Getting back to how it was when...

[Pstotto]

We've all suffered. We were all naive. Everyone has a story to tell, on that score.

I see 'black art', I'm an artist I watch the culture news as it's related. Now that 'black art' is to the fore and the driving force of UK culture, or at least they are given to being sat in the driver's seat politically... They are making art about colonialism and referencing it and they have all these 18thC characters in their work, it's so sad.

I know the feeling of being wise after an event where one was screwed according to local circumstance.

300 years after the event, they are still trying to get back to the event, messing around with a set of stories where all the protagonists are dead, where everything has moved on and the goalposts have move to a completely different set of rules AND YET, they are still messing around with what happened 300 years ago, as some kind of delayed response to trauma. I DO IT TOO.

The more futile the action, the more frustration it creates the more angry one becomes etc.

But they never take a step further back to the Africans that sold their bros. into slavery.

That's not part of the art, it's blokes with wigs and stuff.

I try and take a step further back, too.

It's not easy to 'start from scratch,' if you've nowt from the encounter.

I can't get over 74. Even now, I can't. I try and I can't.

I don't want this on my mind.

What's the cultural solution to solving 'Getting back to how it was when...?'

I know the answer: sex

Well according to all the pornography I'm witnessing, I can't quite make out where this problem of blacks sold into slavery and colonialism keeps resurfacing.
