"My problem was that I wanted to belong to both groups simultaneously, and yet each group was trying to get me to commit only to them, relationships might be monogamous but identities certainly are not."

R.I.P Stephen Lawrence [13 September 1974 – 22 April 1993]
This is why I love Dean Atta. He’s a writer, poet, activist and friend. As I gather my own thoughts and Black Britain re-mourns the murder of Stephen Lawrence I thank Dean for this poem: “I am Nobody’s Nigger”. “Nigger” was one of the last words Stephen Lawrence heard before he was murdered by a racist gang in South London in 1993. We cannot find pride, dignity, love or hope in a word that was used by people who hated us to pathologise us. We were brothers and sisters before we were “niggers”.
