Yeah being forced to have a TV licence which ONLY pays for the BBC when you have no option to have TV without it is a disgrace. The BBC need to just put adverts on their channels and realise that the people of Britain are sick and tired of this unwarranted tax. I haven't paid it in around 2 years now and never will again.

@Justa Computa Good, the more we move the more we learn. Border's are imaginary lines created in the fantasies of war mongers. People migrate, always have. That's why the richest places have been on trade routes. The world should be wary with the pandemic, but for a world that has found peace, we have to know each other in it.
@Justa Computa what? I am doing NO such thing! Sounds like you are! Read up on immigration, when people are forced to leave their homes, yes it can create poverty, but when people are forced to live in dangerous conditions and not allowed to find safety it's much worse. People who immigrate pay taxes, work essential jobs others don't want, they bring their culture and trade. The dumpster fire lie of people like Trumpet, "they're going to steal your jobs! Build a wall!" I live in Texas and have never met a roofer, janitor, field worker, road construction crewman that couldn't find work...and guess what these are the jobs most immigrants have. There are more jobs than people willing to do them. Also, the birth rate across the world has plummeted in the past 20 years, places are actually short on population, Italy has almost no youth, who will take care of the elderly? India might be ok. But there are not many people Italy milking the cows...immigration is a solution not a problem.
@Justa Computa that is what you think? People don't have families because they can't afford them? That's never stopped people from copulating. The change is cultural. Italy is just an example. Young people don't want to take care of babies anymore, they play with computers not dolls, they want to explore, not work the family farm or in the clothing industry anymore, so they need people who are willing to do these things.
@Justa Computa Colonizing, poverty, violence, racism, oppression, genocide? Projecting much? What nonsense! Europe is a multi racial continent. Deal with it.
@Justa Computa By force? Because Italians can't afford families? Perhaps this will explain www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/11/underpopulated-italian-region-molise

Presenting history is equal to self loathing in the UK? Do you share the same sentiments when the Germans present the history of nazism to their people?
@@MrMaboboz It's not an objective history. It seeks to pin moral blame for Africans hating on other Africans on British people, as if Africans should be absolved of all responsibility.
@@Miquelalalaa History has never been objective. Each society is taught to believe that their actions past or present are justifiable and sometimes even moral at the expense of other societies. This is why British people seem to believe that the empire abolished slavery out of benevolence and that their society stands for good, while this might be true to some extend today, it was very different back then and benevolence had nothing to do with their actions. Americans believe that dropping bombs in the middle east is tantamount to democracy ignoring the number of innocent civilians being murdered by their actions, some black south Africans believe whites have no legal claim to south African land etc. So when this part of history is shown it's not surprising that it makes you uncomfortable seeing as to how it's not being told from your point of view.
Was my comment deleted for stating historical fact?! Next time, please present both sides of the history. Not just one side of the history in a minced or rather revised fashion that omits the actions of rebel, extremist or terrorist groups to make out all colonials as being evil genocidal maniacs and usurpers. You want to know the worst way to get Europeans to care about their largely ignoble and shameful colonial past? Present one side of the story and revise it by omitting or trivializing the actions of the paramilitary forces and would be juntas that opposed them. Pretend the Mau Mau rebel organization did not murder women and children. Pretend the Algerians were exclusively victims of the French and were never the aggressors even against their own people. Censor me for stating unbiased historical fact.

Nobody is asking for the covering up of anyone's sins. The maumau etc did the evils and you're right to mention them, however, the covering up of the truth about colonialism/slavery is also what is being uncovered because the miseducation has brought forth a lot of misunderstanding leading to xenophobia, racism, prejudice because most people don't know the truth.

I have lost respect for the BBC here. Deleting my comment for saying there were Mau Mau rebels who killed innocent settlers and thousands of their own people who supported the British was wrong. I did not say what the British did was right, I said what the Mau Mau rebels did was wrong. How can you expect ANYONE to sympathize with you when you censor historical fact? What the British did was inexcusable and was worse than the crimes of the Mau Mau rebels. However, that does not excuse the Mau Mau rebels for what they did. Nor the BBC, for its incalculably lesser offence, of censoring me for stating historical fact.

@@amackzie The issue has less to do with colonialism than it has to do with the land redistribution that took place after independence. I think that we can all agree that the corrupt political elites used the opportinity to enrich themselves and their communities by allocating land to their cronies. I am not saying that its not an issue, I am saying that the redistribution was done in an unfair way by the KANU administration. Also you cannot claim that the kalenjin is a small community, you forget that Moi came from the same community or rather tribe and was President for more than 20 years. This is Kenya and every tribe has had historical injustices from marginalisation of the people in north eastern and coastal regions to the freedom fighters of the central region who were neglected after independence and all the other issue in between and a good number of them are self inflicted like this one.
@@geeezy4485 I totally agree with you! What have we done to better our country since independence? Those who tried were either jailed or assasinated. There are no simple answers but sorting out corruption, theft of public funds, and tribalism would be a good start.

Nike Kamau my comment based on BBC 6 June 2013 "MauMau torture victims to receive compensation - Hague" ...it would be interesting if the BBC followed up the item finding out how the money helped in 2020 rather than repeat grievance history
This is a hard one. Yes the British committed historical injustices during colonialism. But can we please concentrate on the state of Kenya today. Our country is slowly dying from serious corruption and theft. If those tea farms were handed over to us from the multinationals, will we really (hand on heart) take care of the land as well? I'm sad to say from our post-independence experience of gross mismanagement of the country that we won't and I've concluded this from the current state of affairs. The political elite have it easy in this country (mainly due to the kleptocracy of public funds) but the common man is suffering, hardly able to put food on the table. The West, WHO & other aid bodies sent money to help us during COVID19. Where has that money gone? Has the common man on the ground seen any of it, and has any transparent account been given of its use? We are reopening schools without taking adequate COVID19 precautions, gambling with our children's lives. Please let's concentrate on how to make this country better going forward. Stop dwelling in the past.

This is typical BBC nonsense. Kenya is the size of California. In 1914, the white population of Kenya was about 1300. They introduced tea and coffee to the country, which are two of the country's biggest exports. Before the British arrived Kenya did not have efficient agriculture. They were not growing tea and coffee. The British government bought out the white farmers when they left in 1963 and handed the land over to Kenya. They also built a railway network. The British stamped out slavery and gave them the English language. Kenya benefitted from British colonialism. Had the British not arrived the country would still be stuck in the Iron Age.
Why are you calling invaders that stole, raped and murdered landowners "settlers"? If yall want to be a news organization then tell the truth and describe those that commit criminal acts CRIMINALS
The bbc will genuinely mention completely irrelevant non existent issues like this but wouldn’t dare touch sectarianism in Northern Ireland with a 10 foot poll
Hong Kong also still suffering from the ravages of colonialism.... Oh wait actually they're even wealthier per person than the UK and love us, frequently flying colonial flags and singing colonial songs in their protests. The people make a country.
The present is always a consequence of the past. This is true everywhere. Even in an American city like Boston, a person's wealth is statistically predictable depending on zip code of where they were raised. Likewise , their longevity ,scholastic achievement, drug use, everything, is all connected to their origin. Some people break the cycles and do not fit the statistics, but it takes many generations to obliterate All vestiges of inequity. This is equally true for white or black people ,whether you can distinguish their color from the larger background ,or not. Fifty years is Not a long time, it is not even one full lifetime. It is a parents duty to see to it ,that his children do better than he did. He must find a way to send them to school and put them on a good start, even if he himself does not advance. Fifty years is not a long time for change. Who told you independence was magic? Who told you that You personally would become rich, your life would be easy and soft? Was it the people who did not wish for independence to happen? Or was it the ones who pushed for it? the ones you sided with. Should every man or woman be equally wealthy, regardless of what their efforts are? Should only you grow crops and yet I get to eat as much as you? How would you divide Kenya? Who gets the rhino, and who gets the river? They did a geneology study of a man's family in India , his family traced back three thousand years , in the very same valley. Now That ! is a long time.

Same as Djibouti independence we thought that prosperity would come a better future for us but there was transfer of power to a another corrupted elite. BBC is doing just what the education system should have done, taught the whole truth.
If you define poor by Western standards then yes, Kenyans were never poor until Europeans arrived with capitalism and consumerism, some historian you are.
@@littlebopeep9528 they did not even have the wheel. They had slavery also. Ancient African tradition of slavery. This is true.

@@Azzeyman25 still pushing out Africa didn't have the wheel nonsense I see, and yes of course Africans had slavery they had civilisations and empires so of course they did, but saying Kenya was poor and still is is ignorant, what many in the west call poor many in Kenya call rich, most of them are not consumed by consumerism like people are here in the Europe apart from in the cities maybe.
Disgusting, this is an attack on the country and its History. A simplistic view of the uprising of the mau mau in 1950. Blaming the UK for its problems, 50 years after the independence of Kenya. Discusting.
Then why is Botswana doing OK because they were also a British Colony? Check out: ua-cam.com/video/VslKKgYvVKU/v-deo.html Also, note the origin of military hardware in countries that say they are held back by the legacy of colonialism or whatever.
"Kenya’s colonial inequalities continue, decades after independence - BBC News" after independence they are not colonial inequalities. ==========================================
The Kenyans didn't take back their stolen lands after gaining independence. Why complain now when you didn't take back stolen lands when you had an opportunity?
If you decide to compensate them, those old men will remarry or start dating young girls, the amount of jobs those farms offer will be lost if that land will be subdivided
As a Kenyan its true the UK colonial aftershocks are still felt in the eveyday lives of Kenyans but still the homeguards and their surrogates(read Kiamas and Njoyas) of this world celebrate and even support the economic and social injustices against other Kenyans as long as the leadrship is the hands of their tribesmen. When Kenyatta snr,Moi,kibaki and now Uhuru are in power their ethnic zealots dont give a fu$%#k about other kenyans...Therefore, we ourselves have to question our character today as far as inequalities are concerned in all aspects of reality.
These things they don't come as a shock to me and there hundreds of them. I leaned all this at school at a very young age at primary level as history, secondary as Africanism, Nationalism and later European history. But for British people they got told different history. Hence some of the comments and ignorance we see. And I don't blame them coz thats how they were told. How were they supposed to know when British burned the books, and rewrite stories for its future generation. Little did British knew that one day the world will be a small village and all stories will be known. Now its up to anybody to judge.
This is true to some extent. It should have been fixed a long time ago. This only forces Kenyans to work harder and embrace more stuff like technology.
I'm surprised they keep comments on this video, he tried saying there government had sticks and stones to fight gangs with guns for 10 years very unlikely statement
There have been 32 Military Coups in Africa (look at the weapon of choice - AK47), there is the ongoing Naxalite-Maoist insurgency in India, the 45 left wing or marxist guerilla groups in South and Central America (there are only 3 US backed guerilla groups). In other words the deliberate destabilization of sovereign countries. "While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State" - Lenin (what a nice guy). Chinese publications such as China Daily will go on and on and on and on about colonialism and the militaristic West. Meanwhile the May Day miltary parades in Moscow, Beijing, Minsk, Havana and Pyongyang are anything but peaceful displays. The West assisted both Russia and China during the 2nd World War as best they could, and despite Roosevelt's naive assumption that Russia would join the free world, both Russia and China persisted with their nihilistic attack on the West with their intent to destroy capitalism, beginning shortly after the end of WW2 with invasions of Korea, Viet Nam, Malaysia and the blockade of Berlin.

It will take time but it will be worth it... trust me we shall rise...the African dream of equality and fairness coz we know what suffering is and we can't wish it on anyone.
Amazingly inequality has existed since Adam and Eve. I really don't see how anyone would believe everyone should be, look feel, think, act and in every aspect of their lives be exactly the same (equal) as everyone else. It would be a really unexciting and boring world if that ever happened. Inequality is part of life and always will be.
Eventually it cannot be the West's fault... eventually the African nations/governments will need to fully take the responsibility of their countries like the USA did when they broke free from Europe.
This is about acknowledging the atrocities of the colonialists which is a good thing for people to learn, as well as the wrongs done by those who are/were in African leadership. A lot of evil was done by the colonialists and it's about educating people about the truth. BBC is doing just what the education system should have done, taught the whole truth, not that soldiers were heroes for invading other lands and forcefully taking while at the same time killing.
Return NFD to Somalia you cry about British colonialism yet you still practice it . Also acknowledge the massacre by Kenyans on Somalia during the shift a war
These issues should not be seen as Kenyans not doing what they're are supposed to do. Or any such reductionism. The wrong committed here by BBC, is that they assume British people can do something about it and ought to. They assume British are A] all powerful (which man is never) and B] morally perfect (which again man is not). There are serious issues that arose during and after Colonisation. The local kingdoms in India, to take an issue colse to heart, a were systematical destroyed by the British, and later more thoroughly by the leaders of the Central government who followed them into power ( notably Indra Gandhi). We all instinctively feel home in our own language, on such basis India would be many "nations", We, in Kerala, Trivancore dynasty, for example were actually in good terms with the British. And many development programmes which the British felt were needed were initiated with the consent of the King. Our ruler studied in the best schools in Europe and was revered by everyone.( There is lovely documentary made on it ua-cam.com/video/aSt5DzKE4jI/v-deo.html) Compare that with our Democratic leaders who were sometimes illiterate. And ever since the British left, Marxism became rampant. The Democratic State government was established, dethroning the old boy( he's not a Monarch btw the translation from my language wouldn't do). Ever since then it's all we hear about is the Central Government, the "Indian" government, really forging a new Identity, imposing Hindi as the national language against our will. Well who do cry to? Don't you know might is right. I forgot to mention that the cast system broke down in India, and the property owned by the upper castes were taken by the State and given to peasents( very Communist-ish I know!) We all go through stuff. I may merely recall what Germany had to go through after loosing the first world war. People engage in wars, they fight, it's a sad reality. All you can do is straighten up and fly right. The only story here ( not associated with history) is the intention here by the News agency here to cover an archaic specimen of past
I am a big supporter of BLM but even I find this ... reaching? Tearing down statues of slave traders from times past is about many things, especially the acknowledgement of what they have done and how harmful it was. But to then attribute the same idea to a country that has had over a lifetime of freedom from this colonist occupation is damaging. Wake up to the problems that exist today, not before you were born. The problems that exist in Kenya now are about corrupt officials and politics that are entirely your own creation now unfortunately.
@Alligator Firstly. You know nothing about me. To assume I am naive when it clearly appears you did not understand my prior comment is short-sighted at best. I assume you just read BLM supporter and assumed I was trying to find a positive narrative to the piece above? I critiqued it. I don't care what kind of Machiavellian scheming you've managed to construct about the BBC but go back to studying the works of Qannon. The world is fucked up enough without conspiracy theories.
I would like to say that BBC says something true here in this report! I made 4 trips to Kenya in the last 4 years. The driver who worked for me workes really hard but still can not make a bare living of his own. His four children (2 still in there childhood) are with their mother. They are small and malnutritioned, growing in the big smoky city of Nairobi. The owner of the vehicle has the lion’s share of the revenue. He earns a bit of allowance and $8-10 salary for driving for a whole day. To get jobs, he has to pay bus fares to look for jobs. He eats very little! He was not paid still for the 21-day hard jobs he did in Meru in 2018 for an American NGO, because the agent refused to pay. The NGO said it was not their fault. The police can not help either. People see them as losers. The agent once worked for Kenya army and is covered by relations. He said he can not find any body or organizations for help. He can not afford to hire a lawyer. The workers later decided to make a peace with the agent first, then wait for next job chance to sack the him. But the agent never gives them jobs any more. OMG! Without real equality on economy, without a strong government working for all the people, so called freedom and democracy are truly knives and stabs! If any one sees my message, I would like to give the telephone number of this driver. Please help him. He is starving. I helped several times though.
Very sad for those people who never realised that the land was already taken, all things the white man was doing he had planned for that. We being divided is our foolishness.
The resistance of the English audience to face what their country has done to the world shows how this discuss is important. Let's face the facts without fear, british people. Here in Brazil we also suffer because of Portuguese colonialism. Most of black people is poor because of it. Be brave. And congrats, BBC!

Wow, reading the comments...do all British people actually believe that colonial rule is like some sort of prayer answered? It's crazy.
@Justa Computa Good, the more we move the more we learn. Border's are imaginary lines created in the fantasies of war mongers. People migrate, always have. That's why the richest places have been on trade routes. The world should be wary with the pandemic, but for a world that has found peace, we have to know each other in it.
@Justa Computa what? I am doing NO such thing! Sounds like you are! Read up on immigration, when people are forced to leave their homes, yes it can create poverty, but when people are forced to live in dangerous conditions and not allowed to find safety it's much worse. People who immigrate pay taxes, work essential jobs others don't want, they bring their culture and trade. The dumpster fire lie of people like Trumpet, "they're going to steal your jobs! Build a wall!" I live in Texas and have never met a roofer, janitor, field worker, road construction crewman that couldn't find work...and guess what these are the jobs most immigrants have. There are more jobs than people willing to do them. Also, the birth rate across the world has plummeted in the past 20 years, places are actually short on population, Italy has almost no youth, who will take care of the elderly? India might be ok. But there are not many people Italy milking the cows...immigration is a solution not a problem.
@Justa Computa that is what you think? People don't have families because they can't afford them? That's never stopped people from copulating. The change is cultural. Italy is just an example. Young people don't want to take care of babies anymore, they play with computers not dolls, they want to explore, not work the family farm or in the clothing industry anymore, so they need people who are willing to do these things.
@Justa Computa Colonizing, poverty, violence, racism, oppression, genocide? Projecting much? What nonsense! Europe is a multi racial continent. Deal with it.
@Justa Computa By force? Because Italians can't afford families? Perhaps this will explain www.theguardian.com/world/2019/sep/11/underpopulated-italian-region-molise

Not so when all of the presenters and reporters are non white
Presenting history is equal to self loathing in the UK? Do you share the same sentiments when the Germans present the history of nazism to their people?
@@MrMaboboz It's not an objective history. It seeks to pin moral blame for Africans hating on other Africans on British people, as if Africans should be absolved of all responsibility.
@@Miquelalalaa History has never been objective. Each society is taught to believe that their actions past or present are justifiable and sometimes even moral at the expense of other societies. This is why British people seem to believe that the empire abolished slavery out of benevolence and that their society stands for good, while this might be true to some extend today, it was very different back then and benevolence had nothing to do with their actions. Americans believe that dropping bombs in the middle east is tantamount to democracy ignoring the number of innocent civilians being murdered by their actions, some black south Africans believe whites have no legal claim to south African land etc. So when this part of history is shown it's not surprising that it makes you uncomfortable seeing as to how it's not being told from your point of view.
if you thought what britain did in the colonies was good then you're an odd, odd person
Was my comment deleted for stating historical fact?! Next time, please present both sides of the history. Not just one side of the history in a minced or rather revised fashion that omits the actions of rebel, extremist or terrorist groups to make out all colonials as being evil genocidal maniacs and usurpers. You want to know the worst way to get Europeans to care about their largely ignoble and shameful colonial past? Present one side of the story and revise it by omitting or trivializing the actions of the paramilitary forces and would be juntas that opposed them. Pretend the Mau Mau rebel organization did not murder women and children. Pretend the Algerians were exclusively victims of the French and were never the aggressors even against their own people. Censor me for stating unbiased historical fact.
You want the whitewashed version of history?
Yvonne what’s your perspective of white wash??
Historians argue against the infantilizing of the native people.
Native American weren’t honest, incorruptible people. They were human.
Nobody is asking for the covering up of anyone's sins. The maumau etc did the evils and you're right to mention them, however, the covering up of the truth about colonialism/slavery is also what is being uncovered because the miseducation has brought forth a lot of misunderstanding leading to xenophobia, racism, prejudice because most people don't know the truth.
@@sansm6297 There will always be a minority of people with racist outlooks because there will always be bullies - bullies will find a reason to pick on others for their difference be it skin tone, religion, disabilities, appearance, timidness, status etc. I'm not sure why you think re educating for 'wrongthink' and reparations will solve this ?
About the french in North Africa. The main reason they invaded was to put an end to the Barbary Pirates who between 1350-1830 captured and enslaved 1,25 mil Europeans. This fact is never mentioned in any report and especially not by BBC. Actions have consequences.

I have lost respect for the BBC here. Deleting my comment for saying there were Mau Mau rebels who killed innocent settlers and thousands of their own people who supported the British was wrong. I did not say what the British did was right, I said what the Mau Mau rebels did was wrong. How can you expect ANYONE to sympathize with you when you censor historical fact? What the British did was inexcusable and was worse than the crimes of the Mau Mau rebels. However, that does not excuse the Mau Mau rebels for what they did. Nor the BBC, for its incalculably lesser offence, of censoring me for stating historical fact.

I'm kenyan and I can assure you that is a non-issue
@@amackzie The issue has less to do with colonialism than it has to do with the land redistribution that took place after independence. I think that we can all agree that the corrupt political elites used the opportinity to enrich themselves and their communities by allocating land to their cronies. I am not saying that its not an issue, I am saying that the redistribution was done in an unfair way by the KANU administration. Also you cannot claim that the kalenjin is a small community, you forget that Moi came from the same community or rather tribe and was President for more than 20 years. This is Kenya and every tribe has had historical injustices from marginalisation of the people in north eastern and coastal regions to the freedom fighters of the central region who were neglected after independence and all the other issue in between and a good number of them are self inflicted like this one.
@@geeezy4485 well said, you're well informed that is exactly what happened the mau mau are peasants today.

This is a hard one. Yes the British committed historical injustices during colonialism. But can we please concentrate on the state of Kenya today. Our country is slowly dying from serious corruption and theft. If those tea farms were handed over to us from the multinationals, will we really (hand on heart) take care of the land as well? I'm sad to say from our post-independence experience of gross mismanagement of the country that we won't and I've concluded this from the current state of affairs. The political elite have it easy in this country (mainly due to the kleptocracy of public funds) but the common man is suffering, hardly able to put food on the table. The West, WHO & other aid bodies sent money to help us during COVID19. Where has that money gone? Has the common man on the ground seen any of it, and has any transparent account been given of its use? We are reopening schools without taking adequate COVID19 precautions, gambling with our children's lives. Please let's concentrate on how to make this country better going forward. Stop dwelling in the past.
KENYAN COFFEE is nice, yes? Great Britain introduced it in the 1890s and much of it is produced today by small farmers over there, helping ordinary Kenyans. We're not called "Great" Britain for nothing. 😉👌

This is typical BBC nonsense. Kenya is the size of California. In 1914, the white population of Kenya was about 1300. They introduced tea and coffee to the country, which are two of the country's biggest exports. Before the British arrived Kenya did not have efficient agriculture. They were not growing tea and coffee. The British government bought out the white farmers when they left in 1963 and handed the land over to Kenya. They also built a railway network. The British stamped out slavery and gave them the English language. Kenya benefitted from British colonialism. Had the British not arrived the country would still be stuck in the Iron Age.
The worst thing about all this is that the land these people were evicted from is still owned by British Companies.

The present is always a consequence of the past. This is true everywhere. Even in an American city like Boston, a person's wealth is statistically predictable depending on zip code of where they were raised. Likewise , their longevity ,scholastic achievement, drug use, everything, is all connected to their origin.
Some people break the cycles and do not fit the statistics, but it takes many generations to obliterate All vestiges of inequity.
This is equally true for white or black people ,whether you can distinguish their color from the larger background ,or not.
Fifty years is Not a long time, it is not even one full lifetime. It is a parents duty to see to it ,that his children do better than he did.

Fifty years is not a long time for change.
Who told you independence was magic? Who told you that You personally would become rich, your life would be easy and soft? Was it the people who did not wish for independence to happen? Or was it the ones who pushed for it? the ones you sided with.
Should every man or woman be equally wealthy, regardless of what their efforts are? Should only you grow crops and yet I get to eat as much as you?

When Kenyatta snr,Moi,kibaki and now Uhuru are in power their ethnic zealots dont give a fu$%#k about other kenyans...Therefore, we ourselves have to question our character today as far as inequalities are concerned in all aspects of reality.
I love that this cry for equality is so strong around the world!
These things they don't come as a shock to me and there hundreds of them. I leaned all this at school at a very young age at primary level as history, secondary as Africanism, Nationalism and later European history. But for British people they got told different history. Hence some of the comments and ignorance we see. And I don't blame them coz thats how they were told. How were they supposed to know when British burned the books, and rewrite stories for its future generation. Little did British knew that one day the world will be a small village and all stories will be known. Now its up to anybody to judge.
This is true to some extent. It should have been fixed a long time ago. This only forces Kenyans to work harder and embrace more stuff like technology.

In other words the deliberate destabilization of sovereign countries. "While the State exists there can be no freedom; when there is freedom there will be no State" - Lenin (what a nice guy).
Chinese publications such as China Daily will go on and on and on and on about colonialism and the militaristic West. Meanwhile the May Day miltary parades in Moscow, Beijing, Minsk, Havana and Pyongyang are anything but peaceful displays. The West assisted both Russia and China during the 2nd World War as best they could, and despite Roosevelt's naive assumption that Russia would join the free world, both Russia and China persisted with their nihilistic attack on the West with their intent to destroy capitalism, beginning shortly after the end of WW2 with invasions of Korea, Viet Nam, Malaysia and the blockade of Berlin. That is treachory.

This is about acknowledging the atrocities of the colonialists which is a good thing for people to learn, as well as the wrongs done by those who are/were in African leadership. A lot of evil was done by the colonialists and it's about educating people about the truth.

These issues should not be seen as Kenyans not doing what they're are supposed to do. Or any such reductionism. The wrong committed here by BBC, is that they assume British people can do something about it and ought to. They assume British are A] all powerful (which man is never) and B] morally perfect (which again man is not).
There are serious issues that arose during and after Colonisation.
The local kingdoms in India, to take an issue colse to heart, a were systematical destroyed by the British, and later more thoroughly by the leaders of the Central government who followed them into power ( notably Indra Gandhi). We all instinctively feel home in our own language, on such basis India would be many "nations", We, in Kerala, Trivancore dynasty, for example were actually in good terms with the British. And many development programmes which the British felt were needed were initiated with the consent of the King. Our ruler studied in the best schools in Europe and was revered by everyone.( There is lovely documentary made on it ua-cam.com/video/aSt5DzKE4jI/v-deo.html) Compare that with our Democratic leaders who were sometimes illiterate. And ever since the British left, Marxism became rampant. The Democratic State government was established, dethroning the old boy( he's not a Monarch btw the translation from my language wouldn't do). Ever since then it's all we hear about is the Central Government, the "Indian" government, really forging a new Identity, imposing Hindi as the national language against our will. Well who do cry to? Don't you know might is right. I forgot to mention that the cast system broke down in India, and the property owned by the upper castes were taken by the State and given to peasents( very Communist-ish I know!) We all go through stuff. I may merely recall what Germany had to go through after loosing the first world war. People engage in wars, they fight, it's a sad reality. All you can do is straighten up and fly right. The only story here ( not associated with history) is the intention here by the News agency here to cover an archaic specimen of past
I am a big supporter of BLM but even I find this ... reaching? Tearing down statues of slave traders from times past is about many things, especially the acknowledgement of what they have done and how harmful it was. But to then attribute the same idea to a country that has had over a lifetime of freedom from this colonist occupation is damaging. Wake up to the problems that exist today, not before you were born. The problems that exist in Kenya now are about corrupt officials and politics that are entirely your own creation now unfortunately.

I would like to say that BBC says something true here in this report! I made 4 trips to Kenya in the last 4 years. The driver who worked for me workes really hard but still can not make a bare living of his own. His four children (2 still in there childhood) are with their mother. They are small and malnutritioned, growing in the big smoky city of Nairobi. The owner of the vehicle has the lion’s share of the revenue. He earns a bit of allowance and $8-10 salary for driving for a whole day. To get jobs, he has to pay bus fares to look for jobs. He eats very little! He was not paid still for the 21-day hard jobs he did in Meru in 2018 for an American NGO, because the agent refused to pay. The NGO said it was not their fault. The police can not help either. People see them as losers. The agent once worked for Kenya army and is covered by relations. He said he can not find any body or organizations for help. He can not afford to hire a lawyer. The workers later decided to make a peace with the agent first, then wait for next job chance to sack the him. But the agent never gives them jobs any more. OMG! Without real equality on economy, without a strong government working for all the people, so called freedom and democracy are truly knives and stabs! If any one sees my message, I would like to give the telephone number of this driver. Please help him. He is starving. I helped several times though.

Very sad for those people who never realised that the land was already taken, all things the white man was doing he had planned for that. We being divided is our foolishness.
The resistance of the English audience to face what their country has done to the world shows how this discuss is important. Let's face the facts without fear, british people. Here in Brazil we also suffer because of Portuguese colonialism. Most of black people is poor because of it. Be brave. And congrats, BBC!
Blullshit, this all happened long before I was born. I refuse to be repeatedly hit over the head in 2020 for things other people higher up the class system then my ancestors and did to benefit only themselves and others in their class long long ago!

This comment section is hilarious it's like an odd blend of racist Brits and clueless Kenyans. I swear this clip was just made by the BBC to get this fire ass comment section going 😂😂 prolly the best vid the BBC ever made and and not for the content...
On point, these nutjobs are surfacing
On this one you did it with an African-American like other ones were African Americans also but this one was polite to its country and I listen to the words the verbs the nouns the adjectives and the way the sentences were coming out and now I'm going to do the full research it's going to take a lot of time but I believe what you did here was positive
