He shouldn't have joined in the first place.

Considering his up-bringing and the environment lived in he had every rightnot to go, but his story very similar to mary seacole who was rejected by british war office, but felt sense of duty for war effort ,Walter wanted to do his bit for country, shame that war office, wasn't prepared to give him his well earned medal, mary had a happy ending she supported by men who served in war & queen who gave her a pension, the only person, wasn't supportive was Florence nightingale(administrator)

@Kalydosos Do you hold a British Passport? Are you a British National? If so, then you have the right to say and think what you like. This is what Walter Tull fought for. To give YOU and EVERYONE else the right to freedom and freedom of speach. Irespective of wether I agree with what you have to say you have that right! I agree with a lot of people here to say that Walter should have recieved his medal but if it wern't for people like Walter you wouldn't have that right today!

Walter was born in Folkestone, Kent. His mother was English and his father was from Barbados the difference in colour obviously didn't bother them. He was also the first black football player to tour South America with Totenham Hotspur. His only complaint was that the waiters didn't speak English.He chose to join up and he had every right to do so, he was after all English!

@legandrydirk Your politics are fucked up totally.Typical retarded nation of Islam or Black panthers bull shit.If the Germans had won the wars.Do you honestly think they would have treated blacks any better?The fact is that they would have got it a lot worse if they were in control.Your saying they should not fight.Just sit back and reap all the rewards of living in this Country.Whilst guys like my Grand Father went and put his life on the line?Who never started the wars also,just like blacks to

[Kalydosos]

@legandrydirk I think you need to read your paragraph again and stop sounding like that colonial officer on he video its nothing to do with a chip as you say. I am saying the man should never have joined the British military I am not sure you'll understand, but what ignorant bigot would.

[legandrydirk]

@Kalydosos You really need to lose that big chip on your shoulder.Do you only think that racism revolves around colour?And that is why your discriminated against?It revolves around class in this nation.You should try being Scottish.We are the only ones,its aloud to discriminate against and get away with it.Even in the Isle of Man.Its still legal to kill a Scot there with a cross bow.Its still on there law books.Do you see us protest it?God save the Queen,talks about crushing us 2 in verse five.

[legandrydirk]

@Kalydosos I never called you a coward or inferior.I am not a fucking nazi.We should not fight wars at all,for that matter.But we do and we share the burden to githere.I know as Scotland loast more men per head,than any other nation in WW1.Do you think that we wanted it?We never wanted it,we wanted to be a Independent nation even then.And John McLean a Glasgow school teacher was put in prison.Cos he said to us Scots,that we should only fight.If we come home to a Independent nation again.WE NEVER

[Kalydosos]

@legandrydirk I don't really care what you think no black person should fight for Europeans its as simple as that! Think we are inferior? Fine!!!! Do your own killing and dying. I am very certain he called allot worse names than coward......

[legandrydirk]

@Kalydosos He was English what was he meant to do?Sit back and be given the yellow flower of cowardice?He had signed for my team to,before the out brake of the war.Just a shame that he was killed.As clearly he was a brave man.Like many of the other fallen heroes.We will never forget them.

[Kalydosos]

@Gonzoidz Another idiot, Negro is Spanish for black that's the language his CEO used so there he black. He should never have joined the so called British Army do your own killing.

[Kalydosos]

@MrShaneVicious Your being ridiculous, I believe no black man should fight and die for the UK or USA you carrying on jailing us and mistreating us more subtely this time. However, do your own imperial killing!!! and even Britain's and America's enemies have noticed how you treat us like shit. China did a report on humane rights violations in the USA against black people, Latinos. UK + USA gunning for China and through Iran send your racist white soldiers to fight them I won't.
