Reminder that British history has always been 99.9% white European even before it broke off from the continent and became it's own Island. For thousands of years British history has been the history of a handful of Northern European tribes who gave birth to our nation today.
82% of people in England and Wales are white , the rest are a mix of African, Asian. A tiny minority.
@@lamueldagon7618 are you from the USA ?
You can't be British, because if you were you'd know for the majority of time Britain was pagan, long before christianity started to spread.
Bronze age were pagan, iron age were pagan, Roman Britain was pagan, Saxon Britain was pagan, christianity didn't start to spread until the mid Saxon era.
I'm not Christian, Britain isn't a very religious country tbh .
I don't believe in white, pink , blue or black jesus.
Its all fantasy..
@@kevwhufc8640Being British or non British has no bearing on knowledge.
In common understanding I don't believe that blue people exist, unless you believe in the Andorrians from Star Trek. That would be fantasy would it not?
To address your point about paganism it maybe worth looking into the author Ean Begg, you will find some interesting information that may cause you to reevaluate your understanding of the icons worshipped during what's called Paganism.
Lastly if you clicked on the video link I posted you may want to question fantasy or not why both popes are praying before a Black female icon namely the Black Madonna.
@@lamueldagon7618 I haven't a clue what andorian means
I'm not into star-trek-wars or anything like that.
What do you mean by reevaluate my understanding of the icons worshipped by pagans ?
Give me an example from the book ,
I don't believe in the jewish / christian God or jesus or pagan gods .
So I can't reevaluate something that I don't believe .
As for the black Popes or whatever who cares, in medieval times they had two popes ,
It's a nonsense that some people believe in for comfort
Because they don't want to accept the fact that we live then we die , that's it .

Claiming other people's history is a sign of insecurity

@@foreigncurrency83no, it wasn't. Knock it off with the "black cope" of attempting to steal another race and ethnic group's history and identity to make up for black's insecurities and inferiority complexes. This black reimagined history is blatently false and ridiculous, the education secretary needs to condemn this historical vandalism and attempt to disassociate the founding indigenous ethnic white European Brits from their own history and nation, by this blatantly false attempt of black historical revisionism.

Exactly. This video is just made up of untruths.
I love how it brushes over the middle ages
Theres a reason...
He doesn't have anything to talk about re medieval times even Tudor era he mentions a guy , the majority is quite recent, 18th- 20th century .
There is/ was no British/ English history until recently.
Britain, like most countries with large cities built by rivers lots of harbours trade ships , had black and other foreigners.
But inland, rural Britain, small towns villages the people would never have seen black people.
Not until the 20th century .
That's why there is no such thing as black British history.

Abolition of the license fee is what the people need.
The BBC was created to give news & entertainment. When did it change to attack or give their personal opinions to the very people that pay for their wages. If this was a shop not providing the service you want or dictating you would not buy from there. So let's have mass cancellation of the licence fee.
Can’t wait, they are communists. The most biased reporting, untrue, untrustworthy reporting. The BBC made its name when it started by reporting the facts and letting the British public make their own minds up about the news it reported. I’m afraid it is living on that reputation but it is sadly dying. GB News is a good channel online. I’ve had it with the BBC.
Its okay to be white, in fact it's great to be white
As a Lightskin Jamaican with a Mexican Jamaican Mum (so I guess I’m half white) I agree ! There is nothing wrong with being white or black I have so many white friends. Us black people can be racist too racism isn’t just subjective to White people, where I am from in Brixton hill in south London, (at least after I moved from stony hill to Brixton at a young age), a lot of ppl around aren’t to fond of white people and consider them “neeks” and “pagans” and generally assume them for ‘racist pigs’ but that is not the case in my eyes. I have a lot of white friends. And if I was white I believe my life would be about the same if I was white and I think segregation of races should stop period. 🙏🏾

Fun fact black people don't complain to white people about their issue in a social setting. The fact your black haven't talked about their issue is bc of one of 2 things. They don't feel comfortable about it or 2 they have been taught to suppress it bc the reality is when you report racist incidents to hr no one cares
I can attest to this.

@krissmgvlogs There literally ZERO black history in the Uk its entirely made up/ Every single UK census going back to 1400 shows a population that was entirely white. What you are witnessing is a genocide of the mind of UKs white populace.
A black presence in Britain before mass immigration was an anomaly, any pretence otherwise is a lie.
Why is it hard to fathom that black people actually existed before. Evryeone orginaites from Africa/Middle East. Its a known fact that UK didn't just start having white people. People migrated upwards

Exactly where are they? I mean come on! Just because 'their' natural and human resources have been exploited for centuries.
Just because colonialism and post colonial political policies have stripped them of any sense of normalcy outside of European subservience. Also corrupting their morals and promoting self destructive behaviors, political and economic policies.

Watch History Debunked talks about slavery by Simon Webb too. Abolition compensation meant that slavery was stopped, not that it was ok. There were also many white slaves on ships who suffered terribly, and effective slaves on the land and in service. Many other countries had slaves at the same time as the UK, so it’s not just a white issue but a sign of the widespread views of the time, which we rightly condemn now. But as one of your contributors said, we must understand the past so that we learn about the present. Make sure it’s balanced, well informed and objective.

You are so correct. The Albion( albinos). The black albinos though. It was probably called something else before that. Blacks are known to disguise themselves.

We do not come from France, Russia, germany, spain, italy, americas or sweden etc. These folks were swarthy, ruddy, tawny, brunette.
Read Benjamin Franklin writes about how pissed he is that europe is so swarthy. He wanted the world to be more Anglo Saxon like him. Don't be so lazy look the book up yourself.

Black people are not British, factually, historically and culturally. The history of the British European Celts date back to the last ice age, black people only started to come to Britain in the 50s, simple really.
*"[black people in british history] is sometimes thought-of as a story that begins with the arrival of the windrush"*
- That's because it essentially is: The Windrush generation was the first time Britain had any significant population of black people.
*"Black people have been living in this country for centuries"*
- Only if you use the word 'black' in a completely different way to how it's being used in the present (using it to refer to north Africans as opposed to sub-saharan africans) and count a couple of hundred peasants over a few hundred years as a 'black presence'
Spot on,

My wife and I were born in 1939 in England and left for Australia in 1964. When she was a child her mother scolded her for staring at a black person because she had never seen one they were so rare. This was a US Serviceman in the second World War. I worked in London in 1956 and never saw a black face. Anyone can look at Utube historical film of crowds of English people enjoying themselves at the beach and streaming out of a factory after work. See how many coloured faces you can see!
Black history begins and ends in Africa. Black people have had less than 1% influence and importance in Europe’s history. It’s just sheer race carding to get credit from what white people have achieved in culture, language, law, art, science, inventions, discoveries.
How many African countries have a white history month where they celebrate all the European inventions they get to enjoy in Africa.
If you don't like the BBC, the solution is simple - don't pay for it. Get rid of your TV and stop paying the licence fee; you can legally watch non-BBC channels on catch-up. There is no point complaining about it online because they are never going to change. They might, however, sit up and take notice if their revenue drops to zero.
You like to mention the diversity of the Elizabethan era, however only 360 blacks and North Africans were in the whole of the British isles across a 140 year period, we are waking up.
Exactly! My Grandmother grew up in the centre of Birmingham (the second largest UK city), she was born in 1920. She moved to Leicestershire in the early 1940s to join the Land Army to help with the war effort.
She was absolutely adamant that she had never seen a black person before 1943 when black GIs came over as part of the US armed forces. She told me people were so curious, they used to queue up at the fence outside the barracks just to try and catch a glimpse. No-one had seen a non-white person before and there was an element of fear.
They left for Australia in 1955 and came back in 1974. My Grandfather said it was like coming back to a completely different country ethnically speaking. I believe the testimony from my grandparents unequivocally.
"The story of the black presence in the United Kingdom goes back all the way to roman times".
That is what you claimed in your book. Your claims however are based on nothing but pure lies and ignorance. You gave the false impression that the presence of "african" people in the Roman Britain automatically means black people. In reality, the term "african" can be much broader; We know that Berbers and Phonecians were present in small numbers in Britain during the Roman times. These people were defiently africans living in North Africa, but they were not black! Either your intepretation of the sources that mentions the presence of these peoples in Britain were wrong, or you are deliberately spreading lies. Whatever the case might be, it really damages your reputation as a historian.
@Commie Hunter Indeed. Its complete insanity!
The Catholic Church gets egg on its face with trying to say things about St Augustine. We have lost sight of what the Roman's meant by Africa and pushed in people from entirely the wrong places. Did you ever think what was so objectionable about Oliviers Othello.? It made me think just who Shakespeare thought he was writing about.?
I agree. What are yellow red or brown people supposed to do with their proposal that God is African and black and that they dont need white saviours? In addition does anyone teach the glaring fact that Oliver Cromwell as well as genocidally massacring the Irish sent white people into slavery to Barbados where they suffered as bad as anyone black from Africa.? The Arabs who professed Islam which became the primordial religion of black people among liberationists also carried on. with slavery. Enthusiasm for Islam may have waned in favour of cults like Rastafarianism but black people assume Arabic names and clothes.unaware.that the Muslim religion was involved in slavery and oppression and did little to lift its oppression. It is misplaced confidence and misreading plain facts from history. Its mythology at best and ultimately of no use to anyone but a chosen few.

@dutty156 I'm English 👌👍

Britan is a white country in Europe. the native inhabitants (British) are white. ergo, the history is going to be about white people. it isn't that complex. that is normal and there is nothing wrong with that. but if you don't like that, then you are free to move to a majority black country where the history is primarily about black people, instead of trying to co-opt another people's history and nation in order to assuage your own racial inferiority complex. Britain belongs to the indigenous white ethnic European brits, always has and always will, their history, culture, nation, identity and country belongs to them and no others. Their civilization, identity, history and nation is not for sale and its not up for grabs.
Wodewose 🐶
The UK has done a splendid job of keeping the black population at a minimum. Consider the amount of black countries that were disadvantaged due to British rule. The UK lacks black population diversity.
I bet you didn't even watch this. If you had you'd know that not all "native inhabitants" were/are white. Or maybe you did watch it and your racism blinded you to what was in the video.
Such a prime example of Cave Mentality!! Knowledge is powerful and enlightening so you could start with the powerful, Romans (Egypt etc) whose armies (conquest/birth) produced some great multinational leaders
You are a prime example of why what you learn in school must be researched and not taken for truth. Australia USA Canada have majority Europeans yet they are Not indigenous but the history books are all about their exploits and dominance. Its called Indoctrination!!👄
Why exactly would extensively teach history that is not our own? The fact is there has been very little black people in the uk in history.

This guy makes up some pretty good stories.
Black people were never significant in British history, until we allowed them to take positions of power in the 20th Century. Racially British people, the Celts, English, Scots and Welsh, together with people from racially linked countries in Europe, and those people who are closely associated with Britain, such as the Slavs, are the ones who shaped this country.
They were all black lol they sent the blacks from British to American cities like Baltimore

North African isn't "black". It's like saying West Eurasian is Chinese.
Not anymore dum dum.
Not taught for a reason. Its either false or of no lasting impact.
There may well have been a couple of black Roman soldiers in Britain but exaggerating the presence and contribution of black people to Britain is rewriting history. This country was built by the blood, sweat and tears of settled white people over centuries before sugar or cotton even became valued commodities. And yes - we did have to pay off the slave owners (including all the black slave owners) - in order to end the transatlantic slave trade. Would you rather we left you be? There were many other slave trades too of course, where white people were enslaved - but that doesn’t fit with your victim narrative.
What black Roman soldiers in Britain are you specifically referring to? From my understanding, there have been no black Roman legions at all anywhere to be found in Britain and in fact there is a circulating lie of how there have been a few of them guarding Hadrian’s Wall which is a complete fabrication.
I take one part of an extract sourced from David Olusoga’s volume-the man who you saw on the video going on about how black people have always been on this island for centuries-dedicated to how Aurelian Moors or what he describes them as black Africans defending Hadrian’s Wall. By the way this book was intended for children to read.
I’m afraid that this point is an intentional dishonest act of implanting muddled up myths into the minds of children. Aurelian Moors are people who come from the Roman province of Mauritania within the coastal area of modern Morocco, they were not black people at all, they were berbers composed of people as white as Turks and there’s evidence for this which suggests that their blood is from that of the Europoid race and not black African.
@@wiz59 Yes - I think I read somewhere that they were in fact berbers.
What we should be grateful that you ended slavery right. But that 20 years later you decided to meet up in Berlin for the 1885 conference commonly known as the scramble for Africa. THEN exploite Africa and Asia
Even after the slave trade ended black people were treated awfully.
Many people didn't even know for years that slavery had ended .
What? you think bc it ended that every single slave owner was like. Alright you can go now.?
Many migrated bur a lot just stayed with their owner bc they had not choice. Some where paid. But who do you think kept the law??
If they didn't want to pay the ex slave. What do you think the black perosn could do?
Go to the sherif that a couple weeks prior would've beaten him for leaving the plantation ? 😂😂
Plus black people weren't allowed to go school and learn to read or write.
So how exaclty were they going to progress. Or get a new job or occupational.
Black people couldn't even go to white university in peace in America until the 1960s.
Ever heard of Little rock 9?
Black people still were seen as only domestics.

Yes it was a much longer story David, but in terms of percentage population until the last 60 to 80 years we are talking about less than 1% of the population, so its hardly surprising that there is not much evidence of their presence nationally until recently. The BBC used to be the gold standard when it came to televised history documentary film making and today I hand my head and ask myself where it went wrong... I willing paid my licence for 40 years but today I wonder why I bother, because the standard of much of the BBC factual content has slipped to little more than self hating propaganda! If the BBC carry on with their current path they'll lose the national funding because I for one am sick of paying for supposed history content that is little more than political propaganda!

@@tawanamufasa291 Census data old chap, we have loads of it, and before that we still have quite extensive ecclesiastical records stretching back into pre-reformation times. Then we have contemporary biographical sources the best known in the 19th C being Dickens along with the likes of Engel's and Marx. If there had been a large immigrant population why aren't they mentioned by diarists like Pepys? He was secretary to the navy and visited the likely places where such populations could form the seaports during the 17thC after the restoration. So please knock yourself out Tawana, you wanted sources there you go, if you do get back to me and we can continue this. BTW until I retired I was a history teacher and as for my criticism it was valid because there is no objective evidence to support his subjective premise, where I can produce evidence to support mine if you want to do a lot of reading. I'd recommend you start with Engels book on the Working Poor of England because it give you a baseline on what the society was like without the propaganda getting in the way!
The Ivory Bangle Lady from York was probably North African, ie, Berber or Moorish, not what we'd call Black today. People from North Africa are often referred to as White by people in sub-Saharan Africa. John Blanke is noted because he was unusual. His name is probably a corruption of 'blanche' or 'blanc', meaning white. In other words, he was being called the Tudor equivalent of Chalky.
Yes, there have always been a few Black individuals in the British Isles, but to suggest that there has always been a Black community is just plain wrong and dishonest. There is also the issue of definition. Most 'Black' Romans would have been from North Africa or the Eastern Mediterranean, modern Algeria, Libya, Morocco or Egypt; Black in Roman terms, but not in the sense used today.

Living in the UK for centuries? What utter rubbish. Black British history wasn't taught for one simple reason: there isn't any.
That they hadn't even invented the wheel in Africa when the Europeans arrived?
@Commie Hunterhahaha of course some African nations had the wheel. When Caeser fought the nubians of course the nubians had wheels and chariots. Caesar lost in the campaign against the candaces from nubia.
Old Ghana and Mali of course also had wheels. Also meroe, kush, Ethiopia etc. And written languages were also there. The meroitic writing is still not deciphered and there are the ethiopian written languages.
And the western Africans used the Arabic alphabet since the 9th century, the Hausa, the malians, senegalese etc. . The western and Central Europeans also didn't invent a language. The roots of most writen languages used in Europe today are based on greek and Latin. And greek has its roots in phonician writing as well as Hebrew and Arabic.
The African merchants daughter found in Britain is an interesting one. Her tomb was found in Britain.
Examination of the body proved she was born in North Africa, not in Britain.
I would expect there to be anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand North Africans in Britain over the past 500 years.
The issue is that when folks in the present use the word black they're typically refering to people of 'sub saharan african descent' of which there were none.
Who owned the ships, BBC?
imagine being so insecure about yourself that you need to lie to yourself to claim you have been apart of history that you CLEARLY were not apart of.
Second one of the reasons the British ended slavery was also due to slave revolt during the colonial era in the Caribbean were slaves would kill off slave owners and burn down plantations as well as defeat European colonial militias, slave rebellions would happen so often even on slave ships where they took over an entire ship and sailed to a to a country where slavery was abolished and if happened so frequently ( over 400 recorded slave revolts to be exact) that they had to assign this thing called policy taxes in case of more slave insurrections to protect their acre of land from bring invaded and overrun by the maroons
Also, Lloyds of London rose to prominence by insuring slave ships and, therefore, making the slave trade a less risky business to be involved with.
If that was the reason why did we devote 5% of the navy to preventing slavery for about 70 years hence? Which was hugely expensive and led to many men being killed. It was also hugely expensive to compensate slave owners, 20% of our GDP or something.
How can the BBC put out such lies .
In modern times there is 1.8 million Black people in the UK, that is not even 3%. It was alot less several decades ago less than 1 Percent so sorry, unlike America Black People are just not a big part of British History.

This kind of content is what should make people particularly proud of NOT paying a BBC licence: utter revisionist drivel of the highest (or lowest, depending from your perspective) Orwellian grade! Worst part of it, it just sound patronising like saying "ah, poor chronic underachievers - here is some participation trophy for you and, uh, the (fake) invention of peanut butter we are still glad about!".
By points:
* Stonehenge's time had people who were more akin genetically to Sardinians than to actual Africans;
* of course Romans had also African troops, but they were mostly North Africans (which means: basically as black as me!) from their conquered lands of Carthage (modern day Tunisia), Egypt, etc. - and it was very unlikely they would move those troops en masse all the way to the North;
* Julius Caesar himself and other historians actually chronicle pretty well how Britannia was reached and conquered, mostly using of course Nordic legions, because - again - travelling long distances was very risky, not to mention extremely onerous on a barely subsistence economy (with a legion easily averaging over 6k men, plus merchants, peddlers, prostitutes, cattle);
* John Blanke was an exception and again probably not sub-Saharian, brought in as an attendant of some royalty;
* history is history: if you think black history is not taught, you are being sectarian, tribalist and needlessly divisive, without even figuring out who was more impactful on this country - Asian or Indian figures are also less mentioned because, guess what: the Dragon Queen was a scourge for Chinese people, but did not really impact British people much!

Don't over egg you pudding please David. By saying that the Roman empire was multi ethnic is only true in the sense it covered a large area, but power and influence rested with the Romans and not for example the Bangle lady whose name we do not even know
Yes you now have people saying that the Roman Empire which Jesus came to was some kind of earlier version of the multi cultural society we now possess. It certainly was not. It involved the dominance of Roman's and was more like the British Empire than what now prevails. Certain races were oppressed and enslaved and there was taxation and rule by an elite. Having mentioned Jesus there is little evidence that He sought or preached societal revolution and wished to free His country from occupation. That the past is not the present is harsh doctrine.
The Romans were multiracial and ethnic. At the time you could literally buy ciztenships so there fore. The influence lied with everyone within. It so hard to believe that there was actually some black people who had influence.
They have no shame. I would be embarrassed, why not explore and celebrate your own history? This is cultural appropriation in the extreme.
