Black History Month: Reclaiming the Saltire
Marking Black History Month, Khutso Dunbar challenges us to resist the use of the Saltire to vilify immigrants through ignorance and reclaim the flag as a symbol of inclusion.
Every month is an opportunity to celebrate diversity and promote inclusivity. However, the author notes that Scots immigration abroad has been part of an ethnic cleansing project, particularly in the Americas and Australasia.
Maybe better to focus on people's innate humanity rather than spin false narratives.
The concept of British identity is complex, with different degrees of reform, conservative, and new labour perspectives. The author suggests that it is essential to look beyond these narratives and focus on the shared humanity that unites us.
