Why Dudley Town Is The Perfect Place To Experience The Black Country

[@davidripley2916]

It's got zero connection to race. It's about soot, or carbon from hundreds of thousands of chimneys ( domestic and industrial) polluting and colouring brickwork. . . Don't forget the region's industrial standing, too. There's even a species of moth called the Pepper Moth which mutated to a black form to evade predators ( it could hide in plain sight without being eaten)

Thanks for the insights Dave… apart from the locals…. I believe many naturalised Dudley residents doesn’t know this… I still have more stories to cover on Dudley as the town is rich in heritage and culture… This is just an introductory video to Dudley town… Please kindly support me by subscribing to my channel

Nice historical info RB

[@grai]

are there any British people left in Dudley?

[@raphaelwhitney]

Definitely they are… I was suppose to have an interview with a local. He’s originally from Dudley town but unfortunately he couldn’t make it

[@davidripley2916]

I fort Lenny Henry's a ( bad) hobbit nowadays. . .

[@zaraaxax]

@grai 88% of the population of Dudley is white British people. Your comment is so rude and unnecessary.

[@grai]

@@zaraaxax not everyone is as *woke* as you are dear thank fuck

[@billdoor3140]

​@Chalia-ov2bl it's not rude its honesty. And if you believe that 88% figure us accurate you clearly don't live here. All the local schools are more like 80% Muslims. Just Google "Dudley Pro Palestine march"...

Its because of the industrial revolution. It used to be an area of industry with coal mining (which is black) also so much smoke and what from factories that they used to say the sky was black by day and red by night( because of the furnaces) many of the buildings would have been like the buildings in peaky blinders blackened on the outside from the smoke

[@jong9945]

More like South Africa than black country

[@Palazzo_of_Bone]

maybe try interviewing English people with a real connection to the history next time?

[@raphaelwhitney]

Oh… Thanks boss… That’s a lesson

[@Imgaezz]

They are English people 💀 didn’t you hear the accents

@@earthalien2584 half of the white people in the uk aren’t FULL English if you’re full English I’m sorry to tell you but you’re inbred.

[@billdoor3140]

​​@@Imgaezzdon't see many of em supporting England during the football, wearing a poppy during remembrance day or supporting GB during Olympics mate...although if you Google "dudley town pro Palestine narch" you'll see what they actually support. Maybe come live amongst this lot , send your kids to schools that are 80% Muslims then tell us all how English they are...

[@Imgaezz]

@@billdoor3140 nobody in England is full English…. They’d be inbred if they were FULL English. We were invaded so much . And “mate” your not full English either I’m sorry to tell you

[@stuartthurman9040]

Just to let you know wolverhampton isn't blackcountry

[@raphaelwhitney]

Thanks for the contribution, you are and i am also right..... Wolverhampton city centre falls outside of the area traditionally known as the Black Country, although some areas such as the town and former borough of Bilston and Heath Town and the Willenhall side of Wolverhampton fall within the Black Country coalfields, leading to confusion as to whether the entire city falls

[@careytitan9097]

The Black Country was the heart of the Industrial revolution. There were no Black people there, only indigenous whites. None of the people you interviewed are indigenous but the Polish guy got it right. Industry created mass pollution, churning black soot from the furnace's and factories, blocking out the sun, also the coal seam, where the poor indigenous whites toiled and died young from lung diseases, the slaves of the rich elites. Britain had no black slaves because they had white ones. The furnaces of the chain makers made the chains for the Titanic, Joe Mallen was one, who got the working mans Staffordshire Bull Terrier breed recognised and won crufts best of breed with his dog Gentleman JIm. The fact you have to ask means you are a foreigner.

[@raphaelwhitney]

Definitely I am a foreigner… I actually wanted to know if foreigners who lived there knows the reason why it’s called the Black Country… But it was unfortunate that I didn’t really get enough people beca when I got to the location the market was closed. Carey I really appreciate your contributions… Thanks so much for being part of the community… Dudley has a lots of history which is not known to many people… So we need to promote the culture and heritage

[@careytitan9097]

@@raphaelwhitney What is the 'WE''? Fact is you do not belong here in the first place, you are a foreign Immigrant, not one of us! Just as I would be an Immigrant in Africa. Living somewhere does not make you an indigenous person of a country. Nor are those Asian's or Polish guy you interviewed indigenous. None belong here. Our History does not include you or any other immigrant, so do not pretend that it does!

[@Imgaezz]

You do realise that the government is at fault. They promised the immigrants all these nice jobs and money. Then they shoved them in back streets. I’m mixed. I’m a British person.

Wolverhampton ppl are different to black County foke

[@janetthomas8244]

This just seems strange.

[@raphaelwhitney]

Strange in what way?

@@careytitan9097 lol that was my thought initially when I heard about Dudley even my aunt who has been in the Uk for over 30 years never heard of Dudley

[@j.g.c.2494]

very sad.

[@raphaelwhitney]

Why are you sad? Is everything okay?

[@grai]

@@raphaelwhitney it's impossible for you to understand how sad it is for British people who remember Britain before mass immigration It's perfectly normal now for us to look at KZbin and TV about our towns and never see anyone English in them And *yes* I mean white people!
