Actually, the Romans had Mediterranean Africans in Britain not sub saharan Africans.

The African merchants daughter found in Britain is an interesting one. Her tomb was found in Britain.
Examination of the body proved she was born in North Africa, not in Britain.

My wife and I were born in 1939 in England and left for Australia in 1964. When she was a child her mother scolded her for staring at a black person because she had never seen one they were so rare. This was a US Serviceman in the second World War. I worked in London in 1956 and never saw a black face. Anyone can look at Utube historical film of crowds of English people enjoying themselves at the beach and streaming out of a factory after work. See how many coloured faces you can see!

"[black people in british history] is sometimes thought-of as a story that begins with the arrival of the windrush"
โ That's because it essentially is: The Windrush generation was the first time Britain had any significant population of black people.
"Black people have been living in this country for centuries"
โ Only if you use the word 'black' in a completely different way to how it's being used in the present (using it to refer to north Africans as opposed to sub-saharan africans) and count a couple of hundred peasants over a few hundred years as a 'black presence'

We know this 4th century Roman woman was African because her remains were quite dark and among her possessions was a BLM hoodie

No, you wuz not kangz an sheeiiit. The jews keep telling you wuz a kang, but you are not a kang. You are not compatible with england so stop thinking you made Europe before tha whypipo came and took it from you. Europe was European and the Europeans are not from your kind.

Rewriting history to not offend the idiots, makes you think that this is just a prostituted propaganda corporation spouting negrocentricism to "free the slaves from the evil oppressor" the classic marxist terminology to overthrow england from the whypipo.

imagine being so insecure about yourself that you need to lie to yourself to claim you have been apart of history that you CLEARLY were not apart of.

Musicians should definitely be payed for their talents. We should respect and give them the love if we can where we can and when we can. Not when they leave church and they receive the love elsewhere and we wonder why they left church because we didn't nourish them and cherish them enough.

Interesting how the negative votes no longer shows. Blacks in high society Georgian England? Push the narrative as much as you want, that doesn't make it true. Oh, sorry, I forgot that "Sixty two thousand four hundred repetitions make one truth"! My bad!

Can u imagine if they had our history?if they built London only for us to come as beggers then through emotional blackmail lies and bullying try to erase theirs for ours,if u had a proud history u would not have been governed by Europeans and Arabs,or Turks,basically every part of the world has its history, but this is evil lies and is all the more disgusting given that the people with no proper history accuse us of ripping off theirs, it wonโt work, u need to take ur European education and go help build African,then u might be more honest honourable and content ๐ฌ๐ง๐ฌ๐ง๐ฎ๐ช๐ฌ๐ง๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ

there are a couple black people in british history i can think of, even in the aristocracy like dido belle or the ethiopian prince or queen victoriaโs african goddaughter, but black brits today are newcomers. idk if theyโre influenced by black americans having black history month but black brits are not like the black americans who are part of the fabric of the USA and have been there since 1619. black brits today are immigrants or children/grandchildren of immigrants. they have no claim to the history.

The history of black people in England.
..From 4th c Roman Britain to the 19th c..
โฆRoman era:
Remains of a random woman 4th c York.
Then jump 1100 years to 16th c Tudor times.
1530,
..A musician in court of Henry 8th ,
Then jump 300 yeaea to 19th c ,
1805,
..A sailor on lord Nelson's ship โฆ
Not exactly worthy of a book,
more a pamphlet comprising of 2 or 3 pagesโฆ
..when the guy in the video spoke about a long line of black people in Britain, from Roman times onwards.
I didn't expect it to be long, but i thought it would be more than that.
But i guess that's why the video was so short, โฆ

@5:30 What is insane is that our ancestors were probably less racially prejudice than we are today. They trumpeted beside him because they did not view him as less than or other โ these are learned beliefs.
