If you haven’t read the book DON’T BOTHER WATCHING THE SHOW
And I oop
yuh
True
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Never heard of the before I came through the show
Too late
I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!! I actually did not intend to sit and listen to the whole of this interview; but her energy and sincerity is so engaging, watching her is so refreshing - what an AMAZING human being! I enjoyed reading her books as a kid up until my teens, it's great to actually listen to and watch (even if it's just 47 minutes) the beautiful personality woven into genius! Madame Blackman - I SALUTE YOU!
This is such a powerful and timely conversation. Wonderful! Blackman's Noughts and Crosses series got me into reading when I was younger. Absolutely devoured them. Cannot wait for the tv series to come. She's brilliant.
Just finished the book, I havent cried this hard in my entire life!
during lockdown i've really gotten back in touch with my reading...and that applies with Malorie Blackman! I absolutely loved Pig Heart Boy and her other books but reading Noughts and Crosses and Knife's Edge and Crossfire as a 17 year old in this political climate has so much more intense meaning. I was just so happy to see myself both in Sephy and Callum in terms of race and class respectively, which I didn't expect...I can't wait to continue reading on, I don't want to finish it all too fast!
The chemistry between Malorie and Krishnan is absolutely quality. I really feel they bring the best out of each other and sometimes you need to feel like you're talking/listening to a friend. I really valued that in this interview and Michaela Coel's too.
Yay! I love everything Malorie Blackman had to say! Thanks for interviewing her! I just got Knots and Crosses on Audible the other day. 💗💓
This was one of my favourite book series growing up! I loved how alternative they showed a world that really just shows either way discrimination is wrong and just trying to show how equality is better. I found my self remembering and comparing scenes to the book!!😂 I hope they have another season exploring the other books and the ending of the the first books. I understand that’s somethings changed to make it more modern like focusing on police brutality which is sadly very relevant now. I really liked the series and the character really should character development throughout the show. I just hope the can continue and show the ending similar to the books!! :)
@G M Why don't people like you GROW UP? You've got Brexit, you're out of the E.U. you've got Boris and his band of populists running the show, yet you are still complaining and playing the victims. The institutional power in the U.K. is with the Conservative Party, which is what you all voted for. Do you think they really care about ordinary working people when Chancellor George Osborne gave billions in tax cuts to the richest while his Government imposed austerity on the country? Or when they recruited an idiot like Andrew Sabisky, who wanted enforced contraception to prevent a "permanent underclass"?
And if the term white privilege annoys you, that's because you don't understand what it means. The poorest white person can still have privilege over the wealthiest black person. In 1986, I was refused entry to a nightclub on grounds of my colour. I had a good well-paid job as a local government officer at that time. A young white man further down the queue got into the club without any trouble; for all I know, he might not even have had a job, but he was able to get in because he was white. That was his white privilege over me. That sort of thing was still happening as recently as 2017; a friend of black presenter Afua Hirsh was refused entry to a nightclub in London. Barrack Obama was U.S. President for 8 years, but many white Americans would not accept that he was born in the U.S, even though he was from Hawaii, a U.S. state. John McCain, who stood against him in the 2008 election was also born outside the U.S. mainland, in Panama, but NO-ONE EVER questioned his right to stand as a presidential candidate. That was McCain's white privilege over Obama.
Malorie is my favourite author! It's very difficult for me to stay interested in a book; I'm too picky but she does an awesome job with her books. I always get inspired to write my own stories.
Malorie Blackman has helped shape history for black authors, she is a gamechanger, period.
Some of these comments are so racist, it's ridiculous
Yeah, the racist comments are disgusting, but they are coming from pathetic individuals who miss the privileges afforded to them by exploitation and violence- their old world is falling, their Karma is coming, and they are terrified.
G M I have to laugh at that first reply. It’s so sad. What’s the point of racism ? We’re literally the same. We’re born , we die. Nobody is above another person. Cry because an intelligent black woman is getting paid more than you do in a week for an hour interview and you’re sitting at home writing sad and hateful comments like this.
she is a race baiting grifter.
Noughts and crosses is such an amazing book! I had never cried from reading before I came across it. Such a powerful story😭
Also, Malorie apparently plays warlock in World of Warcraft and that makes me absolutely FLOORED
Good podcast. Don’t necessarily agree with all her views but in the main she makes good sense... sides, it’s her views and she’s entitled to them.
Anthony Joseph wtffffd nah that’s not right
@Anthony Joseph If you don't want to live near low IQ individuals, how do you manage to live with yourself?
@@bloodbuddy7 what did they say?
why is there soo much hate on this video
People only hate on what is reflected on themselves sadly
Some white people who have power don't want to let go of power which sums up the premise in noughts and crosses. Hence why we need this drama to visualise the realities of racism today.
@sleepyeyes damn..... i get it now
I fully stan Malorie Blackman playing WOW.
But yeah really interesting :)
I stumbled on this through the internet rabbit holes lol. What an amazing woman! Great interview too.
Fascinating interview
I love the fact that Channel 4 has such a wide variety of guests who say exactly the same thing.
Ship’s Cook wait what?
mrc121002 you are really foolish to be saying that to a a black young lady. if white people weren’t being colonisers we would be happily living our best life in africa but nope life isn’t fair. its not the 1900s anymore so why still trying to demonise us?
mrc121002 why are you so dumb
What you say and what you do reflects who you are. Why is it so difficult to say someone that says racist remarks and does racist things as "racist"???
If you murdered a rat can i call you a murderer?
Ever said something out of anger or lied to someone to spare their feelings? Does that then mean "who you are" is a short tempered liar? It's not as simple as that is it?, same with racism, i find racist jokes funny, but i also have friends of all races, so am i a true racist or not? Your way of thinking encourages divide
Joe T that’s the dumbest thing I ever heard. But I guess if you constantly deny rentbig apartments to them, victimize them publicly without trial, say they don’t deserve to be president because they’re not legitimately born in country... and constantly murder them (🤷🏽♂️) then yes, you’re a ‘rat murderer’ ... I guess....?????
A killing is a killing man...No way to call that by another keep-my-comfort-zone word.
And what are you gonna do when we dont care that you call us racist?
just finished the book in school
I want cross fire part 2 now
Anti-immigrant feelings exist everywhere (e.g. anti-Zimbabwean riots in South Africa) and throughout time (e.g. St. Brice's Day massacre), so to pretend its only a modern thing or white thing is patently absurd. When people economic pressure or feel that their country/region/locale is changing too fast they sadly react. The point is to mediate these feelings and not pretending every criticism is racism or irrational (e.g. It is statistically proven that mass immigration has surpressed low income wages in the UK, or from history, that migration to Australia has near totally destroyed an ancient people).
@Andrew Lyon You literally didn't address anything @YoMammaa100 wrote, makes you look foolish.
@YoMommaa100 You, a brown interloper, does not have any authority to lecture indigenous Europeans, or English people for that matter, on European matters, past or present.
@@NealeDeadlyAlien And you, a low IQ interloper to You Tube, do not have any authority to lecture people who actually have some intelligence. Try correcting your grammar, it's not "You ... does" it's "You ... do".
I love herr sooo muuchhhhhh
legend
Foot
.
Ok am I the only person who thinks noughts go first in the game? Or was this what she had in mind??
Name one country that isn't racist.🌎
Nation states are the only obstacle to prevent the corporations from taking over more than they already do. Care for your country or you are screwed.
@H Kay they're trying to point out that there isnt one
India
@@wonderwoman5528 India is the most racist
"I was reading about people that were nothing like me" So is Martin Bashir an alien species from another planet?
"So Poor Storytelling &
Very Short On Inspirational Originality."
Watch! This Movie: 'White Man's Burden.' 1995
Starring: John Travolta & Harry Belafonte
Why do villains always portray themselves as victims?
What's that supposed to mean?
i think thomas jefferson said something about this: crying out in pain as they strike you.. obviously very racist
My grandparents are from Turkey and Germany, they came here in 50's, had loads of kids and worked hard, didn't take a single handout and embraced English culture. Why can't more immigrants do this? Why is it racist to want that? It's what every country wants of their immigrants, people who will take on their culture and will embrace them, not avoid them. Otherwise it just creates tribalism, loads of different groups jammed together with nothing in common
I guess racism will get you an OBE as long as it's the "right kind of racism" #diversity
Soooooooooo easy to judge and blame others. You can't blame white authors in a white country for not writing books for people of colour. They are not arrogant enough to presume they could. Is the West Indies this utopia you blame Britain for not being? Would you be so free to make these claims "back in the old country"? I've been forced thru politics to live in 4 separate countries ... I am enormously grateful that I live in the country that I do ... and I certainly don't consider myself arrogant enough to judge them.
I wonder what it must be like to travel first class... Oh well, best go about with my white privilege and all that.
I wonder what its like to walk around in the city I grew up in without fearing attacks from racists like you. Oh well, best go steal some jobs from white brits who are too lazy to do them.
Why do people think privilege is only about material wealth? Lol....
I agree with her on year round Black history being taught year round
Yep..............in Africa.
@@gary8306 yep all over
