Empire - Benjamin Zephaniah

[manroyal9]

yah bless.this is the type of music we need in the united states,for real.this is positive music

[TheLiberalKnight]

Slavery to Britain is idiocy to Einstein. I apologize for the fact that we transported millions of slaves across the Atlantic. But that was 250 years ago now. We were the first country to ban slavery. Our naval & diplomatic efforts to destroy slavery during the 19th cenutry was second to none. We have nothing to be ashamed of in modern Britain regarding slavery.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight u could still be ashamed of the bombing of dresden, the imperealist wars up until 1950, teh war in iraq and afghanistan. there is plenty of modern day imperealism to be ashamed of

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden I'd only be ashamed of imperialist wars if Britain was the only country doing it. But no, every single European country engaged in colonialism during the 18th-19th centuries, so I will apologize for absoloutely none of them.

As for Iraq- I'm not going to apologize for Tony Blair's decisions.

Afghanistan- I support that war.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight the fact is imperealism is wrong, and if u think the "all the others were doing it" excuse works, its time to grow up. but then again, u dont really sime that anti imperealistic,. after all, u suport the US and britains right to empose their form of goverent on another cuntry.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden It's called historical context. Should the Aztecs apologize for sacrificing thousands of people? Should the Scandanavians apologize for the raping and pillaging of Vikings? I think not. The fact that this history is more recent means aboloutely nothing. In the 19th cenutry, racism was accepted.

Iraq was a colonial war and I do not support it. However, Afghanistan was ruled by those repulsive fundamentalist creatures, and the citizens are happy to see them go, no doubt.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight as a scandinavian myself, i do agree that there is no need for an apolegy for the vikings, nor should the astec people apolegise for human sacrefice, but i do think the spaniards should apolegise for the genocide of the astec people, and here is why. its still going on. indians in south america are still being discriminated against, just like the british emperi has not ended copletely, uou have simply replaced the king with the headof an corperation ,and there is still wars

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden Then you are a hypocrite. You don't want your own country to apologize, but you want Britain to apologize. What's the difference? There is no difference. Historical context is why no apology should happen. Britain should apologize for slavery, although everyone else should apologize even more than us. And we should apologize for our unskillful decolonization. But imperialism? No. That was a feature of the time. The 19th cenutry was the age of imperialism.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight that is wery ur wrong, the difernence is that british imperealis still exist, british corperations are backed by the british and US army to defend its interests in fores colonies. colonialism is not dead, its still going on, and even by the strictest definitions of the word, it was going on until 1950, whick is a lot less than the vikings and astecs, since the vikings stopped plundering in about 1000 and the astec stopped human sacrifice in 1500

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden No, this is getting ridiculous. You've stopped talking about facts now, and you have moved on to your ridiculous conspiracy theories. What else do you believe in? 2012 end of the world? 9/11 was fake?

It is true that Britain has military bases in her former empire, along with various military rights and trade agreements. But colonialism? You are just a conspiracist.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight i do not get into 9\11 conspiracy and no of course i dont by the 2012 thing, but are u really denaing that military intervenion is used to protect western interests in the third world?

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden God no, of course we are intervening in the affairs of middle eastern countries for our own interests. Lybia was a great example. But that is different from colonialism. All great powers in history have intervened when it serves their interest in foreign lands. It has always been this way in globalized world.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight its true that all great powers in history has done this, but this dus not make it right at all, an it represents the wery esance of imperealism, military force to protect economi, and this is what the royal fimily represent, imperealism, im not that strongly against it in principal. if someone came up with a brandnew royal family i might suport it. but queeen elizabeth is techicaly a war criminal, and she was a part of the empire.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden You have lost all credibility in your argument by calling Queen Elizabeth a war criminal. You have made a fool of yourself and exposed yourself as nothing more than an angry teenage republican boy. Grow the fuck up and learn some history.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight u need to learn some history, the oficial head of the british amry is queen elizabeth. the invasion of iraq was a war crime, the bombing o dresden was a war crime, so why is she not a criminal?

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden Because it was parliament that declared war on Iraq and Afghanistan, not the Queen! The Monarch has the ability to declare war. But this power has not been excercised for hundreds of years. Parliament declared war, the only war criminal is Tony Blair, and he was only following the footsteps of murderous Bush.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight but that is why she offends people, because she is the representative of that oppresive system, the british soldiers murdering in iraq are "the queens finest", and i think that is why benjamin oposes her, because of what she is a symbol of

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden It is not her choice, you illiterate fool! Do you think she wants to be head of the army? It's a constitutional role!

Should His Majesty the King of Denmark face war crimes too? His army sent troops to Afghanistan and Iraq. Or is he an exception, just because you are Danish? You bloody idiot.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight to answer ur question, yes i think the king of denmark should face a court, but im not danish. im norwegian an do think the king of norway should face a court to, if u are the oficial head of the armed forces it dus not matter if u are "just following orders", did u forget nuremburg? there is one worthy king in europe, the king of spain.

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden You're nothing but a historically illiterate teenage boy. When you grow up, you will realise that the constitutional monarchy system is a stable one, and that being a republican communists isn't such a cool thing.

Grow up.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight constetutianal monarcy means that the people pay for a leader they did not elect, a leader who is only the leader because his\her grandfather was a big brutal bully with a big brutal army a cuple of centuries ago. and that the royal family celebrates the crimes of the british empire makes that worse

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden You're such an idiot and you really sound like a fool. Why don't you read some history books, the all time classics, and then you will be a little bit enlightened into what you are talking about?

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight so u think the kings of the medival ages was nice persons? that they had a problem with torture, genocide and murder? i find this hard to belive

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden What are you talking about? When did medieval rulers get raised in the conversation?

Firstly, medieval Kings and Queens were absoloute monarchs instead of constitutional monarchs. Secondly, the world was less civilzed and more barbaric in the middle ages. Thirdly, wars were only with the close neighbours of the warring nation because there was no globalization. Fourthly, colonies rarely existed in the medieval times, and none existed in the early period.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight u said that the curent monarcs are nor here simply because their ancestors were brutal evil people who were better at being big brutal bullies than the rest. queen elizabeth is queen because william invaded britain and in the proces exterminated a good percentige of its population

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden Lol, you're wrong actually. The house of Normandy is no longer in control of the British monarchy, it is the house of Windsor.

[janisakironmaiden]

@TheLiberalKnight ok, point taken, ur better than my at ur own history, althoug id like to see how much norwegian history u know, but u take my point. there is nothing noble in having a great great great grandfather who was a warlord

[TheLiberalKnight]

@janisakironmaiden As much as I like Norway, your history for the last few hundred years has been utterly irrelivant.

You simply do not understand history. You cannot take people out of context of the times they live in. We eat animals at the moment- in 400 years or so, that may be considered barbaric, uncivilized. You cannot accuse someone of racism in the 1800s, because everyone at the time was racist.

[moonsugar1]

With all this talk on the sublect of the song, It annoys me a little bit that the actual artist that did this track isnt mentioned anywhere. Its Bomb the Bass, from the album Clear, which is a bit of a masterpiece.

Check out Brain dead from the same album if you like this track ;)

[timpybear69]

@hunkydave699 Huge LOL ... awww you're a special one ... swearing and threats! Let me guess: you're on a break from McDonald's ... better get back ... those burgers won't flip themselves and I'm guessing you're gonna need that minimum wage with an attitude like yours.

[AMRPK]

The Union Jack - Otherwise known as the Butchers Apron - for those who were opressed under it.

[regvarney]

@AMRPK Were you opressed under it or are you just a cry baby?

[aoterou]

I always thought she sang "vampire"... now I don't like this song anymore

[Blissile]

@aoterou she does sing vampire, check out lyrics on net. Tiz good song.

[tommyplops]

Gwan bredrin. Respect and gratefullness to Benjamin Zephaniah!

Love and respect

[tommyplops]

At least a few can still see,even in this world where too often the blind are leading the blind.

There is still a future for us all.

Love and Thankfulness for your words Benjamin Zephaniah.

GREAT SONG!!

and reading some of the posts was GREAT too!

Bless.

[acorton2]

great song

[ocean3da]

Empires are natural, they all rise and then fall. It is the military that makes the world go round. If you don't believe me, you must search into the past, the previous Commanders of Armies long gone, they are all men, that is one of the most common things.

No regional peace lasts forever.

[EnglanderUK]

Also, seeing as commie lefts are grammar nazi's = intelligent* Just thought I'd get that in before you reply, I've dealt with your kind before.

[roxannarose]

@EnglanderUK Oh geez i almost feel sorry for you. You don't understand anything to do with empathy or responsibility do you. I pity you. It's human nature to repress each other but it doesn't mean that we shouldn't take responsibility for the suffering we have caused. They made it bad for themselves and we made it bad for them.

[EnglanderUK]

@roxannarose Don't feel sorry for me, I don't take any responsibility because it isn't my problem, due to many reasons, 1: I wasn't alive when it took place, 2: The horror of the British Empire is vastly over exaggerated, 3: Many other countries and races were far far FAR more brutal, you read about white gold? Have a read what happened to white people in the islamic slave trade. Did you know it was Britain that banned slavary and had the Royal Navy protecting blacks from being taken and sold?

[roxannarose]

Whoa hold up. You ever been to India? Me thinks no. I have. You've never seen the shanti towns have you? The british empire created many Shanti towns and increased poverty. The British empire ignored and repressed the poor and made the rich richer. The British empire didn't do anything but make britain hold a massive social debt to the world.

Democracy? YOU need a look at the facts. Zimbawe has a corrupt government and elections doesn't it? . we are the ones who need forgiveness.

[EnglanderUK]

India can afford to maintain a space program and maintain a nuclear arsenal so they can blatenly afford to help their people, but they don't because they have a "caste" system which has nothing to do with Britain or the British Empire. Your just a typical brainwashed idiot that only reads what you want to believe whilst disrespecting the others.

And Zimbabwe is corrupt because it has a madman nazi in power, it was the breadbasket of Africa under British rule, your point is?

[roxannarose]

@EnglanderUK Oh so i'm the disrespectful one. SO brainwashed idiot to quote is the hight of respectful. How about you learn manners before you try politics. Oh and while we are getting political, Britain was responsible for the poverty that caused the caste system. Oh and I think grantosjones has a major point.

[EnglanderUK]

Caste system came from Hinduism, it wasn't invented by the British, sure, we probably affected it, but it's roots were firmly there before the British Raj, now tell me, seeing as your so inteligent, India can afford a space program and maintain a nuclear arsenal, why is it our problem that they are hell bent on keeping this so called "British invented" caste system (which isn't British anyway) now they are independent? And have been for many years? That's our fault is it?

[EnglanderUK]

Alright for you to FUCKING live here though isn't it!

[grantosjones]

@EnglanderUK - fuck off with your racist, isolationist, backwards bullshit.

[EnglanderUK]

Ah go away you fucking lefty union striking prick, you ain't worth my keyboard life.

[ocean3da]

The thing is , if it wasn't for Great Britain doing what it has done to where ever it went, many places wouldn't be the same.

So you can say this and that. But it won't change anything.

Benjamin is a republican, I myself am a republican. You don't support a republic just because you're ancestors happened to be enslaved.

He supports a British republic, I would prefer to support an English republic.

Lets see if this ignorant bigot can respect the fact that Britain has three countries!

[kratzenburg]

Why is this moron protesting about something that no longer exists? There are only a few islands now that are british territory, a few small pink dots on the map.

Ridiculous.

[ocean3da]

Benjamin, just may be reflecting a little too much, thats all.

[ocean3da]

One people over another, that is all that has ever mattered.

El vídeo no vale mucho pero menos mal que tenemos la letra.

Mr. Zephaniah is so Charismatic & RIGHT too!

He's a living legend and Hendrix is another legend !

[BeenBroughin]

lavamair...

Would you suggest the Jews simply "GET OVER" the atrocities of the holocost? Just asking. ~Peace

[timpybear69]

That's not what they were suggesting at all. it's a truth universally acknowledged that the holocaust was atrocious, but what has it got to do with this thread?

[rdokoye]

Slavery is heritage; I don't know how one is supposed to get over 400 years of there own history.

The holocaust lasted only a few years, slavery latest for centuries and its left an imprint on all Black People who descended from it.

Get over slavery? Thats impossible.

Maybe you need to get over it, when Black People speak of slavery, their not attacking you personally, so you have no reason to feel that way.

[TheChundar]

@rdokoye Slavery has happened to every culture at one point or another and will continue where ever someone says get over it and is taken to be the voice of reason. The chains are not always physical anymore and the enforcement not always so degrading, but still its other guise of indentured servitude creeps into our homes with the likes of student loans so that we are born into debt.

[gwranda]

@rdokoye

"the holocaust lasted only a few years". And Hiroshima lasted ....how long?

I agree with you about the need to remember our bloody hands over slavery, but surely the horror of a historical event isn't measured by its duration?

[thetheraine]

@gwranda - you try enduring it then and see if duration isn't relevant...it effects the whole psyche of the abused and for it to be generational is just beyond cruel...

[rdokoye]

Slavery was stopped because it was no longer economically viable and there were many conflicts in the Caribbean (that's where Britain sent her slaves)

[ocean3da]

Very true.

The Africans messed about each other.

There is the arrogant side to people like Benjamin.

[Lukaskg1989]

your comment is probably the stupidest thing i have ever read

[ocean3da]

You talking to me?

Why? That isn't the truth, tell me mate what is truth????

[timpybear69]

cruelty and greed are not exclusive to the British - all European countries who had empires were the same

and as for native africans who comment ... don't many in your nation enjoy hacking each other to death with machetes? we're all guilty ... stop pointing fingers at each other

[rdokoye]

I think your referring to African Civil Wars. You know Civil Wars aren't exclusive to Africa. During World War 2, there was a lot of killing, hacking of people to death and cannibalism.

[hunkydave699]

@timpybear69 THIS IS BULLSHIT. as a legal academic, I can tell you that the we are solely responsible for poverty around the world and do it intentionally (Read Costas Douzinas Human Rights and Empire). We cause, sustain and maintain poverty for the benefit of the elite. NOT EVEN US! Thats what people dont understand, the empire builders were always the elites and always hated the common man in their own countries. This is what you are defending, 'hacking each other with machetes' is our fault

[timpybear69]

what part of "we're all guilty" did you have trouble understanding exactly ...

[regvarney]

@hunkydave699 Awwww.Pass the hair shirt.I feel sooooo guilty.By the way, you describe yourself as a "legal academic" and then whinge the world is run by the "elites". Hilarious.

[hunkydave699]

@timpybear69 WE AS IN EURO CENTRICS YOU FUCKING MORON. IF YOU WANT TO DENY IT ILL CRUCIFY YOU BY ARGUMENT HERE

[buakawfan333]

@timpybear69

the slave trade started with black chiefs selling their own black slaves to white people. like u say, everyone is responsible. everyone needs to flip the flop

[DarkShadowSoul1]

Although there are many reasons the British should be ashamed of our past empire (evan I can see that and Im 100% British, don't question this, I have traced my bloodlines back to before the celts, am also very proud of my heritage ) they also proved that they were not going to beat up by idiotic bigger countries. So there.

[Ryanbabes]

Wicked song and Sinead O connor does it well with him

[SiolGhoraidh]

It may have been dubbed a "British" Empire but it was without a doubt an entirely English design. Look at the way the Scots were practically exiled from their homes in their thousands by the English just a few hundred years ago. The Scottish and The Welsh rarely had much say in what went and what didn't, in regard to the British Empire. (Obviously there are some exceptions.)

[LahmariS]

Obviously you're missing the point here....

[roselovintherock]

chill out

hes a very clever man

[howlingjackel]

no hes not, bah, your clearly 16 and doing gcse english

[droppedyursoap]

I was born in zimbabwe and raised in the UK. This empire that neither of us were part of brought nothing but disease and poverty to other nations. The british empire is obsolete now anyway but even when it was relevant it never gave anything to the world it took and never gave anything back. The world owes nothing to the world but a giant fuck you

[fenderstratsquier]

You said india twice.

[jnmdjc957]

love the instrumental

[Hiphoployal]

why the hell is that mk1deconstruct.. taliking? what the hell are u talking about man?

[Jazzgriot]

salam bro, long time no see...I Like the music, and the experimental approach to the vocals... keep progressing bro...Some of us has sold out, others bought into the oppressive vampiric travesty that is already falling apart around us. The Creator knows bst. Peace out. Muhammad/Eugene.

[kingmonkey1001]

There's no such thing as democracy it's an illusion. And the only interest the British had in Africa, Jamaica, India, the middle east etc. was the raping and stealing of it's vast wealth and resources. This view of Britain of a benevolent "friend to the world" is complete bullshit. And it wasn't Britain, it was the elite of Britain, the same people who cause all the real grief in every country. Benjamin Zephaniah I'm pretty sure knows this and this is what he meant.

[mk1deconstruct]

before i got used to hearing these guys saying do you want jihad

they whisper sweet nothings in my ear when im awake

i said it must have been the third time i said

could you say that a little louder

i'm sure we'd all like to hear it

[mk1deconstruct]

i got fully tired of hearing it after a year or two

some sweet looking half moon face tall cool muslim chick said it to me as she stepped off a bus

i wondered did she rehearse that line?

what does she mean

do i want that inner struggle

she looks so coy she might be saying do you want sex

[mk1deconstruct]

what really annoys me is this girl with locks raised his fist in the black power salute just as i was interested in her and awkwardly at the same time in trying to remember who i was looking for there some other woman the same height big hair no locks from iran maybe, couldnt figure out who she was but she was watching me before

[mk1deconstruct]

things happen together

i know that

bad things happen with bad thoughts

they may not seem related but they happen at the same time

but then good people turn up in the same place as bad people and somehow that place is polluted still even though there is a good person there now

[mk1deconstruct]

im always catching up with something that happenned some small thing i couldnt place something i knew but only half knew sometimes thats all youve got time for like when i cycling round a roundabout and car lurched out i had the bike over to 45 degrees so she didnt squash me flat i didnt see her i heard her engine and moved fast probably my ex girlfriend in a bad mood what did i say? she thinks i like the serbs too much? i'm dreaming it wasnt her

[mk1deconstruct]

Harry Truman presented Mikhailovic with a medal postumously the highest honour because Mikhailovic saved so many american airmen from the nazis in Yugoslavia

Now the globalists give kosovo to the albanian mafia made respectable by General Michael Jackson among many others and all over a pipeline and some mines in kosovo, or rather to keep saudis and iran happy or something

only Israel will free the palestinians from the terror

[mk1deconstruct]

Thing is now the british empire no longer exists the dominant force is the calliphate to be....I dont see his imperial majesty haille selassie wanting to join that either.

the league of nations let HIM down

In kosovo the serbs were let down by tony and GMG.

It was a marxist government killed HIM

It was Tito who killed Mikhailovic

[waffiki]

how wonderful to watch him, he is a breath of fresh air.

love this video, thanks for sharing.

this is sinead o'conner? with benji?

[angelsea21]

You can see all the lyrics if you expand "About this Video".

[Burn785]

brilliance.

[dgtlkttn]

The song is about the British Empire, not Planet Earth. She is saying Vampire, and as she has an Irish accent, might sound like vampire Earth, to you.

[TheChundar]

@dgtlkttn True, its Sionead O'Connor, but perhaps she is saying vampire, its a good metaphor for slavery, living off the blood and sweat of others

[naana555]

@dgtlkttn

She is saying that the british empire is actually a vampire that "sucks the life of goodness" from their ex-colonies and still does in a different way...

[hunkydave699]

@dgtlkttn white people have got to face the fact that they had the cruelest, most organised, systemic and global network of domination. IMPERIALISM AND EMPIRE ARE NEVER JUSTIFIABLE. Your education and parents etc have taught you that it is justifiable since we 'civilised the brutes'. There has never been such imperial global power in the hands of any other race than white people. Like I said ITS NOT WHITE MIDDLE CLASS, WHITE OLD, HIGHER CLASS MEN RUN THE WORLD AND HAVE DONE SINCE COLONIAL TIMES

[neytosh]

"GLOBALIZATION" is the new EMPIRE!

We are sleepwalking straight into it.

[muzapstar]

i'm not

Being a soldier who's been to Iraq twice, please don't think that we WANT to go. Now as far as pop goes. Most people in the States depise Bush anyway. Why he got voted in twice... only God knows

Excellent calaboration....I hope tis song is released.I just saw black cab sessions.Brilliant spitting /poetry. Hope you get signed Benjamin.Forgot how clear/hypnotic Sinead's voice was .Thankyou. Good to see someone writing a protest lyric.
