This was brilliant! As a mixed raced man who grew up in the 80s I could relate. Him not having a strong family unit and being a minority didn't help. But having a strong mindset, a goal and good woman by his side, he's got it all to fight for. Good luck 👍🏾 And fairplay to the boxing coach guiding the youngsters.

I grew up in the 1980's half caste guy in MCR had no issues. Amongst blacks whites, Asians the only guy I ever met who had a chip on his shoulder was a guy who was brought up in a "Middle class area" and when I say issues. I mean the one weighing him down on his shoulder. He's now indoctrinating his "Almost white" middle class kids with all this BLM nonsense!!! With his posh lefty wife!

[@yasminxc1995]

I feel sorry for this guy....this case is common when mixed race children are raised and bought up in white areas of England. Probably haven't been exposed to his black side...doesn't know the culture. Probably doesn't have black or Asian friends. He doesn't feel like he belongs anywhere. His white in brown skin technically and it's sad. He needs to move to a area of England where it's more ethically diverse. Let's be honest England is racist. But if you live in cities like London, Birmingham and Manchester you won't be exposed too much of the racist bullshit. You need to move to areas where you be more accepted as a person of colour that's the truth. I wish him and his partner all the best.

According to some commentators on the previous episode, 50% of Joshua's DNA makeup is somehow responsible for all the white poverty in this almost completely white area

[@Hello-mh4pj]

We’re doing this young man a major disservice if we allow him to think his race is the whole reason he is unlucky in life. It appears he’s had a tough childhood which happens to many regardless of ethnicity. He hasn’t had consistent positive parenting. He’s in “attack” mode. Showing any vulnerability (not weakness) or kindness, connection would be perceived as weakness by him and may have led to bad experiences when he was younger. His ethnicity is never going to change. Skill sets and expectations can though. Best of luck to him

[@jaylee9931]

@@theduke6174 don't get me wrong i know better than to say every member of a race thinks the same, but from my personal experience of being mixed white british and black jamaican - family, friends and just socially in general, i have felt a division or say seperation ( on both sides ) due to what could only be my skin colour and heritage.. the OP i replied to from @dior pretty much reinforces that. To summarise what i believe the root of it to be, is, that having lighter skin, to be a shade closer to white is somehow percieved to be an accomplishment, as if the notion of white supremacy is true, and being white affords one more opportunities or freedoms/ or less prejudice. Obv i know thats an ignorant thought or belief, but do believe some black ppl hold it and see me as having an unfair advantage over them - as if i were white. It's ironic that both cultures i was born of believe this about the other part of me, and so as i said originally in response to @dior, being mixed comes with all of the same struggles, without the solace of unquestioned unity from either lineage.

It's funny how one of my comments has been deleted because certain people cant handle the truth....I think some people are missing the point. One of the reasons why this poor guy is angry because his mum was a drug addict and seen her get beaten up...then tragically she died.....he was subjected to racial abuse from a young age from children his own age...he was bought up in a predominantly white racist area and has not had the opportunity to be exposed to other cultures even though his of mixed heritage. Who wouldn't be angry and confused?! People who say multiculturalism doesn't work is ignorant, uneducated and is not willing to have the opportunities to mix with other races and learn about other cultures. But I bet they would have a curry on a Friday night. I have been fortunate to have friends from all walks of life...races and cultures. Some white people don't even know why their racist sometimes they just go with the flow...it's fucked up. 😂

[@ceerd2094]

Very well said

[@karlijnhtc]

Victim mentality... I was abused but didn't turn out to be a criminal. He made poor life choices and that has nothing to do with his race and his past isn't an excuse. Just not that smart or lack of capacity. For the multiculturalism disaster you only have to look around in the cities and look at the crime, violence, rape rates, look in the prisons... predominantly people of color. That's not racist but the truth. what has food to do with real culture, morals and values? Such a stupid argument. Why have asians no problems integrating and benefiting society? Because they have a compatible culture and are intelligent.

[@yasminxc1995]

@@karlijnhtcYou don't appreciate any other culture unless it's white culture so why consume a food which has been cooked by a violent and rapist ethnic minority. Ethnic minorities make up a small percentage in the UK...so how can the UK prisons be predominantly people of colour. Ethnic minorities are unintelligent so why are the majority of healthcare professionals people of colour. You be sick but would rather wait and be seen by a white doctor than a South Asian or Black doctor. Racist trolls do not make any sense!!!😂😂😩

Don't get mad at my below comments, I'm just giving you my own experience as a mixed race 32 year old male (white mother, black father). You will do significantly better in life (career wise) if you generally behave in a manner that is familiar to MIDDLE CLASS white people. If you want a well paid job in the UK, you are almost guaranteed to have to go via some kind of white middle manager type, who holds the key to your potential employment. Understand that the black culture you were raised with will have given you mannerisms that may seem strange to middle class white people. You also really need to listen to the manner in which you speak. For example, the way that young black people in London talk, their pronunciation of words and the phrases they use like "U GET ME FAM"... Understand that the accent sounds HORRIFYING to middle class white people, and they likely associate it with knife crime, which means you won't be offered the job...There is a famous saying which goes "When in Rome, Do as the Romans do". And I see a lot of black/mixed race people who forget that they are in Rome.

We had terrible problems when we moved to a village in Wiltshire when i was 8 in 1958 and we are white english. So much prejudice until a teacher at the local primary school wrote a letter to the local newspaper. We were originally from London and regarded as foreigners because we didnt come from Wiltshre. One of our cousins who lived in London got called a dirty jew frequently and you wouldnt know he was jewish to look at, it was because he wore a kippah sometimes. So its not all about colour.

[@dunyasimoes3807]

I think it's quite ignorant that you wrote 'it's not all about colour', almost dismissing how much a person's skin colour/ethnicity can make them a target and at risk. Yes unfortunately, xenophobes can and do discriminate against anything remotely different but you can't deny the significance of skin colour/ethnicity is a very significant factor. Even though you had problems in the village, its undeniable that you had a privilege because you were White British... just imagine if you were BAME

Then when he was home if he was someplace and an Asian person came there he would tell them to leave him alone and go away.

Totally feel you brother..most people chose not to understand us.. The truth is it's OK to be anybody, white,Biracial,black and Latino whatever. The may point is always being responsible with our choices and to be sincere with our intentions.. I'd admit many dark-skinned black fathers don't really care for their biracial sons or have really bad relationships with them..The truth is they often secretly(with mental dishonesty or morally ambiguity) want their biracial sons to compensation for their fathers who rejected their black woman first.. That's why black fathers develop grudges with their biracial sons when they're with a white woman themselves,totally it's hypocritical!! I'll admit as a biracial male I am more attracted to white women and I know my father hates me for it..There's indeed a lot of contradictions in interracial relationships and strangely many white women who prefer dark-skinned black not only reject white men but also belittle biracial men,it totally weird!! As far as this notion of having the best of 2 worlds because is your mixed is a lie or an illusion for most of us biracial guys,this "one-drop rule" contradicts that... Mmm..yes it might be true that most black fathers don't really care about their mixed kids as much,especially biracial sons..Infact I think most black people are not genuine about social harmony,it feels the only thing they want is just a lighter-skinned opposite sex partner... You might have a point,never saw it like that growing but my experiences as a biracial person as led me to this conclusion.. My point is if dark-skinned black fathers don't want their sons to be with white women,then they themselves should stay with dark-skinned black women otherwise it doesn't make any sense this contradiction on their part.. And those white women who only date dark-skinned black men are indeed fools in rejecting not only white men but even biracial men!!!

[@judgefish4044]

I'm mixed race and I grew up in Birmingham and still live here. I never really experienced any racism and I was friends from people of all different races. There wasn't that much racism but when there was it was from people of all ethnicity. I can't talk for everybody but from my experience many people of all races experience racism. Racism was usually due to people just disliking each other. There was no blatantly racist person who hated everyone of a particular colour that I knew of. I just stayed out of trouble and if anyone tried to start anything with me I would ignore them. I never had to fight anybody. This video does come across as its not my fault that I did bad things it's my skin colours fault. 2 years sounds a bit much but it isn't elaborated or given any context so I assume it was a fair sentence. Sometimes I get tired of people saying how tough their life is and it's their skin colours fault. I'll admit I have had it easy but I think this constant I'm this colour and this is why I am a victim because of it. Its like these people try to go through their entire lives and pick out every bit to add to a sob story. I'm not denying that racism doesn't exist. However, every race experiences racism and every race has been slaves. These videos just divide us even more.

Idk why people are saying it's harder if your black or Asian or this or that surely it's hard for any type of minority's grouo

[@nikitamontanna5546]

It IS harder I'm general but there are different tiers of struggle. I think people just directly speak about the struggle because it's so prevalent

[@msummers1129]

It's called a joke bro come down

[@rickyhyde9562]

No it's harder for black people more than any other race

[@rickyhyde9562]

Karen Diaz it is harder for black people than any other race if I walked in a shop with a black Asian or white east European the black person would be followed so stop the shit about other minority's as long as their skin is white they are okay

Why does he feel so upset about two ancient figures of black men on a church clock. It's him that calls them golliwog's, but I doubt that many other people think of them as golliwog's.

[@thomasgrey6309]

I dunno man.. sounds to me that he did exactly what he had to do in order to sidestep being a victim. He has no business being a victim and has no business allowing someone to make him one... Then theres the police and courts... A reminder that the system is fixed. In school.. if some dipshit sets their sights to bully you, if you allow it that is what you will have to deal with every day going forward... Ive told my own sons.. If someone starts its... end them. They'll stop! They did!!

Obviously his life would be easier if he grew up in a more ethically diverse city like London or Birmingham. He likely wasn’t raised around many black or Asian people so he hasn’t got anyone to share his experiences with
