England Evil Empire: ICBR Influences Livingstone Jackson

[lanceawatt]

LOL! Who is Britain to pay reparations back to? The stupidity of this is mind numbing. Do we pay out money to black people? It was not us and it was not they!

Retarded.

[drzoidburgrocks]

didnt america play a key role in the slave trade, forcing the slaves to pick cotton and other goods? without america the slave trade couldn't have happened, so its not entirely our fault

[Areallykelwguy]

Jesse Jackson is a Dumbfuck Tyrant who thinks he's the the Emperor of Black People

[callum1131]

reading britishreparations responses to people's points, it seems he doesn't actually argue back with any valid points, mostly just tries to insult peoples intelligence when they've actually submitted logical ideas which outsmart his juvenile comments. He seems very left wing in his mindset so I wouldn't be taking him very seriously, he's a bit of a joke lol

[jinofthethunder]

lol its funny, you make us out to be this Dr. Evil nation because we had the master plan. But you agreed and supported this plan. your not the Austin Powers of the world, you were our Number 2. and when we abolished slavery you all could have followed suit but you didn't. No matter how you twist it you were just as bad as us, if not worse seeing as abolishing slavery in your country resulted in war.

[bitterfuse95]

What the fuck is a Leverage Buyout?

[TDogg186]

The British Empire wasn't the first to profit from slavery but it was the first to ban slavery. And if those fucking retard black americans think there getting a penny of my money they can think again. they were never slaves and I was never a slave trader so why should my money go to them in reparations?

[TheBobblebob]

I'm still waiting for the American apology

[Todyo1798]

I think Silvio Berlisconni is due to release a statement apoligising for the Roman conquest of Europe, the Punnic war and the invention of crucifixion. And while were at it, the Viriginia company is long over due with an apolgy to the native americans they displaced by founding Jamestown... whats that... you say the creation of Jamestown eventually led to the American revolution and the creation of the US of A!

Well glaze my balls and call me a hypocrite, your right! ;-)

[jayforrester123]

And I suppose America will be paying reparations too? Seeing as they kept the slave trade going for 100 years after it was abolished in the UK?

[lewisUK9393]

this is god awful

i dont see the italians apologiesing to us for the roman empire.

[suryavajra]

why, you want them to apologize?

[lewisUK9393]

they enslaved the english

[suryavajra]

Well some of the British tribes were more than willing to work with the Roman Empire.

[lewisUK9393]

well african tribes worked with the british they gave us slave we gave them guns

[suryavajra]

so I guess you guys were the "Africa" of the Classical World, so to speak...

[lewisUK9393]

well rome wanted our land

we wanted africa

[suryavajra]

Makes you wonder about ethics of spreading the same suffering that you once endured so long ago during you own history.

I have read what happend to Boudicca and her daughters. Messed up to say the least.

[lewisUK9393]

boudacia died fighting for north anglia, although she was captured and tortured her legacy led to the fall of the roman empire and rise of England.

[suryavajra]

Well the Empire last three hundred more years in Britian did it not??

[suryavajra]

Both her and her daughters were raped weren' t they??

[lewisUK9393]

probably you know what the romans were like

[suryavajra]

The Romans, I've read all about those guys...LOL!

Have you done a lot of reading about the Romans?

[lewisUK9393]

well yeah i'v read a read a bit about the Empire but i wouldn't say im an expert

[suryavajra]

Neither am I really...

But I've read fair bit about it...

[lewisUK9393]

i just dont like this video because the slave trade ended years ago, Britian freed the slave sixty years before america and other european countries but the blame squarely falls on us in these strange times

[suryavajra]

well lewis, you do realize that this vid is a joke, right?? Or do you think that it's serious?

[lewisUK9393]

the bloke who wrote the book seems very serious. it seem like he really hates England

[suryavajra]

well yeah he appeared serious, but everything he said seemed like it was part of a long running joke or lampoon..

[ShahOfBlahII]

Jesse Jackson was slow to apologise for referring to New York as "hymie town".After his belated and ungracious apology did he offer any financial recompense? He could also try apologising for the Vietnam war,started by his own party, the Democrats,or at least allowing the claim made by the Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange

[james12334]

I wonder how many Americans would support what this man has said when they find out that he's one of Britain's most prominent Socialists?

[ww3ishere]

That must be why livingston was immediately sacked as mayor soon after. We can't have ignorant people making important decisions about our capitol.

[ihavekankles]

I have to say, you are a joke. How many has your book sold? 5? It's shit and you know it. I'm not sure where you got your degree from in fact I wouldn't be surprised if you don't have a degree. I'm 16 and I could write a more reliable and more accurate book than this ignorant fuck.

[ihavekankles]

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME! Where's the reparations for the purges against the Native Americans you fuckwits? Acting like Britain was the only one who took part in the slave trade. All the Western European countries took part in this. Also the USA was active in slavery for about 30 years longer. Also who made all the money and kept the slaves? The plantation owners, the decendants of modern Americans - they should pay for the reparations you piece of shit.

[apincle]

Oh dear oh dear oh dear. If Britain was to pay reparations to one of it's former colonies, surely we would be obliged to repay ALL the former colonies - and that amounts to about a third of the planet.

Feel free to ask, but there will never be any reparations. Apart from anything else, we're not in the slightest bit sorry for the excesses of the British Empire.

[StapledNote]

facts?

you know nothing, you american bitch.

you're book fails, and i'm going to go the nearest bookshop that sells this and set fire to the bookshelf its sitting on.

lets make a book about how arrogant americans are and how their president almost fucked up the world with nukes.

[Hamdaman101]

Clearly staged. No official sources given, just random quotes not even atributed to a newspaper, magazine, tv show, or radio broadcast. The picture of Ken is most likely a convenient google images find.

[Comradesnowball]

....pot, kettle black.

serously?

[tech9374]

LOL "Get the facts - Buy the book"

yeh buy a worthless book only good for a good laugh and fillt his scum bags pockets, the book doesnt feature any history its just bull.

[Spacepope3k]

Thats part of the sales strategy, you by it cos you agree with it, or you buy it cos you think it's a crock of horse shit and want to laugh at it. just ignore it, it is just a said little man trying to make money by trolling.

[gerhardblucher]

either a real hitorian must write a book that correctly informs and analyses britains history or britishreperations must stop his campaign. Its like having a go at americans for being muslims on the basis that mr blobby wrote a boo about how all americans followed allah

[mitchverr]

gerhard, that has to be the most awesome explaination of this i have ever read, very good XD

[gerhardblucher]

It may be a good explaination, but even I can not understand what drives omeone to post videos like this on the web, its just making a joke of american integrety and interlectual capacity

[scorpain2006]

i find history strange, that although slavery was an evil act it led to something good i.e. of course abolishment of slavery, equal rights ect.

what I am saying is that sometimes something good can come from something evil (as strange as it sounds). pls say something if you disagree.

[Pheonixfromtheshale]

Hmmm Curious.....

If you research this, it would appear that the Rev Jesse Jackson made no such Statement in response to Ken Livignstone's at all!!!

I've no doubt that at some point he did say that, but it certainly wasn't to Ken's Statement.

Unless of course, Jesse Jackson can see into the future and give responses to Statements that haven't even been made yet!?

[janeleone]

I'm Half English and Half Black, Do I pay reparations to myself? ????

[JacobR248]

...yep

[XenoMorph1337]

The Mayor apollogised for something that happened over a century ago (he wasn't even alive back then and neither were any of us in England today) and Jackson says 'WE WANT MONEY! HANDOUT PLEASE!'.

Nice way to make your race look strong, smart, determined, independant and secure in its belief that it can make a future for itself without the whites!... Oh wait..

[JacobR248]

If I destroyed someone's house and 100 years later after i die and my grandchildren are alive, should they pay the bill...I think so, I mean it doesn't matter how long ago it happened the fact is that that "family" or country has to pay debts for it's past! And a little too racist there aren't you?

[XenoMorph1337]

No.

Why should an individual have to pay for debts accumulated by another individual in the past?

If my father commits murder does that make me a murderer as well? Should I be blamed for his action? Should I then be held RESPONSIBLE for his actions. And then be PUNISHED for his actions?

No, of course not. The logic is flawed. In fact it's downright stupid.

Where was I being racist? Stop crying wolf and grow up.

Still think your right?

Just say and we can continue this in pm

[JacobR248]

It's on!!!

[chufuss]

This is joke..Damn the English are up-tight

[TomtheReaper]

unfortunately he insulted our dead troops a number of times so yeah, we are getting uptight

[chufuss]

Your dead troops? I found out one thing from my experience on youtube,The English have no sense of humour...and please don't complain, as an American I am constantly attacked with sterotypes and insults.Americans love England, thats why we find this funny..it's so absurd

[TomtheReaper]

we jus think that insulting dead soldiers is not funny. this guy does and therefore we get annoyed. and brits are constantly attacked by people like this whining dated steriotypes about us.

[chufuss]

Well, let me apologize for this guy who is making money on your account.Most Americans love the English...we are family.

[TomtheReaper]

and i apologise for any abuse you get from us brits, on the most part we do love america, unfortunately in both britain and america its the idiots like this guy who try to ruin our nation's relationships

[chufuss]

One man can't ruin the relationship, we have too much history together...and America does need poked a little now and then, we become somewhat prideful.God bless and have a great day...

[TomtheReaper]

you too mate. and your right

[JacobR248]

There is no relationship though...you commit crimes and then we take the fall! It's kind of like we are a janitor, but we don't get paid.

[TomtheReaper]

well the fact that about 99% of all americans who have viewed this video and the other videos have totaly rejected it and the remaining 1% are you and the guy who made the video (eg snivveling pussies with no life) speaks otherwise, and due to the fact that i hold the US in high regard i am not going to insult the us, instead i am going to implore you to get a life and stop whining.

[JacobR248]

The US is Brainwashed though.... and that 1% is probably the only people that know how to avoid the effect of propaganda.

[TomtheReaper]

oh your insulting your own country now? you realy are a waste of life

[Hamdaman101]

THANK YOU. Finally, even you admit that.

[Hamdaman101]

Think of it as you nudging us and spilling our tea all over an expensive tapestry.

[Hamdaman101]

Agreed. Long live the alliance.

[skyro24]

Up the British, down the fucking Yanks!

[britishreparations]

The subtlety of your wit is lost on all of us...

[whitewizard1990]

what wit hes showing his contempt for you and what you represent as he should be its people like you that gives america its bad reputation

[Hamdaman101]

The f###### point of these videos is lost on all of us.

[EvilUmpire]

Get the facts, don't buy this book, buy a good encyclopaedia... Encyclopaedia Britannica!

[KingNordy]

Why should we pay reperations to african slaves lol.

Britain enforced it's navy to get rid of slavery whilst others wanted to carry on, if you pricks what to earn some money goto france or spain.

[peppermintjohn666]

we have to make that bullshit apology every year. british slavery was a GOOD thing, do you think african americans are better off in africa? the benifits+infrustructure+welfar­e african americans recive runs into billions so it is them who owe us.

[RattlerBK]

Britishreparations, I have to admit I have taken personally some of the mean/ruthless things some people from the United Kingdom and Oceanic Commonwealths have said about the U.S.A. on YT, but this book is/was a lousy arguement in defense of our country. Are you Grasse himself?-Greetings from St. Louis, MO.

[RattlerBK]

Dja2112: Your a sad person. I'll bet most americans would be ashamed to be from the same country as you."-I've bought and read the book, and am embarrassed by it's contents. There is little to no substantial evidence in it to convince anyone but the gullible.

[rabidwolfdogman]

You didn't buy the book and you know it!!

[exiledDarkWolf]

Has the American government apologised for it's role in the slave-trade? You've stolen most of the developing world's resources- I'm sure you could still afford to pay reparations, if you still weren't

suppressing and exploiting your black and hispanic majority of course.

[thecrow2k]

Money Money Money, must be funny.

[agentk1986]

Jesse Jackson wants the AMERICAN Government to pay for reprarations, not Britian. You just took a quote from jackson form the 90's and used it to fuel your "comedy" (I know who Mr. Grasse really is, I saw him in KC)!

[britishreparations]

Wrong idiot! "US civil rights activist Jesse Jackson has called on Britain to apologise and make reparations for its role in the slave trade." Straight from your state run news service! Don't open your mouth unless you know of what you speak!

[mitchverr]

Lol, Jesse Jackson is a smart man, he wouldnt call for the first country to ban slavery and attacks the others whom didnt follow suite(like your americans ships) to pay for being the liberators. Also, we dont pay for our ancestors, for the same reason we dont put people in prison for what there parents did.

[britishreparations]

You never fail entertain us with your deficient comments. We are also amazed at how much time you spend sitting on YouTube. Clearly you have not investigated this at all!

[mitchverr]

I am acctually doing my coursework atm, which so happens to be history. I have been doing this piece for a couple of months now. So i spend alot of time at my computer writing it, and so when i start to drift i go onto youtube to have a go at you, then i go back on track.

[exiledDarkWolf]

How come every time you lose an argument, you resort to ridiculing the people who made the point?

You have not been able to sustain any factual evidence behind any of your claims. And please respond intelligently.

Peace and prosperity for the New Year,  Blessed Be.

[bulldogEK1]

@britishreparations wow every empire has done wrong dumfuck. Quit whining.

[eddieoxford]

@britishreparations Stephen A Grasse, you pathetic excuse of a historian

Look at Britain today a good ally a strong nation and the closest ally you'll ever have?

Also Red Ken ain't in power now! BOJO Is in!! :)

Dieu et mon driot

Most americans will agree with me that you're way over your head I'd like to see you take on my history lecturer 20 years of study on the British Empire. Britain is an amazing place and Sir Christopher Lee pwned you in the Radio 4 interveiw. Now go take a history course.

[DodgyIdeot]

@britishreparations

Britain abolished the slave trade in 1833 across the empire effective in, then on the seven seas the royal navy policed the trade routes which made the biggest impact on slavery ever.It was 32 more years before US abolishes slavery with the 13th amendment.Then black people would also be treated like shit until the 1950/60's with seperare communites and services for them.The US was one of the most racist countries in the world... U really are shooting yourself in the foot.

[suryavajra]

@DodgyIdeot

Didn't y'all cut the ears off Black folks in Obama's ancestral homeland back in the 1950s and 1960s?? Yeeeeeeah...come back and try again, bud....lol!

Oh and good job in coddling the confederate secret service ie the intelligence service of the slave owning side back in the Civil War. ;)

[wanderers16]

@britishreparations Can I ask you a question? How are you going to distribute the reparations? i.e how are you going to decide wether or not someone is deserving of reparations and how are you going to get the money to the poorest and those in remote areas?

[AgCCannonFodder]

We didn't invent slavery (but we did put a stop to it). We did not go out and catch them ourselves, we bought them off, you guessed it, the natives of Africa, both Blacks and Arabs, but no-one is holding that against them.

[RobHN1]

The British have apologised for slavery. Now why doesn't the American government apologise for the shameful treatment of its black citizens for hundreads of years.

[AgCCannonFodder]

You're simply trying to divert attention away from what your own country is doing, in an attempt to make you feel better "well looky here, I found a book that says there was someone worse than we are now"

Idiot, by todays standards all empires are bad, ours was no worse or better than any other and there have been plenty.

And if you really don't like it here, you know what you can do!

[mitchverr]

acctually our empire was fairer then others, we at least brought prosperaty to where we went, others didnt

[britishreparations]

You're wrong. You're empire was particular horrible and we tasked with cleaning up after you. You should be ashamed. And yes, we don't like it there; that's why we don't go there.

[AgCCannonFodder]

Well most "Proper" historians agree that as far as empires went, it was not that bad. I guess it depends on your point of view to begin with. If you are an anglophobe, we can expect you confuse the greed, incompetence or misjudgement of individuals for some sort of institutional evil, but you are still mistaken.

[mitchverr]

More likely americans dont come here due to it raining nearly ever other day at least, not the empire. Try reading up on other empires before condemming us for our ancestors, also at least we dont market the exterminationnal genocide of a race as a game to kids(cowboys and indians)

[britishreparations]

Why are you all so dense? Yes there have been other terrible empires! However, none of them have had such a far reaching impact as Britain. The global problems we face today are the fault of the British and no one else.

[mitchverr]

You are being dense mate, every empire has had reactions on us all, blame to roman empire for us, we were all just "druids" who lived in peace till they came and set us off to become a great nation, we did more good then bad, so go read about other empires and stop being a biased shithead and try using a thing called an objective eye

[whitewizard1990]

steven grasse,s book is a load of bollocks the british have been blamed for everything for your information the spanish kickstarted concentration camps and the americans created rapid fire wepons and the european slave trade was started and dominated by the Portuguese for over eighty years before britain and they trasported more slaves than britain and it americas fult sadam got to power the iraq war is also there fult not to mention the creation of the worst weapon ever created the atom bomb

[dja2112]

your a sad person i'll bet most americans would be ashamed to be from the same country as you.

[trekfan92]

I have never heard of any average Americans I know expecting England to pay the world that kind of money (well, except on youtube). It's about time England has been criticized for a change? Don't get me wrong, I like England, but it's about time America had a break.

[mitchverr]

We English don't go out and do this though do we, nobody does, only an American(not meaning offense) would go and demand money for what happens hundreds of years ago. We don't blame those who live today for what there ancestors did. Sure we did some bad things, but mostly only to protect our own nation, we didnt start colonialism, we didnt create slavery, we didnt do most the things as badly as others, sure, we made the machinegun, but we used only a few of them compared to germany and russia

[UKmatt89]

Can you imagine the Queen packing her bags, and leaving Buckingham palace, lol it would be so funny, it would just never happen.

[UKmatt89]

Have you heard of some of the ways the Americans propose we should come up with the billions? selling buckingham palace for a start.

[UKmatt89]

You yanks cant argue with the British, we are too intelligent for you, we are far more educated, and just dam right better than you.

[mitchverr]

you do not recieve money from those who did not preform the crime, its like persecuting a person whos mother/father killed somebody, its not done and our home laws protect us and so do the international laws of the times, so this is never going to work

[UKmatt89]

Why are the yanks such fucking idiots? can you imagine England actually paying up? hmmm lol that is a complete joke.

[mitchverr]

eaxctly, gordy brown seems to be not taking any crap from bush and is distencing himself from the other leaders unlike blair, making it known he is different, this might have gotten through under blair, but brown will wipe his arse with the bill

[mitchverr]

This is bullshit, anybody who reads this, for the love of your god(i am aithiest, i am allowed to be so meh) please look the facts up before you believe his dribble about my country, we brought great trade and stability in the later half of the C19th and C20th untill forced to leave then it went to pot there, zimbabwia is a perfect spot, up untill they had overthrouwn the "brit" leading them, they had great wealth, then they cocked it up

[Stellax90]

It doesn't matter. I think this is brilliant. Its about time you limey fucks got a taste of you own medicine. Wishful thinking from a Muslim who believes what he wants:)

[mitchverr]

What the hell, what do you mean your own mediceine, we havent published propaganda books just slandering another country like, this, its not great, he doesnt even use facts, the only fact is theres a place called england, how the fucks it great you tosser, also, go behead a raped women, i have seen you muslim fucks do it all the time

[wolvesclaw]

What the fuck what a load of bullshit!

[darthvigor]

and you guys mean Britain twats

[Pheonixfromtheshale]

Hmmm Curious.....

If you research this, it would appear that the Rev Jesse Jackson made no such Statement in response to Ken Livignstone's at all!!!

I've no doubt that at some point he did say that, but it certainly wasn't to Ken's Statement.

Unless of course, Jesse Jackson can see into the future and give responses to Statements that haven't even been made yet!?

[stubs13]

Let's think about what the Brits did give us, instead of Grasse talking about why America (the worlds only super power) needs more money.

[jhemphill83]

It wouldn't even matter if the US or Britain gave reparations for what happened, black individuals would still be demanding something else. They will never be appeased when it comes to this topic...and of ALL people, Jesse Jackson! Mister let's "blame the NYC officers"

[jhemphill83]

Besides, the majority of them are already getting reparations, it just has another name: welfare.

[DanReborn]

this channel is a bunch of bias bullshit! britishreparations you are A COMPLETE CUNT!!!!!

[DanReborn]

you know its funny, tony blair appologised for our part in the slave trade.. years ago.. but... i dont recall the united states ever saying anything that even resembles a sorry! correct me if i am wrong.

[DanReborn]

bullshit bullshit bullshit
