Youtube Comments: England: Evil Empire - Seeds of Hatred
cmatcmextra
Yes. I know a lot of people are racists. It's not the fact that they are of a different nation but they come over here and can't be bothered to learn ENGLISH! I wouldn't dream of going to live in Germany without being fluent in German first!!!
britishreparations
So what you're saying is that you agree with the racist?
bullseye2121
You are such an idiot seriously how can you say anything about the British being racists. The KKK remind you of anything? America didn't give black's the same right till the 70's. You seriously are a joke and need to go back to the hole on which you came.
britishreparations
Bull, you are full of bull.
What about the BNP? The KKK doesn't hold seats in government here.
theshale
Neither does the BNP here!
See what I mean about checking facts first!?
rulebritannia1
the bnp and the kkk are very differnt
britishreparations
And anyway...
This video doesn't say anything about America being a racial utopia.
It's people in YOUR COUNTRY talking about RACE.
Why can;t you accept that this shit is just wrong?
theshale
More to the point: what the fuck has it got to do with you!?
People in glass houses shouldn't go throwing stones! - I'd clear up your own backyard before you start pissing on ours
cmatcmextra
No. Don't twist my words - is that the only way you can win the "campaign"? All I said was people who can't speak English and immigrant to England are pointless jerks. That's not racism, that's non-anglophone-in-England-ism. These people are "racist" in exactly the same way as me.
ohmsns
Of course what is going to happen when you throw people of different beliefs together? If you think that they will get on then you need your head looked at!
You just have to look at America and the Civil rights movement of the 60's.
theshale
Guys c'mon now...
This guy has been posting this rubbish up for nearly two months now and as of yet precisely NOTHING has happened, nor will it ever happen!
theshale
We still haven't seen any sign of this 'growing surge' of worldwide support for the demand for a free handout from the British Government, because everyone in the world knows that this is complete and utter bollocks, and that this twat's arguments are completely flawed, badly researched or just plain made up!
britishreparations
So Shale, the subjects int he video are MADE UP?
theshale
Nice try...
You and I both know that if you edit a video a certain way, you can make people appear to say something they didn't actually mean - it's called taking things out of context and it's the reason why you wont put the Questions in with the answers on the video.
I see that the Neo-Con syndicated Fox Media networks have addled your brain.
Try BBC in future mate, quality always shines through.
britishreparations
How is "People talking their own launguages in public is disgusting"
"It's very hard for black people in this country"
Taken out of context.. it's not as if people are cut off mid sentence!
theshale
That's not what I asked, and you know it!
If you've nothing to hide then why can't we hear what questions are being put to them???
Incidentially, I dont take the opinion of one spotty chav in a day-glo work vest as solid evidence of an inherently racist society! - there's 60 million of us here and he certainly dosen't speak for myself, my family, my friends nor the vast majority of us.
britishreparations
I typed a longer response.. but it didn't make it to here.
We didn't bring up racism/slavery. The People we interviewed did!
If anything, I was trying to get people to get angry about the book. Most were indifferent or submissive in their objections, much to my dismay.
theshale
You know why they brought up slavery? because around the time you interviewed them it was coming up to the 200th aniversary of the British abolition of Slavery started by William Wilberforce. it was in all the media at the time and was probably at the forfront of people's thinking.
And why were you deliberately looking to get angry reactions to the book? - in the hope it might shift a few more copies?
britishreparations
No.. it was to give an accurate portrayal of the facts.
Why would we want to sell books?
theshale
Trouble is, from what I've seen of the book - it doesn't deal in facts at all.
But the thing is, you DID get an accurate reaction to it...indifference and bemusment! - See, here's the thing about us Brits; If it looks like Bullshit and smells like Bullshit, we know it's Bullshit.
theshale
This ICBR movement has all the political weight of the Brownies, and it's obviously a gimmick to try and shift a few more copies of this 'book' (I use the word Book in it's loosest possible sense)
theshale
If this was any form of serious argument against the British state, then it would have surfaced long ago.
I find it highly suspicious that this would come around when the USA's standing in the world as at an all time low - call me cynical but it just looks like good ole fashioned American blame shifting to me
britishreparations
Yea, Shale, you're shifting the blame back, right?
Not, "Yes we did this shit and it's horrible, but the US has no right to talk."
Just that it's made up.
Arrogant British fool.
theshale
Nope, yet again my Colonial simpleton friend, you're trying to twist words!..tsk tsk, you really need to stop watching Fox news.
I never said once that my country has a spotless record and is all sunshine and lollipops! What I'm saying is what right do you have to point the finger at us? - and more importantly WHY are you pointing that finger now?! when you're seen in the world as nothing more than right-wing Christian Aggressors, I find the timing of this...curious.
theshale
These videos posts aren't even entertaining any more...
It's the same heavily edited bullshit (Curious how we can't hear the questions been asked first!?) using the same stock-in-trade collection of people, spewing out answers to questions we're not allowed to hear...I think you need to change tack here pal because your cause is going to die from either a general lack of interest, or a lack of credibility...or both!
bullseye2121
Yes but you didn't answer my Question i said nothing about it being politics here with this video you are saying that all British are racists when that is no were near true. America was the last country in the world to give the same rights to black people in the deep south there is still heavy racial hate towards black people.
britishreparations
It doesn't say all Brits are racist.
It's pointing out that there is a general undertone of racism in your country stemming from unresolved issues left over from Slavery.
In fact, you've got Brits SAYING that there are alot of racists in your country.
theshale
Hang on...
You're saying that not all Brits are racist but there's a general undertone of racism in British society!?! - If that were true, isn't that a contradiction?!
And if this were true, explain to me how these stem from 'Unresolved issues' of slavery? what issues?? how are they Unresolved???
hmmcrunchy
yes all brits say that!!! the 6 people you interviewed is a good representation of the whole of britain. especially the historical and social expert there who was only pretending to be a street cleaner. there are no facts here (as usual). ask most educated peope in britain and they will acknowledge the nasty things the empire did but you seem to ignore the good in favour of the bad and good old sensationalism.
britishreparations
That social expert cost us a few hundred quid including the constume. Apparently he's in high demand!
hmmcrunchy
i think you were taken for a ride there :)
britishreparations
Unfortunately, Mary Poppins was unavailable for comment.
britishreparations
You're right about timing.
While I didn't right the book... I can say that it was written simply because Brits (in general) put on the facade that nothing is ever wrong with the culture they've created or the effect they've had on the world.
theshale
I know you didn't 'Right' the book! (I think you mean Write)
Since when has my country ever put on a facade that there's nothing wrong with our society? Every night on TV there is some current affairs prog about some social wrong going on here, we face up to our problems and social ills - what we DONT do is go over to other countries and try to stir things up with theirs!
britishreparations
haha. My mistake.
Well maybe your country should?
theshale
then that would make us as bad as what your doing in your country's name right now! - Simply put, we dont have to!
theshale
Neither do we go forming organisations and trying to demand money off other nations based of dubious claims.
Nor do we feel the need to write a book of wild misrepresentations, racial slurs and exaggerations about a country either!
I find it staggering that the so-called bastions of freedom, liberty, tolerance and fairness would feel the need to resort to this.
britishreparations
Racial Slurs??
I've seen you stereotype and generalize quite a bit on here.
Are you racist, as well?
theshale
Hey, if your going to sling mud, then I'm going to sling it back!
Only difference is, We haven't written a book full of them and are trying to make a quick buck out of it!
britishreparations
I think you're all just upset because people actually took enough stock in what we have to say to publish our book and your brilliant ideas will never get farther than the forums this book has created.
theshale
Somehow, I don't think J K Rowling is going to lose any sleep from the sales figures of your 'book'
britishreparations
Well, it's been out less than 2 weeks and we've already burned through over 10,000 copies in the UK alone.
theshale
2 weeks!? one of your video posts show it was reviewed on the Richard & Judy show on the 6th March, and they said it was available back then.
britishreparations
Book launch was April 22nd/23rd
britishreparations
Here's the deal. I, as an American and you as a Brit are both equally responsible for what's going on in Iraq currently because we're both there if either is even responsible.
Our governments make these decisions regardless of what you or I have to say.
Yet, Americans are quite frequently stereotyped by Brits and the butt of jokes.
We'll guess what... here's a book-sized version of your bullshit served back to you.
theshale
Whao there!
Britain is responsibe for the formaiton of the Iraqi nation from the earlier Messapotamian lands - America is responsible for the installing, arming, training and financial backing of Saddam Hussain and his baathist sunni regime in the Iran/Iraq war on the 70's and 80's as they thought they were backing the lesser of two evils in the face of the Aitollah of Iran.
theshale
As for the current Iraq debacle, that to my country's shame we have signed up for... Blair dragged us in that when 90% of the country was against it - there were million plus marches against it - I know, I was there.
britishreparations
I hate Bush and didn't vote for him.
Does that clear me of the blame in Iraq?
No.
Why should it for Britain?
theshale
So is that what this is really all about?! you don't like People making fun of you? Do you need a hug now?
Sorry to disappoint you, but it's not only the Brits doing it, it's the rest of the world y'know!? It's only because you speak our language that you assume it's only us doing the mocking...I think the truth would shock you.
iamanevilcarrot
i had no idea there was so much racial tension in the UK!
hmmcrunchy
i dont think there really is, there have always been people who are and the recent bombings etc arnt helping, but it isnt as bad as this bloke makes out. he's just trying to make a point about britain disliking foreigners so he can try and make us look like an uncaring bunch of idiots?
britishreparations
No, Britain LOVES foreigners.
In fact, that might be the name of the new video, BRITAIN LOVES FOREIGNERS.
hmmcrunchy
sarcasm there? we are one of the most culturaly diverse countries in the world so dont try and turn that one on us.
britishreparations
True, but that's not saying that everyone there is happy about that fact.
hmmcrunchy
no, but i suppose that is the same in all countries.
britishreparations
So stop denying it
hmmcrunchy
here we go again, noone is denying it!
britishreparations
I meant everyone on here as a whole.
You all seem to bound together
hmmcrunchy
what all the brits
britishreparations
atleast most of the people on these comment sections
hmmcrunchy
well half the people only come here for an argument :)
sailorjerry
Seems that way, doesn't. haha
bullseye2121
How can you say anything about British foreigners, I suppose Americans love the fact that millions of Mexicans get into America... yea right. I have spoken to alot of Americans and a few American friends they all seem to hate the fact Mexicans get into the US. Britain as a hole has one of laid back immigration polices. Whats wrong if some people argue about immigration i suppose it would be the same if the US was being taken over by the Mexicans.
fuckthebrits
bullseye more like bullshit. im sick of you pussy english bitches saying bad shit about america when your all eating you faggot crumpets and piss berr. shut up im glad this book was written
britishreparations
That's a bit harsh.
No need for your "help", FTB.
In fact, you're only making matters worse.
bullseye2121
O wow you have a brain, Today ill think ill go on youtube and insult someone i have never met. I'm not smart enough to prove any facts so ill just say loads of insult's, gives me some attention from which im recieving nothing from home. Well done *Thumbs up*
bullseye2121
Piss beer? you do know that European/British beer is the best in the world. If anything that comment is totally oposite and American beer is the *piss beer*. Crumpets? so whats wrong with them i bet you don't even know what they are, never mind actually eating one. Pussy? where were Americans of the first 2 years of ww2? tell me that. Pussy haha, American's nothing against them, but seriously how do some of you even work out how to turn a pc on.

Fuck off retard, go back to the shit hole you came from..
maxageddon
thats not a very nice thing to say, it would make your queen cry, although she's already crying from your lack of grammar skills
bullseye2121
Look at Vietnam for example you were up against a 3rd world country and you lost. Look at the Falklands we had to travel over 3,000 miles and we won and were totally outnumbered. SO whos the pussy yes thats right America, Who entered late in ww2? America, you can not even mention the world pussy to the British army.

Hey Britishreparations: you reading this shit?!
I rest my case.
britishreparations
Look this guy is def a moron, but you've got em too.
Do a search on "rule britannia" with the tags " fuck america"
Someone sent us that
theshale
I'm already in my own country! this is the Internet you fucking moron! - tell you what, if you aint liking what your reading here why don't you fuck off back to your porch and your banjo Cleatus.
fuckthebrits
you stupit fuck youtubes in american dum ass
theshale
Okay, you're obviously a bit shy in the brain department here.
want to tell me what those three W's in the email address stand for?
maxageddon
would your queen want you to be so mean to our simpleton friend here
theshale
You're making an assumption that I'm a Monachist here max, big mistake.
And hey, I'm just working with the material this wanker is giving me! - frankly this aint no contest at all, like shooting fish in a barrel.
maxageddon
I dont think you queen would like that very much
theshale
I think she'd respect my views, it's nothing personal against her or her family (except Phillip who's a national embarrassment) but I dont think they any social or moral or political resonance in today's Britain, that's all
maxageddon
that saddens your queen
britishreparations
But she's still the head of the Church. So that's SOME social resonance.
theshale
Church of England's head honcho is the Archbishop of Canterbury. the Queen is a figurehead and nothing more - and please dont bring the whole Catholic/Protestant Bullshit into this! there's been more wrongs done in the name of religion than rights...WORLDWIDE, not just Britain.
maxageddon
your queen would agree with that.....religion saddens your queen
theshale
The principles of all religions are essentially correct, from Islam to Judism and Christianity to Sihkism and all others - do good! be good to your fellow man! it's only when man starts taking the word of god and twisting to his own ends that things get screwed along the way.
maxageddon
I concour, except for pentacostlism....that is just wacky, and wackiness is not in your queen's best interest
theshale
uh huh.
and on that bombshell, I'm off.
maxageddon
you queen would be saddened at your hasty departure
britishreparations
The Queen just called me, Shale. She pissed. haha
britishreparations
"She's"
theshale
American humour...erm, world beating stuff as always.
theshale
I think you're bit out of your depth with this Internet stuff aint you!? Why don't you jump in your pickup and go and attend the 'Tri-County pig-fucking contest' in the next state. And if you're going to diss us, at least TRY to spell the words correctly - is OUR language too tough for you?
fuckthebrits
listne here limeyh i speak american take yer fuckin fag landguage back with you to fuckinbg queenland
theshale
Sorry to break it to you cleatus, American isn't a language.
And if what you've just written is an example of it, it just makes you sound like the in-bred illiterate fuckstain I'm guessing you are.
bullseye2121
I am in my own country... and you didn't "kick our ass" we won 15 battles, America won 8.We were also outnumbered, then when the French stuck there noses in it we were totally outnumbered. Fact is without the French, America would of lost. Also you call us a pussy, America has lost over 2 wars in the past 40 years. While Britain hasn't lost one in over a century.
aliebold
it's laid back because england has a big ass moat
bullseye2121
no actually because our government doesn't give a shit. Were also apart of the EU so you can come to this contry as easy as anything if the country your coming from is apart of the EU. We the UK get the most immgrants than any other country in Europe. Were an Island and we still get the most.
aliebold
it's good to see you've got a sense of humor in addition to the highest immigrant influx
hunter260859
Ok so you want reparations from us then i want reparations from the following
Norway
france
russia
spain
U.S
japan
germany
The netherlands
the boers
but just face it, it isn't going to happen.
britishreparations
I suggest that you should start you're own organization then.
maxageddon
Dear Brits,
Racism exists to this day. It permeates the very fabric of society, and denying it is doing nothing more than turning your head to the matter at hand. Accept that there is indeed racist beliefs in your culture as there is in ours. Just accept it, think about it, maybe even admit it. Go to a mirror, look at yourself and say "Oi gubna, it exists"
Rev0UK1
gives a way to biased view, i for one aren't racist, along with a lot of my friends and people i know the younger (well i say younger but not really that young) generation in england tends to be a lot more open minded,
britishreparations
How is it biased?
We interviewed a wide range of people, not a chosen few.
We weren't setting out to find racists. They found us.
Rev0UK1
so you went all over england? its still clearly biased, its not hard to edit out the non-racists
britishreparations
Rev, the only people we'd spoken to that were outwardly non racist weren't white.
Rev0UK1
thats bullshit, out of curiosity what area of england wer eyou in? just london? and what age range did you try to aim the interviews at?
britishreparations
Hey Rev, to answer your question...
Unfortunately, we were primarily centered in London and only had about 3 days to film. We talked to whom ever would talk to us and covered a range of ages / backgrounds.
Rev0UK1
street interviews are pretty useless though, plenty of people just don't have enough time for them, in particular students, a lot of the racists you spoke to seemed to be somewhat lower class less intelligent etc which isn't suprising
britishreparations
I agree.
Unfortunately, there's more "lower class, less intelligent" people in your country than there are well-off educated folk.
Rev0UK1
debateabl, the well off well educated oens were probably working/studying / in a rush hence not having time for your interview :> i for one am a student at university and i don't bother with street interviews
britishreparations
I don't think it is debatable. It's the class system in your country.
Maybe you should start talking to people on the street to avoid your country getting misrepresented!
Rev0UK1
or maybe interviews shoudl be done in a more controlled professional fashion, rather than jumping people on the street who are in the middle of something, heading to somewhere or just generally in a rush with very little/no time to spare
britishreparations
Well how was I expected to do that?
bullseye2121
Could say the same for the US couldn't we.
britishreparations
About what?
bullseye2121
That there all uneducated idiots. You were saying all you seem to find in the Uk, so you as an American can say nothing since the US has an average IQ of 96 the lowest in the world.
Hooareyou
"there" is actually "they're"
No more comments from you on peoples IQ's, ok?
-American
bullseye2121
And i give a shit, it's the internet not an English exam. Also it's a fact so i can say all i want about the average American IQ ok?. It's a free world or is that just if your American?.
Hooareyou
You're free to act like an idiot anywhere you please, evidently. ;)
bullseye2121
evidently oo looking through the dictionary are we while using youtube?. As i said how am i acting an idiot wow i mispelled O no it's the end of the world. Give me a break anyone can spell a word wrongly doesn't make them an idiot. Retard seriously.
britishreparations
Bullseye, your a stupid pussy that doesn't know his head from his ass.
Argentina... yea.. good one. Went and killed a bunch of sheep farmers and then blew up your own ships so that Thatcher stayed in office a few more years.
Not to mention the fact that at the time there was well over 2,000,000 unemployed. Sounds like a distraction if I've ever heard one.
Stop being such a pussy, Bull.
bullseye2121
A distraction? you do know that Argentina invaded land which belongs to the British. The people who live there want Britain to lead them not Argentina, So fuck off and stop insulting those British soliders who fought and died. Im a pussy sure... whatever i ignore you're comments.
britishreparations
Britain paid little attention to the Falklands. Argentina "invaded" land they felt belonged to them.
It was an abuse of power and it's MAIN objective was to make Thatcher's sinking support climb upward again.
bullseye2121
Little attention? you have no idea. For one your an American so you don't know shit about what goes on in this country, as i don't know what goes on in America. We could say the same about Argentina they invaded to try and make the people forget about the poverty problems etc they were having. The Falklands is British and if any other territory of ours is ever invaded were not going to sit there and let them take it.
britishreparations
Yet you let countless men invade you private territory on a daily, pussy.
maxageddon
not a pussy, a RAGING pussy, a raging limp wristed pussy
maxageddon
You sadden your queen with you once again poorly use her english, your queen would think you are a raging pussy who's a little too dense to make a valid arguement
maxageddon
your queen would be happy at your improved grammatical skills
RollerGirl1977
in that one video alone, they interviewed what seems to be a City employee (neon vest) perhaps on a lunch break, two 20 or 30 something nicely dressed women, a gentleman in a business suit (maybe also on a break from work?), an older very intelligent well spoken man and 2 different black men, one of which felt there was racism against him in that country and one who believed that he owed "her Majesty for keeping him". Looks to me like a very good mix of different people were interviewed
J1Goro
England seems sadly confused.
theshale
Thats a massive generalisation about a country on the 'evidence' of a 4 minute video that's been heavily editted.
And 6 peoples opinions, do not a country make.
J1Goro
After viewing videos about Moslems in England I feel the comment warranted.
theshale
Strangely enough I've been watching videos about the average American's feelings towards Muslims and Islam in general - that was terrifying.
However i don't feel the need to make a sweeping generalisation about a nation from it.
britishreparations
Not ignoring the fact that there are some crazy people in this country...
I think the anti-Muslim sect has a much stronger hold in the UK.
theshale
I wish I could post up links in here to just few of the Anti-Muslim videos posted up by Americans on here! Ignorance and Bigotry are a dangerous mix.
britishreparations
Did you go and look at the Brit who sent us a picture of himself burning an American Flag??
theshale
...and he probably did it in direct retaliation at what's been posted on here by you! - think about it.
Anyhoo, I could show a hundred pictures of people burning your flag from the streets of Lebanon to Quebec and the world over - what's your point?
britishreparations
He sent it directly to us. So you might be right.
He's also a confirmed fucking nazi.
theshale
Would this be RuleBritannia1?
britishreparations
would be
theshale
I set myself apart from such comments and gestures made by such a man...however, as twisted as it may be, I can kind of understand where it's coming from.
In your book you state that we were 'Buddies' with Hitler!? that is an Insult to the people of this country who died fighting facism and for a free Europe! Now you understand why such animosity is being directed towards you now?!
britishreparations
Churchill was.
theshale
Utter Rubbish!
They never even met!
It was Churchill as early as 1934 who was warning against the rise of nazism in Germany when the rest of the world wasn't listening.
Where are you getting this drivel from?
britishreparations
England: The Evil Empire is the only book I've ever read.
theshale
You realise how inflamatory allegations like that are!? - and you wonder why people send you images of them burning your flag?!
We dealing with history you have a moral obligation to stick to the facts and not make up wild allegations like that! You're letting your own country down.
britishreparations
What allegation are you referring to, Shale?
theshale
The Allegation printed in this 'Book' of yours that Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill were 'Buddies'
That is a slanderous untruth!
britishreparations
Explain why
theshale
I don't need to explain anything!
You've made this allegation, now you should be able back it up with the evidence that let you print this in the first place.
Because if you can't, you could have a potential slander lawsuit landing on you from the surviving Churchill family.
britishreparations
Look, my explanation is located in a little thing we americans call a book. If you want answers than I suggest you buy the book.
On the other hand you've never explained how it ISN'T true.
theshale
Because I don't have to explain it - I'm not the one using it to sell a book!
If you've printed this, then you must have sources where you got your evidence from to enable you go ahead a print it without fear of slander.
I'd like to see those sources please
britishreparations
Go check out a book at the library then. Or is youtube your only form of enlightenment?
theshale
do you want to stop ducking the question and give me a straight answer please?!
Where did you obtain evidence that Hitler and Churchill were 'Buddies'? You wouldn't have been able to print such a potentially slanderous claim unless you had evidence to the contrary???
I think we'd all like to see this Evidence please.
Bethanne12345
i guess you should add "rude" and "pushy" to that list
britishreparations
Look, Shale...
First off, I don't have to explain anything to you.
Second, I'm limited to space in these comments and I can't post URLs.
Lastly, if I started explaining each section of the book there'd be no point in any of you buying.
britishreparations
I keep hearing that the video has been "edited".
Well of course it's been edited, it's a video.
theshale
lets hear you put the questions to the interviewed next time.
britishreparations
The audio for that is a lot lower, Shale.
Do you really want to hear: "How do you feel about this book?" over and over?
theshale
All we're hearing is a response - but we're left in the dark as to what these people are responding to?!
Question, followed by answer - Stimuli and response.
jakiperu
the religions that demonised lilith & re-wrote exodus 22,18 are the fuel for these souless robots,if women were never good enough,then how can anyone delivered by them be human?,
most importantly if u change the word from witch in exodus 22,18 to read: black,asian,gay,poor,north,south,irish,welsh,scotish,
protestant,catholic,muslim,young,old...then u see how easy it is for those sickos to get away with it

Way to totally take the two chicks comments out of context. Congrats on collaring "white van man" with the hi-visibility vest for all the asshat remarks.

how could they possibly let a man like that gain the position worthy of a day-glo vest? apparently they mean nothing anymore...
promovement
Yeah, why don't you ever let us hear the questions? Obviously some of your other videos are meant to be funny and I can accept that, but this new one seems a little more spiteful. Agree?
britishreparations
Here's a question for you, Pro:
Why don't you do your own video?
theshale
The answer is, Why should we!?
We're not trying to justify rediclous claims for compensation and sell a book off it!
britishreparations
Well, maybe you should!

I HAVE made my own videos and they I hope they do more than spread "bad vibes." Sorry... I'm a bit of a hippie... and proud of it.
britishreparations
Judging by the amount of tree videos on your site I'd be inclined to agree, hippy.
satsun74
I wish i was british
rakmanenuff
there may be some validity to this, but the website is quite vague and simplistic, with very little concrete info. ok i agree with iraq being compensated (not just by britain however), but a versailles refund to the germans? the germans never paid any of it anyway. and no mention of sub-saharan africa? what about french reparations in africa? it's not true that the british invented all bad things.
rakmanenuff
the video is a biased collage painting a false picture. is this video about racism in today's britain or about its history of exploitation? i don't even think the videomaker knows the difference.
britishreparations
It's about Racism in today's Britain and how it's directly related to the Empire's history of exploitation.
rakmanenuff
i don't have a problem with you addressing an issue, but what i see in my day to day interaction with people of all kinds of races and religions here in the uk is different from what's shown in the video. the separatist view presented by that guy is not exactly the norm lol, the joker probably has a few black mates and all.
britishreparations
No one is saying that all Brits are racists, Rak.
britishreparations
You're right, Rak. It's not true that the British invented all bad things.
This book and, subsequently, these videos are a way to open up a part of history not often looked at.

In San Francisco there's about 20 different cultures maybe more and for the most part everyone gets along pretty well. I'm not fooled into thinking there's "equality" on every corner, but mostly the class divides are about money, property, education and job status, not about color, race or sexual orientation.
I felt it was similar in London when I was there, only the money is BIGGER and the poor are treated a little better.

Time after time on the news its Blacks kills black, black gun crime, ect.. is it the news or MOST of the time the blacks killing people? its even on crime watch most of the time it blacks, and crime watch it a fair program over all, and is not them its the Muslims trying to change the law to suit them... and then people come to England cant speck a word of English and don't work. Call me a racists if you will but the fact is that some of us PURE Brits r getting a little bit angry.
britishreparations
Well, maybe it boils down to the face that you PURE Brits are a bunch of racist pussies.
bullseye2121
Yes at that time she was shuting down our coal industries etc but it doesn't mean she entered the Falklands war just to not see what was happening in our own country. The world needs to know that the British arn't going to sit there while one of our territories are being attacked or another country needs our help. Remember we are helping America in Iraq so stop with the petty insults.
bullseye2121
Fuck off you seriously are a waste of time, you can't even get it through that thick skull. "Pure" Brit's whatever that means(no doubt trying to say were all racist) how are we pussy's? id like to see you come over here and say that to a British person see what they do. No doubt kick your ass.
britishreparations
Listen, pussy. I was responding the guy who referred to himself as a "pure brit" and is a racist fuck.

How is it racist? i was just stateing the facts about it, it was even in the SUN news paper about 2-3 weeks ago. Can you stop calling me a pussy, this it not a school play ground.
maxageddon
most of the pussy comments are directed towards bullseye, who is a raging pussy, and generally hasn't stated anything that actually requires a thought process
britishreparations
I wasn't calling you a pussy.
I was calling bullseye a pussy. Because he's a big, steamy mother of a pussy.

There calling me tho, i don't give a shit there no doubt some retards who act tuff over the Internet. Im not stupid enough to pay any attention to MAX who no doubt is some little kid acting all hard while mommy is out.

theheathyfella
What i myself think about this vid is that rascism and slavery are being portrayed as part of the white British psyche which is baseless.
In say Everton in the 1930's there are white people living 15 to a household with people who couldnt afford shoes and open sewers in the streets .
If we put are energies into getting rid of exploitation in the world instead of blaming whoever the world would be a much nicer place.
britishreparations
Agreed, healthy.
The thing is, these people have no idea where racism stems from and, thus, haven't done anything in the way of challenging the elements in society that creates it.
bullseye2121
I don't know how you can talk about the British being racists. I suppose all Americans love Mexicans.. yea right. Sort out your own country before persecuting ours.
britishreparations
You know what, Pussyeye? I CAN fucking talk about racism. One of my best friends was killed by nazi skinheads about 10 years ago simply for being black.
And what country spawned nazi skinheads?
bullseye2121
Germany? so does that mean there all Nazi's? no it doesn't, it doesn't mean you can go around saying all British are racists either.
theshale
Sorry about your friend there but you really need to get your facts straight on this one!!!!!!
The Skinhead (Suedehead) subculture started in the late sixites in Britian, it started because People from the West Indies and Jamaica started to Immigrate here, they brought with them the sounds of early dub Reggae and Jamacian Ska which white kids fell in love with.
theshale
That was the start of the whole '2-Tone' & 'Ska' music scene which both black & white kids were involved with, they formed their own look and style (Rudeboy) which later became which later became the trademark Skinhead look.
theshale
The Whole skinhead thing was about a love of Ska music and nothing more - it was only in the late seventies that the movement got hijacked by groups like the National Front for their own twisted ends - Any true Skinhead/Rudie hates and loathes racism of anykind.
britishreparations
Thanks for the history lesson, Shale. I'm sure it'll be helpful for those who've no clue on how "skinheads" started out as "hard mods" and all that.
My murdered friend was also a skin, so the two of you share something.
My point is that either way you look at it, you're country INVENTED Nazi skins. Yes, I agree it's a shame and that "nazi" and "skinhead" ideally have nothing to do with eachother, but unfortunately that's not the case.
theshale
'Invented' Implies that we actually went off somewhere and purposely created it - which is rediculous.
Like I said, The Skins were what evolved out of the 2-Tone rudeboy culture, which evolved from the suedeheads, which evolved from the Ska and Mod subculture of the sixites, nothing to do with Nazis, Racism or general hate at all!
theshale
What happened was come the late seventies, race hate groups like the National Front were on the rise looking to recruit more into their ranks - they hijacked what was a popular youth culture and used it's image toward their own ends.
To say this sort of thing is indigenous to Britain only, is appalling - Every country in the World has it's own minority of fanatic race-hate idiots, including yours.
britishreparations
I'm well aware.
Difference is, there aren't any racist idiots in the UK that model themselves after anything the US spawned. Not the case here.
theshale
So they copied a 'look' - but I'm guessing the homegrown Race Hate was aready in place before they adopted a 'look'
britishreparations
Well, "the look" is what draws people in.
I can't imagine a bunch of kids getting hyped on following some weirdo with a beard and a southern accent.
theshale
Are you seriously saying that people adopt racist views simply because they like be part of the 'Rudeboy' look? - that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!
I don't see the NRA or the KKK dressing like rudies! What your saying is becuase someone dresses a certain way then they automatically are predesposed to think a certain way too?! Rubbish.
Example: a police uniform stands for law, fairness, protection and order...Go ask Rodney King if he feels thats what it stands for?!
britishreparations
I'm not saying that dressing anyway predisposes anyone to any sort of logic.
My point is that by giving something in an appealing package it helps convert people to their causes.
bullseye2121
I found this review of "England: Evil Empire" and found it interesting.:But the name. Grasse... Grasse... Why did it ring such a bell with me? And why would such a person with such a name take such a dislike to the British who have done nothing more than give him the language with which he speaks and the economic, cultural, political, artistic, strategic and sexual systems within which he operates?
theshale
I speak on this with authority because I am Rudie! and I hate seeing Sweeping Generalisations like this about us when people haven't checked the facts first.
theheathyfella
One country stood alone against the Nazis when Prescot Bush was selling steel to the nazis and the jews and other so called sub humans with IBM numbers on their arms went to the death camps.
Out gunned and out numbered we stood alone.
We stood, will you stand today and actually do something.
maxageddon
yeah, your counrty also closed your borders to the jewish refugees trying to escape the slaughter
bullseye2121
O yea just like America opened it's arms to refugees give me a break. We are a small country we cannot take in MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of refugees. We did take in some tho and alot of them went on fighting with the RAF or with the NAVY. America can not call anyone a pussy all it cares about is it's own country and making a quick buck. Also whats with the pussy comments, can't say anything worth while have to come out with insults. How mature.
maxageddon
totally pussy boy, except your a 20 year old kid talking out of your ass, your very use of capitalization to express my name in disregard shows that I am, in fact getting to you. Either way, England turned its back on my family, while the states opened its arms. You might want to stop being such whiny little pussy sometimes
bullseye2121
O so this is all because you couldn't get into this country, o wow how pathetic. Btw you missed off the full stop, George Bush would be so upset. Also how the fuck do you know im 20 you know shit about me so fuck off.
maxageddon
Hey bull, you can find out age and location through your profile ya dink, and you might not want to jump to conclusions, i don't hate anyone, if anything i think this is hilarious, doesnt change that your a raging 20 yr old pussy
bullseye2121
And how do you know that's my real age? Still wow im 20 that does not prove anything you still know shit about me. Im a pussy sure i am you try going through British basic army trainning and call me a pussy, asswipe.
maxageddon
look pussy boy, i'm really sorry about your raging pussy status in life, but it doesnt change the fact the many jews were forced into the woods, eventually forming the partisan army, that combined with the survivors of the polish underground and the french resistance played more of a part in turning the tides of the war than much of the english effort. Although I must admit, the skills of the RAF dogfighters were legendary
bullseye2121
So the Sacrafice of those 600,000+ British did nothing to turn the war? Hmm ok retard. The British played a vital role, i can name a number of battles were Americans were sent to hold the line and it fell in seconds. The Germans at that time even said they saw them selves as "Professionals against amatures" thats what they said about American troops. No disrespect to those who died but why does that mean you can say those British who died didn't play a big role.
maxageddon
way to miss the point yet again pussyboy, I believe I tipped my hat to the British troops, and I was merely stating that the sabateurs of the partisan army did more for the war efforts than just die, death doesnt mean that you need to instantly respect them, the difference is that these people had nothing but their burning passion to save their families to keep them going
bullseye2121
When did i say they didn't? the French although alot of people insult them held back the German's so alot of British/French troops and refugees could escape. I know well that French, Polish, Czech etc resistence played a part in helping end ww2. Were did i say otherwise?.
maxageddon
you side stepped, i re-aligned it, the only thing i hold against the french is the maginot line, never a good idea to begin with
theheathyfella
A Liverpool ship was caught by the nazis on board was a man who had dual nationality he was british and Japanese.The Germans said to him you can be repatrioted to Japan if you want .
You know what he said fuck off I'm a scouser i'm staying here.
Come to Liverpool man you will be accepted straight away.

My mums family where Romany and individuals pissed blood to get jews and romanys into this country.
If these people had failed I would not be alive today.
My family is half english and Romany,the first thing both sides of my family did was to fight back.
This country helped my family.
Yeh fuck the class system and fuck that bitch Tony Blair.
bullseye2121
True these guys are taking out there ass really. India when became indpendent, it's citisens were allowed to come to this country easy peasy. We let alot of refugees in our country during ww1 and ww2. Alot of them were glad because they wanted to fight back and we needed more troops so we gave them planes, Weapons etc. Also i agree Fuck Tony Blair. I myself on my Grandad's side am Irish, his ancestors came over in the early 1700's.
maxageddon
healthy, the class system is rediculous, but that doesnt really change no matter where you are to certain respects, class is a way to keep populations in line, and you're right many people sacrificed their lives to help others escape, it was just unfortunate that they had to be smuggled in instead of being given amnesty
theheathyfella
Yeh america's sooo perfect
2.5 million homeless a third of the population in poverty.Two nobbled elections.The country hasa average iq of 96 the lowest in the world.The most obese nation in history.The highest national debt of any nation ever.The worst murder rate .the biggest execution rate.
Yes it's all our fault.
bullseye2121
Just ignore them, they don't see this is way so many people see Americans as idiots. Here they are blaming us when they seem to forget to look at there own problems. Look at New Orleans, your meant to be the Richest nation on earth and you didn't help them much, it was on the news a few days ago showing that it's still a wreck.
maxageddon
its been a wreck for a year now pussyboy, you have to remember that i am not representative of anything but myself. Last time i checked, all i'm blaming you for is being a raging pussy with poor grammar and spelling
bullseye2121
Well if it's been a wreck for years then why doesn't your government do something about it? If there so rich then these problems should be sorted easily, or is it that your government simply doesn't give a shit about them.
maxageddon

Then it struck me. Grasse is a descendant of François Joseph Paul, marquis de Grasse Tilly, comte de Grasse. Americans will know him as the French admiral who assisted George Washington during the War of Independence. British readers will know him, of course,
bullseye2121
as the Frenchman who betrayed the bold American colonialists by withdrawing his ships at a time crucial to their struggle so that he could go and loot for his own personal benefit the rich shipping lanes of the West Indies - and was soundly trounced by a much smaller squadron of Royal Naval ships under the command of Admiral Hood at the Battle of the Saints. Beaten like a gong, believe me.

Max: the point Bullseye is making is that Steven Grasse has an alterior motive for this 'book'
We already know it's nothing to do supposedly setting the record straight (How can you set a record straight with lies?) It just looks like what it is: a blatant excuse to try and make a quick buck and get some moral payback for great great great great great grandaddy Grasse...get over it!
maxageddon
I know the point he was making, i just dont' really care. Jusat because someone is a decendant of a turncoat 300 years ago really does not mean a thing. The sheer fact that all of you are getting butthurt by this is entertainment enough, and bullseye, you're still a raging pussy
britishreparations
How is it that you retards condemn the logic used in the book (that britain's current generation is response for the choices of the latter generations) and then uses that same logic themselves to call out the Author?
britishreparations
And Pussyeye, just give up already.
theshale
So you're saying Steven Grasses in no worse than the dastardly Brits he's trying to trash with his book!
I hope he's isn't paying you much, because you'd probably get fired for that slip!
britishreparations
Sure. That's fine.
But you don't agree, so it doesn't really matter.
maxageddon
dense one huh, guess you as big of a pussy as bullshit over there, guess that just goes with the rude boy territory though, the man was just saying that you are using the same logic that you condemn in the book, i guess your just too dense to take some criticism, might happen when you spend most of your days beatin it to sting
theshale
well if you think 'Sting' is Rudie then I'd definately say you're the one in need of some education Max, might pay to dust off your bulletproof vest and go back to school.
maxageddon
actually, the sting reference was due to quadrophenia, and you admitting to being a rude boy at one point, and the mods and the rudes had basically the same style of dress, chalk that one up douche
theshale
Bad choice there Max: ask any Mod on your side of the pond or this, and they'll tell you that Sting's portrail of a mod 'Face' in Quadrophenia was laughable! No self respecting mod would have had hair like that!
But I'll let that slip up of yours go by Max, you weren't to know about the nuances of a British youth subculture - even though you seem to think you're a god given right shoot your mouth off about it.
maxageddon
the fuck do I care about mods, I like the chords, thats about it, mods were laughable anyway, sorry to offend you sweetheart, but if you havent realized, anyone can run their mouth about anything, nothing to do with a god, but morso a matter of freedom of speech, you can definately join bulldick in the ragi
