Finish school, get a job and don't have kids before you're married and you will succeed in Britain. It really is that simple.
Not just Britain any country , Sowell said it years back
Oh and be well mannered and queue politely.
Did Ben Shapiro just enter the chat?
that must depend on where you live just a little bit...
@@mogznwaz and don’t try to see racism everywhere. That’s not good for your mental health. It’s better to assume the world isn’t out to get you.
It's nice to see black British people speak up for Britain and its people...gives you hope that maybe our well intentioned little country isn't going to be slandered as a despicable racist hell hole forever.
It’s a bloody revelation to see this...wonderful...we might have a future if more of this is encouraged...
I'm afraid not , it will always be the default position for people who want to divide and control
I love Britain and I love being British and I do think we have come along way but there is a little more work to be done. Many black people have come here in Windrush etc and own their own homes and worked incredibly hard but many have also experienced incredible amounts of racism which is not reported in stats. For the most part we are absolutely doing our best to create an inclusive Britain but as I said some people are still struggling with racism and the effects of racism from generations before. Let's just keep working together to make this wonderful country a place where all of us can live without fear and support each other in love. I believe its possible
We are so tired of this alternative universe that people seem to be living in. Africans that went to public school have absolutely no sob or victim stories. We just don't. The End.
Very true
In the 80s and 90s I had many Caribbean pals in London. They hated Africans, made fun of them, did silly accents depicting them. Meanwhile Africans avoided Caribbeans. Called them lazy and rarely mixed with them. As a white guy this always perplexed me.
Similar to Pakistanis & Indians, Chinese & Japanese etc,
It's called nuance mate.
They probably looked at white people in Northern Ireland wondering something similar.
Sunlight....????
Totally agree had the same experience between Africans and Caribbean’s.
What a lovely person. Such a change to find an expert that just deals in facts, is honest and has no axe to grind.
Gorgeous too! I know that's a bit shallow but.............Seriously though, I agree. It's very refreshing to get this kind of intelligent input.
What a crock of shite!
Everything she sees is through African eyes!
@@OldeJanner the only honest comment. Happy Christmas darling
Mercy speaks the truth. I'm glad she's clearly mentioned the "absent fathers" issue. Really respect that.
John Chimboza: Unfortunately some fractions won't forgive her for doing that.
Denzel Washington......"It starts in the home"
Just wanna say, the term "absent fathers" seems to imply that said fathers have done a runner from their responsibilities. However, it happens for a whole spectrum of reasons. Sometimes the mother isn't 'behaving herself' and so he has no choice. Sometimes they just don't get along and unfortunately the primary care giver defaults to the mother.
@@petercottier1376 Fair point. 😊
@@petercottier1376 yes but that would be the same for all races wouldn't it? There's a clear pattern.

Thomas Sowell knew this 50yrs ago.
Very true. Great man, Thomas Sowell. His videos and talks have opened me eyes so much
@@antstewart9413 Yes I felt the same when I first heard him.
He's a class act.
You should read his book- black rednecks and white liberals, I'm currently reading it and one of his other books- basic economics. Both great books, Thomas sowell is a legend the left deliberately ignores.
He never did any studies about Britain. No one cares about him outside of nutjob right wing circles.
Mercy is absolutely stunning!
Beautiful and charming as well as first class mind.
yes but she's culturally appropriated those daft painted on eyebrows white young girls have, because their influencers on instagram tell them to.......
Filter ?
the painted on eyebrows and bright white veneers are slightly worrying
@@MrSpiderman1321 You lot should know, but if not here's something to learn you: it's hard to be a woman. I think we can cut the very excellent Mercy some slack over her cosmetic decisions.
Baby fathers are the truth that dare not speak its name.
That fact that black people have a specific term for that concept is appalling. It’s always struck me as incredibly selfish and self-centred, what chance does a kid have knowing that’s how their mother refers to their father?
@@Uppernorwood976 Yes, I've always disliked the term 'baby-mama' to identify a woman that many British Jamaican men are not living with or supporting.
Systematic racism is a truth that you dare not speak the name....

Absent Fathers "people don't want to go down that route" Mercy is correct and a significant factor.
Absent fathers.,..yes that explains everything...????
Absent fathers are a product of mothers choices .!
Only 6% of Indian households are single parent, and Indian people on average, earn higher salaries than white people, and they have high admittance levels to university. Must be just a coincidence...

Mercy is a useful tool for the right wing racists and racist denier people.....
@@070911021302 you just proved Andrew's point.
First time I've heard her speak, but very impressive
I was listening to LBC talk about the gap with Caribbean and Africans. LBCs answer was "white people are being more racist towards black Caribbean people"... because white people were above them.
I mean... theres really no talking with people like that. Our far left media is the actual problem.
Lol, pretty sure white British people were "above" the native people in the British Empire's colonies in Africa too, so that makes no sense.
Above?? Below??? It depends what metric you use. Look at where white boys rank educationally???
How many ethnic only short list requirements??? Diversity quotas???
No law in this country puts white indigenous people at any advantage.
If we were supremist and had institutional racism then how come the race baiters have such a loud voice??? Surely they'd be incarcerated or disappeared, suppressed, censored???
@@andrewbayram765 you make a good point there.
Avoid the wokeist shit on LBC.
@Ryan Sweeney White people were the ruling class in the British Empire, including in African colonies. I'm not a leftist you idiot, so of course I don't blame white people for it, I am white. But I also don't need to deny basic history either.
A smart young lady there with a head for truths based on facts not narratives.
She is not real it an AI clone
I know academia seems more inviting right now ... please Merce Muroki stand and get involved in mainstream politics and let us vote for you
Agreed, she is brilliant
Exactly the type of person that is needed to replace the Diane Abbots of this world.
She gets my vote for sure! She should join the Conservative party and become the first UK prime minister of African lineage.
While I would vote for her, becoming a politician would probably make her miserable.
The system is so morally corrupt. Can you think of a consistently honest politician?
Those that get promoted to positions of power have to play party politics even when their party has taken the wrong path.
I can't think of a single politician who has reached the top and kept their integrity.
That said we need better politicians, and who knows, maybe she could be the first to avoid that fate.
@@mikeoliver159 well said Mike.
I believe it's about discipline and hard work. These separate the 'wheat' from the 'chaff'. Doesn't matter what race you're from.
Having worked 60 hours/wk for the past 20 years and retiring now at 50, I can only confirm this.
My parents had nothing, I was given nothing, I made it all by myself.

You won't see this interview on channel 4, that's a guarantee.
They should keep this interview as a first in Neil career , that he never interrupted her not even once , and only one of them needed help from notes .
Or BBC or ITV or Channel 5 or Sky or any other channel apart from Spectator TV. Why pick on channel 4? Shows some serious prejudice to pick on one channel.

She's merely giving comfort and cover for racist institutions and the racist horde. The black community has always had these token apologists.
@@kojo1959 I think you need to research the person a bit deeper - that should be a quick cure for such cynicism.
@@SteTraxI wouldn't waste my time researching stooges. It is the likes of you who need to check yourselves.Then again, the report probably suits your racist apologist's narrative. A commission is set up, headed by a black establishment stooge , who had always spouted off his doubt about the "existence of institutional racism", for decades, and l'm meant to be surprised about his conclusions? Go and sell it to your horde of right-wingers and racists. It will give them the comfort and cover they always crave.
Mercy is one brave lady - and so beautiful ! Thank you Mercy for your strength and honesty. I salute you.,
Mercy Muroki is ALWAYS delightful and interesting to listen to.
What an attractive lady. Intelligent, articulate with a very agreeable manner.
The story of Britain's abolition of the slave trade needs to be taught as a specific topic in secondary schools to balance the debate.
How about the true slave trade,that would be even better. Thomas Sowell also has a book on this subject.
Nobody cares. Except professional victims.
I'm genuinely interested in what IMMIGRANT communities in the UK think they deserve, or want Britain to be, when they whine about so-called "racism"? They made themselves a minority, they choose to live among Europeans on European soil, and are free to leave. So why complain?

She's a trojan horse for white racist institutions and their footsoldiers.
i like that comparison with the admirable Candace Owens. It's the independent truth sayers that leave a legacy, as with Andrew Neil himself. Other political mechanics may play to the crowd but they are people made of straw.

@@marcjames3487 I want you to bear this in mind, the denials of rabid racism in this country, is not going to eliminate the lived- experience of others in this country. What is denied ,would continue to come back round again and again, until eventually, the lessons are learnt or it explodes in the faces of deniers like you, as has gone before.
A grown up conversation ❤️
The lady talks sense .
Mercy making a lot more sense than Meghan...
I can remember when a murder in this country made front page headlines, for three days if it was a policeman. What is the murder rate in London now?
If you want intelligent, reasoned, fact based commentary come to this channel. Andrew Neil is always on the money and always a delight to get proper reporting and not the
nonsense of the "wokedom". Mercy Muroki, what a breath of fresh air to this topic.
This lady is smart, informed and reasonable - exactly the sort of interviewee one expects on a Speccie website.
This women is a clone is an AI
I'm a lefty, and I think the report has its issues but is broadly correct.
The Guardian's response has been shameful, highlighting the exclusion of Black Caribbeans (whilst ignoring gypsies), whilst not mentioning Black Africans aren't being excluded on any of the same level. It is proper stats abuse.
What an intelligent young woman. It gives you hope for the future that there are young people like this coming through, rather than the louts and layabouts we see on on the mainstream news all the time.
I said this years ago, we don’t have a race problem, we have a class system in this country that is the problem!
@De Factio could you put that in English please?
@De Factio that was English?!!!
Some kind of niche dialect?
I thought it was pure gibberish.
My apologies.
@De Factio no, not really.
Though it does make me wonder how I've got a first class bachelors degree and two masters degrees at English Universities.
But no, I'm sure you're right - I'm sure illegible English from an aching simpleton is the way forward.
Bye.
@De Factio "At English Universities"
Meaning universities in England.
Did you really not understand that?
Or so you think English Universities only teach English?
Or is English your second language?
Your attempts to patronise have been your undoing - and if you're not embarrassed, you REALLY should be!
Bless
@De Factio mate, you can't write English and you can't read English.
If English is your second language then fair play to you.
If English is your first language then you are really thick (no offence)
Mercy is a brilliant and intelligent woman, love it when she speaks, full of wisdom and common sense. Which most people lack nowadays!
you easily get excited when hear what you want to hear BLM
Well done to The Spectator. I wish the BBC, ITV and CH4 would be brave enough to hold interviews with Mercy Muroki and her fellow researchers and to enable them to hold a meaningful debate with people such as Diane Abbott and Clive Lewis etc who do not hold similar views to those in the report
It looks like the government has been worried by the black lives matter movement and got a handpicked group of black people who are systematic and institutional racism deniers to write a report that says that systematic racism and institutional racism does not exist... and that Britain is fantastic and the best in the world....
A bit of sense here. Class is always a bigger issue than race. He was spot on when he said about all these different people being grouped into one category. We are all different regardless of colour.
Beautiful well spoken woman, very intelligent and absolute proof that young black people are equally as intelligent as us whites, more so in my case AND she supports the truth as evidenced by data..great girl
I'm not sure that I agree with all of the arguments as presented, but this is certainly very interesting. Mercy Muroki is clear and concise, a breath of fresh air in a very shouty media environment.
As Neil alluded to there is a seemingly wilful effort to lump together people who may be of the same racial group, but who have vastly different cultures and traditions. The same thing appears to have happened fairly recently in the US where they now refer to the various Asian ethnic groups as AAPI, Asian American, Pacific Islanders. And apart from race there is of course the ever growing and ubiquitous LGBTQI+. These acronyms usually originate from far left so called advocacy groups, but what you need to remember is that ultimately, and usually purely, these people are trying to accumulate power for their own ends. By placing people who may have little in common with each other, indeed some of whom historically have been hostile towards each other, or who's mere existence contradicts each other, see LGBTQI+, there is an attempt at creating voting blocks that can be controlled.
exactly, a newer manifestation of the "bloc vote" that kept the trade unions in power and in control of the UK government in the early 70's. show of hands....motion PASSED
The left are the real racists
I love how Andrw Neil actually wants to let his guests speak and sits and listens rather than trying to push an agenda. This lady was really interesting to listen to. It seems reason is maybe making a resurgence 🤞

I feel passionate about this as a mixed race person, I am tempted to join a party or an organisation to fight these trouble makers that cause a divide our community. Claiming racism where there isn't any is just as bad as being racist.
These race baiters are like loch Ness monster hunters, they claim it's there but we all know it's bullshit
@proud Dutchman. I agree, well said. You hit the nail on the head as they say. I don't feel safe since BLM arrived on the scene last year. Knocking down famous historical statues and stirring up racial hatred. During a pandemic, can you believe when people were supposed to be self-isolating to prevent the spread of the virus that has killed millions. They protested in my home town of all places and caused nothing but conflict. Before, I used to go for long walks on my own. Now, I don't hang around as much. I'm in doors at a certain time of the day and I sense an atmosphere. BLM should be labelled as a terrorist organisation,
I hope we see more of this fabulous young lady!
I saw Mercy on Triggernometry last night. What a wonderful woman. If only she and Katherine Birbalsingh ran the country between them.
I followed Mercy on Twitter for ages, Until i decided to deleted my account and stop using it. Mercy is a lovely women very intelligent hard working individual and a mother. ALL people should be judged on character nothing else. We have good people and bad people, And we dont really want to associate with bad people. No matter of race. We need more people like Mercy and i wish her all the best,
She is brilliant. We need more like her. Well done Mercy and thank you !! From New Zealand.
I am a white male, now I have looked at the idea of POSITIVE discrimination, and found there is nothing positive about it, I would hate the idea of not getting a job because of my experience and qualifications, but I got it because I ticked the right box, it would undermine me and my abilities.
Life is unfair, get used to it, you get what you want in life because you are rich, or because you have worked bloody hard to get there.
The sad thing about this is that the one group being constantly demonised are doing amongst the worst, probably because lots of barriers have been deliberately put against them in the name of ( in) equity
We've come a long way. It's not that long ago since racism was widespread in the UK. I'm 39 and remember it well. I went to a mostly white lower school, where the only mixed race child in the class received quite a lot of abuse. The rubbish teacher, who couldn't control the class was mostly to blame. She left and the new teacher clamped down on it. Nowadays a lot of racism is between ethnic minorities. A few years ago, I witnessed a Chinese waiter being racially abused by some black customers and more recently an Pakistani telling someone to bugger off back to Bangladesh. BLM have also been responsible for a lot of racism.
If a Pakistani displays hatred or contempt for a Bangladeshi, that cannot be described as "racism" any more than a similar situation between an English person and an Irish person, for example: in both cases, these people are the same "race." There is no Pakistani or English "race." The word you are looking for is xenophobia. Many such attitudes are deeply rooted in the histories of the ethnic groups in question. I know some English people who strongly dislike folk from Yorkshire: is THAT racism?
@@DieFlabbergast The word race is ambiguous, because as one travels across the world, meeting different people, it's often difficult to pinpoint when one race ends and another begins.
She sounds like she has real brains. Why is it so damn hard for people like her to be seen on the national level
I have done nothing but watch Spectator videos these past few days. It's lovely to see how Mr Neil discusses things. Mercy seems to be an infectious person, who would make friends in an empty room. Good interview.
If you want real unity in this Country as much as I do, then this pretty lady is a start, good luck Mercy!
Refreshing to hear a young lady straight taking
Interesting debate. I was a youngster in the 60’s and I remember the racism, although I never saw anyone being abused either verbally or physically. It was all done behind closed doors. Much of it was a lack of understanding of the culture. Mainly Asian. The Caribbean family was never mentioned except in nice terms in my hearing. They were a particularly lovely family the children were my friends and I was welcomed into the family with open arms.
O wow! how refreshing to see a clear, intelligent voice from this young women who focuses on facts. This type of report gives me some hope for the current madness going on. Mercy just happens to be very beautiful. Please don't be silent at all, your voice is crucial to this debate.
Hurry up with GB news mr Neil...

Who? Lol
Why is this lady not on mainstream TV? Explained the report in a balanced, clear and intelligent manner. Plus, to sink to the lowest common denominator for a second, she’s beautiful!!
Because she works for an organisation founded and funded by Tories. She is a mouthpiece for right-wing propaganda. Balanced? You're having a laugh 😂🤣
Well, I’m a liberal, not woke, but a liberal nonetheless. I realise she has conservative leanings, but if you ACTUALLY read the report, everything she says is absolutely true. Individual examples of racism definitely exist, but generally speaking, we are not a racist country. You’re entitled to ‘believe’ otherwise. You’re entitled to any opinion you wish to have, however deluded.
@@andrewfairbrother259 I don't 'believe' otherwise, I know otherwise. If you're going to condescendingly place words in commas, well, two can play at that game. You know that 'everything she says is absolutely true.' I'm impressed, you must get around one hell of a lot. You just keep telling yourself what you want to believe and everything will be fine ... Still, at least the millions of racists who voted for Brexit were honest about their reasons unlike many others. Or did I imagine that too?
I’m glad you’re so sure. I voted remain, but I’m not closed-minded enough to believe that millions of Brexit voters were racist. Like I say, you have a right to your opinion, and it is ONLY an opinion, though you claim to know. When someone is so sure of something, one would imagine that they may have verifiable facts to back it up. I’m afraid that, though I’m a left-leaning liberal, the facts are indisputable, the facts and the statistics back up the content of the report. I actually read it, I admit I was also a little cynical, that it may be tendentious in the least, but it isn’t. And, though Mercy is a conservative, it does not mean that she’s incapable of balance. Politically, I’m very non-conservative, but I believe in a balanced approach to important subjects. Race suffers from bigoted opinions from either side of the argument. One thing Mercy cannot be accused of is skin colour-based racism.
@@Dionysos640 Voting Brexit doesn't make people racist, and lumping everyone into that bracket shows people like you are a big part of the problem. I voted to leave, purely because I was sick of Junker and his obvious Britain despising ways, and sick of Cameron still sucking up to him anyway, telling us that to leave would be disastrous. If you can tell me how that makes me a racist, then I would like to hear it.
In my school, most of the racism was from Turks against Kurds or kids of Nigerian descent against Somalis and this was not tackled at all. Racism can be used by anyone regardless of color of skin i am afraid and no community isn't tainted.
I really wish some of my fanatical friends on The Left would watch this video. That being said, 1 - they won't, and 2 - even if they did they wouldn't listen to what's being said and find some way to disregard what is being said with some mental gymnastics.
Perhaps you should ditch your fanatical friends on the left?
@@elwynjones763 Why would one do that? That's not how to solve things; division. They're good people, just being mislead.
As an Arab from the very bosom of Arabia. I would really like to see exhibitions about slavery here, and hopefully in Europe one day. The word “Slave” is derived from “Slav” after all, and for a very good reason. I wish I had the energy and will to translate the huge, 800-1200 year old books in Arabic, written during the Islamic Golden Age, when economic purchasing power allowed Muslims in general, to be extremely picky in their tastes, and how such tastes impacted slave markets across the Islamic World, from Cordoba in Islamic Spain, to as far as Tashkent and Samarkand in Central Asia, in-regard to supply and demand. My grandfather who passed away as recently as June 1990, when I was almost 2 years old, had a Georgian slave nanny, and he was born in 1902. My mother always told me, how her own grandfather told her, that they always had Georgian, Armenian, and Circassian white slaves for as far as the family memory can go. Not to mention the Germanic Visigothic and Slavic slaves some of my ancestors had owned in Cordoba, Seville, and Granda between the 7th and the 14th centuries. Which btw, were all sold to them by extremely specific and professional slavers, experts in their own right in such a profession, known to us as the “Radhanites Jews” or Vikings.
Btw, all of this slavery business went on here as late as the early 1960s lol. It only stopped, on the behest and pressure from Great Britain and the United States of America. Threatening to cut off support for the local oil industry, which back then meant, not only buying it, but rather taking away the expertise of the white engineers away from us, which made all that we have today possible. While we’re at it, we need to have a museum for those great American and British men too.
thanks mercy for being brave enough to stand up and call out the facts ... we need more people like you ...
09:15 'Young black people between the ages of 16-24 are 24 times more likely to be victims of homicide' Yes. By other young black people. The black communities need to take some more responsibility, rather than constantly crying 'rAcIsM'.
Imagine my complete and utter lack of surprise.
I think most of us knew this deep down anyway, but it's still nice to have it confirmed.
Unfortunately this will get ignored and feelings will once again override facts...
As a native American I came here at 14 to live with my British dad , I've never had any racist problems I went to a great university made great mates now own my own businesses the UK is not totally racist or why would migrants flee to they risk they're lives to come here, if it was a racist country why ?? Also this is the country' that stopped slavery in more ways than one , but that's never spoken of .
Non whites non natives are a privileged class in Britain
Thank you Mercy and Andrew. Great to see analysis of the report and not just Race baiting rants from people with agendas to suit their pockets. Very refreshing.
Wait, it was class all along?
Who would have thought🤯
Class as issue in the most classist country on earth!! I am 😮 shocked.
I will say has a proud sas soldier Inc 35RRs been around the world.Thier are great and horrendous human beings no matter colour,race,etc.Character is everything.Great FB GB News Andrew and hi Mercy.🇬🇧Who Dares Wins 🇬🇧💖👑
What a gorgeous smart woman. The deconstruction of the family unit back when was to make people more reliant on the state.
Growing up in Birmingham i definitely did experience racism directed at me, a white lad.
It's true also that i had many non white friends that were embarrassed when we came across such clowns.
@Sergio Miguel Totally agree, i only mention it because nobody seems to acknowledge that whites can & do experience it, these days it's just as likely to come from a teacher.
stunning looking lady. ( Is it OK to say that)
yes. She is very bright too.
Well, my wife just basically said that... I wasn't sure how I was meant to respond
No. And it’s hardly dealing with the issues.
@@pippipster6767 sorry Pip ....compliments have been cancelled.
No problem, and beautiful teeth
Beautiful inside and out .. what a champion of the truth 👏🏻👏🏻
I wasnt racist years ago but I have slowly been turned...
"Detachment from reality" is a perfect description of the far-left.
think that statement could apply to people on the far-right too with all the conspiracy theories' and what not.
The town Andrew mentioned was Smethwick (my home town) 1963, made international news. Malcolm X came over, now one of the most multi cultural peaceful towns in the UK - channel 4 documentary ‘The racist election’ have a watch it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come.
Yes, but...but...that does not suit the narrative of those who make a good living from writing and commenting about "massive racism" in the UK.
You are absolutely right of course, the truth no longer seems to matter just who can shout the loudest. I was accused of an overt racist post on Facebook because I dared to point out the percentage of Blacks, Asians, Whites and other in the last census of the U.K. I’m particularly interested in the term fair representation when those shouting the loudest atm represent just 3.7% of the population. That said, I believe any racism or prejudice should be severely dealt with, unfortunately authorities across the globe tend to either go soft on it or ignore it completely. If this happened to me I’d be indignant as well. Why should anyone be judged on skin colour or what they sound like!
I adore this reporter. I hope to see more of Mercy.
This report seems so well balanced. It understands that the UK isn't divided into white people and others, and that non white populations have a myriad of different problems and outcomes, that whityes don't come out on top, and recognises that racism is an issue in some quarters and we should do more to address it, but that to call the UK "institutionally racist" as its principle descriptor on the final analysis is absurd. Well done all.
The critical but largely ignored skill for career progression is communication. If you can't communicate effectively then you will struggle. It's as simple as that. This is predominantly driven by parents, communities and peers. Race is irrelevant.
Kids with successful parents tend to learn to communicate effectively. They also learn confidence, ambition and drive. It does not guarantee success nor does it exclude those who don't have this upbringing. But it is certainly an advantage. And of course the elephant in the room is intelligence which is hereditary. It is very clear why there is a social divide and this social divide exists in all cultures. Yes people from any background should be able to progress, and they do. But the majority will not and to assign this to racism is just another example of people using the race card to get access to unfair advantage through positive discrimination.
How racist is Uganda? How racist is India ?
How racist is Iran or Iceland?
How do I deal with irrationality and insanity?
Whenever someone says Britain is racist, be sure to ask them for examples of all the Countries they consider to be less racist....
How racist is Burma to rohingya targets.
Imagine the suggestion that Britain is racist!
The history books can't be wrong!
CAN THEY?
what a great lady. not scared to speak the truth - and do it so eloquently
This conversation comes from intellectual debate through properly conducted research. If you were reading this and didn’t know the ethnicity of either person you would realise these are very enlightening findings.
Mercy is a smart young lady. Looks amazing too. Gives me hope
You can't force people to accept ouysiders as their own.
To value your own people over others does not make you bad. It is not a moral wrong. You value your family over friends, friends over strangers
Thank you for your wisdom and common sense Mercy Muroki.
