Dizzee Rascal: Racism is More Blatant in America Than in England

[@dgenerate707]

This dude gets mad respect, Vlad so used to talking to trap rappers and Radio rappers with no knowledge this cat caught him off guard. "He working for the Fed" "I don't know what that means" case closed.

He know he's just playing stupid

[@erykahj.o.p1508]

+deva tvtube Vlad is definitely playing dumb....

[@thephilosopher7173]

+Erykah J.O.P Agreed, but that's a problem. The fact he also thought to associate "Federal Reserve" with "illuminati conspiracy" is quite scary.....That means he's unaware of the History of Banking, which is probably THE most important lesson of history that should be taught in schools.

[@grimeyeyes5164]

+Orion3k well tell me the history of banking or where i can find out

[@maxgregor3201]

Thing about the UK is we are a much older country than the US so we've got way more experience as a society with segregation and discrimination. we did it to the Scottish,the Irish, the Catholics,women and the poor. Our country is over 1000 years old that's why we are so subtle about it its been a problem for us for literary hundreds over years we've learned how to sweep it under the carpet.

[@ac_xcvii1869]

Yeah I have a friend who has family in Atlanta and he said it's rare to see a white person, whereas here in Birmingham being friends with Black/white/asian is normal everywhere else makes it weird

[@c3realK1ll4h]

[@FurlogTheGiant]

wait till the diversity grows

[@davewalker9899]

InstrumentalsBeats we started and finished slavery before America, we are simply a few years ahead of America in terms of prejudice and racism. Also strange these two don’t know this but Britain was the largest slave trade at the time and we had tonnes of slaves in Britain and in overseas territories. America were late to start and finish so haven’t advanced past it enough yet.

i live in england and iv never seen a bunch of people going down the street shouting black lives matter iv seen black people and they have great jobs some have really nice houses compaired to mine well i guess any house would look good comapired to mine but there is barly any racism in england of course there a little amout of kids asking why she black well because what do you exspect black children do the same if they live with an all black familys and have never seen a black person before my mum and dad exsplaind it to me and im have no hate against them im not trying to be colour blind i just dont care about race

[@NoycieBrv]

Dizzee Rascal so level headed and real.

[@MikeyBrown99]

Vlad shows what the typical American is like when it comes to politics and other world matters. They are seriously misinformed by mainstream media or just don't care to do a little research. Dizzee didn't even come with any serious comment about the FED and Vlad went totally dumb like he was caught off guard. When outsiders know more about your country and politics than you then you know you have problems. Also, I like exchanges like this where the interviewer asks questions and the interviewee responds and then asks a question of his or her own to the interviewer. You would think the interviewer would be well informed and ready to answer some questions with facts rather than to be somewhat dumb on the questions that they are asking. *SMH*

[@LMICUK]

true

[@thephilosopher7173]

+Xion Brown You're right...the fact that the person being interviewed can kind of flip it (albeit temporarily) is more interesting. However, in America it seems that the most popular media platforms prefer to ask the dumb down questions to sway the audience perspective at times. Vlad isn't necessarily like that, but this interview shows that he's not one to come with intelligence, that's for sure..

[@davidmichael6694]

+Orion3k he was playing dumb with the feds. However,it was shocking when he asked if there was slavery in the UK.

[@m.a6141]

+Xion Brown VLAD IS SCARED

[@davidmichael6694]

I'm not going to lie though I'm from the UK so when he said feds at first I thought he was talking about the police, then I quickly realised.

[@rahulkemp8347]

[@PixelPerfect28]

Better question, why is racism always talked about in terms of white on black racism. This is me being totally honest. I'm a 33 white man from London and the only racism i have ever experienced is from black people. In my experience black people are the most racist people i have ever met. Even my black friends constantly talk about race, it's just an on-going subject. Just last month i was sat on the bus coming home from work and i was listening to music sat by the window and had my bag on the seat beside me. A black woman wanted to sit down but i didn't realize coz i had my music on loud and i was looking out of the window, she nudged me so i took me ear phones out, moved my bad and apologized in a polite manner, and she made that tutting sound black people make when they're annoyed and said "you home growns think you run the show". I dont know why but i think a lot of black people are super paranoid. Like if you wrong a black person, it'always because they're black, not simply because they're a human being that's pissing you off lol...like i said, race seems to be on their minds 24/7. Personally i blame the entertainment industry and the media. Everyone's grown up being told black people are hard done by and hearing this over the years makes white people feel ashamed and black people feel paranoid, it's no good for both parties

[@TheMitch12356]

I am black and I 100% agree with you. I think about race on a daily basis and very paranoid when out in public.

[@PixelPerfect28]

Yeah?..but what exactly are you paranoid about?, do you think white people are judging you?.

[@calaragazza3556]

Black ppl probably talk about race a lot because their race is constantly pointed out and used against them in a negative way. It gets exhausting. Your annoyance is their daily struggle. You may not be racist but most white ppl are.

[@irritablysavvy]

Dizzee is spot on. We spend so much time working on foreign country aid when we need to be aiding the poverty in our own nation. People forget about it because it's so much easier to look outside of ourselves than to focus on the problems here in the U.S.

[@juststuff5216]

How can it be foreign aid, when you're giving with one hand, and taking 100 times over, with the other hand, from the people you're professing to help! American elites are not philanthropists by any stretch!!!

[@bassekaman8315]

Rubbish. Akalas a household name

[@LuxioV2]

No offence intended to the Americans but I think they are still very much at a stage whereby the average national level of intellect towards things like racism is a lot lower than the UK. In the UK classism is a more effective way of dividing people to serve different purposes because we are more conscious of racism and less, idk if accepting is the right word but whatever, less accepting of racism itself.

[@Temujin18S]

Exactly

[@in-skeptagadget3705]

Yeah... Vladtv is ignorant as fuck... And Dizzee doesn't have the intelligence to explain anything.

[@DesertEagle101]

+In-Skepta Gadget that was gonna be my point. Dizzee like half onto a point but can't explain himself properly, then the message gets lost because its like a half ass argument

[@ac_xcvii1869]

I'm from Birmingham and racism is never seen for me, for me being friends with Black/white/asian is normal everywhere else makes it weird it annoys me. Yeah it's the posh people we don't mix with vice versa

[@loveislove8741]

Being born and raised in England I had a few run ins with the police when I was younger but I never felt like they were going to harm me, let alone kill me. In America it actually seems like the police are out for blood, like they get paid extra to shoot someone. It's disturbing to watch. Also in England it's not as segregated so if you live in a tough/poorer area it won't just be one race living there, it'll be whites, blacks, asians, and whatever else...We pretty much grew up wth each other from a young age. I wouldn't say everything is perfect here but as a Black man I'd choose England before America, everytime.

[@emekaiheanacho6971]

Nona Yabuisness absolutely

[@c3realK1ll4h]

Nona Yabuisness I had choose America, because Whites in England hate us pakistanis so badly

I lived in the UK for 4 years as a student, and I would say that the UK is much more class based 'racism'. It's not so much about colour, but class.

[@hobi1869]

Never judge a book by its cover!..

[@cnsmooth]

Hobi1 I never did, there was enough about him and the scene he represented to come to that conclusion. He even admitted it in this interview but on another channel. Once he got stabbed he took himself out of that mindstate and started concentrating on music, unfortunately he also stated making music I had no interest in to so didnt really check for anything he had to say.

[@Romanticpear]

classism and religion are more what divides people the more you learn about politics. sure racism exist, but how tan a person is pretty dumb reason to hate someone. it originally stemmed from people liking extremely pale women because it would signify that she was wealthy and didnt havr to work in the fields. im suprised in 2016 more people haven't clued in to this, but then again there is a lot of money dedicated to fueling these narratives

[@proph2008]

Dizzee. Dropped gems like the federal reserve isn't privately owned

[@BenQotsa]

most americans dont know this

[@davidevans9919]

I'm a big fan of Dizzee's music but he's clearly not a historian. Just to set the record straight. Sadly we did have slavery in the UK, the difference between the UK and America is the UK didn't need a war to end it. In 1772 Somersett's Case basically ended the ownership and sale of people and started the movement to end the trade altogether. In 1833 there was an act of parliament that ended slavery throughout the British Empire. Obviously some a*holes had issues but generally the public feeling was that it was wrong and should be done. Modern British racism is based more on post slavery immigration and not restricted to black people. It's no less stupid but doesn't carry the baggage of the American civil war. Also as it was backed by the establishment we don't have the institutional obstructions present in America.

[@j_thom]

I wonder where in East London he grew up, I spent lots of time there and experienced what I call the "true stew", everyone from everywhere mixing together and getting along. . . mostly. I dont want to make it sound perfect, because it wasnt, lots of poverty, marginalization, and pockets of racism. All the same, nothing as overt, potentially lethal, and out in the open like I've witnessed here in the states. Dunno where he was going with these 'black kings in England' thing tho. The way European aristocracy guards, plans, and catalogs it's bloodlines, map out it's lineage and intermarried, rest assured, there are no secret Africans that have sat on the throne of the British Empire.

In England black people and white people get along fine on the whole, also the worst parts of the UK aren't as bad as the worst parts as America. We haven't had a black or mixed race person leading the country yet, but we have had 2 females, the first one was 30 years ago.

[@trevzzdadevz]

The slaves owned by the British population were based in the Caribbean and invested in almost like stocks (as messed up as it sounds). You would check the age, health, sex etc. on paper and buy the slave based on the information. When slavery was abolished, the British government paid the slave owners compensation for losing their slaves to the sum of between £16-17 billion (yes, pounds) in today's value. Obviously, the slaves got nothing, but "freedom" except they still had to provide 45 hours a free labour per week. It was the largest ever government bailout in Britain's history until the financial crisis I think.

The reason racism isn't really a thing in modern day England is because rough neighbourhoods aren't segregated into different races you'll have both white, blacks, indians and Chinese people roaming the ends, whereas in America in the 'hoods' its mainly blacks and Mexicans. tbh blacks aren't REALLY a target for racism in England the main targets are muslim... probably gonna get bare hate for this comment but fuck it, it is what it is init

[@executiverico7275]

There were slaves in England but not in the numbers like there were in America. But from 1600's to the 1800's slaves were being brought to the UK. Cities like London,Liverpool and Bristol were major ports so it's natural slaves would have been brought to England. Central London in Elizabethan times was a 'Ghetto', Queen Elizabeth 1 made a bill to curb the entry to England as she did not want London swamped with 'Blackamoors'. Oluadah Equaino famous slave abolishinist was brought up in London during the 1700's, like most slaves in that time the population generally mixed in with the whites as their numbers were not like in America. There was nor a substantial Black population in UK until after WW2.

[@executiverico7275]

+Tharealtharowkilla Well explain how they came by England? Central London as a Ghetto so that population could not all have been for royal services. indeed I agree they were in servitude positions, some where skilled workers and even in positions of nobility. Either way they either stepped of a slave ship or trade ship and we're given freedom in England. The evidence is there in Liverpool,Bristol,Cardiff and the City of London/ Docklands where are the big Banks and insurance companies are who made their money from Slavery.

[@executiverico7275]

Mate I dunno where you are from? I have accepted that there was no slavery. I only wanted to highlight that the Blacks in England during the Elizabethan to Victorian time did not on mass enjoy a special treatmen t and had their own personal struggles, of course which can't be compared to their African counterparts in the Americas; you can't say the Black's in England weren't affected by slavery otherwise how did the Abolitionist movement key member's come from England and some were Black's that were settled in England. Of course there has been African settlements in England during the 'Dark ages' and during the time of the Roman Empire, I don't need a history lesson from you I'm very well read bruv.

[@executiverico7275]

I know what Ghetto means- and I have proven facts that show the Blacks in London were segregated to what is now Soho, Fitzrovia and Shaftsbury Avenue area of Central London and East London. There are roads namd after Black people in London such as 'Black Boy Lane' etc. www.fantompowa.net/Flame/slavery_in_london.html

[@soulbrown7838]

The British slave trade was in America and South America and the Caribbean

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

The British compensated all plantation owners and colonial slavers in relation to slavery at abolition to the tune of billions of pounds. The actual slaves were never compensated.

[@soulbrown7838]

+James Kibirige why you telling me this for ?

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

*****​​​ Bullshit the abolition of slavery was because the industrial revolution removed the requirement for manual labour to produce those Commodities like sugar and cotton. They didn't pay slave owners to free their slaves complete rubbish when those slave owners never paid one penny for the slaves taken to the Carribean. Slavery in the Carribean was very different from America in that it was in most cases not generational in the sense that the children of slaves were then enslaved. It's well known that slaves taken to the Carribean were often dead within 10 years of arriving because of the brutality. Thus they often went to Africa to replenish their supplies. The whole point of slavery is that it was free labour, none of the African slaves taken to the Carribean were paid for or bought in some form of slave market this is a fallacy. Thus slave owners never paid for any slave in the Carribean. These slaves my fellow Africans were victims of kidnap and forced labour. Thus your comments are unbelievably stupid. These slave owners were compensated because abolition put them at a loss. Abolition meant that all slaves were to be set free no matter what. And thus Britain compensated the owners for their losses. You are very stupid to think that abolition was anything to do with Charity that these men and women were paid as some form of Charitable act. Slavery marks the beginning of British capitalism, slavery was never really about race it was about money and the need for cheap labour. Thus the reasons for abolition were only economic in nature. If this wasn't the case slavery would have taken much longer to abolish. Do you know how long the suffragettes worked campaigned and were forced to become terrorists in the UK to get equal rights for women? They fought for those rights women died to win the vote and even after winning the right to vote it wasn't full rights it took decades for women to have full rights to vote. And to this day in regards to pay, wages and salary women in Britain and the West as a whole are not paid the same as men working in the same professions at the same level. So you are incredibly naive to suggest that the abolition of slavery had anything to do with charity or a change of heart. That is not the way the world works to this day because that is Western capitalist society I am afraid.

[@Jay-Kay-Buwembo]

*****​​ Because it's not a fact. You are falsifying the truths of the slave trade. The slavers and owners were compensated they were not paid to free slaves. Only the slave owners and slavers were compensated not the slaves that were brutalised for 400 years. Abolition meant that all slaves were freed no matter what so what your words insinuate are completely false. Nobody paid anyone to free any slaves that is completely false. That wording makes it seem like the compensation those people received was to help slaves which is not true. Its a fact that the industrial revolution eventhough initially funded and boosted by profits from slavery effectively ended slavery as a result of inventions and more sophisticated technology that made manual labour redundant. The story about these good little abolitionists that saved the blacks via campaigning is a lie and a big one. Only economic reasons could have ended slavery end of. My mention of womens rights is to show you the nature capitalist societies. In that money talks rather than charity and protest thus women won those rights by fighting for them they were not given freely. As an African living in the West today slavery is an important and terrible part of my history and all members of the African diaspora and thus get your facts straight before making inaccurate comments. You would expect the same from a Jew if you were to make false statements about the Holocaust. Thus you needed to be corrected by the facts of history.

America is divided by race and class. England/UK is divided by Class. That is the main difference. In America, it doesn't matter how much money you have, being black will always be a curse to some degree. Another major difference is that Americans tolerate Islam/Muslims/Middle eastern culture 100 times better. THOSE ARE THE 2 MAIN DIFFERENCES.

I think the slaves in England are the Carribbeans. They have English names but they were made slaves in the Caribbean not the UK.

[@fedup4190]

Not just that, England didn't need slaves, they owned "businesses" (countries), in different parts of the world and collected on their wealth and resources

[@DuttyRockb]

+Amerie C Naah the slave traders sent out were English and they were the transporters of slaves. England was one of the biggest players. In the Caribbean the English ran the plantations

[@nuglifeben8131]

There were some slaves in Britain but the majority they owned were in different countries. In Britain they just used poor white people for labour that's why there weren't that many slaves over here

[@nischon]

+DuttyRockb The Britsh weren't just the biggest players, the practically created the whole game that was black slavery

[@leonreaper90]

@Nischon Bullshit, Romans and Arabs did it centuries before the British Empire.

[@TheMistaRich]

Dizzee is a legit legend. Always had a lot of respect for him and he's awesome live 🔥

[@DuttyRockb]

There's a big proportion of black people from the Caribbean in England... Jamaica etc ... And we are the descendents of slaves. Our families either came to the UK, USA or Canada. Which is why anyone of Caribbean background will have groups of family in these countries too. The Caribbean was where the most unruly slaves were taken. After coming from the us or the Americas. The other proportion of black people in the Uk come direct from Africa, and the majority have not real connection to the slave trade. Which is why Dizz probably didn't educate Vlad as he's African and doesn't have it in his linage..

[@ColdDream224]

+DuttyRockb Thank you, I was just about to mention this, but you have already done it, quite eloquently if I do say so myself. Being of Jamaican descent living in the UK, unfortunately I didn't learn that are ancestors were slaves in Jamaica, until I did my own research. I was like Dizzee where I thought only America had slaves.

[@kevinharvey7139]

What does Vlad know he is just some guy that came from the ukraine

[@nigeldonaldson1647]

lets not forget the U.K was the MOST RECENT country in the world to have had an Empire, & that Hitler visited here and took inspiration from it in his warped way before "the rise to power" When it comes to racism in England, it's very suptle as is being said, a lot less so than in the late 70s in this country with skin head culture and anarchy, the suplty is what makes it so dangerous. Also there is STILL a lot of class prejudice to which magnifys the problem as were an island country, there are too many -Dukes, earls,Viscounts, Marqueses etc re-enforcing pomposity

[@boneTHUGS111]

Sam Jo in what way? alot of the people in the US still have a backwards mindset, your far behind people in the UK in that respect but its not your fault as you guys havent been around long.

[@Celestialtarotreadings]

Buddy.......I am British, and live in the USA. The UK is backward in EVERY way one can possibly think of, hence why people like me cannot stand the UK and every time we visit, we cannot wait to leave. Yall better pray the EU keeps your ass, coz the young people and anyone with drive and ambition knows that the UK has shit to offer.

[@boneTHUGS111]

Sam Jo yeah america has alot to offer its a beautiful country shame its full of alot of dicks! i'd really struggle to cope with them yanks. they do my nut in. we get alot here of them in oxford in the summer months. where you from back here? and you need to elaborate on how england is backward in comparison to the states?? america is a far more beautiful country, its vast, nice beaches, moutains ect theres more to do there. but in terms of us being backwards i dont get what you mean.

Eric Mifsud you missed tha point whiteboy... Australia is a black mans country.. us black Australians live in worse conditions then anybody else Livin in our country. We are treated like third class citizens in our own country. We have nothing to build on in our own country. .. what do you know about oppression whiteboy?

[@dwrighte1]

The slaves in the UK during the 19th century were the ones who were taken there by their masters to work as servants. As for plantation slavery, that did not occur in the UK. It amazes me how little Americans know about history outside of the USA.

[@kolyxix]

Or their own history

[@KeirBo]

Dizzee kept it real here. I hate it when people from London try make out like we live in hoods, our shit is nothing compared to the shit I've seen in America. Plus I know there's racists everywhere but when I see the shit that goes on in America even in the big cities and how justice is never served, I'm thankful for how much easier we have it over here.

[@AnbusKi]

Gentrification directly targets Black folks living in London/Brixton/Bristol etc etc.(And the way British media targeted Black people during the London riots showed how they really felt and not to mention all the stop and frisk or even how poverty and and long prison sentences disproportionately affect Black people in England.

[@KeirBo]

AnbusKi Gentrification isn't just a black and white thing. It's more of a class thing, getting out the working class which a high number of ethnics happen to me, but it also affects white working class as well. I do agree the Media is fucked, but that's just how it goes in general, everywhere. I personally think the stop and searches are a lot more non existent in comparison to how it was like a decade ago, but that's because we don't have the gang culture like we used to. Funny how gang culture decreases when gentrification increases, it ain't all bad.

[@toocharged]

it's not as poor as in America but the people in the hood are hard most of the people from back in the day came from Jamaica and they were from the hood them Jamaicans were crazy as fuck

[@JT-km6th]

+Keir Bo Na, i know you want to be the 'it happens to everyone' type of guy but truth of the matter is black people are the ones hurting the most from it and its annoying you act like it isnt a race issue.

[@drumsbass8417]

+AnbusKi i'm white and grew up in brixton. i will never afford a house here and am being pushed out. Gentrification affects anyone who doesnt have lots of money regardless of race.

[@IT-kk6rx]

***** Like he said it's more covert in the UK. I'm sure one of the reasons it is worse in the US is because the gun laws. Blacks are getting shot and killed without any justifiable reason which is way harder to ignore. Who knows what it would be like if guns were so available in the UK.

+RedPapaG As an American he did good. He was about to speak on the federal reserve which I knew where he was going with the conversation. He got scared because he saw Vlad was playing dumb. He doesn't want bad attention brought to him. Maybe you are not informed if you didn't noticed that. It is called picking up the small details being aware. As far as slavery is concerned the man is not a history major so I don't expect him to spew a book of knowledge but from several interviews he seems to have wit about him.

[@RedPapaG]

+General Zod as an American? what does that mean? look son, dizzee is a cool guy but not the best informed. your defence of him was sweet, but pointless. like the guy below says, if you want to speak to a British MC about slavery Akala is the man... he knows quite a bit. though. he makes some nonsense points too!
