"Are you suggesting that you cant be a member of the british empire if you speak out about racism? Or have I missed your point?"

"I would have a lot more respect if they turn down MBE,s by accepting it you are accepting the racism of the past "
Do you say the same for the White people that accept their honours? If not, look at the racism in your thought process.

"Is it Micheal scheen the actor from Wales has a big beard he sent his MBE back as he was doing a talk on race at some uni he did not want to look like a hypocrite good on him"
There are lots of reasons people refuse them, and some return them. There are lots of reasons people accept them. My point was your framing this about two Black men and not all people who are anti-racist.
I am a product of 'empire'. I know the racism I have faced. If offered, I would accept the honour while my father is still alive. After he has died I might have a different response.

I am Italian also had racism going back to teachers in school so I know but I'm sure it would be 100 times worse for black and brown people even more for them not to support an award which is connected to racism
