Carey Mulligan had a major role in the Netflix film 'Mudbound' -- an exceptional film imo -- and is quoted in her interview about rumors of a real-life lynching taking place in Atlanta in July 2016.

“It was so crazy because, you know, that feels historical and it wasn’t. I think because I live in London, I suppose I have an idea that we’re all very multicultural and everyone is very accepting and I had no idea the extent to which racism is still rampant in America… I was naïve to how bad it is still today.”

The death in Atlanta was ruled a suicide, and apart from the usual conspiracy theories, the Atlanta community seems to accept that police ruling on the case. Having just written this morning about 'The Crown's' Queen Elizabeth dancing a Foxtrot in 1961 with Ghana's new president Kwame Nkrumah, British race relations are on my mind. Many argue that Brits are just much more discreet in hiding their racism than the Americans.

Vice writes: "Stand-up comedian Jamali Maddix is intrigued by this continuing phenomenon. Why do we love to hate each other so much? And what can be done to cure this worldwide epidemic? The east Londoner travelled the globe to meet people whose hearts are filled with contempt to discover what makes them tick and see what he can learn in the process, for his new show, 'Hate Thy Neighbour', on our TV channel, VICELAND."

I think it's time to tune in.
