This week we're on my home turf, talking about black history in the UK! There has been a black presence in the UK since the Roman times. In this video we will hear about a black trumpeter in King Henry VIII's court, a black victorian circus owner and even Queen Victoria's African goddaughter! Did you know that every summer London hosts the biggest street carnival in Europe? The Notting Hill Carnival is an annual celebration of Afro-Caribbean culture in Britain. All this a more, coming right up!
Music:
- Cruisin by Pacific
- Juicy by DCQ Beatz
- Maria by Ramoon x Eiby

Thank you for this information about black history. This is the history they didn't teach us in school, l wonder why?🤔 I've been having these strange visions lately where the African Diaspora all over the world exodus from foreign lands back to our spiritual home.... I feel something is happening in the spiritual realm.....

Thank you. Your videos are helpful and provide basic information. More critical analysis about the experience of current racism would enhance these videos. In other words what black people in the countries you select are experiencing and still working to combat, information that is usually available in newspapers or by communicatingwith black groups.

Black people in Britain didn't start in Roman Britain it actually started much earlier, ignoring the fact the first Homo sapiens to arrive in Britain were black, the Silures tribe which existed in what we now call Wales were descended from people who had travelled from Iberia and what is now Morocco and Western Sahara, they either migrated to Wales or it was due to trade connection which existed between these areas to export copper from Wales across the world. While the Silures were considered part of the "Combrogi" or modern "Cymry" (compatriots/kin) to the other Brythonic peoples, by the time of the Roman invasion they were still quite distinct with dark skin and some sources describe "Wearing hair like snakes" that could mean evidence of Brythonic Silurian peoples with braided hair or dreadlocks, or it could just be a Roman story to scare children into thinking all Britons were an army of Medusa's. Most of British history has been solely focused on the Germanic Anglo-Saxons, but before that Britain was pretty diverse for the time period, how else did the ginger gene jump from Asia to the Scottish highlands. But yeh, the pre-Roman Brittonic tribe of Silures were the first documented black people in Britain, and they were the fiercest of foes for the Romans and were the last Brittonic tribe to surrender and inspired many Welsh legends about the Silurian leaders and are my number one favourite Brythonic tribe. My ancestry DNA shows the path my ancestors took, and it shows they were from North-Western Africa and Iberia, which I jokingly use as proof I am a decedent of Caradog which also makes my ancestors were the least adventurous people since I still live in the area the Silures once called home meaning they never moved for 2,000+ years. I think certain biases have caused an unconscious whitewashing of history, in other cases it is blatant whitewashing, another hero of mine is Paul Robeson he was an African-American who visited Wales a few times and was allowed to perform at the National Eisteddfod in English (Which is rare since it was taboo to not speak Welsh during the Eisteddfod genedlaethol) he was a hero of many Welsh miners at the time including my great-grandfather who had his picture on the wall. But this history has almost become lost as schools focus solely on the Anglo-Saxon and Norman kings and queens and the rest being London during WW2, I'd honestly have preferred lessons on the rich and tragic life of Paul Robeson than lessons glorifying Winston Churchill. Fun fact for those that read my ramblings (or skipped to the end) Paul Robeson was friends with the great Welshman himself Aneurin Bevan the founder of the NHS who had grown up with free healthcare in Wales and thought it would be a good idea to share the concept of free healthcare to the rest of the UK. Keep up the good work, history should not be forgotten, it is the interwoven story that made us who we are, we are here because of every person that came before us, and not a single one of them deserves to be forgotten (Except for Edward Longshanks, he's the first on my hit list when I get my hands on a time machine, but that's a story for another comment section)

If you go to the playlist 'African Diaspora Worldwide' on my channel, you will see in the playlist all the countries I have ever made a video on. That's probably the fastest and easiest way to see which countries are available and which are still to come 😊 There is a further breakdown of playlists by continent/region, if you are interested in a particular area, such as the Americas, which you were asking about recently. I hope that helps! Thank you so much for watching as always!

What she did not mention is that most Black English people do not want to procreate with other Blacks if they could help it. For example, almost 70% of Black Caribbean males and over half of Black Caribbean females engage in inter-racial relationships. And 90% of their off spring marry White!! That's what the demographers report. Compare that to the Asian population where in the percent of interracial marriage is comparatively low.
