I didn't know this fact, however I'm not surprised. I think USA Africans, missed out on nuff good stuff that was easy for us to lay out hands on in the UK. It then left an even bigger kasum between the US and the rest of the black world.
After I saw what happened to the blacks and indians in Ukraine recently, this song came to mind. Ukrainians denied them entry on trains fleeing the country during the Russian invasion

This album was originally banned in the U.S. So I purchased it while living in Europe. Thanks for the post.
Why they banned it???
I’ll
I bought this album in a regular record store in the US when it came out (1982), so definitely not banned...

Blacks in England...what's the plan?!😏🤔
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
In the '50s my mother sister run go Englan
No my mother gone a America she talk American
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
So you left Clarendon fi go a Brixton
And you checks it in school in a Liverpool
But in a fore we didn't know that tings would get a blo
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
And I listen the news and I get confused
A black man join the Ku Klux Klan
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
If you're white it alright; if you're brown stick around
If you're black get back or you bettah attack
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
Now the fire are go burn and the blood a run
Time Big Ben really tumble down
Attah say him a gone go de chalice
But me say him should a torn down the palace
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
Hear why
When you there you say "hey Sir"
When you go there you say "hey mate its too late"
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
So dem shoot ray gun - them shoot the poor
The shoot of at the queen and you take it fi a true
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
Blacks In Englan what is your plan
Blacks in Englan take the time
Skin head dem now check them crime
Blacks in Englan find your land
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
It no good fi stay in a witeman country too long
"So dem shoot ray gun - them shoot the poor
The shoot of at the queen and you take it fi a true" -> correction: "So dem shoot Reagan - dem shoot the Pope
Dem shoot at de queen and you take it fi a joke"
Tosh said...
Them shoot Reagan

Tosh say he a burn a chalice but me say he should a burn down the palace! Classic.
