My 87 year-old and his wife, before they met each other, told gangs of 'teddy boys' walking in groups looking for any black people to attack in the 1950s. They even terrorised women and children. Another relative told of how she was picked on when she went shopping - a tiny, scrawny woman! Her tormentors were all hospitalised by the 'Jamaican menfolk', who were simply defending/protecting their wives, and word soon got round for the bullshit to stop. And it did.
This is why body cams are important, if any1 is arrested and police forget to turn their cams on, should be released without charge and that officer to be investigated.
The sad thing is we invited black Caribbean’s to the UK to help rebuild our economy after the Second World War and treated them like shit . The Windrush scandal was an appalling attempt at sending people back to the Caribbean years and years after they had settled and made a life and a home in the UK ! This film is great and thanks for posting it 👍🏻
Windrush scandal was a disgrace to treat people who contributed so much to the UK over decades like second class citizens. Tereasa May as Home Secretary during this period should never be forgiven.
I lived this through the early 70s and always remembered running anywhere i went to avoid being beaten up by older white male gangs, and if we were walking about during the day we had to walk with several people it was the only time they feared us, we only went through name calling and mocking on those occasions.
@@alvisinger112 well not so much now, if you cast you’re mind back to 1993 it happened to 2 young men making their way home Stephen Lawrence was chased & stabbed & died from his injuries I’d say it was pretty close to that when I was growing up it was a matter of life and death & a lot of us are lucky to be alive.
@Alan Braham Thanks Alan, fair comment re the recent report. Not trying to make any comments about the prevalence of racism in UK. Just interested in the bloke’s experience. Seems like an extreme way to grow up.
@@barreltapper - that’s totally disgusting & slanderous, if they were so “innocent” why was their blood/dna found on Stephen’s clothing? Eltham was 99.99% white, there were no “Black dealers” operating there, in fact it was the scumbags who murdered him (several generations) who were the the drug dealers & have criminal records to prove it. Within hours of Stephen’s murder decent white people on the estate were calling the police to give those same names; if the police had done there job professionally they would have been jailed the first time
@Keith Williams If you stopped being racist since 1970 it does not prove that the people stopped being discriminated against. Yes, it is probably a lot better than it was in 1970 but we are still not equal.
@Keith Williams "protesting imaginary racism" Your words . Your claim. You are a liar as well as being feeble minded . Therefore your comment reeks of Bullshit.
Professor Gus John says that the 1978 film 'Blacks Britannica' is still relevant. He sees it as a film that stood up to racism on the streets of Britain. BLACKS BRITANNICA (1978) was re-screened by the British Film Institute (BFI) on 28 January 2017 as part of its African Odysseys season. The screening was followed by a lively Q&A with a panel that included chair of the Institute of Race Relations, Colin Prescod, women’s liberation officer at Westminster University, Ethel Tambudzai, & Saqib Deshmukh & Kunle Olulode, both of Voice4Change England. Directed & produced by the late David Koff & Musindo Mwinyipembe for Boston’s WGBH radio station as part of their weekly series, World, the 1-hour documentary tells the story of the African Diaspora in Britain through the narratives & struggles of the black community in Manchester, Bradford & London. It features political, cultural & scholar activists such as Jessica Huntley, Kath Locke, Colin Prescod, Darcus Howe, & John La Rose, & groups of militant young Africans in those 3 cities.

@@shep6994 Inter-generational wealth stolen. Those houses would have been paid off by the 90's & could have been used as collatoral for business start ups/university fees for next gen.

Happened in Nottin Hill & Tottenham too same time, those areas reach £600k-£1m in value today.

@@TheHardys01 You could say that here, but there have absolutely been attempts, revolutions states, communes all kinds of forces and historical experiments that existed in defiance to global Capitalism. Good and bad we must learn from history and work towards building it. It may not happen right away, it may take transition and time, It may take total global collapse economically and environmentally, it may need to happen globally or it could start in one state, defend itself and hold out until the rest follow. I'm basically shortening theory above there's strategies still in development, theory on going, history we are living through. No doubt there will be more failed experiments and states, but we need to remember capitalism was not eternal. It was predated by feudalism and it was built on colonialism, slavery imperialism and the modern forms of imperialism and neo colonialism. It has an end, and only we can decide whether it is barbarism and extinction or something real that we build and fight for.
To know that my dad came to london without a penny and made his way from the bottom and bought a large family home in this hostile environment makes me respect him even more. He has never complained either. He sometimes mentions that there was a lot of racism but he never goes into any detail
There is a way in which God created Black people. I also dont understand out breed of people. Very resilient and strong. You push them but they still get up.
There never are any details are there,, it was just 'there' apparently, not that anyone went in looking for it, oh no, I'm sure no white man ever lifted a finger to help your dad either did they?
@@callithowiseeit5806 he doesn't give any details because he just got on with it and he won in the end. Hes a very positive person. But he did mention that white english landlords wouldnt rent to black people (no blacks no dogs and no irish) when he bought his house he later let an irish family live with us and we grew up with their kids for a period of time. The downtrodden helping each other. That's the way forward. There probably were some really nice english people around him but that doesn't change the fact that the system was and is not in his favour and put him at a massive disadvantage.

I took a look 23 minutes and what do I find an attempt to include the British Working class into this mix of look what they're doing to the Blacks Mummy. All of this is a total diversion. The Blacks never mention the FACT that hundreds of thousands of Blacks, in Africa, were involved in the Slave industry. not White Britishers, Black African's who sold their own people to Jew slave traders. So why are these never were slaves anyway, bleating at me as if I had something to do with their problem. I did not and I am sick and tired of listening to them arguing for ever more recompense from me and others who had nothing to do with slavery. Thank GodI come from a country where even though we had tough times we got over it because we were men, not bleating little prats, like these criminals who rape 33,000 White women in the USA every year and are responsible for 52% of murders more than all the other races combined and in South Africa the murder capital of the world they are busily carrying out a genocide against the Whites, that is when they are not eating each other or indeed boiling white babies and eating them in front of the child's screaming parents.

As someone born and raised 3 miles from Brixton when it was a lovely White Middle-Class area ( hence the architecture ) allow me to say I love having a healthy-looking tan complimenting my European features including Blue Eyes.

Oh! Cheers, My Friend. I have spent 66 years in London thinking that and now you have told me the truth. It is going to be a hard pill to swallow realizing that :) My live-in Jamaicangirlfriend from "Country" tells me that nearly every day mate. haha
Windrush was the beginning of a monumental immigration balls up. Ordinary British people were not consulted because the educated ruling classes believed it was their gift to decide what was best for them. The 1948 immgration act that granted people from allover the commonwealth the right to simply arrive in the UK and as soon as their feet landed they were entitled to all the rights and priviliges of those whose ancestry was here. Legal status, healthcare, benefits everything. It was offered partly in gratitude for the contributions that some commonwealth countries made to the war effort and partly to rebuild Britain. It was a monumental misjudgement and the beginning of the end of the native Celtic/AngloSaxon nation.
Everyone hates multiculturalism. As native British we do not hate anyone . We merely wish to preserve our own way of life . We do not understand other cultures and we do not know why we have had them imposed on us and it is hard enough co existing with even our own people due to the rigid class system which in its own way is as cruel as any other type of discrimination.
Kalergi plan is a good place to start. Don't you find it strange that after the war we started up social programs and imported people from halfway around the world against the wishes of the population? Japan had a nuclear bomb dropped on it, it didn't need immigrants to help it rebuild. It's almost as if the Communists won.
@ Grief Tourist ...Your country historically, enslaved and colonized the countries where your immigrants are from for hundreds of years exploiting people by paying little or nothing for labour in those countries. 60 to 70 years ago, your country was short of labour after World War 2 . Your government invited or enticed its subjects from its colonies to do skilled labour jobs in your towns and cities because shortage of labour. These immigrants then have born children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in your country. Your country also kept many of the colonies in a bad economic state because your government took loans to pay the English planters who brought enslaved Africans to the Caribbean for the loss of their stock ( human beings) after slavery ended, but no payment to the freed Africans or their descendants up to this day. This now entice those citizens to go to your country for better economic opportunities. If you read extensively you would know... I hope you understand now.
Born in 75. Racism was the norm on the streets, in the schools, at the shops. Anywhere there were white people there was racism. It was horrible growing up in ‘hell’ as a child.
Was this London? No racism during the 70s or early 80s. Only the police seeking promotion. Blacks were used as scapegoats - especially with drugs - to justify their importance.
My mom and father was in the UK in the mid fifties a taste of their racism. Nothing changes world wide. There will always be those who hate us because of their own self inflicted fears and their generational curse of cruelty to others who do not look like they do.
...There is no country on earth that isn't racist, xenophobic...if you as an outsider step into that land you will taste racism...no one hates you...this is what it is like, would be like for any outside people anywhere.
Chinese abroad look down on phillipinos or malays. English look down on irish, haussa look dowm yoruba. But the only people who internalized a colour race concept are the peoples of slave societies like United States or carrebean.
Do you not hate you when you’re in your own country providing for yourself. It’s when you invade other countries steal the infrastructure and society that they have created for themselves this causes racism.
I am so grateful as a White Brit to have watched this documentary and be able to share it. Black British history is every Brit’s history. It must be heard.

Thank you for posting this video. Could you please post the whole documentary? Im from America and never knew that British Black people went through so much. The music, message and story are amazing. 2021 and the same issues. The only things that have changed are the clothing and the date on the calender.
I believe Linton Kwesi Johnson's documentary, Dread Beat and Blood was also banned in the uk because he criticized the police as well as the british school system's racist attitude toward black youth.
This is true. Teeth-grittingly, rage-inducingly true. It made every listening of the album more important. Especially on a personal note, given a shared name with the righteous LKJ, whom i discovered early in my angry mixed race adolescence. An early and enduring influence for which I'm forever grateful...
Never used to be a bitch at all. London had a great Community. I was born and raised just 3 miles from Brixton and Peckham and that area was so safe in The 1960's that The London Evening News vendor left his stack of papers and his moneybag lying in the road overnightand the money was still there the next morning...
@@Isleofskye why you picking on the mixed-race youths, they are not killing each other through knife crime, you chatting rubbish, where are your facts, the problem with black youth today, a good percentage are coming from African backgrounds that have seen civil wars, ethnic genocide, poverty. Put this with thier experience of Britain today such as low incomes, social exclusion etc, their are 3to 5 generations of black British mainly from a carribean background that have assimilated into British society, a good amount of those are from a mixed-race background because of assimilation, so get your facts right before making stupid statements.
🥀Very interesting and important documentary. It always amuses me when there are racist English people saying they want foreigners out of their country. When you see a lot of white English people moving to the Caribbean, Thailand and other brown and black countries to live.🥀
So it amuses you to find English people going abroad does it? Well rest assured when they get there their first stop will not be the Welfare Office, they will be taking care of their own needs not looking for charity so they will be good for their adopted country. I hope that puts your mind at rest..
@@barreltapper You are out of context, and timeline on your statement! Possibly clueless on black social history for Britain too. The welfare you are referring to had nothing to do with first and second generation of Caribbeans that were INVITED to Britain. The documentary shows where they worked and lived, but you probably did not watch it. The group were met with hostility and deep seated hatred, hence countlessly rejected from job applications and rental property. Welfare would have been the last resort, as it was shameful to do so amongst the peers.
@@colint8259 So what were the "Windrush Generation" using to pay their rent in these places that refused to house them? The Welfare State was set up all across Europe after the war and it was a means of making it possible for all the immigrants who arrived to be given money. How do you think they survived if they were not already re-building Britain and all that guff with everybody against them. Show your evidence not just the sermon of a bunch of rappers..
@@barreltapper I used to work with the Black Cultural Archives (BCA), now in Windrush Square, Brixton. I suggest that you contact there and obtain 'evidence' of the 12-18 Caribbeans in shared houses doing work shift rotations, and sharing the beds that could fit in the property. I am very much clued-up on the state of post-war Britain, as my grandmother was a nurse at that time and described. They paid for the rent from WORKING sometimes three part-time jobs, and used the 'Pardoner Process' to support each other as loans. Those that did work covered for the unemployed as part of the Pardoner resource until employment was found. Read the welfare statistics for the time and the book called 'The West Indian comes to Britain' which was a UK charities research published in the late 1960s. The Pardoner system was our safety net until the early 80's, and is again created as a reaction to the vile nature and destructive practice of the white people who closed every door.
That guy with the dreads and glasses who is interviewed a few times wearing different shirts. wonder if he’s still with us today and what’s he doing he talks a lot of sense very smart guy
Please post the whole documentary black Americans need to see this many including myself at one point was ignorant of what blacks in Britain go through. Thx for posting
Our situation mirrors the melinated African American's situation. The difference is that melinated African Americans can change their situation due to their economic power. We stand no chance over here because we are too small in number, and we have not got the the economic power. Remember that many European nations are the mothers of racism, America learnt well. Nothing much has changed.
Black America is the first product of British slavery- this WAS BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. British Empire started in VIRGINIA, 1607, NOT 1620 with “Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.” It started here in Virginia- in the SOUTH. #BritainandBlackAmerica #Virginia1607 #Virginia1619
3 years and it wasnt just Brixton. You clearly no nothing about British history. The rioting was also other parts of London and Bristol and Liverpool. 4 years later 1985 Brixton and Tottenham fast forward to 2011 and as London burned again has anything really changed?
I went for an interview for a job and in those days agency arrange the interview. Before I left for the interview the recruiter telephone them to inform them I was on my way. As soon I arrive in the building, the person who was supposed to interview me told me the job was no longer available due to the color of my skin. The recruiter told me it was racism. I went back to the agency and was offered a better opportunity, past the test for the job and got it. Racism is like a viruses

wow! this was actually banned and only shown on a cable station in Austin Texas?! funny nothing wrong with the film unless the truth makes you that uncomfortable. while I've seen better films, this is a good one and worth saving and sharing and showing to friends especially in light of the protests in Britain, Windrush scandal, the deaths in custody of blacks at the hands of police epidemic, and when one is taught about Brixton uprisings and Stephen Lawrence.
@gabriel gervais but you are not being honest at all. I will allow that you are ignorant and that excuses you from.being called dishonest but you betray that ignorance by claiming they were "invited". Parliament doesn't have the power to "invite" anyone. I dont know how many times people like yourself have to be told that. Post war immigration policy is illegal. Parliament much as it likes to entertain the delusion it is the country is merely the hired help. Just like it had to be told (repeatedly) it did not have the authority to give the legitimate citizenry of this country away to a foriegn power (the EU as is) so it doesn't have the authority to dilute that citizenry's power by way of an invasion policy. The fact that it has got away with for 75 years is no more relevant than the fact it got away with its EU policy for nearly 50 years. Now if you're saying there were instances of police brutality and that it was done by some white police officers because of their prejudice I cant deny that anymore than I can forget I personally witnessed and experienced rampant racism and brutality by black people on white from as far back as the late 1960's. Those views and that violence and who it was aimed at, given the ages of those blacks comitting those acts could only be explained by ingrained racist attitudes of adult black people being passed onto their children. We can all play that game to the cows come home. The fact remains that if this country was in any shape or form racist in the way its portrayed, and you are helping portray it, we would not have the number of invaders of this country we do, many of them black. I would have some sympathy for their position if they were here legally, that they had entered this country in a manner that was consistent with how they think white people should have entered countries they now approved being released from control of white people, but they didn't.They still dont. The hypocrisy they display is so cock-eyed it inky further demonstrates just how racist they are. A real honest assessment of the situation is that they are here illegally, that whatever injustices they have suffered it is nowhere near the injustices the British people have had to suffer from tthem being here. If your charge is simply racism regarding.the police, they are just as racist today, but against British people. I don't condone racism in anyone but if you were to ask me which example of it was truly beyond the pale it has to be the latter. Its so sick the institution of the police has to be dismantled and all those supporting immigration policy purged from.its ranks and any invaders within it deported and reconstituted from.scratch. it might also be a good idea to remind the newly constituted organisation just exactly what the limits of Parliamentary authority is and that the defence of "I was only following orders" hasn't cut the mustard since 1945 (around about the same time this invasion began). In short your "honest" assessment doesn't appear to mention any of that and because it doesn't its not of much value.
John 15:18-27 King James Version 18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin. 23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also. 24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. 25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause. 26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: 27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.
Wow, you have been screaming out for so long and we just wouldn't listen, I've found myself on a major youtube black history lesson after George Floyd was killed and I'm shocked to my core.
@Sayit AsItIs Why does it matter what his character was? He was killed by the police when he shouldn't have. Stop using a strawman argument. It was wrong whether he was a saint or not? And you're too deep about conspiracy theories and marxism. It's not political. Do you believe Black Lives matter if yes, that's it, I don't care about politics.
I was 12 years old in 1978 and I remember the race issues. I personally think that the United Kingdom can be a harsh place to live if you happen to be poorer as opposed to wealthier, it's not just a race thing in my opinion but more of a class dived. I'm happy living in America now.
I agree with you as a Black English man. There are many deprived communities in this country that are full white. Though there are significant deprived communities that are black or Asian. Though the idiots on your replys obviously could not read properly as you said socioeconomic divide is in addition to racism
No. The U.K. introduced the slavery abolition act 1833 1st Country to do so. The american/COLONISTS opposed this. Many historians state this is the reason for the war of Independence and america separating - independent. Slavery continued in the states officially,till 1856/70; proofs in the pudding. Continuing with Jim Crow laws till 1965/68.A travesty. The States have another level of problems. Slavery has never existed in England and wales; colonies yes. Remember Africa and other continents still have slavery TODAY and have done for 1000's of years the Europeans exploited. Look to the Cartwright case of 1559 and in particular the stewart Somerset case of 1772 in England, to see how blacks were treated in England. This has founded a different perception to the United States. Does this mean racism does not exist? No, its found everywhere.
@@Heaven-dy9lj the UK being the first to abolish the slave trade doesnt undo the centuries of pain the inflicted on this world wether its through the empire or that atlantic slave trade. And just because slaves didnt actually touch british soil doesnt mean that they didnt have slaves, we had them in the colonies, we had them in britian. Africa and various other countries still have slavery and slavery still goes on here too, that doesnt provide any justification for our racial issues today. It's not as brutal here as it is in the states but we still have a problem. this is a country of ignorance and hypocrisy.
@@zakrowe1301 No it doesn't. Slavery will exist. Tell me, where does the word Slave come from? Are the Slavic people in 'pain' and demonstrating? I could give countless examples of slavery that has existed against whites, black asian. It has been since through the ages.Everyone has suffered. The city of Bath should be destroyed, being built on the back of indigenous British slaves The States situation is totally incomparable to the U.K. Jim Crow segregation laws ending only in the late 60's slavery ending only 150 yrs ago. It's a historical fact that slavery has never existed in the uk in the past 1000 yrs, serfdom, yes. The fact is that people chose to ignore is that Black on Black Slavery was very much established in Africa for 1000's of years the European expolited it. Every race has been exploited and used, suffering in pain. Civilisation is marked by the quality of moving on....progress. Anything but this is happening. Look at Africa today. No progress. 10 million Africans killed by fellow black leaders in the past 50 years, 7 million in slavery TODAY! Who cares about their pain, and WHO IS INFLICTING that painTODAY??? The uk introduced the 1833 law, what has Africa done? Hypocrisy is rife.
@@thecrypto5340 Social attitudes in Britain have changed significantly since this documentary made. Yes, things are not perfect and racism has not been extinguished but explicit racist thinking and notions have been pushed to the far flung fringe. Even the most right wing, nationalistic political expressions, know that playing the race card and being anti people of colour isn't going to reap much support even amongst the most disaffected and disadvantaged sections of the white population and hide behind other causes. Incidentally, these other causes attract support from not a few in the BME community.

I was born in England in 1964 and just found this documentary. Although I left in my early 20's I was shielded and unaware of how bad thing were, and what my parents went through. They never really discussed the racism. I would hear about how hard things were for them, and racism came from other sources. I now live in the US, but unfortunately there is racism here too. This documentary is so relevant today as it pains my heart to say nothing really changes. Racism is still everywhere, whether you are in the UK or the US. People are still dying at the hands of racists 😐😐🤥🤥

My parents immigrated from Guyana to England where my brother was born and left there because of the racist politicians and moved to Canada instead...it just astonishes me at the BLATANT racism and hatred towards minorities back then and the fact that while it may exist, there is now literally a bi-racial race in England ..at least that is the last time I was there, which admitedly was many years ago - I had noticed seeing more bi-racial people than black OR white for example..at the end of the day we are all humans.
@sarah jones I disagree with everything you're saying except for racism still existing and older generations passing it on. Integration is fine, only people really against it are in the minority.
@@zakrowe1301 sarah jones deleted my response to her..which was that she must be culturally unevolved as London is not at all what she described and probably lives on the countryside..when Hitler bombed the crap out of England they were begging minorities to come help rebuild it. Enoch Powell was a filthy bigot and listen to how she talks as though being able to live among others of differnet ethnicity and having a good heart is a problem..A lot of white people eat curry and listen to reggae music in England..she is just a sick woman with her thoughts..clearly lmbao
I dont know where in England you went to, but it damn sure aint more bi racials then blacks or whites over here! NO WHERE NEAR CLOSE, I was born and raised here...
You wish. We are indoeuropean and England and Canada are as states white countries, were built from the white poeple just like the 13 colonies of the US.
There's another channel who just uploaded this very rare documentary (in 2021) without any real credit to this particular channel who had is available since Dec 23, 2016? ! My intuition tells me it was taken from this channel.
One thing that hasn’t changed also is that we are still as divided as ever and haven’t United to create black businesses and banks We haven’t learnt how to market our know how to other communities We are capable but have not decided to move out of the box we have been put in It’s time to stop complaining and leave this box by any means This will only be possible when African British West Indian Africans unity There is enough of us The UK
The problem is we got our priorities in reverse, we are not bred to be financially intelligent and harvest generational wealth, we want the quick fix everything now because tomorrow is never promised mentality.
I think England is a lot better than it was. I grew up in the 80s in Essex and experienced a lot of racism being Asian. It is lot better now. I found Europe to be worse and obviously US is. But the subtle racism will always exist. Unfortunately that is going to be even more after the BLM protests die down, Black people will be even more discriminated.
we're all here to make that change, brick by brick so history will no longer be history repeating. Don't lose heart, the strength of this generation is strong and we won't stop until things do change.
Crazy how Germans who we fought in both world wars find it easier to get into the UK than those countries in the commonwealth (like Jamaica, Nigeria, India etc.) that fought alongside England.
B.B.J. Crazy how you didn’t mention Australia, Canada and New Zealand. 🤔 Maybe because they’re “white”? They fought Germany too you know and they can’t come to the UK willy nilly either. And we voted out of the EU if you haven’t realised So Germans won’t be able to come here willy nilly either. And just so you know. Australians, Canadians and New Zealander’s are even more deserving then Caribbean’s of living in the UK because they’re British. They came from the British Isles in the first place.
Britopia i don’t have to mention them but they can be included in my point which is countries that fought against Germany, still find it harder to get into the UK than Germans. Let’s not lie to ourselves Germans will still find it easier to get into the UK than the countries I mentioned even after brexit, ffs even the Japanese find it easier, you know exactly the point I’m making yet people like you try so hard not to see it. . And your idea about them being “more deserving” is subjective, race doesn’t determine nationality. A black Canadian who is ethnically Caribbean will find it just as easy as a white Canadian to enter the UK so that had no relevance to what you’re talking about.
B.B.J. They are more deserving. And it’s not about race. They are British. I’m not saying they’re more deserving because they’re white. Greeks are white. I’m saying it because they’re British. They are from the British Isles. We’re the same people. Of course I’m biased though. I have Australian family. But it’s not a one way street. It’s not that easy for Brits to go to CANZs countries or the Caribbean either. It’s easier for UK citizens to go to Germany whether we’re black or white. Because the UK had that set up with them via the EU.
Britopia This is exactly my point, an indigenous Australian (who is not even remotely British) is still given just as much access to the UK as an ethnically British Australian hence why I said your justification id invalid. And actually, it is easier for UK nationals to go to some countries while the UK don’t give them the same access back in general. Jamaica for example grants UK nationals visa free travel to to Jamaica but the same is not reciprocated, and it’s quite the trend across the Caribbean and the world in general. Lastly I wasn’t talking about how or why Germans came about to have easier travel to the UK, I’m solely talking about the fact that they do and Jamaicans for eg. Who were called upon to help build the UK back after Just fighting Germany as they were commonwealth citizens now find it harder to get to the UK than the Germans themselves.
Perhaps instead of coming to the Caribbean to convince people to come to England, it would have well served the country. For them to fix the destroyed infrastructure that their cousins the Germans did to them, as well as dig up for burial dead bodies from the bombs. Some Caribbeans did that you know all in the past now the fascist, racist tendencies are coming back looking forward to watching England read the riot act to a Russia that is their enemy not ours.
So many of our problems arise from corruption and lack of accountability in local government. Housing policy is often determined by what planners and builders want. Architects seek status within their professions; builders want money. The description of how the black community in Moss Side was broken up is very similar to the way that the white community in Deptford in SE London was broken up against their wishes. th-cam.com/video/kEam6jk9LFQ/w-d-xo.html The places designed for the people displaced included such places as the Broadwater Farm Estate in Tottenham and Southwyck House in Brixton built in the late 60s in the Brutalist style and immediately blighted with problems of crime due to the design of the buildings and the time needed to re-create a sense of community amongst disparate families.
That housing complex where there are only two entrances/exits is alarming. What if there is a fire? Would everybody be able to get out in time? The only saving grace is that it is of mostly concrete construction.
I wonder how the black people in British feel today 2020 peace to them.

I was told that by Adults in around 1969/70 that The Whites would "end up in the sea" and they are heading for the sea in multitudes. I'm 66 from near Brixton and Peckham when they were 98% White Middle-Class areas. Gradually area by area changed as Whites took " White Flight" to The Suburbs in The 1970's/1980's/1990's and those SAME people are now moving another stage out to THe Countryside and Coast...
They do that now. I'm not joking, they have crime maps, so they use stats to see where crime is likely to happen, what type, what time, what place and it works. www.adt.co.uk/crime-in-my-area This is just a public version but you can access the police version.
This has always been more a class issue t.he white working class where and are treated the same . ...if yout take away colour you still have class barrier which is still here too ! Black people are considered worrking class the uk is more class ridden ..they divded and ruled pit one poor group againts another to stop uou looking at them the rich and piowerful this were things get misunderstood it a capiltlism problem ..we were all out if work back then white working class and black people i
@ i would partially agree with him. Its the false consciousness engineered by the 'elite' which the poor white working class with great dogmatism absorbed into their being, that indirectly fuels the systematic violence on minorities. A similar contemporary example would be Brexit the narrative of taking 'our' country back, resulted in constituencies that receive millions a year from the EU voting to leave (like turkey's voting for Christmas).

26:53.... up till this point can’t disagree.. but guess what bud.. in whyte areas they do the same to us.. harassed us as kids then when I was older been twisted up, cops threatening me while I’m cuffed.. seen lads getting legs slammed in car doors. Slammed into walls and the floor with the phrase (stop resisting) while twisting the cuffs and pushing your arms up your back making you shout in pain which gives them extra time to inflict pain and claim they were restraining you.. seen Lads in cells getting water thrown over them and left.. their pricks to all of us! And my dad was in the met but I lived in Essex and they have rivalry so I didn’t get any pass from the Essex pigs. The only people that don’t get harassed are the rich politicians and their rich friends who fuked up all our countries!
That may be so...but guaranteed you will be released alive a little bruised perhaps...As opposed to being dead or at that time pumped heavily with some form of drugs whilst in custody because they consider BLACKS as aggressive and not ASSERTIVE when they are pleading against "A CRIME THAT THEY MIGHT COMMIT " ..

Listening to the racists chanting "We're going to send the blacks back" while police officers stood there smiling was heartbreaking to watch. The sad thing is you'll never see this on mainstream TV now.
And why didn't these people return to their countries of origin or their parents' countries of origin? It seems that even with racism, life in the UK was better than in their countries. I think they should be grateful to the British who let them stay, the British could just deport them.

My 87 year-old and his wife, before they met each other, told gangs of 'teddy boys' walking in groups looking for any black people to attack in the 1950s. They even terrorised women and children. Another relative told of how she was picked on when she went shopping - a tiny, scrawny woman! Her tormentors were all hospitalised by the 'Jamaican menfolk', who were simply defending/protecting their wives, and word soon got round for the bullshit to stop. And it did.

Professor Gus John says that the 1978 film 'Blacks Britannica' is still relevant. He sees it as a film that stood up to racism on the streets of Britain. BLACKS BRITANNICA (1978) was re-screened by the British Film Institute (BFI) on 28 January 2017 as part of its African Odysseys season. The screening was followed by a lively Q&A with a panel that included chair of the Institute of Race Relations, Colin Prescod, women’s liberation officer at Westminster University, Ethel Tambudzai, & Saqib Deshmukh & Kunle Olulode, both of Voice4Change England. Directed & produced by the late David Koff & Musindo Mwinyipembe for Boston’s WGBH radio station as part of their weekly series, World, the 1-hour documentary tells the story of the African Diaspora in Britain through the narratives & struggles of the black community in Manchester, Bradford & London. It features political, cultural & scholar activists such as Jessica Huntley, Kath Locke, Colin Prescod, Darcus Howe, & John La Rose, & groups of militant young Africans in those 3 cities.

@@TheHardys01 You could say that here, but there have absolutely been attempts, revolutions states, communes all kinds of forces and historical experiments that existed in defiance to global Capitalism. Good and bad we must learn from history and work towards building it. It may not happen right away, it may take transition and time, It may take total global collapse economically and environmentally, it may need to happen globally or it could start in one state, defend itself and hold out until the rest follow.
I'm basically shortening theory above there's strategies still in development, theory on going, history we are living through. No doubt there will be more failed experiments and states, but we need to remember capitalism was not eternal. It was predated by feudalism and it was built on colonialism, slavery imperialism and the modern forms of imperialism and neo colonialism. It has an end, and only we can decide whether it is barbarism and extinction or something real that we build and fight for.

Windrush was the beginning of a monumental immigration balls up. Ordinary British people were not consulted because the educated ruling classes believed it was their gift to decide what was best for them. The 1948 immgration act that granted people from allover the commonwealth the right to simply arrive in the UK and as soon as their feet landed they were entitled to all the rights and priviliges of those whose ancestry was here. Legal status, healthcare, benefits everything. It was offered partly in gratitude for the contributions that some commonwealth countries made to the war effort and partly to rebuild Britain. It was a monumental misjudgement and the beginning of the end of the native Celtic/AngloSaxon nation.
Good
People were invited to come in the 40's and they were British citizens
Everyone hates multiculturalism. As native British we do not hate anyone . We merely wish to preserve our own way of life . We do not understand other cultures and we do not know why we have had them imposed on us and it is hard enough co existing with even our own people due to the rigid class system which in its own way is as cruel as any other type of discrimination.

Don't you find it strange that after the war we started up social programs and imported people from halfway around the world against the wishes of the population? Japan had a nuclear bomb dropped on it, it didn't need immigrants to help it rebuild. It's almost as if the Communists won.

@@johnclark7065 brainwashing.
@ Grief Tourist ...Your country historically, enslaved and colonized the countries where your immigrants are from for hundreds of years exploiting people by paying little or nothing for labour in those countries. 60 to 70 years ago, your country was short of labour after World War 2 . Your government invited or enticed its subjects from its colonies to do skilled labour jobs in your towns and cities because shortage of labour. These immigrants then have born children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in your country. Your country also kept many of the colonies in a bad economic state because your government took loans to pay the English planters who brought enslaved Africans to the Caribbean for the loss of their stock ( human beings) after slavery ended, but no payment to the freed Africans or their descendants up to this day. This now entice those citizens to go to your country for better economic opportunities. If you read extensively you would know... I hope you understand now.
Born in 75. Racism was the norm on the streets, in the schools, at the shops. Anywhere there were white people there was racism. It was horrible growing up in ‘hell’ as a child.
Was this London? No racism during the 70s or early 80s. Only the police seeking promotion. Blacks were used as scapegoats - especially with drugs - to justify their importance.
The most awesome girl! Thank you for the testimony, the prayer and the love! God Bless you and yours! x
My mom and father was in the UK in the mid fifties a taste of their racism. Nothing changes world wide. There will always be those who hate us because of their own self inflicted fears and their generational curse of cruelty to others who do not look like they do.
...There is no country on earth that isn't racist, xenophobic...if you as an outsider step into that land you will taste racism...no one hates you...this is what it is like, would be like for any outside people anywhere.
Chinese abroad look down on phillipinos or malays. English look down on irish, haussa look dowm yoruba. But the only people who internalized a colour race concept are the peoples of slave societies like United States or carrebean.

I believe Linton Kwesi Johnson's documentary, Dread Beat and Blood was also banned in the uk because he criticized the police as well as the british school system's racist attitude toward black youth.
This is true. Teeth-grittingly, rage-inducingly true. It made every listening of the album more important. Especially on a personal note, given a shared name with the righteous LKJ, whom i discovered early in my angry mixed race adolescence.

@@Isleofskye why you picking on the mixed-race youths, they are not killing each other through knife crime, you chatting rubbish, where are your facts, the problem with black youth today, a good percentage are coming from African backgrounds that have seen civil wars, ethnic genocide, poverty. Put this with thier experience of Britain today such as low incomes, social exclusion etc, their are 3to 5 generations of black British mainly from a carribean background that have assimilated into British society, a good amount of those are from a mixed-race background because of assimilation, so get your facts right before making stupid statements.
🥀Very interesting and important documentary. It always amuses me when there are racist English people saying they want foreigners out of their country. When you see a lot of white English people moving to the Caribbean, Thailand and other brown and black countries to live.🥀
So it amuses you to find English people going abroad does it? Well rest assured when they get there their first stop will not be the Welfare Office, they will be taking care of their own needs not looking for charity so they will be good for their adopted country. I hope that puts your mind at rest..
@@barreltapper You are out of context, and timeline on your statement! Possibly clueless on black social history for Britain too. The welfare you are referring to had nothing to do with first and second generation of Caribbeans that were INVITED to Britain. The documentary shows where they worked and lived, but you probably did not watch it. The group were met with hostility and deep seated hatred, hence countlessly rejected from job applications and rental property. Welfare would have been the last resort, as it was shameful to do so amongst the peers.
@@colint8259 So what were the "Windrush Generation" using to pay their rent in these places that refused to house them? The Welfare State was set up all across Europe after the war and it was a means of making it possible for all the immigrants who arrived to be given money. How do you think they survived if they were not already re-building Britain and all that guff with everybody against them. Show your evidence not just the sermon of a bunch of rappers..
@@barreltapper I used to work with the Black Cultural Archives (BCA), now in Windrush Square, Brixton. I suggest that you contact there and obtain 'evidence' of the 12-18 Caribbeans in shared houses doing work shift rotations, and sharing the beds that could fit in the property. I am very much clued-up on the state of post-war Britain, as my grandmother was a nurse at that time and described. They paid for the rent from WORKING sometimes three part-time jobs, and used the 'Pardoner Process' to support each other as loans. Those that did work covered for the unemployed as part of the Pardoner resource until employment was found. Read the welfare statistics for the time and the book called 'The West Indian comes to Britain' which was a UK charities research published in the late 1960s. The Pardoner system was our safety net until the early 80's, and is again created as a reaction to the vile nature and destructive practice of the white people who closed every door.

Our situation mirrors the melinated African American's situation. The difference is that melinated African Americans can change their situation due to their economic power. We stand no chance over here because we are too small in number, and we have not got the the economic power. Remember that many European nations are the mothers of racism, America learnt well. Nothing much has changed.
Black America is the first product of British slavery- this WAS BRITISH NORTH AMERICA. British Empire started in VIRGINIA, 1607, NOT 1620 with “Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock.” It started here in Virginia- in the SOUTH. #BritainandBlackAmerica #Virginia1607 #Virginia1619

@@fuckbankers BLM in Britain is quite radical, may they go very far
I'm here for learning purposes only.
Then this will teach you nothing but how hypocritical those complaining about racism really are. Its truly mind-bending
@gabriel gervais but you are not being honest at all. I will allow that you are ignorant and that excuses you from.being called dishonest but you betray that ignorance by claiming they were "invited".
Parliament doesn't have the power to "invite" anyone. I dont know how many times people like yourself have to be told that.
Post war immigration policy is illegal. Parliament much as it likes to entertain the delusion it is the country is merely the hired help.
Just like it had to be told (repeatedly) it did not have the authority to give the legitimate citizenry of this country away to a foriegn power (the EU as is) so it doesn't have the authority to dilute that citizenry's power by way of an invasion policy. The fact that it has got away with for 75 years is no more relevant than the fact it got away with its EU policy for nearly 50 years.
Now if you're saying there were instances of police brutality and that it was done by some white police officers because of their prejudice I cant deny that anymore than I can forget I personally witnessed and experienced rampant racism and brutality by black people on white from as far back as the late 1960's. Those views and that violence and who it was aimed at, given the ages of those blacks comitting those acts could only be explained by ingrained racist attitudes of adult black people being passed onto their children. We can all play that game to the cows come home.
The fact remains that if this country was in any shape or form racist in the way its portrayed, and you are helping portray it, we would not have the number of invaders of this country we do, many of them black.
I would have some sympathy for their position if they were here legally, that they had entered this country in a manner that was consistent with how they think white people should have entered countries they now approved being released from control of white people, but they didn't.They still dont. The hypocrisy they display is so cock-eyed it inky further demonstrates just how racist they are.
A real honest assessment of the situation is that they are here illegally, that whatever injustices they have suffered it is nowhere near the injustices the British people have had to suffer from tthem being here.
If your charge is simply racism regarding.the police, they are just as racist today, but against British people. I don't condone racism in anyone but if you were to ask me which example of it was truly beyond the pale it has to be the latter. Its so sick the institution of the police has to be dismantled and all those supporting immigration policy purged from.its ranks and any invaders within it deported and reconstituted from.scratch.
it might also be a good idea to remind the newly constituted organisation just exactly what the limits of Parliamentary authority is and that the defence of "I was only following orders" hasn't cut the mustard since 1945 (around about the same time this invasion began).
In short your "honest" assessment doesn't appear to mention any of that and because it doesn't its not of much value.
Now, Their judgment is at hand! All praises to the most high yah.

John 15:18-27
King James Version
18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
27 And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.

Britain is the mother of the United snakes of America.
No. The U.K. introduced the slavery abolition act 1833 1st Country to do so. The american/COLONISTS opposed this. Many historians state this is the reason for the war of Independence and america separating - independent. Slavery continued in the states officially,till 1856/70; proofs in the pudding.
Continuing with Jim Crow laws till 1965/68.A travesty. The States have another level of problems. Slavery has never existed in England and wales; colonies yes. Remember Africa and other continents still have slavery TODAY and have done for 1000's of years the Europeans exploited.
Look to the Cartwright case of 1559 and in particular the stewart Somerset case of 1772 in England, to see how blacks were treated in England. This has founded a different perception to the United States. Does this mean racism does not exist? No, its found everywhere.
your so wrong
@@Heaven-dy9lj the UK being the first to abolish the slave trade doesnt undo the centuries of pain the inflicted on this world wether its through the empire or that atlantic slave trade.
And just because slaves didnt actually touch british soil doesnt mean that they didnt have slaves, we had them in the colonies, we had them in britian. Africa and various other countries still have slavery and slavery still goes on here too, that doesnt provide any justification for our racial issues today.

@@zakrowe1301 No it doesn't. Slavery will exist. Tell me, where does the word Slave come from? Are the Slavic people in 'pain' and demonstrating?
I could give countless examples of slavery that has existed against whites, black asian. It has been since through the ages.Everyone has suffered. The city of Bath should be destroyed, being built on the back of indigenous British slaves
The States situation is totally incomparable to the U.K. Jim Crow segregation laws ending only in the late 60's slavery ending only 150 yrs ago.
It's a historical fact that slavery has never existed in the uk in the past 1000 yrs, serfdom, yes.
The fact is that people chose to ignore is that Black on Black Slavery was very much established in Africa for 1000's of years the European expolited it.
Every race has been exploited and used, suffering in pain. Civilisation is marked by the quality of moving on....progress. Anything but this is happening.
Look at Africa today. No progress. 10 million Africans killed by fellow black leaders in the past 50 years, 7 million in slavery TODAY! Who cares about their pain, and WHO IS INFLICTING that painTODAY??? The uk introduced the 1833 law, what has Africa done? Hypocrisy is rife.

Social attitudes in Britain have changed significantly since this documentary made. Yes, things are not perfect and racism has not been extinguished but explicit racist thinking and notions have been pushed to the far flung fringe. Even the most right wing, nationalistic political expressions, know that playing the race card and being anti people of colour isn't going to reap much support even amongst the most disaffected and disadvantaged sections of the white population and hide behind other causes. Incidentally, these other causes attract support from not a few in the BME community.

I think England is a lot better than it was. I grew up in the 80s in Essex and experienced a lot of racism being Asian. It is lot better now. I found Europe to be worse and obviously US is. But the subtle racism will always exist. Unfortunately that is going to be even more after the BLM protests die down, Black people will be even more discriminated.

B.B.J. Crazy how you didn’t mention Australia, Canada and New Zealand. 🤔 Maybe because they’re “white”? They fought Germany too you know and they can’t come to the UK willy nilly either. And we voted out of the EU if you haven’t realised So Germans won’t be able to come here willy nilly either. And just so you know. Australians, Canadians and New Zealander’s are even more deserving then Caribbean’s of living in the UK because they’re British. They came from the British Isles in the first place.
Britopia i don’t have to mention them but they can be included in my point which is countries that fought against Germany, still find it harder to get into the UK than Germans. Let’s not lie to ourselves Germans will still find it easier to get into the UK than the countries I mentioned even after brexit, ffs even the Japanese find it easier, you know exactly the point I’m making yet people like you try so hard not to see it. . And your idea about them being “more deserving” is subjective, race doesn’t determine nationality. A black Canadian who is ethnically Caribbean will find it just as easy as a white Canadian to enter the UK so that had no relevance to what you’re talking about.
B.B.J. They are more deserving. And it’s not about race. They are British. I’m not saying they’re more deserving because they’re white. Greeks are white. I’m saying it because they’re British. They are from the British Isles. We’re the same people. Of course I’m biased though. I have Australian family. But it’s not a one way street. It’s not that easy for Brits to go to CANZs countries or the Caribbean either. It’s easier for UK citizens to go to Germany whether we’re black or white. Because the UK had that set up with them via the EU.
Britopia This is exactly my point, an indigenous Australian (who is not even remotely British) is still given just as much access to the UK as an ethnically British Australian hence why I said your justification id invalid. And actually, it is easier for UK nationals to go to some countries while the UK don’t give them the same access back in general. Jamaica for example grants UK nationals visa free travel to to Jamaica but the same is not reciprocated, and it’s quite the trend across the Caribbean and the world in general. Lastly I wasn’t talking about how or why Germans came about to have easier travel to the UK, I’m solely talking about the fact that they do and Jamaicans for eg. Who were called upon to help build the UK back after Just fighting Germany as they were commonwealth citizens now find it harder to get to the UK than the Germans themselves.
Perhaps instead of coming to the Caribbean to convince people to come to England, it would have well served the country. For them to fix the destroyed infrastructure that their cousins the Germans did to them, as well as dig up for burial dead bodies from the bombs. Some Caribbeans did that you know all in the past now the fascist, racist tendencies are coming back looking forward to watching England read the riot act to a Russia that is their enemy not ours.
So many of our problems arise from corruption and lack of accountability in local government. Housing policy is often determined by what planners and builders want. Architects seek status within their professions; builders want money. The description of how the black community in Moss Side was broken up is very similar to the way that the white community in Deptford in SE London was broken up against their wishes.

The places designed for the people displaced included such places as the Broadwater Farm Estate in Tottenham and Southwyck House in Brixton built in the late 60s in the Brutalist style and immediately blighted with problems of crime due to the design of the buildings and the time needed to re-create a sense of community amongst disparate families.

That housing complex where there are only two entrances/exits is alarming. What if there is a fire? Would everybody be able to get out in time? The only saving grace is that it is of mostly concrete construction.
yep
The cops were always protecting the NF and BNP.
I wonder how the black people in British feel today 2020 peace to them. I know a lot about the history between the black people and the British it goes very very extremely deep everyone study your law's and Amendment which needs to CHANGE its been time for change.# ✌to all accept those who dont want it
June 2020 nothing has changed
Isn't that phrase like beating a dead horse?
We look at the world, and surmise that everyone else sees it as we do. But that is a fallacy.

This was incredible!! I learned so much about black history! Thank you!!

@@amonduul2154 You don't have Caribbean history in England. They just happened to be from the common wealth islands. They were persecuted for being Black, not Caribbean.
10.55 to 12.00 True talk I never got this talk which should've been taught late 1980s babies. It's sad.
Jamaicans and Afro Caribbean people haved evolved and some of us have gone or thinking of becoming a republic. Britian was never our motherland and you wont be able to tell us to fight for it again!!!!
Amen. Jamaica PM told Prince William that Jamaica will be going republic removing the Queen as head of state.
If Hitler had won the war, and defeated Britain, he would have controlled the whole British empire, and what do you think he would’ve done to Jamaica?
@ jacquilayton2557 He would of done nothing to Jamaica because it was too close to America. Britain never won ww2. We were on the winning side there’s a big difference. America and Russia won ww2.
An incredible historical document and when still extremely pertinent
Not much has changed whether we are in the UK or the USA. It is exhausting being black anywhere those people are.
@Banff 2020 where ever we go here they come.
@Banff 2020 I am ADOS
My father and grandfather fought here.
We have blood in the soil and bones in the ground. We have every right to speak bad about America, but you won't see us storming the capital like a bunch of privileged cry babies and sore loses.
Whites will never accept they hate blacks deep down and hide how they feel and sweep everything under the carpet .
@@jadasmith1977 the medieval germans highly esteemed the black moors. Even theit holy saint is a black moor. Lol
then leave. blacks have no business thinking access top whites is a human right. even if we have all the good shit.
So sad man
I remember a black guy on speakers corner saying breed breed .push the white man to the shore ..how to win friends and influence people !
I was told that by Adults in around 1969/70 that The Whites would "end up in the sea" and they are heading for the sea in multitudes. I'm 66 from near Brixton and Peckham when they were 98% White Middle-Class areas. Gradually area by area changed as Whites took " White Flight" to The Suburbs in The 1970's/1980's/1990's and those SAME people are now moving another stage out to THe Countryside and Coast...
30:50 is where they got the premise for Pre-Crime in the movie Minority Report, starring Tom Cruise
They do that now. I'm not joking, they have crime maps, so they use stats to see where crime is likely to happen, what type, what time, what place and it works. www.adt.co.uk/crime-in-my-area This is just a public version but you can access the police version.
06:00 - owned homes were demolished and the equity simply ignored ?? WTF ?
Same here wtf 😑
@@Tarteh The doco clearly states some of the houses were owner occupied
Yep - councils and the government still do it.
@@MsPeabody1231 Demolish homes owned by other people without compensation ?
okay im gonna go and listen to Handsworth Revolution by Steel Pulse after watching that...
44.44minutes the man is defending 2 guys who broke into a bank/financial co. and stole all the money. That speaks volumes.
Only to a degenerate racist and deceiver like yourself devil.
This has always been more a class issue t.he white working class where and are treated the same . ...if yout take away colour you still have class barrier which is still here too ! Black people are considered worrking class the uk is more class ridden ..they divded and ruled pit one poor group againts another to stop uou looking at them the rich and piowerful this were things get misunderstood it a capiltlism problem ..we were all out if work back then white working class and black people i
B.S!
Correct me if I am incorrect but "elites" didn't systematically petrol bomb the houses of Black and Asian families.
i would say yes ,by stirring race hatred between poor groups divide and rule ploitics
@ i would partially agree with him. Its the false consciousness engineered by the 'elite' which the poor white working class with great dogmatism absorbed into their being, that indirectly fuels the systematic violence on minorities. A similar contemporary example would be Brexit the narrative of taking 'our' country back, resulted in constituencies that receive millions a year from the EU voting to leave (like turkey's voting for Christmas).

26:53.... up till this point can’t disagree.. but guess what bud..
in whyte areas they do the same to us.. harassed us as kids then when I was older been twisted up, cops threatening me while I’m cuffed.. seen lads getting legs slammed in car doors. Slammed into walls and the floor with the phrase (stop resisting) while twisting the cuffs and pushing your arms up your back making you shout in pain which gives them extra time to inflict pain and claim they were restraining you.. seen Lads in cells getting water thrown over them and left..
their pricks to all of us!
And my dad was in the met but I lived in Essex and they have rivalry so I didn’t get any pass from the Essex pigs.
The only people that don’t get harassed are the rich politicians and their rich friends who fuked up all our countries!
Can't argue with this comment 👍
@GrethaThumberg you do not have a clue. Nothing that you have endured could be equalled to the black experience,.
That may be so...but guaranteed you will be released alive a little bruised perhaps...As opposed to being dead or at that time pumped heavily with some form of drugs whilst in custody because they consider BLACKS as aggressive and not ASSERTIVE when they are pleading against "A CRIME THAT THEY MIGHT COMMIT " .. BS
Unfortunately the outcome remains the same to this present day...
Just enjoy your privileges...even though they may not appear that way to you

The diffence is you don't get picked on for your colour, you can change your ways, we can't and don't wish to change our colour.
Listening to the racists chanting "We're going to send the blacks back" while police officers stood there smiling was heartbreaking to watch. The sad thing is you'll never see this on mainstream TV now.
And why didn't these people return to their countries of origin or their parents' countries of origin? It seems that even with racism, life in the UK was better than in their countries.
I think they should be grateful to the British who let them stay, the British could just deport them.
Oh shut up you devil @@ronaldocatarinense12
This programme is heartbreaking! It makes me feel ashamed to be white!
Don't be ashamed my dare,you wouldn't bare the sins of your people
To be british? The same was done on irish. And before on scotish. It has nothing to do with a fake concept like colour. Its all about tribes
Poor white and poor black throughout the last century have been used to prop up a system of inequality... so sad - it still works today -
As a black person I believe that no race should bare the sins of some stupid and ignorant ppl never be embarrassed of who u r
Thank god the reggae music came to drown out the racists .
