Britain Is institutionally racist - The Agenda

Following the sentencing of two racist thugs for the murder of Stephen Lawrence 18 years ago, the UK has been forced to re-examine its attitudes towards racism. In the same week a Manchester student from India was shot dead for no other reason than the colour of his skin but it was the slow approach by the police in handling the case which again forced the questions about institutional racism and the police and Britain's legacy as a former colonial superpower. Black MP Diane Abbott caused a storm of protest when she said white people found it instinctive to divide and rule and she was forced to apologize for his comments made on Twitter. But what the last week has done is to put Britain under the spotlight as individuals, as communities, institutes, establishments and as a nation over attitudes towards race, colour and culture. In this edition of the show we ask: Britain: Is it institutionally racist?
