By Stanley Collymore
I was born Black and British; but
when I was literally growing up
as a Bajan child in Barbados,
my Mama: that is my affectionate name, for
my maternal grandmother who lovingly and
very devotedly raised me, because both my
parents were decidedly very busy pursuing
their own respective careers, and evidently
for whom I instinctively had the same love
and devotion, as well as the firm enduring
commitment that she simply prodigiously
showered on me and very unquestionably
as a consequence we were both mutually
and distinctly effusively as well as simply
rather clearly thoroughly devoted to each
other - God Almighty, forever rewardingly
and equally too enduringly lovingly bless
her departed Soul - told me, and likewise
routinely encouraged me in that thought,
that I could objectively and very logically
so aspire to anything constructively that
I wanted to be if I duly worked very hard
enough - meaning career wise, and also
applied myself to that task assiduously!
Fortunately for Mama and me I did both
fully and very sensibly understand what
she meant! And, therefore, undoubtedly
by accordingly and also unquestionably
doing what Mama had actually cleverly,
intelligently and logically suggested, as
was her wont to quite instinctively, and
both superbly and very successfully do
I likewise, for both our sakes, earnestly
aspired to achieve as she so stalwartly
supported and simply lovingly, actually
distinctly impressively implemented in
me the will and determination actually
required to quite successfully achieve
the career: as an Academic, that from
my boyhood, I'd always wanted to be!

Author's Remarks:
Racially as an Afro-Caribbean male, never mind what nationality I have, it's distinctly perplexing to see someone who is evidently discernibly Black physiologically, asininely and also most ludicrously passing himself off as a woman, when clearly he is not; but actually absurdly too as a white Caucasian person also. How more brainwashed and self-loathing can one actually get?
Every Afro-Caribbean born in the West Indies or elsewhere, automatically has the white male Y chromosome in our genetic system, simply because of the systematic and legalized rape of our women and girls not only specifically during Slavery but also the colonial period as well, during which our ancestral females were literally at the mercy of white sexual predators. And accounts for the variation in skin tone of African Caribbeans generally; a state of affairs that's distinctly from the skin tone of most Africans that's much darker in complexion than ours.
Facts that we recognize fully, but frankly and quite honestly, in spite of this, I can't imagine in the very least really, any unquestionably, truly self-respecting Afro-Caribbean, and I'm absolutely sure no Bajan - as we Barbadians affectionately call ourselves - no matter how light skinned their pigmentation is, stupidly designating themselves as a white Caucasian.
I regard myself as Black; my ex-wife of Irish and English extraction is white Caucasian; our legitimate and biological son and the former, quite notably, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and England footballer with the same name as myself, which I appended to him at his birth, is bi-racial and discernibly not white Caucasian. However, his ex-wife similarly is white Caucasian and you don't need a Mensa IQ to work out that Stanley's children will have less melanin in their own genetic make-up, which they undoubtedly do, and are per se white Caucasian. No problem actually for either of the families involved. Get where I'm quite obviously actually coming from?
But it does really piss me off when distinctly and rather discernibly Black folk are so effectively brainwashed into thinking that they're quite really inferior to whites, that they have to, in effect, ape those they perceive as superior to themselves and categorically so in physically racial terms; like quite obviously bleaching their skin for instance, or rather secretively crossing the colour line and even marrying whites, hoping to breed out their blackness or else petrified into not having kids, less in doing so, the real pigmentation of an actual birth child gives the game away! How actually pathetic!
And to have this nonsense still being rather asininely perpetrated in the 21st Century as both Charles Windsor and Kate Middleton, angst filled with worry about what Meghan and Harry's biological offspring would actually look like, really shows how obviously pathetic these sorts of infantile morons truly are!
British born but loyally and q6 gratefully Bajan culturally brought up and educated, I'm quite pleased that Bajans generally are raised to have respect for themselves and to be quite confident in themselves. Had I been raised in England, rather than Barbados, the ethos of my Bajan culture would most likely have in actuality truly helped me to also attain, what I have in effect achieved; but observing at very close quarters the sick and egregiously conducted prejudices across the UK that endeavour in reality to vilely segregate and marginalize those considered as "inferior" would have meant being a great deal harder assuredly. So here's to Barbados and it's very mentally liberated Bajans!
And as for this distinctively blithering idiot Dr. Ronnie Gladden - perhaps he's trying to be another moron like J. Edgar Hoover: the nigger that passed himself off as white, threatened his Black relatives most unscrupulously not ever to reveal his real origins, and as the quite odiously sexual Queer that he was ran the American FBI like a gangster cartel - Ronnie Gladden plainly has deep psychological problems other than his narcissistic attention seeking!
Dear America, the spiritual home of the barking mad; and where they rather unquestionably lead, the obsequious UK surely follows!
This poem is significantly written, in grateful and eternal appreciation, to my late Mama who taught and rather firmly inspired me to be what I am! A discernibly proud and also committedly constructive, Black human being! And for which I make no apologies whatsoever to anyone!
