Culture and the imputing of different Cultures at different times into the receptive Culture. The Best example of this is with the Caribbean communities in the UK. Primarily if you look at the several Diverse Cultures of Jamaica and others from Caribbean areas. Jamaica has several Cultures that were imputed into the UK at different times and their subtle differences show different social phenomenological outcomes. From The Kingston and North Western Intellectuals of Jamaica and the intellectuals of Barbados and British Guiana to the working class of the Jamaican Mountains and the Kingston Slums. The outcome of this is that there are some Caribbean elements that have excelled in Education, Politics, Commerce, Sport and Culture, some that have integrated very successfully into the British Working Class, some that are highly law abiding and devoutly religious and some that are not. Anybody that know “West Indians” will know this and has done for years, yet in the Racial Politics of the BAME study groups and their academic sponsors would like us to consider all these people as just “Black” only now with the obvious and complete inversion of all their theories due to the large influx of West Africans and Kenyans are they forced to maybe revalue their ignorant ideas. Yet even now it is with utter confusion and stupid questions of why there is a difference between a family from Nairobi that have arrived in 2020 to continue an expansion of their global small family business and the decedents of a loan unskilled man from Trenchtown Jamaica who arrived in December 1950. Why they ask is there a difference in outcome, experience and metrics? They should all be the same.. they are all Black. Just shows the deep racism of the intellectual progressive left

I grew up in a village in Wiltshire not far from Stonehenge. All white and still is The first black person I saw was when my Dad was doing a driving/delivery job and we went to Birmingham. We were living in Swindon at the time (1955) I was 5 and he took me along so we could visit a relative on the way back. I thought the black children I saw playing in a street we drove through had been captured and brought to England. I got quite upset until he did his best to explain that they were the immigrants children from the Caribbean. My Mum didn't come with us because she had to look after my sisters and my brother. We used to have a travelling salesman (a Sikh) call at our house in the village and him and my parents used to spend hours chatting away. My Dad spent time in India in the 2ndWW so he was very happy to gossip for hours with the gentleman. My Mum was Jewsih but only one very good neighbour knew as she had been a florist and had worked in London Hotels for many years. We were discriminated against for years from the time we moved there in 1958 though to 1965 when it all stopped. Unfortunately my Mum died in 1968 aged 47 from cancer. My Dad remained in the same house until he died at nearly 100 in 2022. The villagers told him he would be OK after 20 years of living there. Funny how he became so popular everyone knew him. He was a real character the church was packed at his funeral. He did a humanities degree when he was 61 (1982-1985) and got a 2.2 Hons. The students admired him because he annoyed the lecturers with his knowledge. Having lived and worked in the real world whereas they had spend their entire adult lives in academia.

I found this to be horribly accepting of the giant elephant in the room, namely the displacement and replacement of the native peoples of these islands. Why is it our job to solve the problems of people who arguably don't even belong here and could be happier and more at home elsewhere? Why do we have to bend over backwards to understand and incorporate cultures and ideologies that are alien to us and often destructive of our own culture and values? The White British popultion has been stable and seen no increase since 1971. We can solve the housing shortage, NHS crisis, overcrowded schools, patient waiting lists, clogged roads, overloaded infrastructure etc at a stroke. As an added bonus, many forms of crime, including and especially violent crime, would plummet if we take bold action and start putting our own people first. As G.K. Chesterton said, @Tolerance is the virtue of the man without convictions.'

Its why i hate the left now or far left whatever you want to call it.

The biggest issue that the UK is facing is related to the separation of church and state. Most immigrants come with their own religion, which often plays a central role in their politics. They find it challenging to separate the two. Despite being a Christian nation in name only, the UK is highly secular. Religion is the primary driver of societal division, intentionally intolerant, and consistently elevating one particular group over others. This is antithetical to equality and, more importantly, equity, as it reinforces its own dividing lines. Similar to other institutions, it aims to exert control and expects nothing less than people's submission to its doctrines.

No one would fault, say, the Ethiopians if they were upset with a flood of white immigrants who changed the nature of their country. Racial composition is part of that nature.

Well, I'm not surprised to hear that muslims view our police force favourably, when our police force literally enforces unconstitional blashpemy laws on their behalf and covers up certain crimes, like the Muslim grooming gangs, that help those communities save face. So I wouldn't say it is exactly a positive thing that they view the police force favourably, the police are more lenient with them and protect them more than anyone else. I suspect many native British people don't like the police seen as it seems that most hate speech laws are mainly imposed on them, more often than not incredibly unfairly, over none white minorities and even some white ethnic minorities, who can't even commit a 'hate crime' against the native majority in the eyes of most police forces. An excellent conversation and Dr. Rakib Ehsan makes some great points. I just wanted to add my two cents on that specific thing he mentioned about minorities having a positive outlook on our police, considering I am from Rochdale and have literally seen how the police force have treated certain groups favourably, over others, throughout recent decades.

The fundamental problem with a multi-ethnic society is threefold: (1) Cultures will come that work against the native culture because people will always have greater ties to their homeland and their previous culture than the one they move into. (2) A small percentage of the native population will work with the outgroup to improving their social standing, even at the expense of the in-group. We call these people liberals; and they are traitors. (3) The constant societal attention and effort it takes to combat points (1) and (2) means a society doesn't work on frankly more important issues. That leads to either treading water or regression of the economic and cultural conditions. I've never seen a rebuttal of these points since they're basically irrefutable. Multi-ethnic societies, where ethnic groups live in close proximity, have never worked.

Really surprised that KZbin hasn't stopped this programme already. Happily surprised but in general this is talking about matters that are no longer safe to talk about in public. Francis asks why we can't have these conversations, in a country where the Prime Minister gets questioned about making a joke or talking about men being men and women being women. Hate Speech legislation in public and in the workplace has become the greatest tool used for creating hatred and vilifying anyone who wants to debate these things.

He's talking about a time gone by, I'm afraid that ship has sailed. Lots of stating the obvious but nothing other than the ridiculous idea that there's a conscious effort on behalf of government to make assimilation difficult, as opposed to being able to choose not to, and not caring to. You don't notice people who assimilate, that's the point.

Having seen two large groups of young men facing off because they were of different ethnic groups - Kurds vs Pakistanis - I very much agree that the UK has imported a lot of problems, but no one wants to tackle such things for fear of upsetting one side or the other and getting slurred by the ‘victims’. Notice that the Leicester incident has been swept under the carpet? If one party had been young white men, there’d have been a lot more mileage in it for the talking heads and fhe press.

Blyth is the poorest town in Northumberland. Around the time of the last election, 40% of families in Blyth were living below the bread line. I suspected that number is the same, if not higher now. We are a mostly white, working class community. When people start talking about racism and white privilege, I get so annoyed. I'd love those same people to come here and just spend a day talking to families in this town. It is not a privilege to be white here. Most ethnic minority families in Newcastle are much better off than the average family in Blyth. Class is the issue in the UK, not racism.

@mikegray8776 8 ай бұрын

Rakib I’m with you on 95% of your observations and values - but we need to distinguish between tribalism and racism …. the first is unavoidable, the second is toxic. How many Indian or Chinese restaurants or Pakistani shop owners employ Anglo-Saxon or Celtic workers? Wholly understandable - but the lattitude should be granted both ways - we generally choose to work alongside PEOPLE LIKE US, all things being equal. As an employer, a female, lapsed-Muslim, ethnic Pakistani was one of my very best appointments - and turned out to be one of my very best friends. But you CANNOT legislate for human relationships - and the working dynamics of a small business are BASED on human relationships.

In the U.S. there was a study that "proved" job applicants with black sounding names were being discriminated against. It turned out that the white names were taken from the census records but the black names were taken from criminal records. So is it really the race or the criminality that's being discriminated against.

A great quote from 21:54: A real problem is middle class progressivism in modern day Britain, because these are people who, I think, they almost use racial identity politics as a way to deflect attention from their own position of socioeconomic privilege. Many people are actually insecure about their privilege. I just think "Listen, enjoy your privilege, but don't get in the way of effective social policy". If you are insecure about your privilege, I don't know, maybe see a therapist, sort that out yourself. ... What racial identity politics does, is it offers them an opportunity to appear rebellious without risking the destabilization of their own class-based interests and advantages. ... The left still doesn't talk enough about class-based barriers.

We need to factor in class as well. Immigrants who are from middle-class families (or have middle-class values) are are likely to have kids who better behaved and do better at school. In south London, I meet low-class Africans who are aggressive and rude and (if male) are sexually predatory; and I also meet respectable, educated, church-going Africans who are wise, lovely and polite.

Nothing was said in this vid that I didn't say already 40 (!) years ago as a community worker here in Amsterdam. I was cancelled in 1982. Think Rakib has done a great job. But maybe he missed out on a very important element. (Because of his cultural background😅) Christian Protestant culture is very much a guilt culture. These middle-class progressives feel guilty about their position of socio-economic privilege.(As Rakib states) So their solidarity with people that is less well-off is a way of paying for their sin. ( That's maybe what makes kneeling down so popular😂) Before the 1980's this solidarity was with the "working class", but it was always very uncomfortable because of the reasons Rakib mentions. So they left the communist party, founded the Green party and started the "cultural revolution" by a "March Through the Institutions". This was much more comfortable because they could stay in their own "comfort zone" and maintain their position of socio-economic privilege without being cuestioned. Then de-privileged minority groups felt this necessity of these (elitist) lefties and started to expliot it.(reparations) These (modern, woke) lefties feel an aversion against the working class because it brings their hypocrisy to the light and shows the reality behind their ideals. Still think you have done a great job Rakib! Thanks.

Re names, Jewish families very often changed or used anglicised versions of their surnames and chose very English first names for their children. Jewish people are well known for successful assimilation. On the other hand, we assimilate so successfully that we lose our culture...my kids don't identify with their ethnicity & my generation will probably be the last Jewish generation in my bloodline. More recently, I work with a lot of Chinese people & they almost all use western names instead of their Chinese names.

History has been ignored in this conversation. When India gained independence, non ethnic Indians were effectively removed from any position of authority. Similarly Malaya, Burma, Nigeria, Uganda etc., had the same attitude. With Scottish, Welsh and Irish independence and, by default, English independence, one must wonder what the effect may be. The socio economic privilege presumed to exist in Great Britain needs to be taken within the context of the society that exists in the former countries of the empire. What is, for example, the net worth of Robert Mugabe's daughter?

You miss an important point in the matter of the attitude of the settled immigrats to current immigration which is that some like many indigenous people, believe that enough is enough. They are as affected as anyone else by continued mass immigration, perhaps more so, in some respects. Perhaps rather simplisticly, I liken it to being a passenger on a boat. I'm on it. It's full. There are lots of others who want to get on it, all of them just like me and with the same reasons. But it's full. I could complain and campaign to allow these people who are just like me to get on the boat. But it's full. More people will make it uncomfortabel. The bar will run out, the toilets overflow and eventually, the boat will become unstable and even sink. I would be a fool to campaign for others to be allowed onto it.

Some have been cruel to me.
