I GREW UP WITH UB40 BEST REGGAE BAND EVER PLEASE ALI GO BACK TO THEM THEY NEED YOU WE NEED YOU TO CARRY ON WITH SUCH GREAT MUSIC M8 FOR ALL YOUR FANS GO BACK
@yannickobellic Uhhh, that's sorta my point mate. Once they did listen to it, when they had gone looking for either of those other artists versions of it ( or in Jimmy Cliffs case, the original) they would dislike this, IMO. This is an inferior version, again, in my opinion, and I did listen to it.....
i play keyboard and write music, now lets look at ub40 unique style, great timing great sound great singer i am proud to be from birmingham a city of many different cultures salt of the earth thankyou ub40 thankyou
Oh boy, I just visited your channel and I cannot believe I have engaged a complete moron. You believe in UFO's? Ok, get off the internet and go sit in a corner while wearing your conical aluminum foil hat, with the description, "dunce" written across the brow.
Better yet, while wearing your cone hat remove shoes, leave socks, rub feet on carpet and touch the apex of the hat and electrocute yourself. Don't tell me, it can't happen cause aluminum does not conduct electricity, Ever heard of static charge?
Black people were the first people on the planet. Everybody, including White people, come from Black people. White people are a genetic mutation or a genetic deficiency state which is what causes skin to be White. The Caucasian has not been chosen to lead the world. The original template for all human beings was the black man. We are the HEAD. Everybody, including White
@denilson200 Just one quick qustion, If black people were the first people on the planet, then how come you monkeys have white palms and soles of your feet?
people, come from Black people. White people are a genetic mutation or a genetic deficiency state which is what causes skin to be White. The colour of white people is the result of leprosy and genetic inferiority, and that the ancestors of white people are the sexual partners of dogs and jackals. It took 600 years to breed them, part man and part beast. Hence is it any wonder that
@denilson200 It's a mixed band with black and white members, not to mention the fact that they all grew up in a black area of the midlands where they all grew up listening to reggae, so any accusation of them ripping off black music is just tedious nonsense with no substance. If your looking for music to dislike because they rip off Black music take your ill informed views and poorly thought out argument and piss off to an Elvis video...Twat!!!
@maorigooner - It doesn't matter. The lead singer in UB40 is white and that's enough for me. He's the main man. Like Eminen. Jessie J, Elvis he ripping off black music. You don't see the reverse ? Black coldplay ? Black U2 ? Yeah right.
@denilson200 Mate, you clearly have no proper case to argue. Everyone else you mentioned are solo performers, UB40 were a bunch of lads who grew up together and drew straws for who would play which instrument. Your poorly thought out posts are no different to the internet Nazi's that post on this site. It's just the laziest form of Racism and not the argument of someone who genuinely apposes racism. Do you want some salt and vinegar to go with that chip on your shoulder?
@maorigooner - You say I have a chip on my shoulder because you have a chip on your shoulder. Your just projecting on to me what you are. I'm not arguing. It's YOU that's trying to score points with all your silly positions and posture and far too sure in your opinion. I'm declaring, that's what you don't seem to get. Also save your ad hom attacks because that's like saying *That's wrong because your ugly*. UB40 are just ripping off black music, like many others have done. Simple as that.
@denilson200 You want to make this into a race thing? In that case stop using our internet, cars, computers, food, medicine and any of the other luxuries black people did not contribute to as they have never really contributed anything to the well being and continuous progress of the human race, all you do is hinder it's progress with your out dated logic. And as far as ripping off black music???? WTF are you kidding where did black people get their inspiration to play music?? from thin air??
accomplishments of a few and by implication state that it is because they are white. I think part of what underlies the emotion of your argument is the experience of seeing white people in day-to-day life claim credit and get rewarded for something that a black person did or thought of first.
from the nature of science and technology, not from the nature of white intelligence. Also please reveal to me what you have invented that is beneficial to mankind ? YOU, Pearcey. YOU. Not some inventor whose accomplishments you are imputing to a whole group. In fact, tell us what each and every white person has invented as this is one of the special gifts white people possess. Right ? Did you design this plane ? If not, why are you taking credit for it albeit indirectly ? You appropriate the
made the Chinese inventor argument. In 1000 BC you could have made the Egyptian inventor argument. So called western technology is not because white people are so much smarter than everyone else but because progress in science and invention is built on what has gone before. The more science you know the more science you can discover. The more inventions you have at hand, the more new inventions you can come up with. That is why the progress is exponential. It comes
in the fields of science then how come the 99.99999 of whites who have been little more than peasants for the bulk of recorded history don’t represent whiteness ? But the 0.000001% of whites who have done things in science do ? What you think of as European Civilization is really quite limited: composed of the historic, scientific and artistic achievements of only a handful of nations, and even then, involving only a small fraction of the persons of those states. In 1300 you could have
Pearcey - The West is currently on top, so nearly all the latest inventions are going to be Western. That's not surprising. But it says nothing about white ppl having any sort of special gift because if they did, whites would have been on top for thousands of years, not just hundreds. This is the point whites never address. If white people had special gifts, all of them would be inventors which they are not. If your going to focus on the 0.0000000001% of whites that have done something
@denilson200 It was from white people and classical music using instruments, all black people did was just use those instruments to create a different sound, also in regards to reggae music which came from the Caribbean and Jamaica don't forget who put you in that region in the first place you ungrateful cunt perhaps you would prefer to still be in Africa starving and dying of diseases and famine, your a complete jack ass coming on here and starting shit with people who are probably left wing.
@denilson200 ad hom attacks they may be, but when arguing with someone who cant make a single valid point, someone who's post is clearly bollocks and when pulled up on it makes some ridiculous point about solo white performers and black U2, then try's to say 'it doesn't matter because the lead singer is white, is nonsensical. Yes it was your declaration, i'm saying it was a wrong, racist and infantile declaration. If you put clearly racist shit on the net be prepared for people to call you a mug
@maorigooner – U ad hom because u know if u resort 2 mudslinging, it's become a problem of character, not smarts and it's good way de-rail any argument because then it makes it PERSONAL. You have not the argument to back you case up and ur unworthy of being in a debate. If ur discussing something and u think ur opinion is superior then show it, you lose the moral high ground when you return to an immature attitude that u should have grown out of a long time ago.
@denilson200 Moral highground? you ignored the fact that you made a racist statement and I pulled you up on it. You say i'm not fit for debate then completely ignore the points I made. I will call any racist a twat black or white, especially one that doesn't have the guts to admit when they are just being a bit of a tool on the net. I cant believe you can carry on arguing your case, when your case is all based on making a racist statement then trying to hide behind smoke and mirrors. For shame!
@denilson200 White people have been on top as you put it since the start of the human race....And yes the western culture has started the movement of advancing humans but who do you think is the prominent race in the western culture?? and that 0000000000.01% of white people inventing things is a ridiculous comment to make, of course there are not as many white inventors as there have been white human beings, but that number you gave is still a lot more than any black person.
@denilson200 Of course you'll say I'm being racist but then I guess it's ok to be racist as long as it's against a white person??? you lot having been living off that ideal for too long now and it's time to stop, either get in touch with the world or perish in it because your excuses are running out along with our patience. Either contribute to society instead of feeding of it or fuck off!!!!!!
@Pearcey It’s white ppl who shud worry about perishing. Black is the DOMINANT gene. White is recessive. The first rule of war is to know the enemy, and whites ignorance is unparalleled on this planet. All u know r the self-serving fictions uve created 2 comfort urselves as the world continues to progress and change. U don't know urselves, much less other people. But we know you. You've amassed quite a few enemies across this planet, and unlike you...we know you.
is why they have an obsession with tanning, with tattoos anything to get some colour into them because they know they are inferior to the black men. White men give there women chocolate with nuts on mothers day, so they can feel sexual equal to the black man. You notice the way so many white males are homos ? It’s because through anal intercourse, the sick self-debasing white male may fantasize that he can produce a product of colour, albeit that the product of
whites lack true emotions in their creation ? Is it any wonder that white people are never peaceful ? Whites were only created to fight other invading races, to protect the God race of the black man. The black man has melanin, the white man does not. Melanin is responsible for the existence of civilization, philosophy, science, religion, truth, justice, and righteousness. Whites have no melanin, this
@denilson200 Mate seriously? are you just trying to wind me up? First off, blacks are constantly fighting with each other, african's always have and still are fighting no where else on earth has more fighting and wars than africa. and Melanin is found in all humans you moron lol it's not just a pigment of your skin, it's also found in hair and your eye and who cares anyway? just because you have that your a better off for having it?? You are certainly very ridiculous. I certainly hope you do..
the same way whites did. If there was an in-depth analysis of animal chromosomes compared with whites that there would be a lot more similarities than differences compared with non-white races. It also makes me wonder why all these vampire movies have come out recently along with werewolf movies ? That means the werewolves, the enemies of the
they say it’s impossible because the chromosomes don’t match across. Dogs and whites were genetically compatible at some point. We know for a fact that the European elite practice inbreeding so we know that definitely has a negative impact on their psyches. Look at how white people have behave toward the rest of mankind ? Africans did not evolve
much. The similarities that some whites have with dogs, is more than coincidence. White people evolved from Neanderthals (which has bee genetically proven) and dogs or wolves who also have the gene for Morton’s toe. During the evolution of whites it was possible for cross-breeding of species because of how their DNA mutated. Of course today
more likely to be sexual predators, child molesters, rapists, stalkers and mass murderers. Even though white men worldwide, could not manage theirs books and got the world, uk included into a global recession causing loss of trillions of pounds. The more I think about the savage nature of white people, the more I read about the evolution of the white race and the dogs, that white love so
The vast majority of terrorists in the world are white people. The most destructive wars in history were waged by white people, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of millions. The most destructive weapons are made by whites. Child and Bestiality pornography is manufactured exclusively by white people. They are also slowly but surely destroying the environment. White people are
@denilson200 Slowly destroying the environment??? If the environment is to be saved then were the ones to do it, in fact volcanoes are the biggest pollutant to the environment along with mother nature and if mother nature in the form of an asteroid were to come towards earth it would be white initiative to make sure it does not happen and where on earth are you getting that there are more white terrorists than anyone else??? Are you reading this out of the book "White people a guide to hate"???
as David Cameroon, Bill Gates, Alan Sugar and the rest. Is that what you think ? Your think you’re on their team ? Man I said you are fucked up, but that’s an insult to fucked up people
war problems ? If an asteroid did hit the earth. I say LET IT. The earth is in such a pitiful state that it can’t do a worse job that’s it’s already in. You name the problem, the disease, the war, the corruption and I’ll bet you I can put a white face on it in a flash. Besides blk ppl wud cope. White wouldn't because white ppl don’t have problems. You have WHITE PEOPLE PROBLEMS. Cutting the grass is the biggest problem you have had to face. U talk about *WE*. Ur not on the same team.
Not from a book. I just like to 1 on 1 and commit intellectual murder on jumped up fools like yourself. You say I hate white people because you hate black people and you are just projecting on to me, what you are. Unlike you I’m not over-emotional cry baby. I think straight. White people don’t even like white people. Why don’t you go over to Norway where that guy killed 92 of your fellow white people ? Why don’t you go over to Serbia or the Russia where they seem to have having
@denilson200 Fucking do it then dick head and that's rich your talking a lot of bollocks mate, what about the blacks in africa butchering women and children in what is the most corrupt and barbaric continent on earth and backwards, you claim to be the oldest civilisation on the planet yet your race is thick as shit can't even figure out how to get water out the ground, biggest mistake white people made was giving that continent back to the black people look what you have done to it.
@pearcey03 - Stop calling me *mate*. I hate white people. You hate black people. So quit the *mate* language. It's a strange world we live when the most corupt and barbaric people on earth have the nerve to sit there and accuse someone else of being corrupt and barbaric. The black man is father of Maths. Medicine, Language. The black man gave the world government, law, police force, hospitals. Indeed the black man made you. This is your father speaking hear white man.
@denilson200 I'll call you what I want you are an inferior race ha ha ha ha I don't hate black people, what ever gave you that impression? You didn't make any of those things you sick cunt, I suppose there is that theory though if you let a thousand monkeys write for a thousand years they could possibly write the works of shakespeare. That's all you lot are really some a barely smarter version of a monkey, but i'm sure the monkeys won't like me saying that ha ha ha....BLACK POWER!!!!!!!!!!
@pearcey03 - You don't hate black people ? Get out my face. I don't deal with half hearted, pussy 50% racists. I only deal with the 100%. Well I live in Zimbabwe and I hate white people with every fibre of my being. Indeed we had to kill many to get them oUt of our land. BLACK POWER !!!
@denilson200 Your an idiot and once the white ALL POWERUL EUROPEANS have finished invading yet another insignificant country i.e Libya , were going to move on and destroy the rest of the leeching black people on that shit continent get rid of all of you kill all the wildlife and everything that african's love about the country and build a city for the white people If some of you are lucky we might use you as slaves to help build these cities you just never know!!!
@pearcey03 I am white and I am offended by your remarks! Such malice, it is unfathomable your utter hate for African people. I cannot believe what I'm hearing!!
@compxci Shut up you fucking dick head... I was just going back at what he said, I don't hate african people you fucking moron, I'll tell you what I do hate, I hate people like you people like you are the reason these fuckers get away with acting the way they do, try reading all the comments between me and the whitey hater have a look properly before you comment fucking liberal cunt!!!!!
@pearcey03 I'm not a liberal asshat, "I am a red blooded American Conservative and a Republican" No, I don't hate people of color, I just talk like I do... I have and if you had half a brain, you'd not respond to this person, oh wait, I meant if you used your "star trekin" superior intelligence, you could see that you are playing right into it. All he/she has to do is say one derogatory remark, and you are all over it and perpetuate it two paragraphs to his one, on the average.
@denilson200 Get on with your life and try and help people including yourself. Life is too short and hard for some people don't make it worse. Off your butt and help make a difference never mind the hatred and differences. Life is as we experience and perceive it. Only what we make it.
@compxci Actually don't write back to my comment, I just read your profile I don't want you speaking to me, you sound like a christian and your American neither of which I really care for and your not white your a mongrel, I am white because I am European your just a knock off copy so Don't bother replying to me because your fucking idiot and for some reason a black man is allowed to say all the things he says but you decide to complain at what I am saying that is what is wrong with this world.
@pearcey03 To bad dork, I'll respond to your hateful remarks anyway. Yeah, I maybe I am a "mongrel" as you said, but I do remember in the history books that our "mongrel" countrymen kicked the crap outta yo' countrymen some 200+ years ago, sent you white trash packin', back to your POS lands. <- How's that, did I sound like you, pretty convincing huh? Pretty pathetic more like it. Do yourself a favor, go drown in that 'river' someplace!
@denilson200 And I bet your not even from zimbabwe I bet your some stupid yank who thinks he is from Africa but yet talks like a jack ass american, I can tell by the way you speak, you have a white education in you, we know that all people from africa walk around with leaves on their private parts making click click sounds with spears fucking stupid race of people go back into the trees with your cousins the monkey's and gorillas.
hundreds of thousands of hybrids that have evolved over time in nature. Whites are a be a hybrid of Neanderthals and some other wild animal that continues to express itself genetically toward the detriment of mankind.
vampires, are actually white people. What is a werewolf ? It’s part human and part wolf. A wolf is just a non-domesticated dog in the wild. Canines means dogs and whites used to live in canaan which is now Israel and part of Lebanon, that’s why Israel wants all of that land for itself. Caucasian means originating near the Caucasus Mountains. There are
I love this song!! It reminds me of a nice, summer childhood day! Even though I'm 16 and I never got to see UB40 in concert w/ Ali Campbell, this is one of my all-time favorite bands!
Prieteni..., ascultati-ma..., originalul e ,,pistol cu apa", dar cand aceasta piesa este cantata de Ali Campbell,... aceasta devine un imn..., o oda..., un cantec Dumnezeesc...
i wasnt born when this song came out (i was born in '88) but i grew up listening to UB40! I would love to meet the one day. This is my favourite song i sing it everywhere-in the shower, kitchen, on my way to uni, on my way to church....ITS A CLASSIC!
If yall like UB40 You guys should all check out an upcoming artist goes by the name Josh "Wawa" White. He almost has the same unique voice that Ali Campbell has. He is an up and coming artist< check him out just type in Josh Wawa White!
I feel like im running on a gigantic bridge into the light but I look down into the massive flowing river of the water of life and feel sad for the ones I have lost along the way but I gotta keep running....................

Black people were the first people on the planet. Everybody, including White people, come from Black people. White people are a genetic mutation or a genetic deficiency state which is what causes skin to be White. The Caucasian has not been chosen to lead the world. The original template for all human beings was the black man. We are the HEAD. Everybody, including White

The colour of white people is the result of leprosy and genetic inferiority, and that the ancestors of white people are the sexual partners of dogs and jackals. It took 600 years to breed them, part man and part beast. Hence is it any wonder that

As black man - I don't like UB40, just another case of a white people ripping of black music.
denilson200 6 months ago
@denilson200 There are black people in UB40 - they're not 'whites only'. Plus, it's not "ripping off" black music - it's appreciation of black music.
mycal64 6 months ago
@denilson200 It's a mixed band with black and white members, not to mention the fact that they all grew up in a black area of the midlands where they all grew up listening to reggae, so any accusation of them ripping off black music is just tedious nonsense with no substance. If your looking for music to dislike because they rip off Black music take your ill informed views and poorly thought out argument and piss off to an Elvis video...Twat!!!

@maorigooner - It doesn't matter. The lead singer in UB40 is white and that's enough for me. He's the main man. Like Eminen. Jessie J, Elvis he ripping off black music. You don't see the reverse ? Black coldplay ? Black U2 ? Yeah right.

@denilson200 Mate, you clearly have no proper case to argue. Everyone else you mentioned are solo performers, UB40 were a bunch of lads who grew up together and drew straws for who would play which instrument. Your poorly thought out posts are no different to the internet Nazi's that post on this site. It's just the laziest form of Racism and not the argument of someone who genuinely apposes racism.

And as far as ripping off black music???? WTF are you kidding where did black people get their inspiration to play music?? from thin air??
pearcey03 6 months ago
accomplishments of a few and by implication state that it is because they are white. I think part of what underlies the emotion of your argument is the experience of seeing white people in day-to-day life claim credit and get rewarded for something that a black person did or thought of first.

Pearcey - The West is currently on top, so nearly all the latest inventions are going to be Western. That's not surprising. But it says nothing about white ppl having any sort of special gift because if they did, whites would have been on top for thousands of years, not just hundreds. This is the point whites never address. If white people had special gifts, all of them would be inventors which they are not.

they say it’s impossible because the chromosomes don’t match across. Dogs and whites were genetically compatible at some point. We know for a fact that the European elite practice inbreeding so we know that definitely has a negative impact on their psyches. Look at how white people have behave toward the rest of mankind ? Africans did not evolve
denilson200 6 months ago
much. The similarities that some whites have with dogs, is more than coincidence. White people evolved from Neanderthals (which has bee genetically proven) and dogs or wolves who also have the gene for Morton’s toe. During the evolution of whites it was possible for cross-breeding of species because of how their DNA mutated. Of course today
