Why black people seem unable to write books on any subject other than that of being black

- Anybody reading a non-fiction book by a black author cannot help but notice that the subject is unlikely to be medicine, chemistry, physics or anything in fact other than the trials and tribulations of black people. This is odd, because other ethnic groups do not seem to be afflicted by such tunnel vision.
Born of mixed race I’m sick of all the self pity of having black skin. I have found that the black lives matter movement and all the riots, pulling down statues and general violence have caused racial divide. Let’s please get past the colour of our skin and move on.
Go and tell that to the jews and others. We black people have our issues and we are working towards it but are not going to accept to be pulled down by people with a racists agenda. What is the point of this channel if not to denigrate black people? Is the author Simon himself not doing exactly what he is complaining about in all his videos?
Unfortunately the damage over George Floyd has been done and a new divide has opened up. Suspicion is upon us and will take a generation to change but in that time there can be far more severe race baiting happening by the left. I have little hope for peace in England and perhaps we will learn the hard way why ethnic groups form their own nations and destroying a nation is a heinous crime.
@@rexona1178 Simon is highlighting fact. You say black people have issues, what are they? How do you feel black people are being degenerated in the UK? Would be interested to know.

It's too late. Things have gone too far. I see peaceful separation and wholesale repatriation being spoken about more and more.
Jungle drums and shouty sounds every Sunday coming out of the west African cultural centre 300ft from my apt tells me they aren’t here in England to fit in at all.

Even worse is the fiction. I read two of the three books from the "True to the game" series by Teri Woods. It's morally relativistic filth trying to portray drug dealers as sympathetic characters and the police as all corrupt. It's like the author has no sense of objective morality whatsoever.
@LINCOLN PEARSON not even close to a good comparison
@LINCOLN PEARSON and none of them are portrayed as the good guys. What is your point?
they do not have any objective morality, whatsoever. That's why they do not create nor do they maintain.

Blaming others for your own failings is always deeply uncultured.
It's actually extremely puerile and a big fat waste of time.
I've noticed this obsession when watching stand up comedy where there is a black person as the comedian/comedienne since the 80's. It's always centred on their all important obsession 'blackness'. It used to amuse me slightly but the way things are thesedays I find this unhealthy obsession tiresome in the extreme

If you only have a hammer in your toolbox, then everything looks like a nail.
until we had 'black' & woke signalling rammed down out throats, predjudice was disappearing by the year, and has IMHO done so for at least the last half century, but all that has happened recently is people are well sick of it (even right minded black people) to such an extent it's now polarised people who didnt have any opinions before and made things a hell of a lot worse
Obama's two terms in the White House have a lot to do with it. He dragged race relations in his country back to the 1950s, if not the inter-war period.
The George Floyd incident put race relations back 30 years in the UK, because ever since we've had black lives matter etc etc rammed down our throats . I never bothered about race , creed orf colour, now i find myself getting angry every time i see a black face on the TV.
@@englishciderlover7347 Obama didn't talk about race. You need to stop rewriting history, he tried to avoid race questions all together unless it was something positive like the first black President or the little black boy asking to touch his hair.
@@suzygirl1843 If he didn't talk about race (that would be a first for any leftist), how come race relations have regressed from 2009 to the present day? Don't forget that he hates white people (just like you clearly do), even though he's half-white himself.
Give examples of how prejudice was disappearing year on year. And whose experience of racism are you basing your comment on?

Unfortunately, the phenomenon seems to be contagious. I recently had a professional interaction with a young man who by looking at him, you might think his ancestry was anywhere Mediterranean. If he told me his family was from Naples, or Madrid, or Lebanon, it would have been completely believable. Only his name badge gave him away as Pakistani. As we were having a normal pleasant chat about things, the topic of a popular regional tourist destination came up, and he said he could never go there because he was “black”. I almost choked on my coffee! “Dude, you are NOT black, and no-one would care if you were.” But he seemed intent upon jumping on the bandwagon of victimhood.
Well, why are SLAVERY movies profitable to the mainstream white audience? They don't watch black movies like The Best Man, Last Holiday, Don't Be Menace To Society, Set It Off etc. It's the reason why we have diversity quotas now. These fringe brilliant black films aren't mainstream so we have to raceswap or genderswap a character or if its Disney animation make them an animal for 80% of the movie. Black people realized that if they want to sell mainstream they have to mention their black experience. You're not really doing a lot of work here, just complaining.
@@suzygirl1843 I’m not sure what this has to do with my comment. Also, I don’t really watch any movies, so I wouldn’t really know about that. What are “SLAVERY movies”?

And the pure cheek of these people wanting to choose which tourist spots to visit.
I think it was Thomas Sowell who was criticised in a book review with words along the lines of "easy for a rich white guy to say", clearly the critic didn't know the first thing about the author, and notably, if he had actually read the book, the race of the author simply hadn't arisen, which is as it should be in any work other than an autobiography.
Even the mere mentioning of his name is enough to silence any BLM supporters stone dead. They can't handle it. its almost like his name is taboo among the race baiters.
This happened to a black Fox news contributor by the name of David Webb. A CNN analyst accused him of "white privilege" because she assumed his successful background made him white.
2 replies for this comment I can't see them. UA-cam censorship continues.
@@williamdew7143 I believe it was the words of a British reviewer - it's mentioned in one of Douglas Murray's books, if I'm not mistaken.
Thomas Sowell is part of the problem. He doesn't invest in his own community, he's criticizing while nesting in other men's territory. That's weird. Be the change and fund your black schools to think like you otherwise they will receive the government doctrine. Don't Asians got to Asian school after normal school? It's true that black kids were better educated during segregation.
Candace Owens, a wonderful and very intelligent woman, recently stated that you (black people specifically) can be a victim or victor. I'm white and have been the victim of both sexual and racial prejudice when applying for jobs, and I have to say that the people who have treated me the worst are from the alleged "religion of peace", second worst were people of Negro ethnicity. ALL other ethnicities I have ever interacted with treated me as I treated them, with kindness and respect. Blacks in particular, not all, and not many, have a victim mentality which then leads to the idea of reparations and "white man bad". How many of these race-baiting narcissists even know that it was the British who stopped the trade they are constantly being blamed for, while other ethnicities continued enslaving people up to the modern day?
When people talk about slavery I have only to recall stories from my grandparents about working in quarries, factories, mills, in service, and on the land. It was slavery to all intents and purposes and they never earned enough to have anything other than a hard life of grinding poverty and hunger. That's ignoring the fact that all societies since the Mesopotamians have involved a slave culture. Adding all the non-white societies together would probably leave whites as the minority of slave owning races.
I've never gauged myself by my sex (gender is a social construct, ironic that), skin colour, or even coming form a poor working class background. I'm me. I'm responsible for me and my life, not somebody long dead.

You have hit the nail on the head here, I stopped listening to radio London because the black presenters talked almost exclusively about racism or black history month or black this and that. I used to sit there listening to their tales of woe and the perceived injustices they were suffering knowing all to well how just about every council in the country, institutions and work places are bending over backwards to appease and positively encourage black and other ethnic minorities, for example my local council gave exclusive funding to persons of colour to be put on a licenced black London Taxi training course this funding was not available to a white colleague I used to work with who wished to become a licenced black taxi driver in London and had to fund the training himself.
You should watch GB news And talk radio I find them too be very racist you Might like them better

A quote from Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani
My great-grandfather Nwaubani Ogogo Oriaku. Nwaubani Ogogo was a slave trader who gained power and wealth by selling other Africans across the Atlantic. “He was a renowned trader,” my father told me proudly. “He dealt in palm produce and human beings.”
Long before Europeans arrived, Igbos enslaved other Igbos as punishment for crimes, for the payment of debts, and as prisoners of war
Be careful Orpheus, those African-Americans will be coming after you for 'reparations'...
@@MrGraemeb2022 Where do we get our repations, We have been invaded by Romans, Saxons,Vikings and Normans and have also been enslaved by the ruling class here in Britain.
This. Black Africans are the oldest slave traders in history. But it goes against the popular narrative . Keep spreading the word. Millionaire Black slave trader families live today in the uk snd France . Everyone knows, no one talks about it.
They have always been the cause and reason of thrir own downfall. They were called muqaddam by the berber and arab traders - it means facilitator and friend.

@@orpheus5995 And significant numbers of Irish, Cornish and Devon people were captured by marauding Muslim Barbary pirates and sold off in the slave markets of North Africa. Rarely mentioned or taught in schools when teaching kids about the 'Slave trade', or 'black history month'. Why am I not surprised?
Having an open mind about this subject, I just visited a website entitled '62 great books by black authors'. After skimming through a few dozen of the synopses, I have to agree. The great majority are about black or minority concerns. Even the fiction books inevitably feature black main characters.
You should write about what you know, surely?
Funny that, isn't it?
I also find similarities in the entertainment industry. How many black comedians centre their act on anything other than racial content?
By contrast, comedians like Dave Allen and Billy Connolly, in their differing styles, got a lot of material from the absurdities in life. That type of stuff is more or less universal.
My blk ass.....brothers......sistas......the obsessive racial self referencing. I've noticed the absurdity of this phenomena since the 80s. How ridiculous would it be for whites to mirror the behaviour - my wht ass........brothers......sistas....and smack lips at all others.

They even use it to sell sausages - in the case of The Black Farmer (TM)

TV commercials have a similar problem; they're unable to produce an advert that doesn't contain at least one black person or mixed race family in an 85% white country. We can only wonder why.
not just the telly, even YT ads seem to be over the top "wokeism"

Theres a big market in selling victimhood today. Its not just racial but national and even regional. The Irish lap it up. The Scots want a piece of the action too. Even Scousers are notorious for it. Certain groups get sold a "poor hard done to me" mentality.
Not everyone buys it but some are more susceptible to it. Blacks certainly are, but funnily enough some certain African nationalties seem quite resistant to it. African Americans and Carribbeans are the worst by far.
Victimhood is a status symbol today. Whereas decades or centuries ago people would be disgusted by such wanton displays of pathetic self-pitying and weakness its big business today.
A sign of the weakness and decay of humanity. What can you expect when people believe tolerance, the ability to put up with something you dont actually want to, is seen as a virtue.
I'd disagree with your characterization of the Irish. We absolutely have a right to teach our history, which consists of English wars and subjugation of national territory, religion and language. But today people recognise most of our problems stem from contemporary political events. Now, in response to systematic discrimination in the 6 Counties, some Republican boyos fought against the English authorities there, gave them a taste of their own medicine 💊 and you'll STILL hear some English whinging about Canary Wharf, Warrington, Guildford, Aldershot. Build a bridge and get over it, guys! 😏
@@martanoconghaile You'll find that the 'English' authorities are extremely anti-English. England hasn't been ruled by Anglo-Saxons since thee Battle of Hastings. The Normans took over then and, to this day, form the core of the titled class, which has never made any attempt to become English. If we don't even rule our own country, our chances of ruling someone else's country are about zero.
Don't forget the ruling class in London has included a disproportionately high number of Scots from the day that James VI became James I of England.
If you're aware of anyone in the British Parliament who's ever been pro-England, please let the rest of us know.
@@martanoconghaile Of course youd disagree because you dont like being called out for it. Your peoples achievements are pathetic. You whinge about the EUROPEAN potato blight as if it didnt exist beyond the borders of Ireland and pretend the English prevented your entire population from fishing under the threat of death. A vast majority of Irish are ready to launch into a tirade of victimhood at the drop of a hat as you yourself just proved. Just like African Americans.
Fact is the Irish by and large are truly plagued by self pitying sense of victimhood.

Five hundred years ago Portugal was about the poorest nation in Europe, yet the Portuguese were about the most go-getting people outside of Italy. They were building sailing ships called caravels by applying peasants' hand tools to natural materials, and they were using these ships to explore and trade literally around the world. The ship engineering, navigation, astronomy, mapmaking, logistics, financing and insurance behind this project must have made a huge cognitive demand on the Portuguese, but they managed to pull it off.
So why aren't Sub-Saharan Africans doing something similar now? After all, they should have it easier because they have the internet, GPS navigation on their smart phones and access to modern tools, materials and fossil fuels, especially in Nigeria. We should be seeing African-designed and -built ships crossing the Atlantic and showing up in America's East Coast ports.
Portugal was invaded by the Moores who were black people the ships you refer to were Arab ships made and designed by Arabs.
@@Guitar6ty So why didn't the Moors colonize South America and open up trade routes to East Asia by sailing not only around Africa, but also by sailing around South America and crossing the Pacific?

Where did you get the information that Portugal was "about the poorest nation in Europe"? Medieval Portugal was not wealthy but not quite the poorest, there were poorer Iberian kingdoms than Portugal - Iberia's vert first nation-state. I'm skeptical. As a Portuguese national, I think you're missing the fact that the "ship engineering, navigation, astronomy, mapmaking, logistics, financing and insurance" that you so rightly mention did not come out of nowhere seeing as the medieval Portuguese benefited greatly from islamic science and knowledge, had a centralized government with an insignificant feudal system, and planted vast forests they later chopped down and turned into caravels to kick off the Age of Discoveries. What I mean was that Portugal was a diamond in the rough, had the potential, it was not some kind of tabula rasa - like Sub-Saharan Africa - prior to its venture into little-known waters.
My youngest son had curly strawberry blond hair as a child, plenty of people, particularly children would comment and often touch his hair. I never thought it remarkable, it was beautiful and people where intrigued by it.
I think its very common if someone have beautiful or special hair you want to touch it. When I was a child I had long beautiful blond hair. When the sun was shining it looked like a golden fall, I often felt people touch or comment it.It really didnt bother me, people were kind.
I think people miss the obvious: wanting to sell the most books. Here in America, there are many “woke” white people who will publicize and buy this type of book (if you’ve never heard of Ta-Nehisi Coates, the man made a great living off of this audience.)
Let’s say you’re black and sharp: do you write an obscure book nobody will read or do you write a “black story” that at least some whites will buy? If you’re writing primarily for money, I’d bet the marketers/publishers want a “black story.”
The race grift is insanely lucrative. I get the impression that the most prominent writers don't believe a word of what they say, but know it fills their pockets.
Look up Thomas Sowell
Nah, this is a cope. You think writing Harry Potter or Twilight ain't lucrative lol? Black people could - hypothetically - just write popular books (fiction or otherwise), if money was the only factor. Woke crap isn't the *only* crap that sells.

Young Coleman Hughes tells the story of growing up in a rich black neighborhood, being a nerd, and going off to study philosophy at Columbia... his neighbor, academically equal to him, decided to sell drugs out of his garage and take up the cool black drug dealer life. His point was that even in the same environment, some people just chose stupid paths in life. The neighbor kid is in jail now, if I remember right.
Coleman Hughes is a fantastic role model for young people.
When I was young, there was a fair chance that the doctors or nurses in hospitals would be black, mostly West Indians. Invariably, these people would be cheerful, friendly and very good at their job. They were not in any way obsessed with the fact of their colour or their origins. Sadly, nowadays this would probably not be the case.
On the other hand, I have worked with colleagues who were black, Asian, oriental, Middle Eastern, or even white. They included Sikhs, Hindus, Muslim, Jewish and Christian. I have never met anyone who was in any way obsessed with their racial origins. Maybe the problem is with the minority in the public eye and on TV or in the press, rather than all the perfectly decent individuals one meets in everyday life?

Within a few minutes of being sat down she wanted to leave because there were too many white people in the room and it made her feel uncomfortable. No comments, looks or the type sent her way, she was merely projecting her own racist thoughts (against herself/skin colour) onto the people around her. I believe it's because she was indoctrinated at an early age (by her parents and family) that white people in society are against her, which might have been the case in the time of those doing the indoctrinating but is not the case now. Hopefully as a few more generation pass, current/modern reality will overtake the indoctrination of the past and we can all move on with our lives.

There are some. Thomas Sowell has written multiple books on economics and politics. He talks about race, but only to debunk the modern notion of what he calls 'Race hustlers'. There's also a black scientist called Neil Tyson who writes a lot of science books. They probably would have made more money and achieved wider fame if they'd just written a sob story about 'racism'.
I immediately thought of these two as well
While Sowell is often brilliant, I wouldn't regard Tyson as being in the same intellectual category. He is absolutely qualified in his field, and naturally well above average cognitively, but has made a number of stupid and ignorant assertions in the past when deviating from that subject. One of his most famous was implying that because of the level of genetic variation in Africa, the world's smartest man is more than likely a sub-Saharan African. This is obviously ridiculous, but does prove that the man is far from genius level intellect, yet he is among the very best they have to offer, seemingly.
Tyson is a pompous ass tho.
It's wonderful how Sowell has debunk the so called "ganster" urban black american culture, by tracking back to it's roots, white poor people of 19th century.
The exceptions that prove the rule.

As someone who has experienced prejudice due to my visual impairment, I could wax lyrical on this subject, but:
I'd actually rather allow people to forget that I've no sight, and should I eveer write a book it'll probably be related to one of these subjects; Music, Software design, mechanical engineering or the Middle Ages. It most definitely won't be on the subject of visual impairment.
I see that same mindset whenever I ask an average black person what music they like/listen to. They seem to listen to black music almost exclusively. I get the impression that if I told them The Beatles was a black band, they'd run out an get the entire catalog.
There are quite a few "reaction" channels on UA-cam, mostly by black people who are reacting to music from the 60s to 90s generally - and it is interesting to see them being exposed to music by white artists, and also to see that black artists were also popular - because it's about the music, not the skin colour.
I notice this even with usernames on UA-cam and other sites, how many times I'll see the usernames Black something or other but you never see this obsession for other races. Also hashtags like 'blackgirlmagic' and the like, again no other groups do this stuff.

Being black never stopped the late Walter Williams or Thomas Sowell from succeeding in life. And they lived through times when it certainly could have done so.
Two years ago, Penguin-Random House gave a shout out to would-be black authors. They were asking that if you were black, had written a book but had not yet found a publisher, then, Penguin-Random House was the publishers for you. Only stipulation was that you had to be black. This item was brought to my attention via the release of Meghan Markle's book, The Bench. Well, seeing that she's black (that's what she classes herself as nowaday's), she used them as her publisher for her effort that can now be found in the 99p bins up and down the land. An aside- Meghan Merkle classed herself as 'Caucasian' on all her work CV's back in the day when she was trying to get work in the film/tv industry. Strange but true and her CV is available online to view. Then again at a mere 5'5", she also stated that she was a 'Supermodel'. Dearie, dearie me!
Markle is a race grifter. She is a mixed race who presents as white and enjoyed bring white snd only dated white men. Nothing but a tarty starlet.
Megan would pass for a Spaniard or Greek she some how thinks classing her self as black gives her superpowers 😂😂😂😂
@@williamdew7143 The CEO of PRH, Tom Weldon has written a good few interesting articles on 'our commitment to inclusivity' (see Google - June 2020. ) PRH were donors to Black Lives Matter movement and he clearly states in the article that after doing numerous surveys within the company, he wishes to employ more black people. He was denied the opportunity to change the images on book covers that previously depicted the protagonist as white. He wished to have black protagonists to help encourage black readers. The survey is quite eye opening as it gives stats on their readership throughout the world based on skin colour. Authors by skin colour. Characters in book based on skin colour. Well, I leave the above in your capable hands to peruse at leisure.
It's because of authors like Jordan Peterson and JK Rowling that penguin can indulge a bunch of other untalented writers like this, and pay for a global business. It's charity work, really. People are polite and indulge it, but everyone knows this, even if they won't say it out loud.

Morning Mr. Simon.
Greetings from NJ, USA 🇺🇸
Good morning!
One of the new internet phenomena is the number of "reaction videos" posted on UA-cam, mostly by black adults, who somehow have never heard very well known musical performers and their classic songs. Many of them have no clue about the Beatles, the Bee Gees, Kenny Rogers, the Everly Brothers, Elvis Presley, etc. One might think that would be impossible--except when one realizes that most of the contemporary black experience is entirely about blackness. Indeed, the evidence would indicate that most blacks have little regard for anything beyond the confines of their own narrow culture. It's all rather sad, really.
This phenomenon is possibly the result of filtering and promotion at the level of publishing. That is, the publishing houses and universities, in a kind of "benevolent" racism, seem always to want to pigeonhole black authors into the "Black Author" category. There are black authors who write about things in which race is not a topic: Thomas Sowell, although he has written about racial issues, has written numerous works in which race has no part. Furthermore, you would not know what his race is by reading his works. Another auther is linguist Johnathon McWhorter, who wrote a great book about the myth that different languages cause different gorups to see the world radically differently. I had no idea he was black when I bought and read the book. I only learned this after being so impressed with it and looking him up; the same with Sowell. Anyway, I think this funneling of black authors and intellectuals into the "Black Person" role can most easily be seen in politics: "Black Person" is supposed to hold certain views, to talk about those views and nothing else all the time, and, more or less, to embody those ideas in their identity. Blacks who do not fit this stereotype are simply ignored or even attacked as not really black. One of the results of this is to cause more racial tension since most of the black personalities presented to white audiences are cosntantly harping on about racism and such things.
Well said. Lest we forget that at the heart of all this is a burgeoning, largely _white_ controlled grievance industry that encourages, if not wilfully induces, discontent amongst certain, ‘preferred’ social demographics. Not least for the cynical purposes of self-perpetuation and acquiring power of course.
True, some black authors are merrily complicit in predicating their work and their talent on race but others are no doubt patronisingly ‘guided’ down that insidious path by ideologically-compromised publishers. The latter are no doubt insistent that such subject matter is highly commercial (it isn’t in most cases) and that anything else from a budding author with a fashionably dark skin has little chance of support…
Such condescending attitudes are of course dripping in Guardian-tier racial bigotry but sadly many aspiring ethnic minority authors are just too ambitious and too bereft of self-respect to refrain from being treated as a glorified trained pet, performing to order. :(
Instead of 'benevolent' racism, you often see the phrase 'racism [or bigotry] of low expectations'.
A while ago I watched a video about the bright and intellectual students graduating from high school in Africa. They were asked what plans they had for the future by a show of hands and asked 'How many seek work with the Aid agencies?' and 80% raised their hands. Few sought for other fields of work or higher education. This came as a surprise to me.
Therefore perpetuating the need and abundance of aid in the continent rather than work their way to a self sufficiency with business and solutions to help their own people.
Rather than teach a man how to fish, teach a man how to make the rod or nets or boats or anything else that can generate wealth. Better still how to think and create.
Actually, I suspect if you asked the same thing to Students in the West a large portion would say they wouls want to work for government or international agencies. The Globalists have pushed their agenda everywhere and working for globalist ideals is now considered a moral good, plus you technically become one of them with a job for life. You will be taken care of.
50 years ago most kids wanted a job outside government because it offered more opportunities. Today, if you want a hope of living a decent financial life, you want to be employed by the government.
The racism of low expectations.
Treat people as if they are wholly dependent on your charity and they will become unable to live without it.
They didn't create, invent or build. No knowledge of the wheel despite north africans snd arabs being nearby. It's difficult to teach them how to think to create - they have to live in a white majority country to be introduced to 'curiosity and experimenting'.
@Stanly Stud don't feed the wild animals. It's cruel.
Aid is "Free money with no work or expectations", so it is an ideal source for helping friends (Corruption).
Two things. That Being Black is now a matter for academic pursuit says much about contemporary academia.
I have reached the conclusion that if being black in Britain is so problematic for some people, they should show the courage of their ancestors and move to somewhere they believe life will be better. Our government should encourage such a move, rather as it did in the mid 20th century when it collaborated with Australia and New Zealand to help Britons to emigrate there.

“We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind.” Those are the words which Marcus Garvey spoke in either October or November 1937.
Surprisingly (or not) it was Marcus Garvey that wrote that the Bolsheviks vandalized his ships. Obviously, they did not want African Americans leaving America as they had a plan for them. Americans really have no idea what went on behind the scenes to destroy America. Here we are nearly one 100 years later and the damage is still being intentionally inflicted onto us.

I don't think she has any art history background, it's purely on her public profile, which began a few years ago with this book and lots of publicity through the state broadcaster, RTÉ. The vast majority of Blacks in Ireland are from Nigeria, only a quarter or so came by way of VISA (usually to work in the healthcare sector), the rest asylum seekers who travelled first through Britain (often residing there several years and sometimes with pronounced London accents).

Just like stand up comedy - white comedians CAN'T joke about race, so cover all kinds of topics like marriage, money, kids, politics - you name it. But 9 times out of 10, whenever I see a black comedian, it's always about being black, with plenty of jokes at the expense of other races, creeds and colours.
Lenny Henry is one such so-called comedian who keeps racism alive by regularly mentioning the black slave trade and the ‘black & white minstrels’. Whenever he’s on tv I mute him. He’s just not funny.
Being black, they're immune to criticism or 'cancellation'; it's racism, but one can't - dare not - point out the obvious.

Zanta, I've got to hand it to you - you're spot on. All black comics talk of race, race, race and it bores me endlessly. There's a comic by the name of Stephen K Amos. Now, not only is he black but he's bloody gay, so what's his spiel? Yip, you've got it. It's homosexuality and being a poor, ill treated black. He gets switched off super quick.
@@lisaamber1566 Lisa, he must be kicking himself for ever stooping so low as to be on the Black and White Minstrels show. It was clearly his choice.

This is something a lot of us have noticed. It's like when you see black people who are obsessed with ancient Egyptians or the Moors, yet their apparent interest hinges solely on a misguided belief that their blackness has some deeper hidden connection to it rather than a genuine fascination and appreciation of a subject as an outside observer, something they seem incapable of.
Is that the reason why so many Eurocentric authors of the 19 CENTURY tried to make the Egyptians and Moors white throughout history! The audacity of you to make this statement when all white people have ever done was try to make themselves the EGYPTIANS!! GTFOH!!
Fantastic question and I’ve wondered the same thing for years. I’ve had two black friends that obsessed about race. They could go buy a jacket and link it to oppression if some sort. They were pretty unhappy people for the most part, highly neurotic. Racism does exist but when you get to the point where you see everything through a racial lens - it literally creates the problem you are wishing to solve .
I have to admit there's a small army of black 'academics' whose sole field seems to be the implications of blackness and perpetuating the notion EVERYTHING in the UK is prejudicial towards black people. They get called up for TV interviews with monotonous regularity, and they are almost without exception monumentally ridiculous and massive pains in the arse. One of these criticised the recent govt study claiming that institutional racism essentially doesn't exist here partly on the basis 'it plays different ethnic minorities against each other'. Among other things the report looked at how well or not different ethnic groups were progressing in the UK. Of course if there were significant differences between them it would strongly indicate that racism wasn't a significant factor unless somehow it was a very selective form of racism which doesn't make sense. Of course the study did show differences between the various minorities, big ones I imagine such as that the children of West African immigrants are out performing Afro Caribbean (and white) kids in school. So this 'academic' didn't like it due to her politics NOT inadequate research, in fact it was BECAUSE of its legitimacy. Maggie Aderine-Pocock who co-presents The Sky at Night is a breath of fresh air. Having a high profile black academic/researcher - that clearly isn't a token 'diversity' placement, but is there on merit - is genuinely wonderful and a fantastic thing to see. Her or anybody's skin colour becomes totally irrelevant, it's her intelligence, enthusiasm and pleasant personality that matters. The toxic 'academics' of black studies are themselves drivers of ill feeling, resentment and splitting communities. It's hard going, but I would really recommend forcing yourselves to watch through this painful video - ua-cam.com/video/BGPgI6kpsys/v-deo.html
I think it's fair to say that Maggie Aderin-Pocock is a highly qualified physicist and engineer (though not an astrophysicist). I think it's equally fair to say that given what we know about the BBC, she almost certainly got the job on The Sky at Night because she's a woman and black.
This obsession holds them back as well. Other races are getting tired of this obsession and hurting how they are perceived.
I have to say that, although Thomas Sowell does cover race, he does not ever play the victim. He is one of my favourite economists, near or equal to Milton Friedman.
His book, Basic Economics, taught me more about the subject than the two years I spent in business school.
I yearn for the day when we can judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

I am prompted to ask what kind of books get published. It has previously been discussed on this channel that, despite being a historian, David Olusoga's books push a false narrative that his publishers have ignored. Publishing is a business and books only make it into print if they are expected to make money. Publishers see black victimhood as a nice little earner and black writers are happy to churn out more race grifting tomes.
Olusogo has only a slight tan and works hard on his scruffy ethnic hair style,but it puts him pretty well at the top of race grifters!!!
@@madcarew5168 It's funny how the worst of the race grifters and the ones with the biggest chips on their shoulders are mixed race. Olusoga is fine featured and in real life is not particularly dark skinned. If it wasn't for the whinging and moaning I wouldn't know he was (partially) black.
Explain poetry then. But yes. It's a business. Not a charity.

A long time ago l had my hair cut by a young , Brit black woman. Within minutes she was talking about racism and how l didn't understand because l was white. The salon owner shot her a look to shut up when he was aware that she was obviously sounding off again. Long time ago but l still remember it. Only went in for a hair cut!
Easy for me to say it after the event I know, but you should have told her to shut up and get on with cutting your hair and if she wanted to talk talk about the weather or where you were going on Holiday, failing that just get up and end the cut there and then.
I'm 100% white and it never crosses my mind about my ethnicity, never in my life have I wanted treated in any particular manner because I'm white. Yet black people constantly tell me that they are black and want to be treated different, funny thing tho is if you treat them differently they call you a white racist... can't win really lmao
There is a communist tactic called "consciousness-raising" is the training of blacks to hate whites (or hate the other) It's used in other places, among feminists, gay rights groups etc. To generate anger, the anger can be used for the political purpose of dividing and tearing down the country.

I think we are getting to some truth here. black activists are currently going through writings and books by many prominent author and thinkers from years and years ago and nitpicking their way through them to find "anti racist" statements or thoughts. all it needs is just one word or very short phrase that meets with their disapproval, and the person's whole work, often their life's work is dismissed and they are cancelled. it is then declared that they do not have to learn this stuff and another educational opportunity is lost. if it goes on like this, we will be left with nothing but Marxism and black culture.
It’s laziness, racial hatred born of spite and jealousy and utter self absorption and entitlement.
Tony Thompson - Outlaws and Gangland. Two excellent books in my extensive library. Thoroughly enjoyable and informative.
Possible reasons for all this:
1. As the economy of the USA tanks, people seek explanations as to why the "American Dream" has bypassed them. As marco-economic explanations are taboo in the USA, the "victim" narrative provides an easily digestible answer to one's lack of accomplishment.
2. Being a "victim" is so fashionable now that one can make a highly profitable profession out of it. Your work can be based largely on anecdote, without the need for difficult research andrational debate.
3. Your work will never be criticised by the media,.or academiia.due to the career destroying fear of the critic being labelled a "racist."
4. Indeed, the left-leaning middle classes (virtually the whole of academia and the media) will fight over themselves to be the one to praise the "depth," the "sincerely" and "profundity* of your expressed feelings.
Easy-peasy!
And no one will still not admit "go woke, go broke" this is why America's economy is nose diving under Biden. Britain is to follow, then the EU. Remember, America sneezes, UK and the EU catch the cold. All to come, unless something drastically changes in America.

"this is something they will have to deal with", unfortunately every other ethnicity living with them will all be burdened with that chore, they will expect everyone else around them to trouble themselves with their failures.
There is one group, who despite constant messaging that they feel "under attack" and "have low self-confidence," seems to consistently have the highest levels of racial consciousness and self-esteem, yet seem to complain about "oppression" and navel-gaze a disproportionate amount.
The early European African explorers observed “ high self- esteem” as one of their traits. Every trait they wrote about we see today in the West. Makes a good case for genetics.
Well observed and something I've never thought quite in this way before.
It's a world that we have somehow invented, the the world of victimhood, By being a victim you are excused all and any faults and any negativity in your life is the fault of someone or something else.

To summed up in two words..
'Shoulder' & 'Chip'
As an author struggling to find a voice for many years-- I can tell you that no one is interested (in the publishing world) in us apart from our story as Black ppl.
I'm not that young but I'm not that old either. When I was in college I thought all the great books about being Black had already been written-- giving me the freedom and space to write about other things. Actually had a college (white) professor confront me about why I didn't write more about my heritage. Under pressure I wrote a piece for our college literary journal. Personally I think it is one of my most mediocre offerings-- yet it was my most popular piece.
Simply put I think the adults around me fetishized my race and created meaning in the colour of my skin where there was none. I grew up rather upper middle-class in the suburbs. Was rather mild mannered and even tempered. Not the top of my class but far from the bottom. In other words... painfully average. I didn't feel right appropriating a version of Black culture that didn't align with my actual "lived experiences". Furthermore; i was under the impression that the world wanted more from me as a Black person. I was wrong.
For a while I thought my inability to relate to the stereotypical Black "struggle" narrative meant that I couldn't be a writer. That was also wrong. I'm having another go at it but this time I'm writing anonymously under a pseudonym. I could write about a ton of things besides being Black! Now I am free to write about what I really like which is tech (historical, present, future); commerce; and art.
Good luck. I hope you make it.

@@williamdew7143 I'm saddened my gentle humour offended rather than amused you but I suspect that just down to different generations.
As for Jim Gates as a theoretical physicist specialising in SUPER - symmetry , gravity and string theory I'm afraid I view that up there with Astrology ....... the work of the devil.
Thomas Sowell writes about history and economics.
Nowadays , everything is being classed as racism. They tried at College the other day to give us CPD on unconscious bias ( a known CRT training-which is illegal in UK) however, when anything challenged it was dragged back to racism. I.E. we were shown three photos, a Muslim Woman, a White Girl, and a Black teenager. We were asked what job we thought they did. Then were told that our answers were close enough to their narrative, to claim we only thought what we did because we are racist. even sitting together made us racist - although the four Black people all sat next to each other, that is acceptable? They claimed that White people think black people are always late, ten minutes into training, a black teacher turned up! She did not apologies, however the trainer made an excuse on their behalf? I must confess then my unconscious rasism is what makes me like John Holt's music, Morgan Freeman as an actor (as a child I liked Sidney Poitier films) All the books 'recommended' were by black authors and included the above, and "Why I no longer talk to white people about racism" All CRT training manuals.
They had never heard of Thomas Sowell (another person whom I follow).
@Automotive.3, I wish I had been there when the black teacher turned up late! I would have died laughing.
I attended unconscious bias training under the heading of diversity training in the NHSBT, we were also shown videos photos of minority groups, and showed the dangers of hurting feelings of only these "minority groups". The same hurt feelings which could and do apply to all groups. When trying to make this point you were seen as being "racist".
Unconscious bias is not sound science. It is not a measure of r. Even the social psychologists who came out with the concept admit that the outcomes of unconscious bias testing do not translate into actual prejudiced attitudes and behaviors that can be measured in the real world.
Yet, the grifters who promote w guilt run away with it. The r grievance industry is making bank, hence the show must go on. Profits before facts. A certain movement recently made over 90 millions from w guilt in America. They used the monies to buy large mansions for themselves.
This whole business is just like the Catholic Church enriching itself through the sale of indulgences (forgiveness for sins) before the Protestant Reformation exposed and ended the rotten practice.
I am black and follow Thomas Sowell just as i follow Jordan Peterson and Douglas Murray.
Thanks for speaking truth. In the mist of an all out war on truth. Love your channel and I have much respect for you. Ty
Funny how I own the second two books he held up, but I've never even seen the first one.
For the record, I do own several titles from Neil DeGrasse Tyson also.
Neil Degrasse tyson 😆😂😂🙆🏻♂️😩
Shouldn't the thumbnail say " who's making UP black history in 2021"
There's a lot of candidates for that .
Interesting observation. There are of course exceptions, but seems the same with many black stand up comedians, black musicians and even black chefs etc. They are rarely just successful and coincidentally black, whatever they do is closely tied to thier black identity.
The only black comedian I have seen is dian abbot, she is hilarious check her out
@WHITES LOVE MY PLAYLISTS To a degree yeh! Although its not necessarily a negative. In some ways its good to have a strong sense of identity and group belonging.
On the other it seems pretty limiting to have everything in your life so closely tied to your race... how you vote, what you eat, how you dress, what music you listen to etc (on average)!
Funny and so very true. I know personally of one such Black female that wrote "one" book. Somehow her first book ever written was a NYT best seller before it had even been seen by the public. The publisher gave her a rather large chunk of cash before even one book had been published. And yes she wrote a races centered book and claimed she was oppressed too.
