The Legal Framework of White Oppression
Great Britain
British problems began with the British Nationality Act of 1948.
This Act made citizens of the empire automatically citizens of England too, and colored
refugees (West Indians) took advantage of that. Tens of thousands swamped East London,
creating an "inner city" of the type Americans are all too familiar with. In the
1952 Immigration Act, the door was at least partly closed, but the damage had been
done.
A decade-plus later, Britain passed the 1965 Race Relations Act,
which criminalized discriminatory publications.
The Campaign Against Racial Discrimination (CARD) arose as a
public pressure group, putting teeth behind the 1965 act, and pushing for more.
It got it. In the 1976 Race Relations Act all communications
revealing ethnic prejudice were banned. That simple. The Act also called for
British-style affirmative action and authorized a Commission for
Racial Equality to snoop around for "hurtful language" that might hurt the tender
sensibilities of the otherwise violent minorities.
