Clifford Wills is a young black man with a young mixed raced girlfriend Jasmine. Jasmine is a tormented soul, her mother won't tell her who her father is. Jasmines mother is mixed raced and does not know her parents either. All her life she has been rejected by both black and white people, but feels her daughter, who looks white, should live as a white person and forget about black people, especially the men.Clifford does not like all these black issues and tries to avoid them, but he works with another young black man, Cassius, who demands he knows his past even if Clifford doesn't want to know. The two men clash over how 'black' they actually are at work, where Clifford finds he is being protected in his views on life by four white workmates. Gary, Steven, Jamie and Sammy. They agree with Clifford and see no reason why he needs to know anything about black history. They side against Cassius in a very frank debate about race. The consequences of this heated debate at work prove to be devastating.White Skin Black Blood is a modern tale based on the facts I have experienced in 1990s London where your black skin could mean life or death. The sad fact is that nothing has changed.
