Is it cause I is black? Yes No not a comment on Bob Piper, bless his cotton socks. Rather an email has winged it's way into my inbox willparbury [@] hotmail.com about the Black Socialist Society Executive Elections and I thought I should publicise it on here.

I also want to ask a question what does BAME stand for? Is it a typo of BAEM black and ethinic minority?
