Is there huge diffrence between the uk and usa

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Nice story. Did you have 'Jim Crow' laws? Did you have Lynching Laws? Did you have the Ku Klux Klan actually running the country? Did you have a large African slave population that was actually 'bred' into life-long servitude? Was segregation federally enforced for 200 years?

I'm asking because I do not know and do not feel like being a 'Google Scholar'

Rather ask someone who has lived through it.....like how my parents/grandparents lived through all the things I listed above.​

Its irrelevant if our black american struggle was worse or not they have had hardship as well.

Its not a piss contest of who worse

It isn't a 'piss contest'. The fact of the matter is the title asked about the difference between the UK and the US.

The most apparent one being race relations and the forces that shaped them.

The things that occurred in the US transpired nowhere else. American society is unique.

IMO, Africans, here, didn't fare nearly as badly as Native Americans......but that's a whole different thread topic......​

Had to actually look them up. They are a more 'recent' phenomenon. I've heard about them sporadically, but nothing in-depth.

Might have to actually do some digging to see what they've been up to.

Thanks.​

Im a native dos.

I understand. Black Americans got treated the worst and never compensated.

 

[filial_piety]

There's a world of differences, but in the greater scheme of things they are more like one another than they are to most other countries in Europe.

from my experience and education there, "civil rights" is more so predicated on women's rights and labor rights rather than anything racial.

They're civil rights heroes tend to be white women and/or poor white men

Black British Civil Rights Heroes Part 2 of 3

Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to host a presentation by Black History Walks on 'African British Civil Rights Heroes'.In this free lecture BHW will cover::

African-British Civil Rights Heroes, 1596-2006. (Part 2 of 3)


The bias in schools gives the impression that racism and civil rights was an American issue and totally ignores the struggles Black British people endured. This presentation will provide the names and achievements of those Black people born or resident here that fought against British racism over the last 400 years.


Includes: Thomas Peters, Mary Prince, Ottobah Cuguano, Baron Baker, Olaudah Equiano, Phyllis Wheatley, Dame Jocelyn Barrow, Mavis Best. Also covers issues such as virginity testing at Heathrow, deaths in custody, Saturday schools, ESN classes, and much more

This teaching event is happening tomorrow over here. But no, we never had a civil rights movement.

Plus notice the unwarranted disrespect in the thread out of nowhere, but will then turn around and complain and cry when other groups keep their distance.

Thanks for posting that man. Do you know of any similar lectures later this year?

I think the problem is most people dont know much about black british history. Even some black british people. There are countless works documenting black struggles in America (including hollywood blockbusters), but the works that are about Britian have to be dug out deep from the internet or archives or a library. Point being you'll only really find works documenting black british history if you look for it.

Theres this misconception that black people emigrated here, had all the rights and opportunities in the world, had mansions or something waiting for them, didnt encounter any racism or nothing, but then wasted it all anyway and started committing crime and stuff.

I have no problem with people not knowing much about our history, but atleast do your damn research before commenting on us. People on here have no shame that most of the shyt they say about us is incorrect.

@Booksnrain

What u know bout uk

You know I love you right. So this rant ain't got nothing to do with you.

But when I tell you the thought of going anywhere near a predominantly whiter country than America makes me itch.
HEEEELLLL NAW!

I've legit never been REMOTELY interested in going anywhere near Europe. Again I always have to preface my rants with a disclaimer. I don't hate white people.
But I'm sick of looking at them here. Most of the stories we've been told, books we've read, magazines, beauty images, advertisements...everything has been white culture.
So why the hell would I jump out of a river of whiteness to enter a damn sea of it?!
(Shudders). I'm tired of learning about ugly ass King Henry and his 8 hoes. Don't give a flying fukk about the bytchy ass queen. Nothing I want to see in my tomb raiding fantasy has anything to do with Europe. Don't give two shyts about the Eiffel Tower.
Pyramids are in Africa. Great Zimbabwe ruins in Africa. Great Wall in China. Angkor Watt in Cambodia. Play with the tigers again in Thailand. Serengeti in Africa. Taj Mahal is in India. Colors, spices, vibrancy, life...that's in Asia, Africa, S. America.

Europe has been shoved down my throat my entire life. I've already "been" there. I don't wanna go back if I can help it.
Hell the only reason I would want to go is to a museum to look at artifacts they stole from better people and places than that wack ass shythole.

I have an opportunity to go and present my research on culturally responsive applied behavior analysis in schools to stakeholders in London schools. Could care less. My ass trying to go to a conference in Kenya and applying to be a TED talk fellow to present in Vancouver next year.

Once again, no hate to my pale brethren. But I was classically trained on continental philosophy and anthropology and grew up in an education system that emphasized European history and culture and dedicated 2 pages in that big ass history book on other cultures. Fukk Big Ben. Don't care about the changing of the guards. And fukk that depressing ass weather.

I do got friends in Ireland so I might go there someday, but it's waaaaaaaaaaay down on the bucket list. Not when shyt like Petra

and and all them other places on Ancient Aliens exist.

It's whole ass underwater pyramids off the coast of Japan that me and my friends trying to see.

fukk I look like sweating Stonehenge when shyt like this is chilling in South Africa

Okay end rant.
How u been btw babe!

nikka ask anyone who is not a citizen of the us or uk if they know those names and i bet less than 10% would know them nikkas and a small proportion of that 10% would have watched more than 1 fight by them nikkas.

ask most uk brehs on the street how many naseem fights they have watched most would tell you one, hell most nikkas only fight they watched of a british boxer was the mayweather/hatton fight but the rest of the world watches heavyweight boxing.

[eufemism]

You gotta call an old white woman "Queen" in the UK

based on some of the responses in thread, seems there is also a huge gap in education. individuals with limited reading and comprehension skills will always use insults or violence when they feel under pressure.
