There was a change within British relationships as it was 'fashionable' for a white girl to be seen with a black guy. Black men were also a source of fascination for wealthy whites. A white woman named 'Christine Keeler' was known for her affair with two West Indian guys. 'Anything that showed black people being portrayed negatively was shown a huge amount in the newspapers'. Which was strange because I believed that Christine Keeler was 'let off' for what she did and also the war minister also had an affair with this woman but it was perceived totally different because he was white. Black people found resistance in the most uncommon places e.g. the church. Ministers would not like black members to attend their church because there was a fear that they would lose their white members. I found this strange to believe because church is a place of equality not discrimination and God is love and He loves everyone so for ministers to say that in my point of view is hypocritical because it goes against their religion. Due to this a new movement called the 'Pentecostal church' emerged through the West Indians.
