I thank the ancestors for my Caribbean history in Trinidad and Tobago taught in our schools. I knew all this.

Its always interesting that black history is taught in such limited ways around the world.

I am black british and it was never taught at school, I only started learning the last 20 years of our history, What is an eye opener is that many of the statues in uk were slave owners these are a symbol of the Great British Empire & Colonialisim.

The Arab slave trade was way more brutal than the transatlantic slave trade but it’s not spoken about

@@adeOLUWA her claim about chattel slavery being the most brutal is false. Galley slaves a form of slavery practiced by the Barbary pirates is also said to be more brutal than chattel. You’re not bright if you can’t see that point after her claim.

The uk is different to america, first its history is so much longer than america who are still a young country, also it is made up of 4 different countries who have fought each other over the years and then theirs ww1 and ww2 where Britain was badly affected, schools can not cover all of history otherwise kids would never learn any other subject, as the host says it covers prominent black people as well as the windrush generation but we also need to take responsibility and learn our own history if we are interested in it.

Not sure what the Length of time the US has existed compared to the UK has to do with your final point, that its our responsibility and learn our own history. The UK is made up of 4 different countries that exist today but like you said Britain's History is long, once those 4 countries were 50+ kingdoms of multiple different and individual cultures and language groups, just like pre Colombian American History, American history didn't start with the arrival of the Brits or the Spanish, there were over 1000 indigenous nations that made up what today is the USA and the latest anthropological evidence for the arrival of people to the Americas is 23,000 years ago, the oldest man made mega structures in the Americas were built 11,000 and 7000 years ago, eclipsing the Pyramids in Egypt by 7000 and 3000 years respectively.

Yep slavery in the Carribean under the British ended 1834 but it didn’t officially end until 1838 because the former slaves were apprenticed and worked for another 4 years

Yes and the conditions during that period of "apprenticeship" were in many ways akin to those that existed during enslavement.

We learnt this in school, what’s he on about😂

From what I know Swedens part in the transatlantic slavetrade is taught i school. Although it is a knew thing for swedish schools.

We lerned about slavery at school but that was before Margaret Thatcher cut what was learned in history.

What about the Irish slaves?

What is the name of the movie mentioned at 4min 07? I couldn't quite catch what she said.

The book of Negroes

The Windrush generation have been treated appallingly by the UK government over the last 13 years. They came here to help rebuild our economy after second world war. Lots of the children of these people didn’t have official paperwork but were told it’s not a problem recently the Conservative government have Tried to deport these people because of in lack official paperwork .In some cases they have been deported , lost their jobs. The house strips stripped of the rights to benefits healthcare. the government are reluctant to compensate these people like they have done with The fire at Glenfield Towers, where people lost their lives and treated badly because of their background

Interesting video, I am personally more stuck on the Middle East. I mean my German government took a stance without asking their civilians (once again) either and I was like "Wait a minute, I hear one side saying this and the other that and when it comes from the people who are supposed to be protected by our German "Dealing with the past mentality" sth doesn't sit right with me. But, honestly, I think it is humanly impossible to know every lil history of every minority that has been, was, is and will be in existence. I don't even know how healthy it is, that we have now so much access to what's going (wr)on(g) from Alaska to South Africa today, but as long as we're able to do so legally I also have to admit a certain amount of curiosity in me. (I sometimes curse that myself, because let's be honest how often do you have a "Why did I even ask? What did I expect when is it ever 🌻 and 🌈 when humans with money and power were involved at all? 😉 😉

People shouldn't be surprised that blacks has been in the UK during the roman empire. Don't forget that the earth was field with blacks before any other racial groups. Because the first humans to walk the face of this planet earth were blacks, it has always been us from from Alkebulan.
