  • So this is what became of Mr Motivator...

  • You can't make a man out of a monkey

  • Is it ever a black fellas fault? It's not even a black fellas fault in his own continent. It's so fucking old!

  • Using your imagination for a bit. Say Martin Luther King was walking down the street and met a gang of black youths and white youths who copy their culture, listening to rap about popping cap's in people's asses and slapping, their, 'bitches' upside their heads. What would MLK say about what the last 40 years have been for?

    Is that what MLK got shot in the face for and died a tragic horrible death? More gold chains, BMW's and slapping women about?

    Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud?

  • @SteveArpo "listening to rap about popping cap's in people's asses and slapping, their, 'bitches' upside their heads"

    Much as you might like to think (as many mistakenly do) that those aesthetics are what Rap is is about, it is not and the fact that those are the stereotypes you highlight as being something MLK would rightly disapprove of, I'm pretty sure that MLK would have more to comment about the corporate agenda run by the white label companies that promote that agenda.

  • funny it,s because black culture

    soo The brtish empire Were acting Black

    When they LOOTED ALL THOSE COUNTRIES

    and also how is that gonna stop it from happening again

    racial haterd is only gonna make it happen again

    I wish david gets kiddnapped left in coucil estate all the crackhead

    chew him up and spit him out lmao

  • shhhhhhh.... all the rioters were blacks bar maybe 5 white ppl who thought they were black..

  • Where you are correct, is in saying that it is no "black culture" to blame, but i think you miss the point that where you have poverty, you have crime. In Glasgow, you will find that it is mostly white people who are involved in crime in the poorer areas, but in London, you have black people, Asian people, people of mixed racial heritage, and white people who have been influenced by foreign cultures, who are involved in criminality and the one thing they all have in common, is being poor.

  • ....it is an undisputed fact, that if you come from one of these poorer areas of London, you are more likely to have a criminal record or at least be known to the police, than someone who was brought up in a middle class area of London.

    There are too many factors involved as to why that is, to go into on Youtube, but it is the case.

    Cont.....

  • 1) You get good &bad everywhere, not all blacks are criminals &not all criminals are black, but try &name 1 black (African/Carribean) community in the world where the crime rate isn't sky high. 2) If it's all down to poverty, rather than black urban youth culture as Starkey rightly says, why is it that Greece, Portugal &Cyprus are among the poorest countries in W.Europe, yet have the lowest crime rates? Culture is the key issue here: black urban hiphop/grime culture is at the heart of it

  • @PioDinata so in Gambia, crime is extremely high, senegal, crime is high, Namibia, crime is high, Bostwana, crime is high? u are extremely ignorant u idiot. Go to Thailand where ur likes look 4 children 2 hve sexual intercourse with

  • @afroguard crime in those countries is higher than average. It's lower when compared to other African countries like Nigeria, S.Africa, Ghana, etc, but still high! Furthermore you're "paedophilia" claims don't stand either because the age of consent in Africa is so low. In Angola the age of consent is 12! So in the UK that would be recorded as a crime, in Africa it's common practise! Such a small minority in the UK, France, US, etc, yet responsible for more than 1/2 the violent crime! Disgrace!

  • @PioDinata " So in the UK that would be recorded as a crime, in Africa it's common practise!"

    Please enlighten me as to where this is common practice? In a continent 3 times the size of Europe please highlight where exactly this is a wide practice in Africa? I've already listed the ages of consent in most of the countries in Africa.

  • @PioDinata U have no brains. No point in exchanging words with you

  • @afroguard says who. Check ur records very well

  • @afroguard Age of consent figures come from the African Union website. For most of those countries, they still practice French or British common Law. as I've said, the legal age for consent in Angola is 12 for males 15 for females. As for those that marry girls off at 9, this is an illegal practice and happens in rural areas. When you generalise with the word 'Africa' remember that this is a continent with over 50 countries. A practice in 1 place is not universal everywhere.

  • @JayGriffinblaze I agree with u. I cant recollect saying things in the contrary Jay

  • @afroguard If u are going to make statements get ur facts straight. The age of consent in Angola is 12 for males, 15 for females. Africa contains abt 54 plus nation states (the EU has only 27), so ur generalisation across the board doesn't hold up. Botswana -16f/14m, Ghana - 16, Namibia - 16, Nigeria 13-16 (only 13 in the Northern Muslim states), Gambia - 16, kenya, Rwanda,Tanzania & Uganda, Tunisia - 20 - 18, most are btw 16 & 20 apart from 2 which are 14, & 1 which is 12m/15f - Zimbabwe

  • @afroguard now lets contrast with the countries in: Europe -

    Croatia, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, Liechtenstein, Serbia - 14,

    Germany, Portugal, Latvia -14m/16f,

    France, Greece, Greenland, Monaco, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Denmark - 15,

    Spain - 13, Vatican - 12, Cyprus 13m/16f

    So when u look at the REAL facts, Euro countries actually have LOWER ages of consent than most African in fact the world) countries.

    Where does your argument fit in with criminality now?

  • ....

    The result has been a blending of culture from Africa, Asia, Scotland, Ireland, and London its self, but the one thing all these culture have had in common is that the people are poor and in a lot of cases, living in poverty.

    That is why today, in certain areas of London and the South-West, we have kids of all colours, speaking some bastardised form of multi- cultural, London-English.

    Now, of course the way someone speaks isn't responsible for the London riots, but....

    Cont...

  • You might think i am talking crazy talk, but you are both correct and you are both wrong. By that i mean, there is a cross over in what both yourself and David Starkey are saying.

    Its not a "black culture" to blame for these riots. That is where Starkey's statement is ludicrous. What has happened over the past 50 years or so, is that we have had poor people from all over the world, coming to the UK and being housed in area which were already housing poor white people.

    Cont..

  • David Starkey is point on right, it is black culture fault, i don't understand why don't they destroy black culture in England?

  • Everything starkey said was true! why is that so hard to hear? I went to a shitty comp where a patronizing Leftist approach meant black kids were often the ones who failed or were the most disruptive, proned to bullying others who were academic & well behaved. It also meant other wannabe white kids tried to speak their "tongue" to be cool.btw before using the racist card Im not black or white but fed up with this bullshit culture of the "hood" that was glorified by both blacks and whites

  • Rule 1 never take your religion from any race that participated in chattel slavery/on film eating feces or sexing animals/produces pornography lets dogs kiss them in the mouth.Once you know better you do better.no pink man that stole you,can judge you & if god forgives such things fuck god!

  • I think Starkey is motivated by a desire to defame Jamacian culture due to their lack of tolerance for homosexuality. Starkey is a homosexual and so is frightened by jamacian cultures preduice of a group he belongs to.

  • @CFLACk8472 LOL Truth.. In addition to the fact that this country is built on the back of so many minorities which have been rapped by it, The UK would be nowhere if it depended on that reptilian starkey and his racist, simpleton blood line. now due to their own incompetence they want to blame and target one race? Lol laughable. He needs to watch his dim-witted backwards speech before his backdoors really get smashed in, in an undesirable way.

  • spot on mate, ignore the spineless youtube racists.

  • Britain... The glorious country that I was born in, that my grandfathers were born in and my grandfathers, grandfathers, grandfathers were born in... is going to SHIT!! The useless, uneducated and worthless are given everything; girls are paid with taxpayers money to fart out kids and people who arrive here strapped to the side of a lorry are given everything on a plate where as the hard working British born man struggles and pays for it all... Thank God I am moving to Thailand next year...

  • @Hitty1967 lol... if i were you i will my mouth shut. considering the hell that asians raise in this country. If this an attempted to see the approval of whites, it really dont going to work. From what i can tell you are equally hated. So shut up you piece shit.

  • It seems that the targeting of blacks and muslims has become a kind of national theatre in the west. Unlike theater, however, the disturbing trend can, and will turn ugly – in fact to a degree it already has – if the white race doesn’t get a grip on reality. Black Must Not Pay Price for white race Identity Crisis. As for those who insist on blaming blacks for the whites woes, they should really find another pastime; the self-indulgent game is too hazardous and must stop.

  • This issue is simple. It all boils down to either poor parenting, or absent parents. It's all well and good for a White child to choose to listen to rap, however it's a parents job to ensure that whilst that child is at home, they have control over what their child is viewing and listening to. I don't think some of the young children who were looting bought their own tracksuits, hoodies etc. Their parents have a lot to do with the fact that children were even out during those times.

  • Many non black people will alway view the world through the prism of "White Supremacy," which distorts their sense of reality (you see what you want to see).

  • furthermore, Starkey never stated that Black People were the issue, or that ALL black people are one way or another. But, basically, an off-shoot of black culture is the problem. Unfortunately the "Gangsta" glorifying rap music thing has been the most enduring output blacks have been able to dish out in recent history (aside from Obama). As soon as anyone criticizes black culture, everyone puts their "equality" hats on. Well take it off & look at brute truth.

  • @mrlopez2681' I really dont know what black culture. Could you please define black culture to me?

    ''As soon as anyone criticizes black culture, everyone puts their "equality" hats on. Well take it off & look at brute truth'' The above statement here, demonstrate your own prejudice toward blacks. I will say fuck you, but fuck is the wrong use of this expression. A comment like this from am hispanic isnt entirely surprising considering the complex relationship which blacks and hispanic.

  • @ajahamza - I'm not wholly Hispanic (actually I'm French, Italian, & distantly Turkish via my mom, & native American, Portuguese & Mexican via my dad). But anyway, its amazing how much people can judge another person based on a few lines in a youtube comment!! Its totally true. Many of these white kids have adopted their thuggish ways from black pop culture. I watched the whole thing happen to many of my classmates in middle school when "gangsta rap" 1st hit the scene.

  • @mrlopez2681By equating being black with being criminal, David Starkey verbalised the thinking behind the unwritten policies which have led to institutional racism and exclusion of blacks. Who would employ a person he perceives to be a criminal or indeed have any dealing with such a person? The result of such exclusion and lack ofopportunities has been a great level of poverty amongst black people

  • @ajahamza - my views in this matter have nothing to do with any delusion of racial superiority/inferiority, or inherent traits among races concerning behavior, etc., but with truth that's all around us. It's there, like it or not. Ive never read Powell, & I really don't pay much attention to media. Having lived all over the world, I can assure I am not a racist, but a "truthist". In fact, my initial comment was more "white bashing" than anything else, if you choose to look at it so.

  • @mrlopez2681 For someone who claimed to have travelled and experiencing other cultures (blacks/african included), its quite ironic that you have failed to see the fallacy in Mr Starvey's analysis.

  • @ajahamza - I think he just made a gaffe by wording his views in a poor way. But oh well.

  • @mrlopez2681 I would imagine such conditions serves well the likes of David Starkey, yourself and other supporters of Powell’s “Rivers of Blood” speech who are hell bent to ensure the black man never has the whip hand but see no problem with the persistent cracking of the whip on the poor black man in Tottenham.

  • @mrlopez2681 ''simply because of the criminal glorifying black culture off shoot''

    Discussions of racism often focus only myths and stereotypes of people of color while ignoring the counter-myths of whiteness and white privilege. People believe stereotypes because they are pervasive and learned through the media and reaffirmed through selective memory. I think this is mostly subconscious. You see this with internalized racism.

  • @mrlopez2681 by the way dont bother responding,

  • @ajahamza - I just bothered.

  • @mrlopez2681 you must have a very small brain. You are only seeing black people from western lenses. I was in Nigeria when David Starkey made those horrible comments and my father asked what he meant by black culture. My father is obviously black does not know about the existence of rap/hiphop culture. So also a lot of young people in Africa listen to the music, but dont see it as their culture. Its like saying every white man who visits Thailand and Vitetnam is a potential Gary Glitter.

  • @afroguard - did you not read my comment? I am not seeing black people, or any people, through any "lens". I am referring to a particular branch of culture as it exists in the west that just so happens to have been brought by black immigrants & their descendants in the UK. I am referring to a branch of black culture as it exists in the west, which is what is being discussed here, not ALL black culture, or even culture from the African continent.

  • @afroguard truth

  • @mrlopez2681 You are still extremely ignorant. To suggest that ''Gangsta glorifying rap music thing has been the most enduing output blacks have been able to dish out in recent history (aside from Obama) just goes to show there are several educated illiterates in the west.

  • @mrlopez2681 ""Gangsta" glorifying rap music thing has been the most enduring output blacks have been able to dish out in recent history"

    Except the Gangsta trend began in 1987 with NWA when white record executives realised they were gaining more sales from white suburban youth than black ones from the ghettoes these stories were supposed to be about. After that, Hip Hop artists that didn't conform to that aesthetic never got any airplay and still don't so the perception of origin is false.

  • I have to agree with David Starkey. It has everything to do with these dorky white kids trying to act like their "ghetto" like the rappers. It has become fashionable among them to act like their criminals, not because of black people, but simply because of the criminal glorifying black culture off shoot. Yes crime exists among all cultures, but lets drop democratic bullshit for a moment. Its a brute fact.

  • LOOK AT THESE LINKS ON YOUTUBE:

    "Every Bomb You Make" and "The truth about the london riots"

    This is eye opening information.

  • Can you see that this govt does not care about job security of UK citizens? Look at Bombardier Transportation, the govt cannot keep jobs in the UK because they bow down to EU regulations. France or Germany would consider the impact of job losses to their local communities before sending jobs abroad, but the UK is the opposite.

    They remove the hope of survival of peasant workers, but they complain about unrest.

  • This small minded view is typical of a black cultural (w.african) mentality/consciousness. Completely defensive to the truth, deflect & blame whitey and cry racism everytime a white guy is brave enough to speak the truth. The black community really needs to hold a mirror up to itself. If I were your teacher Aurie, I'd give you a booklet of lined paper and make you write 'Accountability' 10.000 times. ;)

  • David duke predicted this in the 80s and now it happened.

  • YOUTUBE VIDEO - JUST UPLOADED - "DAVID STARKEY RESPONSE - UPDATED 20TH AUG! UK RIOTS 2011 - BLAMING BLACK PEOPLE !!

  • David Starkey is spot on. Blacks = gangstas.

  • I am white and proud that black culture played a positive part in the riots,and i am also very aware about jamaican slang. Jamaican people were the first people in this country to set the example of the positive way to strive for your rights.Even a lot of the music from jamaica was about claiming freedom from slavery my friend,and never preaching violence.David Starkey is not a fool,but merely defensive just like yourself. I would love to help d.s. to remove his own rigid defenses.

  • One more thing, if whites and Asians are becoming black doesn't it show the level of parenting the Asian and white parents are offering their kids these days. This is what i call pointing an accusing finger at someone and forgetting you have 4 pointing at you. Grow up kids, there are more important stuff to tackle, I am also guessing its the blacks that are causing the wars and bankruptcy we are having in some parts of Europe.

  • Never thought of that. Food for thought. Thanks @ugbulie

  • I cannot believe in this day and age people can be so stereotyped and call themselves educated. Okay lets agree this is a black culture (forgetting about the Italians who started gangsterism on a global scale), what have you so called educated people done to correct this anomaly in blacks?

  • @Hitty1967 its all about quality of immigrants.

    There are some immigrant groups that are good for the country, like the Indians, Chinese, they tend to have a low crime rate and they contribute into society. I am not saying they are all perfect. You will have a minority of black sheeps.

    There are other immigrant groups, who are problematic.

    The government is to blame for not using simple common sense and logic, when it comes to immigration. They created this mess.

  • All the thing you describe Hip hop, baseball cap and track suits are not Jamaican the are American or black American

  • Ok i am Jamaican, Nuron666 and you are mixed up Jamaican culture with black American culture

  • I agree with David Sharkey and I am asian Indian dude.

    Down where I live the the asian gangs who are mainly Pakistanis and Benaglis all act like blacks. They wear the hoodies, baseball caps, track suits, they even talk like Jamaicans and they listen to Hip hop and nearly all of them have got a criminal record.

    David Sharkey as nailed it. I and most people been thinking this way for years.

  • @Nuron666 OMG this is where I have been going wrong all my life, I didn't know Black people invented hoodies, baseball caps and track suits and Jamaican Patois, I certainly didn't know wearing all these things equated to being a gangster of Asian, jamaican or any persuasion! As an Indian dude as u say u must also be blind or never been to Southall to see Sikh 'gangs' rolling posse deep with the Pakistani/Hindu ones. Take your old world sterotypes back to Kashmere province mate.

  • @JayGriffinblaze yes there are Sikhs, Hindus and Pakistanis who are born in the UK who are envolved in gangs. I am not going to deny that.

    But I would also argue that many of those guys are heavily influenced by black gang culture. They listen to hip hop music, they act and talk like black man.

    The other point I want make is, you will not see many Hindus and SIkhs in the prison system.

    As for the Muslims Pakistani and Bengali mob. They are very much like black dudes and many are in prison

  • @Nuron666 Again you show your ignorance. I went to uni in West London, and the guys there of Soth Asian extraction have their own influences trust me (where do you think Bhangra music comes from). The other thing you seem to be unaware of is Hip Hop music which doesn't advocate gangsterism. Anything you hear which does is Rap which is a completely different genre and is created in the boardroom, not the ghetto.

  • @JayGriffinblaze I think your showing your ignorance. Bhangra comes from the Sikh tradition it is not such a big thing in the Hindu or Muslim community. Bhangra is nothing to do with gang culture.

    The majority of Asians that are involved in criminality, gangs etc.. are those who are BORN and EDUCATED in the UK. That's the reality. They are picking up a lot of bad habits in these so called multicultural schools. They are learning off from young black teenagers.

  • @Nuron666 What does "the Black man act and talk like"? If u can accept that Sikhs, Hindus & Muslims can be different & have different cultures within those different communities, why do u think that is any different for Black people? I know an West African speaks differently to a South African, a west African differently to a West Indian, An east African different to a South American. As for Sikhs in the prison system. I know a couple that are inside for fraud as much as for violent offences

  • @Nuron666 Your selection of Muslims of Pakistani or Bengali extraction says more about existing prejudices from Sth Asia than reality. If you actually knew anything about what the media calls gang culture in UK u would also know that most gangs are made up of mixed ethnicity. When Triads used to come to my school in the 90s to recruit, they didn't care about the ethnicity of the individuals.

    What is this "Black culture" exactly that is being copied? None of you can answer that.

  • @JayGriffinblaze back in the days when I was a kid, I used to go to this multicultural state school in the East End. It was a horrible school. The black kids used to throw their weight around. They were the class room bullies. They used to pick on the Asians. I got a few knocks myself. There was this division. A lot of the Asians that have issues with black and white people have come about because of being picked on, bullied and so on.

    The experience as created these Asian gangs you see today

  • @JayGriffinblaze also during my ordeal in that so called multicultural school, it was quite common for the Asian, White races to copy many of the mannerism of these black teenagers. Words like "WICKED" and "MOTHA FUCKA" etc.etc.. are now commonly used by Asians and Whites.I think the lack of any kind of discipline in schools,the lack of any kind of law and order has helped to create this kind of tribal society. All the various ethnic groups are dividing themselves. Now your seeing these problems

  • Good on David for risking his neck, speaking up against the degenerate globalist agenda, and the brainwashed masses of sheeple. Enoch Powell was right in every sense... Send the buggers back!

  • david starky is a gay zionist ,who likes little boys ..

  • Jordan Blackshaw, 20, of Vale Road, Marston, Northwich, Cheshire and Perry Sutcliffe-Keenan, 22, of Richmond Avenue, Warrington, who were both sentenced to four years behind bars for inciting disorder in the recent English riots.

    Two white guys...?

    If the legal system is not tough, it is fellow Blacks who will say "it is because I am Black". These guys have received the toughest sentences so far.

  • language is a form of communication there is no rite or wrong way 2 do so....real tlk

  • you wanted comments, heres one from me: i can see what starkey is trying to say, but he said it in such a offensive and ignorant manner, that his message does not come across at all. he is equating "black culture" with gangsta rap "culture", but at the same time he is not equating white culture with "chav culture". and what is wrong with speaking patois????

  • Starkey was right but he put it the in the wrong way. As you can see we have now moved from race to culture this in my view is a step forward. Starkey is wrong to just blame the riots on Caribbean gang culture and not point out the US attack on British culture that has been happening for the last 60 years, plus the people that have came to Britain from the Caribbean, this mix has eroded British culture in parts of the country mainly the cities. It now time to fix the eroded parts of Britain.

  • I'm white, and I'm not what Starkey would call a 'black white' and I think he is a complete idiot, I didn't see the whole thing, he really bored me. The part I did see, he was saying that rap glorifies violence and the behaviour people who are rioting are displaying (I also think they are idiots just to be clear). He has obviously been listening to a very different kind of rap to me, someone needs to introduce that idiot to some 2pac, PlanB or something. He is obviously an ignorant fool.

  • We need to stop giving anything ethnic a free ride be it social or financial.Whites are sick of not being able to point out problems when they appear in ethnic communities because there's always some loud-mouthed cultural marxist ready to spew "racist".Black groups in America condemn black gangsta culture.You guys need to own up to it and change it.Its not all of you but its enough to be a pain for everyone else.You all like to generalise when it comes whites,though.Starkey is spot on.Own=tool.

  • David Starkey is a prime example of the adage "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". Well Mr Starkey during the poll tax riots of 1990, of which 99% of the perpetrators were white, would you ascribe that to "black gang culture"? NO. Would you attribute the act of a young white boy chucking a fire extinguisher off a building during the student riots as attributable to gangster rap? NO. Starkey needs to engage his brain before opening his mouth. He's a fucking idiot.

  • The UK needs a 'Martin Luther King Jr' to bring intellectual debate to the uneducated masses. 175,000 years ago every single anatomically correct human was black and without whom none of us would exist. The damage caused in the riots is but a fraction of the violence perpetrated by the army in the east, and a fraction of the economic violence at the hands of the bankers which we will all pay for.

  • Rap music and the glorification of violence,sexism has also been noted by black musicians and leaders...he was not ridiculous but stated a well known fact....

    How many gangs use soul as a musical expression?

    Katharine Birdalsingh also mentioned the influence of MTV base on the youtth but never got slated:

  • @hawcubites Katharine Birdalsingh interviewed on Channel4

    Type in on youtube:

    London Riots and Dysfonctional Families

  • @hawcubites It isn't a fact that rap glorifies these things, rap is just sometimes used or interpreted in the wrong way. A good example of this is 'Plan B - Kidz' Listen to that for the first time and you might think it's disgusting, talking about things such as murder, underage pregnancy and such. But listen to it a second time, but this time really listen to the lyrics, and it is doing the opposite, the same goes for a lot of 2Pac, Eminem and many more rap artists' music.

  • Comment removed

  • Not much of a counter argument presented here, I'm afraid. Aside from bashing Starkey for being "ignorant" and repeatedly exhorting people to "educate" their kids (in what way, isn't clear... presumably to disagree with Starkey's opinions), there's very little in the way of a legitimate case being made.

  • @RedTory59 Well said.

    Always good to see the anti-white brigade up in arms.

  • @RedTory59 His point is very simple really. Not all blacks are the way David Starkey generalises them to be, and that black people should make a point not to fall into the stereotype and teach their children to do the same.

  • @RedTory59 when he says educate your children, he means to bring them up right. By this I believe he means have them not fall into the stereotypes that Starkey had glorified as black culture. Because contrary to Starkey's belief not all black people act in that manner.

  • @RedTory59

    Thats actually false, he presents WHY starky is false and then explains why starky's view is simply the view of an uneducated person. Then tells us to educate our kids.

  • @RedTory59 This guy speaks from the heart but if you want to see a better response to Starkey's comments then watch the video by Nabil Abdul Rashid on the related videos to the right. Nabil proves with facts from the past, present and with general common sense that Starkey is a dimwit, uneducated bafoon with no real validity or basis for his arguments.

  • Comment removed

  • hi aulie, thank you for this response video. a few months ago i made a video about an English media programme, broadcast by the BBC. I was sickened by the disgraceful racist elements, against a mixed race boy, black woman and against muslim women.

    maybe this riot is just what racist England deserved..

  • @BBCRacismWatch Totally agree with your position on this. I can personally tell you now that, racism is 99% responsible for destroying Black & Mixed-race British/English folks lives in all sphere of our society ie Education, Housing, Jobs, Police racial profiling, Hostility on the streets, demonilization etc.

    Go to any Black or Mixed-race community and ask them what plight their life mostly and the cancer called RACISM will be listed as number one.

  • @BBCRacismWatch "maybe this riot is just what racist England deserved"

    MY God that was a stupid thing to say, so an Asian father deserved to lose his son because racism exists in the UK? Did black people deserve to lose their homes? Did the Turkish community deserve to be terrorised in their own neighbourhood?? Get some sense man!

  • @angryafghan my GOD!! look at your brain!! i said - this riot could be what RACIST ENGLAND deserved. and you confused everything beyond belief by thinking i said the turkish person, the asian person and the black person. ARE THEY RACIST ENGLAND???? you're not capable.

  • @BBCRacismWatch I'm not "capable", you're not capable of formulating a sentence in English.

  • Keep the comments coming, It's interesting to see what people have to say, whether you agree or disagree. Whether I agree or disagree with you, I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that's the beauty of an argument.... Take care and stay blessed :-)

    P.S. I can take verbal abuse, it doesn't phase me and never has, sticks and stones. But I'm not involving myself in any issues that those who have commented may have with each other. Be civil and open to hearing opinions.

  • @AurieStyla Mr Starkey said that 'chavs' whether black or white have adopted a corrupted Jamaican patois, I know what he means and I'm sure you do. If you see a white boy or girl speaking in a fake Jamaican accent it is laughable and odd. Hence, the whites have become black...context? Owen Jones' comments about black people bringing" ....er....food.....and....er..­..music....er..." to British life is the most patronising and racially demeaning comment I have heard about an entire race in years.

  • I watched your video intently (x2) waiting for the counter argument to come, but it didn't. All I heard was you paraphrasing what Starkey had said followed by an insult or a slur on his character. To summarise your argument it goes something like this: Starkey's views were wrong because he's an idiot, ignorant, terrible man, racist and a fool. Then you had the gall to say he's uneducated. Man, google logical fallacies and educate yourself first. Seriously.

  • Think your going over board to say ''very very racist opinion'' There is an element of truth to what Starkey said, I didn't think he was smart in the way he expressed it though.

    When is the black community & it's leaders going to bring some accountability to the table? Instead of sweeping the negatives under the carpet and crying racism every time a white man says anything challenging?

    ps/ the guy the wrote the book on Chavs is a 'white man' not a 'white boy'..typical black Derogative term.

    that's the nail hit firmly on the head there. Nobody likes to be criticised, but if the cap fits wear. Guys like AuriStyla would do well to remember that for every finger pointing at others there's three fingers pointing back at him.

  • Stop blaming the system on why black ppl struggle in the UK. I grew up in a single parent family, in a poor area and worked hard in a school full of left wing teachers who paid more attention to ghetto youth (asian, black and white) while I worked quietly in class with less help from the teachers. From youth, alot of these ghetto youth acted as if they deserved better treament than everyone else not to mention the amount of times I got mugged while growing up simply becos I didn't dress like em

  • @seoden well

    well you shouldn't have exposed yourself in a situation on where you can get mugged.

  • @derkhead87 so as a victim its my fault I would get mugged.

    How about, they shouldn't be hanging around to mug people. Simple

  • Don't much care for Starkey, pompous academic. However he was correct, the vast majority of the rioters were negro this is observable fact.

  • @wallpaper72

    But were they all Jamaican? 

  • @derkhead87 how should I know? its likely they were of west Indian descent and spoke in the ridiculous ebonic language Starkey was talking about. I think your trying to use a strawman argument here, its irrelevant whether these negros were Jamaican or not, they were mainly Negro, thats the point.

  • Respond to this video...  well?

  • also, how old are you that you call a man in his mid-twenties " a young white bwoy"?

    almost sounds racist when you say it like that...

  • First time I've watched one of your videos, very much doubt I'll watch another one.

    No offence, do you think you're intelligent or thoughtful enough for your views to be of interest to other people who have their own?

    Anyway, for a more interesting (and less predictable) response, see jamesdelingpole @ the telegraph

  • Wrong he equated PART of a black culture with crime (ie gangster rap etc)

  • What Starkey should of said was British people black and white have adopted trash American ghetto culture. Jamaica is hugely influenced by its neighbor America and their trash culture African culture is REAL black culture not American ghetto trash culture

  • To Corduroy Angel Whether a well educated white man or well educated black man had made the comments I would still have made the comments. Just to let you know I was not impressed with Mr Lammy either.

  • This guys talks a load of crap

  • Not all blacks are from jamica

  • Was black culture the blame for the death of Reece Jones? Is black culture, the blame for 'The Only Way is Essex'? Is black culture the blame for Del Boy's (Only Fools on Horses) mentality or even Mo's (Eastenders)?If not then why is 'black' culture the blame for looting, violence, violent crime, etc? How did it become responsible for so much when there are so few. Did they truly have such an impact on the country? Imagine the impact it would have, if the media showed 'Positive Black Culture'.

  • Comment removed

  • @DaBizness13 These Europeans just want to justify their hopeless theories of EVOLUTION AND GENETIC SUPERIORITY.

    A few years ago, I worked at a company, where at some point I though that I was working with the BNP. They were all like WITCHES HUNGRY FOR AFRICAN BLOOD. These people, supported by their DIRTY PROFESSORS, believe that they are genetically superior and that they are ahead of others in the EVOLUTION PROCESS.

    Be warned! These people have dangerous beliefs against Blacks. Beware!

  • The Elite have dangerous beliefs. Beware!

  • In many parts of the UK there's no diff between black & white in culture now, so to talk of overall black culture is bullshit. There is no one black culture in the UK, there's hundreds of diff groups. Whites haven't become black, they've adopted things that done by some blacks, but also most blacks have adopted things common to whites. You could go to 50 areas in the UK & meets 2 guys who are friends , one black, one white, & you'd be the outsider whatever your skin colour.

  • every child in Britain has the opportunity to be educated,if they come away from school with no education then it is because either 1. they didn't want to be educated or 2. they are stupid, it's that simple

  • lol anyone with half a brain cell and a pair of eyes saw that it wasn't only 'coloured' people looting, it was 'greedy' people. Both, white, black, asian, jewish, christian, muslim, etc. It was a riot where the 'greedy' took advantage of the situation.

    What kills me is that Rap music is not to blame as there is so many various forms. The forms that the media commercialises (the materialistic side) is wrong. But all the actions come down to the individual.

    And they say racism is dead, PAHAHA!

  • A good vid. The problem is a lot of poeple see black culture in the way he has seen it. When a lot of white poeple look at london they see ganges and gun crime and a way of life that looks alien to them. I grow up in East London but moved away in my teens. Now when I see these places its like a diffrent land. You must underdtand the fear this breeds in poeple like me. The problem is fear results in very negative reactions. All the riots did was make many fear & blame black culture more.

  • RAP retards attempting poetry.

    anyone with half a brain can see the riots were mainly a coloured issue, they just cant help themselves any chance to act like animals they snap it up.

  • @hashmonster2004 I was in the middle of the riots and whilst it had a black element i saw an equal white element, maybe you need to stop looking through (not rose tinted glasses) but your racist tinted glasses....

  • Don't expect anything sensible to come from the so called historian - he's an upper class white man who does not understand the different cultural backgrounds. He's only stuck in the Enoch Powell archetypical vision of England.

    But to sit there and make an inflamatory comment that the majority of black people in the UK are Jamaican and the sub culture are speaking Jamaican is so wrong.

  • @TheUniqueBee : I see you only hear what you want to hear... just because this man is so obviously well-educated and white. I imagine you wouldn't even listen if a black man said it, because the tendency these days is to hurl abuse at anyone with whom we disagree, whether or not we are actually processing what they are saying. If you call someone a paedophile and they are not, you could be sued for slander. Sooner or later the same must apply for 'racist'.

  • The unions in Germany are FAR stronger than here in the UK. Germany companies are successful because they have a social contract with the workers and their bosses are far less exploitative and the workers wages and pensions are significantly higher than in the UK. They also plan and execute and REINVEST for the long term in Germany, and that is why they are far more successful than we are in manufacturing, generally speaking.

  • Our so called 'Captains of Industry' and their puppet politicians destroyed manufacturing in our country. They had no long term plans for investment in making things at home. Quick fast profits was the order of the day. British workers were demonised and made powerless.

    The gambling banksters - city slickers were the rage. Germany followed a different path and now is strong. The 'Tescoisation' of this country and a low wage economy has failed.

  • It's all going "tits-up". Un-winnable wars. Un-payable government debt. Un-accountable Banks Un-accountable City of London Un-backed Pound being devalued by printing. Un-accountable police-force. Un-accountable judiciary system Un-accountable Local government Un-intelligent politicians Un-payable tax bills for the taxpayers Un-available jobs for school leavers Un-educated yobs Un-biased BBC and Media?
  • @johnny771977 : Hahaha! Unbiased reporting? That WOULD be a riot! ;o)

  • Go to this title on Youtube:

    "While london was burned by african gangs & footbal hooligans,Camerron was playing... "

    I really had to challenge some guy "megaearplugger". He feels that Europeans are genetically superior to Africans, that Africans were left behind in the "EVULOTION PROCESS"

    These Europeans use this "THEORY OF EVOLUTION and GENETIC SUPERIORITY" to fuel race hate and segregation.

    We need to cure the root of modern racism, which is supported by Elites.

  • Sometimes when you tell the humble truth about your work experience you get turned down. Employers do not always respect honesty from job applicants (honesty could get you killed at work, sometimes), but they love to hear stories of perfection that are almost unnattainable in the real world.

    Some companies even ask for MILITARY SERVICE. They only want to employ ex-service men who say: "YES SIR, YES SIR, THREE BAGS FULL SIR"

  • @cxzpf You have to work hard these days to get a job. Even if you have good education, Employers are more or less only interested in your MOST RECENT WORK EXPERIENCE.

    Employers basically examine job applicants like specimen - from education, previous job titles (classy snobs!), gaps in employment, criminal records, references. It also helps if you list BIG COMPANIES on your CV.

    Remember that you have only 7 seconds to prove yourself in a job interview, if you even get one!

  • mate gansgta black culture is equated to crime and violence. wake up

  • @cxzpf It is very nasty to see what is happening these days. it is bad to be a school drop out, but it is ALSO VERY BAD THAT THIS SOCIETY HAS BEEN SO RIGIDLY STRUCTURED THAT THESE PEOPLE WILL NEVER GET ANOTHER CHANCE.

    People make mistakes, but the "SYSTEM" does not forgive. Poverty exposes people to criminal activity, though it is not the exclusive cause of crime.

    Poor education and a criminal record are both HAZARDS TO EMPLOYMENT.

  • Despite their faults, Europeans are great and glorious peoples. They're self-policing. It was Europeans that ended slavery, the Holocaust, King Leopold's abuses, etc. It is they who can be counted on to help victims of earthquakes, tsunamis, starvation, and it is they who will come to the defense of the oppressed. The big problem with Europeans, is that they keep forcing their religion down everybody's throats.

  • Did you listen to the woman at all? One of the big problems is the "them and us" mindset. There is no them or us... there is only we.

  • Black people are not necessarily educated. The only thing I would say is that this weird gangsta slang has come from black people (albeit from america) but it's clearly come from black people. I don't have any statistics to show you but you know it and I know it.

    Some of my friends in school were copying the black kids in school because they thought walking around with a "swagger" was cool. It's not cool it just looks stupid.

    It came from the black kids, that's my experience - NOT RACISM.

  • making your own video doesn't make you correct either :P

  • David Starkey is not racist, let us becareful not to stigmatize people...he is just ignorant for a historian. in all honesty, i love it when white small minority of white people are racist to me. it gives me a good reason to prove them wrong, it is ashame i cannot say that for all of our black brothers and sisters out there though.
