Another great one. But sorry, those gents weren't JUST troops fighting at our sides. They were men who had come across the Atlantic to resupply, support & stand beside us. The very LEAST we can do is welcome them & show our gratitude! Bollocks to the colour of their skin! They were there to HELP US! Don't tell Brits how to treat those we are thankful for the help of
White GIs who married English girls took them home, Black GIs who married English girls stayed here. Tells you everthing.
My father met other black men who had stayed in Germany (he was still the service) in the mid-late 1950s. The older I get (I'm 61 and my father has passed away), the more ironic that is. Germany in the Fifties was still more rubble than reconstructed, but these men stayed there and lived there...with the ghosts of Nazism.
We Brits ain't perfect, we have our own issues with racism. But, if you come here and fight with us hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder then the very least you deserve is respect and fairness.
pfft! we Brits are totally perfect!
Co'mon everyone. Get that thumbs up here right now.
Respect fairness and a beer or 5.

5s getting started by British standards mate. 😁
@@darthwiizius we have to start with a handicap to even it out.
It makes me proud to be British that Britain stood up for the black Americans soldiers
Americans trying to force their ideology at that time on the British on their own land........
That don't wash with us being dictated too
Don't tell a Brit what to do. They will do what they think is right.
The British imposed segregation as was asked; it just wasn't what the US MPs were expecting. This was social irony at it's finest and was the best way to highlight the absurdity of Jim Crow
This didn't just happen at Bamber Bridge - it happened in many places where black US troops were stationed. There was even one pitched battle in the centre of the City of Bristol.
Indeed it became so well known that it featured as a plot in the novel 'A Chequer Board' by Nevil Shute.
DON'T EVER tell the British how they should behave, in their own country - you'll find exactly how stubborn we are.
yes, happened at a village pub near me in Norfolk.. The local farmers turned on the MPs
My Grandmother always hated the way the American Military treated the black soldiers. Such treatment goes against our sense of right and fairness. "the air of England is too pure for any slave to breathe."
Congratulations guys. British people welcomed ALL US troops irrespective of colour, just a pity some Americans couldn't do the same.
I love that the US had the AUDACITY to try to tell northern Brits what to do in their own pubs 😂
The Brits only saw troops,not black troops. My grandmother(dads mum) told stories that were almost beyond belief of how American military elements treated the coloured troops. False accusations,assaults,even killings were fairly common in some areas of England when the huge troop numbers were on British soil waiting for D-Day. She spoke of 1 black GI who "went AWOL" according to his unit.5 days later he was found in woods nearby hanging from a tree with a sign round his neck.All around the tree were large amounts of American cigarette butts.No local police were allowed,even though they had the authority in cases of murder.Also the local press were leaned on not to report anything.
How difficult is it to bloody comprehend? He who stands with me, sheds blood with me and dies with me, is my bother!
Congratulations on your wedding folks 😊
Congratulations. Best wishes from England.
Congratulations on your marriage, lovely couple. Many blessings.
Congratulations to the Happy Couple on your Marriage, the kindest and best of wishes and love from Sussex, UK
As I understand history, a lot of sailing ships would avoid, physically, docking on a quayside in Britain, if they had slaves in the crew, as the act of stepping ashore in Britain, post 1833, made you a freed person By Law,
True that. By royal decree any slave that stepped ashore was automaticaly a free man and protected by law. Many british naval persons died at sea fighting to end the slave trade.
The court case you're thinking of was in 1772, nothing to do with 1833 (and not "by royal decree", which would probably have just been laughed at anyway. On the basis that there never had been any law allowing for slavery in England). After 1833, that would be true throughout the colonies, as well.
@@nac5901The Royal decree was in the 1100s before that slavery was allowed. The court case in 1772 confirmed that decree.
@@edwardhuggins84 Oh, I see; what you're thinking of was in the 1080s I think, maybe a bit earlier (William I), saying that selling slaves to overseas buyers was punishable by a fine, it didn't auto-free slaves who set foot in England; the thing in 1102 was from a religious court, but had no actual legal power without the King's sign-off.
@@nac5901 Actually it was in the reign of Elizabeth 1 in 1569 in the case of a man named Cartwright where it was determined "one Cartwright brought a slave from Russia and would scourge him; for which he was questioned; and it was resolved, that England was too pure an air for a slave to breathe in." It was this case that was cited in the 1772 Somerset v Stewart case you mention.
Congratulations to the pair of you I hope you have a long and happy life together
Congratulations to you both. May you enjoy many years of happiness together ❤🇬🇧
Don’t get me wrong we have our own problems with racism but this story make me so proud to be British
What are they ?
Never used to
Anti white racism is the issue in Britain today!!
@@peterchapman3740good on trying to start hate
No problems round here. Except with those who perceive it their right to tell us how to live.
The Brits chose their own friends and comrades and we stand by them no matter what. By the way that pub still exists. I hope you’ll be as happy as my husband and I have been for the past 50 years.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A WELCOME IN ENGLAND FOR ANY BLACK BROTHER IN ARMS (RESPECT)
You should look up The Battle of Brisbane and The Battle of Manners Street, 2 other occasions, one in Australia and one in New Zealand, where the American tried to enforce racial policies and got the shit beat out of them by the locals.. .
Congratulations!.....Great news on the wedding.....Love from the UK
Awhh congratulations💕 You’re looking beautiful lassie.. marriage must agree with you.
Much love to you both from Scotland💙🏴
After the war black blues musicians preferred touring in the UK to playing in the segregated US. Hence the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Fleetwood Mac etc.
u do realise that these bands u mentioned none are black musicians right ?
@@ravenking85 duh, a bunch of white British kids learnt about the blues from the black musicians. Then they took it back to the States because US audiences wouldn't watch their own back musicians.
In America, black people are called Afro-Americans. In Britain, if you are black, you are British. Even the language has a racist tone to it. Prejudice should never be tolerated.
Congratulations to you both 🎉
Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations to you both 🎉🥂🍾
What a lovely surprise Neal, congratulations to you both, best wishes.
Congrats to the both of you.
Britain will always be the best country

Congrats on getting married my man! Much love, from the UK.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Oh, wishing you both congratulations on your marriage. Al lbest wishes for your future lives together. I think you are a lovely presenter.. very engaging and easy to like. Keep the videos coming, please. Love from coastal suffolk, England. xx
Yeah! Congratulations mate!
Congrats you two.👍
It's a great story. I think there were similar problems and riots in Australia that at least were partially a result of American military demands for segregation of black troops.
Congratulations 👍🏻❤️🇬🇧
Congratulations.
Where I am from in Cardiff, there is an area formally known as Tiger Bay. The black GI's were so amazed that they were treated with respect and dignity that they stayed on after the war.
Also, black blues musicians were treated like the gods they were. To the Brits, the blues are as important historically and culturally as white American music. Keith Richards was astounded when he visited Chicago, that Muddy Waters (Who was a god to him) was working as a decorator to put food on the table
In Britain we never really had slavery. It was outlawed in 1102. If you don't see someone as your equal, you can treat them differently. Everyone in Britain regardless of colour were treated as equals throughout the centuries.
We stand alone, unbeaten and unbowed, for a thousand years in our island home. This demi paradise, this earth, this England.
Yes, as someone has said there was some racism (not much) in British society, really due to the fact that not many people had encountered black people before. But the US black soldiers were so well-mannered that the native Brits welcomed them so much. Segregation was unheard of and very alien. You don't impose such things on people you actually like. It was unthinkable. The British would think and say "Well at least give these men a chance!" It was abhorrent, especially as the men were there to help Britain in the War against Hitler and the very ideas the Nazis put forward. Plus, no one comes over here telling us who we can allow in our homes and pubs. That was a red rag to a bull on its own.
Congratulations on your wedding ❤❤❤
Congratulations you two!
One planet, one people 🙏 Peace
Congratulations on your marriage! All the very best for the future ❤
Congratulations on getting married 🎉❤🏴
Congratulations from the UK
Note the British white tea lady serving sandwiches and tea to the American troops …
congrats on getting married
Congrats!
They had no right comming to our country demanding anything
Congratulations guys. The best of wishes to you both from the UK.
They should have asked the military authorities if they were going to ask Hitter to do similar segregation rules, once they got over to German pubs. There’s some irony in there somewhere 🤔
Congrats Neil. Found you through the Larry Bird reactions a good while ago too lol. Good to see you happy bro.
Congratulations to you two.
F1 Spain/ Austria reactions plz
The "Black Troops Only" I see as a typical British response, when somebody tries to force you to do something that you don't agree with.
Oh, we need to segregate the troop - consider it done buddy!
Wait, wait. what? That is not what we meant....
England specifically banned slavery in 1102. Colour does not matter Racism does exist in the UK from all people...but it is rare Unfortunately we are turning into America....we've imported your political ideologies and claims of victimhood. British politics is being divided along sectarian lines because minority groups can get money from different government agencies and outsiders.
If things keep going the way they are and British values keep being eroded, then there will be civil war not based on colour...more on religion and culture.
NO! In 1066 William the conqueror banned the TRADING in slaves, not the OWNING of slaves. in 1102 the church DENOUNCED slavery, but could not ban it. Between the two however slavery very quickly disappeared in England, but it was replaced by serfdom, which while better than slavery was only just better. The actual banning of slave owning did not happen until 1833.
@@_starfiend 1066 was the battle of Hastings.....1086 was the Doomsday book...1102 slavery was banned. Read your history again mate,
@@royevetts4900 Which part of SLAVE OWNING WAS NOT BANNED UNTIL 1833 did you not understand. William the Conc only banned the TRADING of slaves, not the OWNING of slaves. In 1102 the church denounced the owning of slaves, but could not ban it. THE CHURCH DID NOT MAKE THE LAW. The owning of slaves in the UK was not legally banned until 1833. The fact that within a generation of 1102 there was practically no slave owning in England does not mean it was legally banned. Try reading your history properly.
@@_starfiend Read what William The Bastard said mush before you go trying to teach history to people. Get from behind your computer and off your OnlyFans pages...go live some.
Don't tell the British what to do! Especially when someone is spilling blood on your behalf!
Congratulations. This video is truly heartwarming. Proves life could be so much better for all of us. There is more to unite us, than divide us.
We’ve had Indian military for a century … and Gurkhas from Nepal … some of the fiercest and smallest soldiers in the world … a thousand apply for every place in the British army …
Indian, Chinese, Muslim, Carribbean and many others fought for the British forces.
When these Buffalo soldiers courted British ladies, they were very respectful and didn't use them as comfort women. They married them and stayed with them.
Finally another thing that annoys me with the various American war movies that bashes us Brits. Is that we brew up (make tea too readily) when we should be fighting. This is very wrong the U.S. soldiers had lot of respect for their British counterparts as we had already slogged it out with the Germans in WWI 3 years before the U.S. arrived in WWI and 2 years in WWII. The next time I hear any American complain about us brewing, up in WWII. You will have a mighty rebuttal of we are waiting for you to catch up! 😂
The sad thing was some of the opinions and prejudices of the Jim Crow American GI's passed on to some 'sympathetic' British people who had never heard the like before (a minority thankfully) but some unpleasantness was passed on.
congratulations guys . hope you two are very happy n stay that way .
No need to thank us and I honestly mean that, since it’s the least we could do for our friends and Allies and as a side note, it goes to show that racism aimed towards blacks was mostly an American thing, that being said our racism would most definitely be aimed towards the Irish, but that being said people tend to confuse American history with racism and slavery with British history being mostly all about invading other peoples lands and taking their stuff and whilst there was racism in Britain at the time, racism was done and viewed differently as it is today, where people weren’t racist primarily to be mean so to speak but it’s simply the way things were, and as a Brit our culture or cultural problems wasn’t based on racism but was based either through what we call classism, the poor and downtrodden working lower class serfs, the poor and hard working middle class (although it’s more realistic to just say upper and lower classes but I digress) and then there’s the rich snobby elitist upper class,
Fun fact because only the rich and wealthy in the UK can become officers and whilst those who climb the ranks were extremely rare, most British officers tend to fall into three categories in the British military, the naval officers who unlike everyone else, got a fancy hat, smartly pressed uniform, their own living quarters and a decent meal on top of a decent pay, vs the average British sailor was stuck eating rock solid ship’s biscuits or watery oats with a few lumps of meat in it, as for the other two there’s the army officers who again got a fancy hat, a sword and pistol and got both a decent meal as well as the power to order everyone around him about and lastly the cavalry who were all made up of the rich, powerful and elite, being that a cavalryman was expected not only to buy their uniforms but their horse as well as their equipment meaning that because horses were very expensive animals only the rich were able to use them which is why, the term
GET OFF YOUR HIGH HORSE
Is a thing since the person on the proverbial high horse would be a snobby Rich guy, and in battle many soldiers would attempt to pull the horses riders off their horses by grabbing them and pulling them down which again explains the term
Get off your high horse 😂
Oh wow, congratulations on your marriage 🎉
What does the colour of a person's skin have to do with anything, most white people try to get a sun tan, I go red 🤣
we will always fight on the side of common sense. it's doesnt matter colour of the skin.
i hold my American bothers close.
Congratulations on getting married.
Black soldiers were semi-legendary to many British - jazz was a big deal and black troops bringing friendship and far-away new musical knowledge to Britain was exciting.
Congratulations on your marriage.
Congratulations on your marriage, btw!
Lots of love, from a Brit.
Hew - congratulations to both of you - thats great ! 💖💖
Congratulations Man!
I hate the word race. We are all human
"Black troops only" no-one does passive aggressive resistance to authority like my people.
Plus the black regiment was there several months before the other troops , had got to know the locals and made themselves very popular as they were well paid, generous, polite and had access to goodies us Brits (four years into rationing) could only dream of.
Some of the young men found the competition a bit unfair which lead to some grumbling, but every Brit would choose a black GI for a neighbour rather than a Nazi.
And when the white ( usually southerners ) did arrive and saw how we British treated the first troops, they not only tried their best to change our laws but also insulted our people, saying disgusting things about women who went with blacks.
Congratulations you two 😬
Meg hope you seen this
Congratulations 🎉 ❤ 🇬🇧
Congrats.
Congratulations ❤
only when they were fighting for the brits after the war it was a difference place " No Dogs No Blacks No Irish "
Yes, there was some but I remember 'No Irish' 'No Children'; don't remember the dogs or blacks. My grandmother took in lodgers. Two long-term lodgers were Irish and one became godfather to my daughter 19 yrs later. Only found out recently his sister had become a doctor and was working in a local hospital. Apparently it was normal in the Irish community for the Eldest child to support the family. In this Irish Lodger's case - he was always a Labourer while his younger sibling was able to study to become a doctor.
Only when I grew older did I question the 'No Children'. Seemrf strange until I realised there probably wasn't the extra room available or the house owners couldn't cope with children.
I think back in the 1800s very few people would own a house and it was quite usual to simply 'take up lodgings'. I guess that's why it was quite normal for my grandmother to take in lodgers - even though she herself rented her house. When I took my dark complexioned boyfriend to meet her there was no prejudice whatsoever. She genuinely liked him immediately , but she did tell him if he didn't look after me, she'd haunt him! Yes, it was never the colour or even country, it was all about the the person - were they good people!
According to one of my teachers, there was little or no racism in Britain until the white GI's introduced it.
It was more with the windrush in the 70s. It's why if you look at the original skinheads it was all about black carabian and white English culture blending together as one but then when Margret Thatcher obliterated the working class and shut all the mines, docks and factories that people got angry and inevitably some people started looking for people to blame. To be honest that government was completely corrupt with what went on in Sheffield and the covering up on paedophile rings, Hillsborough, the managed decline of Liverpool to basically ethnically cleans them because it was a major left wing city that gave a lot of power to the unions, that it's almost inevitable the racist ideology that infiltrated the nation was down to them to put blame away. I mean this is the government that changed country borders to create a voting loophole to stay in power after all
We need them F1 reactions, there one of my favorites! ❤
I love it too! But I received a copyright strike from f1 so I had to stop reacting to the content
@@dreamteamneal Well done you two! On completely different reactions, I don't know if I missed something, but I didn't seem to see your last few reactions to 'Only fools and horses', together, and you both started the first episode of 'The IT Crowd', then nothing, which you know was good after reacting to it yourself.
US Military segregated blood for transfusions. In wartime!
Yeah cos black is catching. SMH
congratulations on getting married, We have a lot of issues in the UK, however segregation has never been one.
Slavery was not allowed in England from the 11th century banned by the Normans, any slave arriving in England was immediately a freeman upon arrival. The buying and selling of slaves was allowed in the Empire until 1807 until the abolition of the slave trade act was passed and the West African Squadron which patrolled the coast. Between 1808 and 1860 ( it successfully freed 150,000 Africans bound for a life of enslavement). in 1833 it was banned outright thanks to William Wilberforce
NO! In 1066 William the conqueror banned the TRADING in slaves, not the OWNING of slaves. in 1102 the church DENOUNCED slavery, but could not ban it. Between the two however slavery very quickly disappeared in England, but it was replaced by serfdom, which while better than slavery was only just better. The actual banning of slave owning did not happen until 1833.
@@_starfiend In 1070 William the Conqueror deposed the elderly pre-Conquest Archbishop of Canterbury, Stigand, and replaced him with Lanfranc, one of the leading lights of the reform movement and William’s own moral tutor since boyhood. The new archbishop was soon urging his pupil to abolish the slave trade and the Conqueror complied.
‘I prohibit the sale of any man by another outside of the country,’ says the ninth law of William the Conqueror, ‘on pain of a fine to be paid in full to me.’ William’s personal attitude towards slavery can also be surmised from his only recorded visit to Wales, glibly reported in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle for 1081: ‘The king led levies into Wales, and there freed many hundreds of people.’
@@BernardAtkinson-h6z Yes, but the OWNING of slaves was technically not banned, only the buying and selling of them. Along with the church's denouncement, it effectively killed off slave owning, but did not actually make the owning of slaves illegal. Most slaves just became serfs. This was better, just, but for some the difference was 'on paper only'.
I live in the next village to Bamber Bridge; literally a twenty second walk away. Eighty years later, drinking and fighting is still a popular past-time here.
and to keep the video American, where you paused it on the 'The three village pubs responded.......' part of the video, that's a Subway now.
Congratulations ❤❤❤❤
By the way when does she get her medal😂😂😂😂😂
Know your ally. And congrats for the rings on the fingers and the bun in the oven...you'll regret it lol. Is she still saying home birth or second thoughts creeping in 😂😂
