Britain is easily one of the least racist countries in the world. Can u guess which country’s routinely don’t permit different races to be in government or in police? Can u guess which countries will put up prices in shops as they see ur skin colour? can u guess which countries routinely road block u and ask for a toll just because they see the colour of the drivers skin? …. So please don’t go around calling Britain a racist country when it’s easily the lowest on the list. And you will no doubt pretend the above examples of racism is just fine when it’s absolutely not. Racism is weaponised in Britain and in certain countries it’s a daily practice that’s expected

All these are in the British military, they are supposed to be trained in the use of military weapons, unless they are orderly, working on medical or food distribution, if she was train with military weapons, how can any carry out racial discrimination against you, with weapons in your hand. Strange,
@@thecaptain4184Are the weapons meant to be turned against your colleagues or used against the enemies of Britain? If you are bullied the normal thing is to report to higher authority and if they do nothing ,as in her case, you quit.
Unfortunately, it is not only in the army, I bet even in the GOOD Morning Britain studio racism is their... only few (1%) white people have a slight idea of being treated like you are not human...
This is the key reason people of colour declined to join the armed forces in the UK. It is not an isolated case. A common issue that refuses to be eradicated within such institution.
What i find disturbing is how members within the army were able to focus on discriminating against someone instead of simply training our arm forces to be the best thay can be.
Of course they have and they don’t care, the military claim they see the need reform it’s sickening. I would go out of my way to discourage any black or Asian person from joining the military.

I’m sending you much healing sister, because I know (first hand) the toll that it takes. I lived in England for three years in the early 2000s, left there a lot of money in student loans, which I will regret for life. Those were the absolute worst days of my life, it’s an incredibly toxic, Godless place, shockingly so really. I really regret not having left immediately after I was done with my Master’s, and I don’t intend on ever even setting foot in the place again. I feel for the British minorities. You are not wanted, you are tolerated at best, and I am glad that you are finally starting to get a voice and calling it out. Do not put up with it any longer, do call them out! Their time is up.
I’m just glad she got out alive. This is our everyday experience with white British people. Even in the legal profession! It is despicable and beyond unacceptable.
It’s so normalized. You don’t like racist abuse? You’re being unreasonable and making a scene. Minority groups say it’s this way, all their propaganda says it’s the exact opposite. I stopped believing the attackers’ words 😂
This is exactly why family always told me and my kin, don’t serve in the military, “we aren’t welcome”. It’s sad to see this woman, who they obviously exploited to gain minority applicants, was treated so poorly for trying to serve our country. This only encourages the narrative that if you’re part of the ethnic minority, you aren’t welcome to serve your country. Same as why I would offend some if I said I’m English… it’s only melanin! It’s about time those xenophobic people accepted that we belong here too.
The military in general seems anti people who aren't purely ethnically English. I looked into joining the RAF as an officer when I finished my degree, but was told that I was not eligible for the role (as well as the back-up role I was interested in) just because I had also held another nationality. I am born in England and have always had British citizenship. Post-brexit, I claimed dual nationality through my mother to get an EU passport and be able to travel more freely. Despite still maintaining British citizenship, I didn't have the ability to apply for the job just for being associated with another country. I guess I dodged a bullet seeing how this poor woman was treated by the army.
I remember telling my mum when I was a young girl I wanted to be a police officer and she told me not to. I was 8 years old when she told me that, years later now as a black British woman I now understand. Sadly they will never take accountability because they honestly believe they've done nothing wrong. Also "person of colour" Rob? How rude and racist, I am not a colour and to address me as such is saying that I was meant to be white but ended having brown skin.
Are you referring to him speaking for his family? I think he is mature & informed enough to not apply generalisations to any race, tribe, wherever. Not all French are Lovers and goumets'... Not all Welsh can sing. Etc.
Theres racism inthe NHS too we all know this i was told to go back and nurse my mother even though i have been in the UK since the 60 tis so what more i had a lot of racial abuse but i just got on with the job disgusting people
Much respect for her, and some measure of respect for the British military for being one of the only armed forces on Earth to have just enough transparency and oversight to allow the wheels of justice to turn..
It’s hard being a black woman these days. We are always being picked on in all aspects of life. We can’t even get the best care even when we are giving birth.

Shaggy the musician served in the US army and fought in the first golf war. He said he experienced racism from fellow soldiers even while in the trenches of war.
I'm so sorry this happened to her 😢, There is so much abuse at women in the British military anyway let alone the racism she faced when serving for her country 😞. Good on her for trying to make change.
I will never understand immigrant families joining the British Army…that’s insane, giving the history of the country. Also, if you do no see anyone else that looks like you there … do not join, do not stay. Very weird that she chose to stay there for years, often the case with people that have low self-esteem. No way you can have pride in your work when they hate you as a woman, and as a non-british native.
Why should we be limited as black people to do what we wish to do?she had every right to join the army if she wanted to. Let's stop blaming victims for trying to live their best lives and focus on exposing bigots and bullies in society.
@@nairobichik It’s more about discernment. She is absolutely not to blame, however, a therapist would ask why she stayed to endure the abuse for 12 years. Self-preservation and love is a vital part of growth

I serve 22 years in the Army and throughout my career l also experience some elements of racism but in general l believe the Army is not racist. It goes down to individuals and their perspective in life. In my opinion you can't get rid of racist when it comes to multi culturism. Racism is a cultural issue.
Racism/tribalism is a worldwide phenomenon which has transcended all human generations. Biblically, Moses' relatives chided him for marrying an Ethiopian (Black) woman. Unfortunately, it will not go away. I pray for strength for the victims of racism/tribalism worldwide.
Moses wife was not part of the covenant this is why and , Moses’s sister was turned “ white “ with leprosy, until he ( Moses ), pleaded with God to spare her life.
And remember God struck Moses’ sister with leprosy for that to the point where Moses begged God to spare her life and that’s what God thinks of racism 🤷🏿♂️
Bless her heart, she endured a lot. But to combat that kind of behaviour you need to “aggy”, dominant and alpha to survive. You have to show them what you are about, basically. Not soft.
She look uncomfortable the host probably don't believe it she was quick to cut judge Rinder off when he was talking more on the subject she look so so uncomfortable when racism was discuss
Black British veterans that I used to date are all fu€ked up in the head after the army. I heard stories that made me cry 😢 they do tricks to try and get released from contract as it can be a death sentence in war .
That is the error of these British Institutions, instead of maintaining ethos and Professional practice , they do the opposite way, shame on them, it's a pity , the problem start from the top, if these issues were taken seriously, this showed a broken society. People preach by mouth to love one another but the reality deep in the heart is different, why
There's hope that things would get better with time. She said that there are lots of good people in the army who stood with her. I hope that her challenges would help now and the generation to come. Racism is real.
Rich coming you, when your ancestors benefitted on every level, at the expense and lives of indigenous people.slavery and thieving made these countries so humongously rich.

Removals, waste delivery, I also work for apps (shift providers)
No not at all.
I’m just glad she got out alive. This is our everyday experience with white British people. Even in the legal profession! It is despicable and beyond unacceptable.
It’s so normalized. You don’t like racist abuse? You’re being unreasonable and making a scene.
Minority groups say it’s this way, all their propaganda says it’s the exact opposite. I stopped believing the attackers’ words 😂
Legal profession and finance terrible. Stalled my aspirations completely
You're more than welcome to leave, we never asked for you.
This is exactly why family always told me and my kin, don’t serve in the military, “we aren’t welcome”. It’s sad to see this woman, who they obviously exploited to gain minority applicants, was treated so poorly for trying to serve our country.
This only encourages the narrative that if you’re part of the ethnic minority, you aren’t welcome to serve your country.
Same as why I would offend some if I said I’m English… it’s only melanin! It’s about time those xenophobic people accepted that we belong here too.
Stay strong Kerry ✊🏽
The military in general seems anti people who aren't purely ethnically English. I looked into joining the RAF as an officer when I finished my degree, but was told that I was not eligible for the role (as well as the back-up role I was interested in) just because I had also held another nationality. I am born in England and have always had British citizenship. Post-brexit, I claimed dual nationality through my mother to get an EU passport and be able to travel more freely. Despite still maintaining British citizenship, I didn't have the ability to apply for the job just for being associated with another country. I guess I dodged a bullet seeing how this poor woman was treated by the army.
I remember telling my mum when I was a young girl I wanted to be a police officer and she told me not to. I was 8 years old when she told me that, years later now as a black British woman I now understand. Sadly they will never take accountability because they honestly believe they've done nothing wrong. Also "person of colour" Rob? How rude and racist, I am not a colour and to address me as such is saying that I was meant to be white but ended having brown skin.
this happens to us every day at work -on the street in a restaurant in the England .
😒it's not right
Unless you work in the Armed Forces, I don’t believe you.
What a disgrace 😢
We are very much not a racist country according to Prince William
🤭🤣🤣🤣
Are you referring to him speaking for his family?
I think he is mature & informed enough to not apply generalisations to any race, tribe, wherever.
Not all French are Lovers and goumets'... Not all Welsh can sing. Etc.
Yes that's the truth, majority are not. Don't let the minority define a society. I was in the army as well and I know what I'm talking about.
@@ogazi01What if it’s the minority that has the power?
@@Sensiking19
That's the question
Harry and Meghan had to run away and quickly
A country so xenophobic shouldn't be telling other countries about how to take care of different religions and ethnicities
Well said brother
You should have alot more likes with that comment 👏🏾👏🏾
It's the former British Empire what do you think
Theres racism inthe NHS too we all know this i was told to go back and nurse my mother even though i have been in the UK since the 60 tis so what more i had a lot of racial abuse but i just got on with the job disgusting people
Much respect for her, and some measure of respect for the British military for being one of the only armed forces on Earth to have just enough transparency and oversight to allow the wheels of justice to turn..
Don’t t joint the army , don’t be apart of the that system
Not only the army will never change its people's choose not to change especially in uk amd USA 😢
It’s hard being a black woman these days. We are always being picked on in all aspects of life. We can’t even get the best care even when we are giving birth.
I don't understand...why fight and risk your life for a country that was actively involved in forcing our people into slavery?
And server poverty, to the extent that may colonized country are still suffering from those effects today.
I thank God that i live here in Africa, in Lesotho to be precise, and this is where i call home. Its on rare occasions we see a white person here.
To my all my blackes brothers and sisters this hates from others race for no reasons will never change and dont expect it to change no matters how they smile at you so be more strong and go for more education .they will keep their eyes close for ever but it changing soon not too far .
No one held accountable so why will it stop?
So sad for Kerry-Ann.😢
Love Judge Rinder!😊
A normal day in Britain
Racism is well protected and thought, hence we must learn to get stronger. Even male soldiers felt same.
Shame on British army! And it institutional Racism
Thank God you are alive
Can you imagine being in a mission with such group, they can even cause your death, inwardly they don't consider you as of them .pllease leave this job
i served in northern Ireland in 70s with lad from Mauritius his nick name was midnight he was a really good bloke with a sense of humour and we trusted him with our lives as did he with us he was the only black soldier in the unit
My surprise is that she is surprised. How can she be expected to be one of them when she is of african / caribeean heritage. Look in the mirror. She doesn't look like them and they dint look like her . They might like you or even love you but you'll never be one of them unless you are of european heritage.
So just because someone has a different skin colour they should be discriminated against? Nice 🙄
how are people disputing the fact that there is evidence of recordings; why is this hard to understand
Because they don't care what happens to us
Because they in denial
😂 because those people wud do and have done the same towards ethnic minorities in their life
Because THERE’s NO BLACK IN THE UNION JACK 🇬🇧 . You are a guest in this country no matter what you do Racism isn’t going away it’s actually getting worse .
Shaggy the musician served in the US army and fought in the first golf war. He said he experienced racism from fellow soldiers even while in the trenches of war.
Yeah he was in the Navy. I saw a US TV show where the Navy were training to recruit ethnic minorities and were using Shaggy as an example.
No amount of money would make me serve a country that treats me as a second class citizen.
This country was exposed. Other countries are surprised
Yeah because the Great British image has now been tarnished on the world stage ; to not so great after all
She was very naive. Everyone knows these people are bullies. There is nothing surprising about what she experienced.
I'm so sorry this happened to her 😢,
There is so much abuse at women in the British military anyway let alone the racism she faced when serving for her country 😞.
Good on her for trying to make change.
The Army length of service is a min of 4 years and she did 12 years, so it was so bad that she extended and was promoted as well
I will never understand immigrant families joining the British Army…that’s insane, giving the history of the country. Also, if you do no see anyone else that looks like you there … do not join, do not stay. Very weird that she chose to stay there for years, often the case with people that have low self-esteem.
No way you can have pride in your work when they hate you as a woman, and as a non-british native.
Why should we be limited as black people to do what we wish to do?she had every right to join the army if she wanted to. Let's stop blaming victims for trying to live their best lives and focus on exposing bigots and bullies in society.
@@nairobichik It’s more about discernment. She is absolutely not to blame, however, a therapist would ask why she stayed to endure the abuse for 12 years. Self-preservation and love is a vital part of growth
she thinks shes telling the world something new. All black people already knew this, for some reason she thought it would be different for her. Oh well.
Cant wait to see all the excuses brits make to excuse/explain this away. I will say you all are more creative at your excuses than my fellow Americans. So far ive seen “a red head would be treated worse”, and my fav so far was “Britain is a ⚪️ country so it’s acceptable.” Man i cant wait to hear the rest. You guys are…i dont even know. A special group shall we say 😊
This 👆🏾 👏🏾👏🏾
Agreed. It is no place for a woman. And they will do anything to discredit someone who complains.
If your surprised by this...then you need to stop lying too yourself......
wdym?
I think sister is implying that racism both in England, especially the Armed Forces is RIFE @@SaffronMandizvidza
The Gaslighting is truly vile....I would only lay my life down for my Mother & Fathers country

@@AlkAliveLBEngland is not racist probably the most tolerant country on the planet so please stop spewing your BS.
If England is so racist why are people risking their lives trying to get into our country smh
In UK racist is common in London I remembering Stephen Laurance up now no justice 👎👎👎👎I am from Djibouti live in Barnet I have experience sorry about what happened with the girl in army 🌸
It's the worst thing to be forced to be silent while being discriminated against because you can't leave work or you get sanctioned.
She's such a nice girl I feel really bad for her you would think some of the higher ups would have stuck up for her 😢
Not a suprise .
There should be a Judicial Review department to make such accountable for their actions towards Blacks. It's endemic everywhere and not just the Army.
Where's the right in this World? We don't see
Army can never change to tackle racism.
I will never serve colonizer
I serve 22 years in the Army and throughout my career l also experience some elements of racism but in general l believe the Army is not racist. It goes down to individuals and their perspective in life.
In my opinion you can't get rid of racist when it comes to multi culturism. Racism is a cultural issue.
The Army is not racist? Them not apologising says it all.
Racism/tribalism is a worldwide phenomenon which has transcended all human generations. Biblically, Moses' relatives chided him for marrying an Ethiopian (Black) woman. Unfortunately, it will not go away. I pray for strength for the victims of racism/tribalism worldwide.
But moses was black though. In the case of moses it was more of a cultural thing than colour.
@@tgirl4me1 hmmmmm, I beg to disagree.
Moses wife was not part of the covenant this is why and , Moses’s sister was turned “ white “ with leprosy, until he ( Moses ), pleaded with God to spare her life.
And remember God struck Moses’ sister with leprosy for that to the point where Moses begged God to spare her life and that’s what God thinks of racism 🤷🏿♂️
Bless her heart, she endured a lot. But to combat that kind of behaviour you need to “aggy”, dominant and alpha to survive. You have to show them what you are about, basically. Not soft.
How shameful
I’m not surprised at all to hear this. Go on for her speaking out
Meghan and Kerry Ann God will keep u safe and lead u 💗🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
the host lady don't care either they are so condescending
She look uncomfortable the host probably don't believe it she was quick to cut judge Rinder off when he was talking more on the subject she look so so uncomfortable when racism was discuss
made out she was agreesive . say no more
What about black British men?
Black British veterans that I used to date are all fu€ked up in the head after the army. I heard stories that made me cry 😢 they do tricks to try and get released from contract as it can be a death sentence in war .
@@British_CocoaIt must be brutal for them during wartime.
People acting like this only happens in the US. Glad this stuff is being exposed.
Always in these cases of racism the victim is asked to explain the actions of the perpetrator.
That is the error of these British Institutions, instead of maintaining ethos and Professional practice , they do the opposite way, shame on them, it's a pity , the problem start from the top, if these issues were taken seriously, this showed a broken society. People preach by mouth to love one another but the reality deep in the heart is different, why
It's in bedded in these institutions, why would you expect it to change?
Staying in any situation you don't like for 12 years is a choice that doesn't excuse their behaviour towards her she served revenge cold as ice
@@Xataruk Unlike me a u we never served our country
I believe she had belief....that things could change
Agreed, staying in an abusive situation when there is no emotional ties is a bit mad
You must have forgotten she’s under a contract. To desert is an offence and had she done so they would have most definitely prosecuted her!
@@kymberlycourageFact 🎉
Kerry I’m so proud of you, good on you girl you did it 😇
But racism is there and it is a reality. But what can we do?!!!
This is why i was hesitant to serve.
There's hope that things would get better with time. She said that there are lots of good people in the army who stood with her. I hope that her challenges would help now and the generation to come.
Racism is real.
These people always complain but they are everywhere.
Rich coming you, when your ancestors benefitted on every level, at the expense and lives of indigenous people.slavery and thieving made these countries so humongously rich. Black people are rich with God's blessing and love, no matter how blacks are treated God gives them courage to preserve. This world is not our home, we are just passing through.
Britain is already falling down, I wouldn't recommended anyone to go live there 😂
