry must be bored these days but he is surely disappearing up his own back side.....what a shame.

driven by women, black people and other minority groups ......white male hate ?........... and why are white women differentiated from white men ....its white women that have been the beneficiary's of western civilization .....a joint enterprise, millions of years old

“It’s the epitome of madness to keep fishing from the same narrow pool and serve only the same narrow demographic.” In 1991, this “narrow demographic” was 94% of the population. This is how Britain’s past is being erased. This “narrow pool” now stands at 79%. GoodLuck

Didn't that bloke Shakespeare write something? Maybe Lenny thinks there were literally hundreds of bloggers in ye olde London who would have loved to write about its black residents but were thwarted by dastardly Robert Greene types. Futtocking Arsemongel!

This bloke has the biggest chip on his shoulder than anyone.Boring old fart.

They were very few in number. Working class histories from that period are far more underrepresented.

Well stop moaning & put pen to paper, some say you're talented !
