As a Black Person living in the UK, I have experienced racism from Fellow Black People, particulary the pseudo "conscicious" ones, I have received racism from Pakistanis and Indians these two groups they a deep problem with being racist. Then there is the casual racism from White people based on ignorance etc. We need to tackle minority to minority racism aswell as mainstream racism

[@mr.coolmug3181]

Racism will never end. I was listening to the radio this morning, and a Police Chief came on air and said we need more black and asian police officers so that they can police their own community's. What exactly is he saying? He's saying that either white officers can't be trusted to do the job, or that these communities don't trust white officers to do the job. That is pointing out an inherent problem with our society. Multiculturalism doesn't work, is what that Police Chief is saying. He's saying white people can't possibly police black or asian people because of bias or community distrust or whatever. The divisions are there, but people ignore things like this that clearly show multicultural societies don't work. Asians hate whites and blacks hate whites, they don't want them policing them. These things will never be fixed.

When the guy in the car said it takes you to change ypur situation, I was with him. Go to college, get a degree. Apply for the positions of judge, or police officer. As an American, this brother lost me by basically saying If you dont like being judged as a drug dealer change your clothes. The thing is that when we as black people wear suits and ties, we still are discriminated against. Regardless of how straight we make our hair, we still will be discriminated against. He needs to listen to the young sister that had the art gallery. She saud that she didnt want her daughter to assimilate to a culture that wont except her anyways.. That is what we are up against. Why should we change the way I dress, or choose to style my hair to be treated as equal?? Britain has its own set of problems, that American blacks will never understand. But we know that shedding your blackness to appease whiteness, only results is the loss of your black identity. You will never be excepted in a white society unless you force them to accept you as you are.. much blessings from Houston, Texas in the U.S

[@jomc20]

Do you know that in England more young black school leavers go to university than white, as a percentage of the population? It is poor white children who do worst in our society. My impression is that the more that black men and women are seen in suits and ties, the more perceptions are changing among other racial groups. Clothes do affect how people are viewed by others. Young women who go out clubbing wearing virtually nothing but underwear are not likely to be treated with respect, whether black or white. Its not fair because everyone should, in theory, be free to dress as they please. However, clothes do give out a message about how we want to be perceived as well as reflecting our personalty. If you dress like a drug dealer you have to expect some people to see you as z potential drug dealer. If certain hair styles are worn by criminals, they are surely best avoided? Personally, I find cornrows very attractive and tidy and across are natural and why should you take what is natural? The only problem is at school- other kids in class not being able to see the board! It is a shame that anyone should be made to feel they're not accepted and therefore not wish to integrate. I live in a fairly wealthy suburb and over the past 20 years more and more minority residents have moved here, which must be a sign of upward mobility. I have never heard a complaint from white residents about that. I would be interested to hear of black Londoners' experiences of moving to predominantly white areas. I assume that some of the horrible racist scenes I see on KZbin from America are not happening here. I realise that my wish for harmony between all races could be overly optimistic..

[@jacktripper9672]

@@jomc20 " If you have hair like a drug dealer" What is the hair style of a drug dealer?? "If you dress like a gangster" What does a gangster dress like?? You used braids as away to say how black natural hair is an inconvenience. You see the problem is that if all black people straighten our hair and wor suits and ties, then straight hair and suits would become the way a drug dealer or a gangster dress. There are white drug dealers and white gangsters, but how do white gangsters and drug dealers dress, and why aren't that style of dress considered the attire of a criminal? You see its not rhe hair, the language, the music, or the clothes that cause white people discomfort, its the skin tone. So as black people on planet earth we can no longer apologize for our skin tone offending white people.Wedo not have to change. White people need to change how you guys view non white people.

OK ok it's off topic. It seems whenever someone gives what I feel is a valid opinion which I feel mine was you paint the black person as being negatively observed or discrimated against.

Personal empowerment is about being confident in who you are wherever you are.

I'm conflicted. Sometimes I think we as black people play the victim too much. I've taught in many schools and unfortunately the worse behaved was a predominantly black school. It was sad to see. On the other hand we do sometimes get treated differently. I once was pulled over by the police. I didn't have a problem with this. What I did have a problem with was them searching my car, asking my brother where his was born, telling me to empty my pockets and saying my car smelt like weed (it didn't). Something needs to change but as black people we also need to help ourselves.

[@harmonymiller1211]

Thank you. I share the same conflict but from the opposite side. I think racism exists in every country and involves more than just blacks/whites. To say that it doesn't exist would be both naive and foolish. But to say every bad experience with a member of a different race is because of racism is equally naive and foolish. Black people get tired of talking about it with white people because we don't understand. But white people get frustrated too because we get accused of "whitesplaining" when we try to explain that there was something else going on unrelated to race at all. But to try and explain it gives the impression we can't see racism sometimes when it WAS racism but to not explain means black people get the wrong impression that everyone is racist when they aren't. I don't want black people to shut up about true racism and I think white people (and every other race) have to work together to solve the issue. No one can solve this issue on their own without the others being involved. What the right course of action to deal with it though is debatable. But now I can imagine some black person coming along and telling me to "shut up" or that I am somehow giving them permission to speak. How can I give or deny someone else permission to speak on a site like KZbin? I can't stop anyone from speaking and (unless they are being completely over the top disrespectful) then I wouldn't even want to. But I can't even say something kind without it being misconstrued which means it's getting out of control. The American Civil Rights movement fought so hard for everyone to live and work in peace with others of different races. I thought that was noble. But now - ironically enough because of all the anti racist actions now where people are asking to be resegregated into groups - I wonder what the point of all that was because all I am hearing now is "we want to go back to being separate". As a white person I don't want that. I think society in general would be far poorer as a result if that happened. But I would be lying if I said sometimes I feel like white people that aren't racists are painted into a corner. No matter what we do, it will either never be enough, too little too late, be accused of being ignorant of the issues, unable to understand, or some other thing. And there are probably people that would say "There! See how it feels!? Serves you right!" as if two wrongs are suddenly going to make everything right. So we can't do anything - yet we can't just do nothing...

@@harmonymiller1211 I totally agree but the sad truth is that white people will never be able to understand slavery and racism to asians, Latinos etc. Cos racism LIKE THAT has never happened to them,, most white people say they want everyone to be equal but the truth is not everyone is gonna listen and wanna unite so you just have to live with that, that speech of yours may or may not stop a few from being racist but not everyone.

This host is very lost and clearly has little understanding of what it means to be black in Britain. You can't barricade yourself from racism, especially when you work for a British corporation. The people were describing institutional racism which is much more subtle than name calling and bigotry. This is the type of racism that we face in Britain whereas in the US its always been made very clear. Why should we have to change our cultural identity to be accepted? because this is the same culture that corporations love to exploit but don't want anything to do with the people from it. However I do agree that BLM protests need to be backed by policies, we cant be asking for acceptance anymore. We should be asking for funding for black businesses so we can build our own economic system. The BBC has recently been doing documentaries on our forgotten history in this country. Showing how the British economy was built off the backs of our ancestors. So honestly, we are entitled to reparations because no one else is going to help us, we need to help ourselves collectively.

[@Rabbittavo]

Pan-European National Socialist The colonies were like half the world.....most of africa suffered under colonization, it's commonly called "the rape of Africa". When it comes to the european renissance it was black muslims who preserved and contributed to the revival of greek knowledge. In Andalusia and parts of italy it was commonplace for people to be educated publicly while most of europe was in the dark ages. This is pre-17th century europe. When we talk about art we can trace contributions pretty accuratly. The violin was introduced to the region in this same period. Besides hip-hop black people have also given the world the banjo, blues, jazz, country and gospel, there were many contributions to the sciences during the "golden age of islam". Poverty is the leading factor in crime rates. Black people worldwide have suffered under a caste system which privileges those who are lighter. Race is a social construct with very limited applicability outside of it. Black people are no more violent than any other group, the narratives we use to frame black life are unduly problematic especially on light of white history and present. No group is only angels but the idea that black people are performing under metric has never been true. History kind of proves that black people have always surpassed their conditions. As for rawanda the beginning of that genocide was colonialism. Drawing lines that bind multiple tribes into one nation has been a sore source of conflict in many places, not just africa. Slavery in Africa was not a chattle system, it wasn't pretty but it also wasn't race based and didn't have multi-generational components for the most part. The arms race that was sparked by the european desire for cheap labour swept Africa, it was make slaves or become ones as far as choices go. It's a tough one yet to reconcile but it's not the simplistic situation you present. Your information seems rooted in western imperialism which is why i responded.

I'm very much against us black Brits adopting black American issues & culture. We have our own culture & issues. Yes hair & complexion bias needs to die, we got issues with education & mental healthcare but it's lot like we're getting shot up in the streets by police is it. We've got it pretty easy here for the most part. I believe political lobbying & media campaigns rather than street protests is the better option. "The global face of blackness is American" this in itself is the problem because we as black people are so much more than American stereotypes. Side note: the interviewer is peng 😍

[@geekchickaz]

I wouldn't say because we're not dying in the streets at the hands of police means we've got it easier. Racism in Britain is hiding in the background and it's difficult to fight what you can't see. We have to work hard to prove racism in this country before we can overcome it. This is more than about stop and search. We've got opportunities but the glass ceiling is still there.

[@boostmeup]

listen up, I am black and there is a big sense of entitlement in our community especially the Afro-Caribbean community. We sit back and expect things to be done for us, rather than doing things for ourselves. We must adopt the mindset that NOBODY owes us ANYTHING. As a community we are more likely than others to be working for people than employing people. Look at the Gujarati community, who were kicked out Uganda with £100 in the 60's. They came to Leicester and turned into millionaires by immediately owning businesses and buying properties. We need to stop being Victims and have the foresight to lead our own destiny. In my town we have tons of people come from Iraq and syria, within 10 years they owned most of the businesses in the area. We are also least likely to own properties and most likely to rent. Our parent's were different in this regards, they bought properties. We should be having big massive chains of barbers, carribean food restaurants, music companies but we have sat back and allowed the Turtle Bays of this world to exist and make money from our community. we have no one to blame except ourselves. It all starts with good parenting - preferably in a two parent home. It's not abotu black live matters demonstrations, it's about good parenting matters. To be fair i dont blame other communities thinking we are lazy, some of the iraqis came here with nothing but turned the area into a business haven through hard work and wanting to own a business with the first bit of money they got.

[@akinsankofa]

Stockholm syndrome; blaming victims for being victimised. Having grew up in a Black family that owned grocery stores and a wholesale outlet in the 1970s. all of that now gone. The issues is more to do with the pooling of financial resources, and the awareness that Black british caribbean people want to integrate into a financial system that does not reward their descendants with employment. The lack of a viable supply chain of products from the Caribbean and West Africa to the UK. The culture of the individual , and personal ego, narcissism subsuming the idea of the community and the group need, has to be divorced and abandoned. it is that culture of second generation "Afro-Caribbean" people that has resulted in the break up of the two person household, the shortage of disposable income in black homes. btw many better Afro-caribean owned restaurant chains than turtle bay in London and Birmingham

There is still tension if it's just one group of the same race living in close proximity. Racism is culprit not tension.

[@robinlaurence6284]

I was so excited to view this video but am angered and disappointed in the BBC for this nonsense, which unfolds like a propaganda hit piece for Fox News. From the fallacy that changing ones self can cure institutionalized racism to the oddly hostile way the narrator frames his questions, the disheartening and myopic view of the subject matter, sprinkled with the presenter's droll observations, was maddening. Why? The bootstraps argument, reframed here with a tracksuit, is trite, flawed and has been debunked. Usually a weapon of verbal force against the black masses to absolve the government for its failure to provide equal treatment under the law, it was appalling to see a black man wield it against his own people. We do NOT need a white savior or a black apologist and we do need to recognize the inherent flaws in the system that we do not control or are often shut out from. I have seen countless people with the right skills, best clothes, a trinity Ivy degree and hustle for days get dismissed and discounted just because of their race. Maybe he doesn't know a lot of people of color with degrees and pedigree that have encountered racism and resistance to them just existing but the struggle is real. This dude is disappointing on so many levels.

Darrell Blake It means stop being such a sissy. Yes there is evil in the world but its how you let it effect you. If you cry like a little baby then hey its working they got you. U think u can’t do anything cuz u black everything is cuz u black. How about u brush it off and keep going and if you don’t succeed and look at yourself and see how u can improve. In many cases its how u carry yourself ive seen so many stupid people blaming there race or gender but it’s becoming they handled the situation poorly. So i hope u learn something

How did the white couple miss their holiday? if they were late for a flight it was their fault you should be at least an hour or two early for a international flight.

[@pureplay7071]

The poor get it, looked up and down by people in their low paid jobs. The disabled get it, people to scared to understand. Anyone who dares to be different gets it. It's not just black people, 'we all get it' it's called discrimination.

[@candacetheangel3388]

Woah, did he say that if you’re being judged for wearing a durag and tracksuit bottoms, it’s not a huge sacrifice to just take it off to further your chances in life? That is such a disappointing take. We are not the problem. We shouldn’t have to make sacrifices in how we express ourselves to accommodate the prejudice of others. Furthermore, as we know, Black people who look more ‘acceptable’- that wear suits perhaps, and speak in the Queen’s English- are no more immune to racial prejudice either. There are no amount of changes we can make on our side that will change racialised perceptions, nor should we have to spend our energy on proving racist bastards wrong.

@@candacetheangel3388 no disrespect. I just remember 30 years ago black Americans were like the only ones wearing and making those. In Toronto you'd be accused of trying to be an American just for wearing one. 😂

As a black female child in the united states, i felt racism from an early age. And I never could grasp the deep-seeded hatred of my right to exist alongside some whites, who were taught to discount me for being black. I had often wondered what it was about me that disgusted those same whites.

[@CARIBNATURALS]

I would like to ask those black youth marching a question or two about the history of black people....I can bet not many would be able to tell me. Like the presenter said...lose the tatoos, lose the saggy pants, lose the hoodies and start the process of changing the mindsets. If there is a problem in getting employment, then get up black people and start owning your own small businesses and coorporations.

[@kramniboh1189]

“I went for a drink with my white friends and wondered what they actually thought about me” He didn't ask his 'friends'? Did it really happen? Because surely he knew his white friends would see this - was he trying to cause an unnecessary division? Also, it's the BBC so this all should be taken with a pinch of salt.

[@kryztyanospqkenzington7716]

Exactly mate, BBC has agenda for leftism and division. I mean they were all very well dressed people who can speak freely, be heard and can get jobs, yet they are opposed? At worst have a negative stigma against them but most cultures and people have stereotypes that are negative

[@lipstodieformanfred9072]

I was NF all my life, I grew up in the 70's and 80's as a skinhead, I carried my thoughts into my adult life and also preached my views to my kids. I joined a white nationalist movement and corresponded with the Aryan brotherhood in Alabama and become extreme to the point of pure hate. I battled cocaine for years and have lost everything to it , including friends. I was sent into recovery and while in there I met two black fellas who never stopped reaching out to me , caring and concerned. driving 10miles to pick me off the floor and sit with me while I was unconscious. These two men have removed every ounce of my prejudice and I now feel so free. The kindest men I have met, and they were black. I now have a great girlfriend with a mixed race kid. she's my saviour. my hate held me back for so long. we're all brothers , it's not black or white , it's good or bad. I'm fucking free and it's wicked. I also want to shagg a black bird now but I don't cheat !

[@winterberry3190]

1, know what you want. 2, know what you are standing for. 3, stand for what you are standing for. If we want change, we have to make that change, know our selves, know what we really want, in a whole large scale. Black people are cultural, we are colourfully bright, we are not totally understood. We talk laud at times, laugh a lot, does not mean that we are aggressive or that we want trouble or are bringing about trouble which I know most white people fear is coming, but nothing was ever coming but fun, laughter and joy. I don't protest, but I know know what I would want as a change, I sure won't need to think about it, no offence to them who did not know what they would have said.

[@Tsb702]

5:00 - did he say “half-cast”? Is that an acceptable end common British term used to reference mixed race/Black and White? It’s amazing to me how most in the US feel the UK is so much better at dealing with racism, is overall less racist as a whole. However, the more research I do the more I find the racial climate is pretty close to that of the US. I was hoping to find out the contrary.

[@emanresUcireneG]

T Coleman It isn’t close at all. Do some real research.
