    Not being a black person dave performs this so well in a way that I can connect to this song .dave has to be one of the only artists that can do things like this. He could do any other song to big him self up but he chose to raise awareness on a social issue in today’s society which most other artists would be afraid of because of the controversy. Mad respect for him for not being afraid to say it how it is

    So gassed he won album of the year as well, doesn't matter who you are, even if you can't personally feel the pain if you haven't been through struggles like this, purely based on skin colour, which is ridiculous and unfair (as he said - equality is a right), to see Dave express himself like this is amazing and everyone should appreciate this, but they won't because people can't handle the truth

    I'm 17 years old black kid who lives in south Wales, in the valleys the reason I look up to rappers like Dave is he gives me confidence or not to be afraid to stand up/ be proud of having 2 African parents who grew up in a proper rural environment, it gives me confidence to take no bullshit of the racists I've had to deal with from time to time, it also gives me hope every day being a black teen in an overwhelmingly predominant white area that I can be myself and not have to change. BTW want to give a shout out to Lee wouldn't be a better person on UA-cam to dissect and analyse how important this is.

      I know I'm late to the party with this reply, but... I'm a white Brit, a fair bit older than you (probably your parents age), and reading your comment made me need to respond with this:
      My friend, *never* show anything but pride for who you are and where you are from. Be proud of your African heritage, be proud to be a Brit, and be proud to be Welsh. I'm so white that I only have to look at the sun and I fry... 😂 But that doesn't make me any more British than you. There isn't a single person on this island of ours who is "100% British", so the only thing a racist achieves when they start running their mouth is that they put their ignorance on display for all to see.
      I'm proud that kids like you are the future of this country - strong, intelligent, fair-minded and determined. I'm sorry that you face unnecessary hurdles, put in your path by people who should know better. Just remember that *you* embody what is "best of British", not them.
      Take care and keep your head held high 💖

    Dave released this song originally in his Psychodrama album but the original song only contained the first two verses, the third verse was totally unexpected and first heard in this performance.
    The two people he mentions are Jack Merritt and Saskia Jones, were Cambridge University students who dedicated themselves to prison reform and rehabilitation. They were both course co-ordinators of a learning together scheme which brought people in higher education and offenders to 'learn together'. They were both attending a 'Learning Together' event where Usman Khan entered with a fake suicide vest, threatened to detonate it and then knifed several people. Jack Merritt and Dave knew each other because Dave's older brother, Christopher, was undergoing prisoner rehabilitation after being involved in the 2010 murder of Soften Belamouadden.
    Dave also refers to Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle of the British Royal Family, and how differently Meghan was treated in the media, in comparison to Kate, with Meghan being the first mixed race member of a Royal Family that presided over centuries of colonialism and slavery.
    The Grenfell Tower was an incident in 2017 where a tower block in West London broke out and killed 72 people. This happened because safety standards were skimped on so companies could save around £13,000 on safety cladding. The tower was located in a conservative (right-wing) council also house some of the most expensive housing. The council were accused of neglecting the minority-ethnic poorer residents. The hundreds of victims who lost their houses were not given long-term accommodation, and this incident has been used to highlight the neglect and inequality that is prevalent in the UK.
    The Windrush scandal was when many Caribbean people boarded ships that were set for Britain (the Caribbean was part of the Commonwealth) between 1948-1973. When they arrived, they were given British Citizenship and were free to permanently work and live in the UK. However, in 2012, UK government and non-gov sectors were tasked with ramping up the enforcement of Immigration controls. This 'Hostile Environment' legislation that was announced by the Government in 2012, made the UK unlivable for those without proper documentation. Many of the commonwealth citizens that arrived between 1948-1973 came on their parents passports and weren't given proper documentation, despite being given the right to live and work in the UK permanently. This lead to many Commonwealth citizens, who would've grown up in the UK for several decades, to be falsely deemed as 'Illegal Immigrants'' and the government restricted their access to housing, healthcare, bank accounts and driving licenses. This caused widespread condemnation for the Government and the Home Office. Victims of this scandal were promised compensation however, after three years, the Government compensation scheme has only made a handful of payments. However, this 'Hostile Environment' legislation that caused this scandal is still in place in 2020, even during the COVID-19 crisis. Independent reports have found that the Windrush scandal was not an accident, but the inevitable result of policies designed to make life impossible for those without the right papers.
    At the start of the third verse, Dave also described the PM, Boris Johnson as racist. This due to Boris Johnson writing columns for the Daily Telegraph in the 2000's, where he made many racist, homophobic, Islamophobic and sexist comments. Some comments include, and are not limited to:
    In a 2018 column for The Daily Telegraph relating to a burqa ban, he wrote that was "absolutely ridiculous" that "people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes" and that "If a constituent came to my MP’s surgery with her face obscured, I should feel fully entitled… to ask her to remove it so that I could talk to her properly. If a female student turned up at school or at a university lecture looking like a bank robber then ditto: those in authority should be allowed to converse openly with those that they are being asked to instruct."
    When he found out that 68% of Malaysian women are attending University, he stated "[Female students went to university because they] have got to find men to marry.
    "
    "It is said that the Queen has come to love the Commonwealth, partly because it supplies her with regular cheering crowds of flag-waving piccaninnies.
    " The word "Piccaninnies" is an extremely derogatory term.
    "No doubt the AK47s will fall silent, and the pangas will stop their hacking of human flesh, and the tribal warriors will all break out in watermelon smiles to see the big white chief touch down in his big white British taxpayer-funded bird.
    " He wrote this when Tony Blair, the then UK PM, visited the Democratic Republic of Congo, describing men of the DRC as having "watermelon smiles", when asked about this in his 2019 election campaign, he dismissed it as "satire", which it obviously isn't.
    ((Regaring Barack Obama)) "The part-Kenyan president [has an] ancestral dislike of the British empire - of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.
    " The only evidence for this statement was the colour of Obama's skin.
    Using the word Nigerian as an insult, which racism was a by-product of offending young people "All the young people I know - ie those under 30 - are just as avaricious as we flinty Thatcherite yuppies of the 1980s in fact, they have an almost Nigerian interest in money and gadgets of all kinds.
    "
    Here, he is wanting to bring back colonisation of the whole of Africa, which was responsible for slavery "The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty.
    "
    In 2000, Johnson said that a "bunch of black kids" made him “turn a hair”, and added:
    "If that is racial prejudice, then I am guilty."
    The outstanding thing though is that he, a blatant racist, was elected as Mayor of London (London being an extremely diverse city of the UK), Foreign Secretary (being responsible for UK foreign affairs, even though he is pro-colonialism) and is now the most powerful person in the UK, despite being a racist, islamophobic, sexist, pro-colonisation leader, which is all fact and quoted.

    *I’m “White British” female. But I connected to this song more then other songs. To the point I was in TEARS with GOOSEBUMPS when I first heard it. I keep watching people reactions to it to see their reactions to it. Our Prime Minister is a bloody racist. Calling Islamic women “letterboxes” due to their face veils and black people “watermelon mouths”. How vile is that? I’m also glad that he felt ok to pay his respects to Jack Merritt (a white male) in a song called Black. Jack helped Dave’s family to try to get his brother out of prison I believe. So Dave knew him personally. So it allegedly hit him hard when he was killed!! The visuals of this performance on the screen was STUNNING!! His voice is BEAUTIFUL too!*

    As a middle aged white guy from Scotland this song and the way it is performed has legitimately conveyed to me better than anything else how true racism might *feel*, how far it stretches back... and how deep it cuts. I'll never understand properly but hearing this and seeing reactions like this is as close as I have ever been to having any fucking idea.
    Love to my brothers and sisters. Black, white and any and every shade of human.

    I am a white middle class women and could never really relate to a lot of black music/artists for obvious reasons, however Dave's performance really made me think about things as he spoke the truth. This guy is going somewhere and I want to listen to more of his music and other black artists like him. I think he could get through to people more than others.

They don’t realise that history plays such a big part. I’ve heard some black Americans say no one bothers with the Ancestry - trace your history stuff- because the records of black families just don’t exist past a certain date. Yet another great reaction. X

We had a lot of Indian families in our family circle of friends but in my whole school there was literally 1 or 2 of 650 black children. Some areas are really sheltered to it but we need education and to understand and raise awareness. Dave is amazing and this message needs to be shouted LOUD!

    I've got the same feeling watching this perfomance as when i saw "roots" from alex haley 1978 as a 13 year old white girl in germany. i have never experienced loosing family, loosing roots, or being treated in a racist way. this is so important for all of us to know that there is still immense racism all over the world. we need a conscience, an awareness what we are doing in normal life to people who are different to us. so important. i feel ashamed that we are still here and didn't change anything.
