What are Black British communities doing about this

*and no I am not wanting to start a diaspora war because I am Black American...I am genuinely asking*

I only hear and see limited news on protests over the years...and what I do get about the Black British comes from the few celebs who have made it here in America as actors/actresses/singers...they all tell the story they can't be accepted there and there is no work for them

What are they doing to combat this negative imagery?
Are they fighting and pushing for laws to change?
Do you notice any change?
What about other non White British groups?


Weren't British people complaining about a British commercial that featured a black couple? British whites are so predictable.

Sainsbury’s defended the black actors and for showing a black family as did the other major chain supermarkets. They called out the racist trolls.

Most of our black politicians bar 2 or 3 BW politicians kept completely silent.

Other minorities truly don’t give a fµck.

the racists tried to boycott Sainsbury’s but the company actually made a profit and they didn’t lose out on the racist from boycotting them. They told them to kick rocks and that they aren’t welcome to begin with.

Prominent black women in media and tv came and voiced their disgust openly, opened dialogue and made white Britons embarrassed and trying to distance themselves from the “online trolls” refusing to believe “any sane white person” would have an issue with seeing a depiction of a black family on and advert.

This whole saga lasted about 2 days before it got diluted again with all the Covid and Brexit talks

Hmm good question.

Unfortunately there is a chokehold system in the U.K.

That no matter how much you try if you take the commercial route , if you are talented and indeed wanting to dominate the industry, they just won't let you.

I can't compare to America but there are a ton of black owned labels, radio stations and entertainment spaces to expose your talent.

U.K not so much. Having worked in the music industry myself before I can tell you this, they would rather an artist from America than a U.K Black artist.

White people are draining. They should be the happiest, most unbothered people on the planet but no

The epitome of greed..they SHOULD be happy but they can't understand how everyone else who should be sad and upset is actually enjoying themselves despite the hardships that may come along with ws..it bothers them so badly!

I want to do a black women hiking group in my hometown during the summer. It’d be nice to be able to talk and hike with other black college aged women like myself. Y’all pray for me that I’ll be able to do it.
That's great!

I am going hiking with a blk group next Saturday.

Ooooh! I wonder if they have a black girls hike group here in Houston. I would love to go hiking with a group.

Seems like it triggered 2 things for them; black woman doing something positive and it being walking in the countryside which these white inbred bastards think belongs only to them.


They prefer to see black people in a negative light e.g crime, getting arrested, etc

They can't stand successful black people and positive black stories on tv

a number of complaints from viewers.

This is being played up like the switchboard caught on fire when it was probably only five or ten people. Pointless sensationalism resulting in threads like this.

They badly want us to integrate and blend when they're the ones excluding us and treating us poorly.

In the UK they don't like seeing black collectives or fully black families.
It triggers them to put it simply. Black people being as one is something they aim to stop and will do at all costs

However, I do feel that black groups shouldn't bother going on TV.
The last thing you want is undue attention.

This is it. You have all the privilege to do and be anything and they wanna be mad. It’s baffling.

The negative responses show why there is a need for such a group. As a woman, especially as a woman of colour, I would not feel safe hiking by myself.
Exactly. This is the narrative we should push instead of the "strong black woman". Black womem are not safe in America due to past and present racist ideologies and need to be protected. Unfortunately, we need protection from some black men as well.

Wasn't there are lawsuit or a group of White farmers just last year or in the past 5 years that sued the African natives/government for trying to take "their" farmland

And claimed they had every right to stay there

I swear Europeans/Chinese/Indians/Arabs really treat Black Africans in their own land/homes like pure trash

There was a story that went viral of a Chinese owned restaurant I believe it was in Nigeria and they actually banned Black Nigerians from eating in their restaurant

The moaners are bitter and jealous.

This group sounds like a great idea for outdoorsy types. There need to be more groups like this for everything. I'd definitely join a black book club or writer's circle.

Yes, I’ve been thinking about that for awhile. I would love to join a virtual bookclub. A hiking group or club would also be great.
