Can you expand on this?

his statement was evidence of this naivety
he probably grew up around white people,
went to school with white people
saw white people smile at him everyday etc etc
so its very possible that he had never experienced overt racism (mind you the brits are very adept at hiding their racism) hence only realising how racist the world was with his brother's death and mind you he was probably still very young at the time too
his comments are not unique to him and speak to the experiences of many black people indigenous (second gen) to the uk
im not judging his comments, i just think he is naive
