Welcome to Outside the Gates

Why 'Outside the Gates'? There are many gates isolating people from each other. 'Gated communities' being the most obvious, where the affluent try to segregate themselves from the poor.

The most insidious though are the gates within our minds which separate us from, make us think we are different to, even better than the 'other'.

Yet we all experience the same emotions, feelings, wants and needs irrespective of gender, colour, race or creed.

For those Black,

Began with their slavery.

Or so my history teacher said.

Today a leaked report accused British schools of 'systemic racial discrimination'.  The haiku was originally written in the 1970s but still has relevance today.
