They love of the few quite ppl in my school n when I tell u a few days ago this everyone was at the bus stop about 3 busses went past for what cause we “loud n ghetto”
You lot need to stop the hypocrisy tho, talking like only blacks suffered in school. In my school, London, UK. the popular people..were actually mostly the black people, the ones with reputation. The ones you knew you could not mess with cause you get roasted 😁. Acting like only white people are racist.. honestly, I think blacks are more racist than white people. My input
@byblis persephone lmao yes!! anytime the topic of Camilla comes up my mom got nothing nice to say about her. Shes not even a child of God in my moms eyes lmao
I’ll never forget when I was put in isolation for having black and blonde box Braids ( because it was deemed unnatural) but my white peers were allowed to happily come in with their bright red hair kmt
I fully fully hâte wyt teachers sometimes, this same shit happens in my school my friend isn’t allowed her red braids when Caucasians have had pink hair. Okay Mrs Smith
One girl in my high school was getting told off for having red hair and at the time I had black and purple box braids and she said to the teacher "well she's got purple hair tell her to get rid of it" and they pulled me out of lesson next period telling me i had to take the purple out or be put in isolation, so i took out my fresh purple braids and they left the girl with the red hair !!!!
I had boxbraids which was black to brown and they told me that if I didn't take then out I wouldn't be able to 'socialise' with others ...whilst there's bitched walking around with green ,purple hair
one of my friends had red and black box braids, (it wasn't even bright lol) and they put her in isolation and told her to take it out soon or else she'll stay there for the rest of the week. then there was this white girl, (blue eyes and all 😭) with BRIGHT FUCKING PINK HAIR and she never got in trouble. some of the teachers even complimented her 🤦🏽♀️. likeeee i was angry for my girlie lol. some of these teachers need to gooo
Yeahhh and so many white people during lockdown got their hair dyed different colours and one of my black friends got black to blue box braids and was told to put them in a bun because the blue wasn’t suitable for school. 1. You can still clearly see the blue and a bun makes 0 difference 😭😭 2. Our uniform is primarily blue/navy and teachers are crying about blue hair instead of light bright greens and red streaks kmt 🤣🤦🏾♀️
It's even worse when there's people behind you waiting for the same bus and it just zooms past you even though you put your hand out and asking them to stop and the people behind you just look at you😭😭😭
GotAFedInAHeadLock lmao it’s basically an expression used to convey something ridiculous or unbelievable I’m pretty sure we all got from our black aunties/moms 😭😭 It’s just “child” but pronounced like “chaald” or just “chahl”
The way my history teachers back would turn and look at me when he taught slavery and mentions Nigeria... i just stare at him like OGA CAN I HELP YOU ?
It’s sad cos I’m my year there’s only three other black girls so obviously we all stick together but even in my school we have barely any black people and then there’s another secondary down the road ish from mine who seem to have bare black students and were alone 😔😭
omdd there were three black kids in my history class including myself and CONVENIENTLY during black history we all sat in the same part of the classroom. the teacher would just turn his head a lil bit whenever he would mention Ghana, Nigeria, Jamaica ... as innnn are you okay sir 💀💀
Babes even in South Africa these teachers are STRUGGLING with African names 🙈🙈🙈. In a whole AFRICA babes, you're on the continent and still can't say my name? Whew shem abelungu, they never miss 🤣🤣🤣🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Kat B British is just a nationality so saying black brit would mean you’re a black person who was born/raised in the U.K. it’s not that deep. If you’re from Australia or Norway you’d be a black Aussie or black Norwegian.
If you think about it only kids would ask. Teachers/ adults never asked and i grew up in the late 90s in UK. With kids its a lack of knowledge. Ive lived here in Australia for a couple of years and im still learning about asian countries and Pacific islands and make mistakes in naming things/ saying things which may come off as ignorant to some. But i fess up and try again.
It's sad, we just here trying to exist but it seems like there's no place in the world where we are treated well all the time and where our skin isn't the only thing people pay attention to, there's always something... Why does the world favor white or light skin... What's so praise worthy about it

I didn’t watch roots in history but in English my class didn’t watch mice and men either, since we were set 1 my teacher made us read it so I sat there, the only black in my class, listening uncomfortably for weeks on end as people were forced to say negro because “it’s part of the curriculum”, and people staring at me cos of it 😭
@@Theresa_A4 I grew in NAIROBI and I can relate to some of these experiences. Crazyyyy how the black experience is so similar worldwide because of how anti-black the world is
People constantly trying to 'match-make' me and the only other black person in my year group even though we had NOTHING in common other than the fact we were both black!
I moved to the uk late and everyone assumed i couldn't speak or read or write in english. They tried to get me an interpreter, they kept complimenting my "good" english, it was so freaking annoying. Like my people didn't go through years of british rule for my English skills to be doubted, like wtf
Oh my gosh, thannk you. The whole 5 years i spent in school, whenever the lights turned off my stomach sank. Till this day i get uncomfortable in the dark 😩😩😩
When I was at school, I told my friend to pause, jump a bit and let out a little scream or yelp. Then say *"F***, I thought I saw a ghost...".* She said it worked like a charm.
Struggles of being black in the uk - when those caucasian people , mainly boys , would try talking AfRiCaN :/ -today my science teacher, he’s white /british, was doing an ‘African’ accent saying eh eh the way I cringed Lord 🤧
Oh dear God don’t even get me started on drama lessons in lower school, you have to change your accent to show a certain level of skill and knowledge and these boys would always try and do “Nigerian accent” getting praised for it by the teachers, I’m stood there like wtf 🤣 They’re never remotely close either 🤦🏾♀️😭
I remember people would get checked - their bags, blazers and had to walk through a scanner thing, if they found your comb you were never seeing it again
Before anyone says how u laughing bout racism but claim it to be a serious issue, for the most part as a people as it pertains to our experience we find ways to laugh about it as it enables us to deflect from the harsh reality that at times we are not taken seriously or given the same respect as other communities 🙏🏾✊🏾❤️
i was literally thinking the same thing. how black and minority people can come together and make light out of something really really bad. it's sort of therapeutic. not saying every black and brown person get along with each other but it creates this weird sense of unity.
@Negus Naruto Latin and Asian people. Cos they have some similarities with the Black experience regarding racism. And again before u come for me I emphasis the words SOME similarities
unknownnn 101 both of those communities have serious racist/colourist views as well tho. Even more embarrassing because they only like to appreciate black culture when it suits them
As much as I died from laughter from this video, it's sad to think that this happens in so many countries that now we are forced to accept it as "this is normal because of the colour of our skin", which is so crazy to think about..
Never forget having to study to kill a mockingbird for english gcses and my irish teacher used to say the n word with a hard -er and bullied my classmates who would refuse to say the word when reading the text out loud to the whole class 💀💀
Omds I feel you, we did move and men and our teacher only asked the white ooo to say it. There was one person that just skipped out it and our teacher made them go back and read it out and even felt the need to help them ‘pronounce it correctly’. Racism is so prevalent in Ireland it’s sad
being black in british schools is a wholeee nother difficultly in itself ,, thanks for bringing light to this nella i don’t want the next generation going through this bs😭
@NXVI my mum said when she went to school, africans would hide the fact that they were african. they would be like im from barbados and change their name to tyrone instead 😭.
Traditional Nella layout, we love to see it 🤩, it's iconic and nostalgic, makes me want to binge watch the rest. Where is NEHI!!!!!! i miss the guy on her channel 😍😍😍
I hate how teachers mix up all the black peoples names like we all look alike , but they can somehow tell the difference between all the other white people ~ Damn I didn’t know this comment blew up 😭 it’s like all of us black people have had the same childhood 🤣
It’s worse when you go to a full white school. I swear down the same confidence I had now I wish I had back then bc I would actually give my teacher lip just for the way they treated me.
Omg this was hilarious! I'm black in America and we all face the same struggles man. I hope as a whole us as a people really see that and come together stronger than ever going fwd.
The flashbacks this gave me. Honestly trying growing up black in the UK in a white area, I grew up in Kent where I was so accustomed to racism that I didn't even realise I was experiencing racism!! It wasn't until I moved to London that I began to deep everything.
Same!! Grew up in Sussex, you could count us in my entire school and so many things went over my head that it took me years to unearth and deal with what was happening around me coz alot of it was not overt, just glad I'm over it.
Same here! I was born in Austria but moved to England when I was 9. Went to school in Loughborough and was literally the only black kid in school at the time. Looking back now there was a lot of racist undertones that I didn't always pick up on (apart from the obvious ones like being called a monkey), and only realised how awful they where when I moved to London 6 years ago. Was a very suffocating experience. As soon as I finished college at 18 I was like bye bitch.
@@pharmchick027 not much because I was a kid. Kids teased me every now and then but it wasn't as bad as it was in the UK. Generally had a good childhood in Vienna.
I always put my hand there when they ask who has the darkest skin even thought I’m stood there like bruh 😭 all because they tanned with streaky patchy ass tan as well 🤣
I remember saying I was Nigerian when I was younger and this one girl had the AUDACITY to say ' do you go there everyday' 🤦🏽♀️ like what 😭😭 the funny thing was some students took her serious
No because the way my old history teacher was so fascinated by the fact that my grandad was apart of the windrush generation always asking me bare questions and asking me to translate the patios on the windrush documentary
This was so fun to watch. I’m an Black American girl living in London and have been so curious about Black Brits experience in school. If you ever do a London vs USA can I be in it?
So many people in the states don’t think black people in the UK don’t experience the racism we do in the US. But we’ve experienced a lot of similarities
whenever a substitute teacher would come i would just come straight up to them and show them my name and that i was here to save me AND them the embarrassment
Lmaoo, my name is Zara I'm black and there's this asian girl called Zara too and the teacher had to call out our last names because our names are on top of the register, and this kid was laughing 💀

This made cackle 😂😂😂 or any African documentary, People asking if you understand what they are saying like Africans all speak the same language 🙄
Me the only black in my year
Omggg this happened to me all the time😭😭😭😭
I didn’t watch roots in history but in English my class didn’t watch mice and men either, since we were set 1 my teacher made us read it so I sat there, the only black in my class, listening uncomfortably for weeks on end as people were forced to say negro because “it’s part of the curriculum”, and people staring at me cos of it 😭

This content is 100% needed. It's imperative to share stories/experiences growing up being Black in the UK. 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Agreed 👌🏼
It’s crazy how the stories and experiences are so similar - I grew up in New York . It’s crazy .
@@Theresa_A4 I grew in NAIROBI and I can relate to some of these experiences. Crazyyyy how the black experience is so similar worldwide because of how anti-black the world is
Wagamini Wanja Njama chile
@@wanjanjama But nairobi is africa pretty much all black different to the west
it's crazy as hell why do we go through the same thing everywhere😭😭
remember folks, being black isn't easy we just try our best
People constantly trying to 'match-make' me and the only other black person in my year group even though we had NOTHING in common other than the fact we were both black!
Innnnittttt
Thissssss
I'm experienced this as we speak
yh
feds are quaking rn cos there's over 6 of them😂😂
They can’t prove when it was recorded🤫
😂😂😂😭😭😂😭😭😭😂😂
Friggin hilarious😂😂👊
Lolllllllllll
I moved to the uk late and everyone assumed i couldn't speak or read or write in english. They tried to get me an interpreter, they kept complimenting my "good" english, it was so freaking annoying. Like my people didn't go through years of british rule for my English skills to be doubted, like wtf
🤣
@SM H i did every fricking time😂. They just kept assuming.
I hated that so much. Assuming I can’t speak the language
Which country were you coming from?

when the lights used to be turned off for a video in class all i heard was “where are you, we can’t see you” 💀💀
Oh my gosh, thannk you. The whole 5 years i spent in school, whenever the lights turned off my stomach sank. Till this day i get uncomfortable in the dark 😩😩😩
When I was at school, I told my friend to pause, jump a bit and let out a little scream or yelp. Then say *"F***, I thought I saw a ghost...".* She said it worked like a charm.
They told me to smile in the dark it was all fun and jokes but i didn't now how racist it was back then. 😭
I'm brown, Brazilian living in UK just sitting here watching you all shining and thrving despite the odds!
Brown? Where? 😂😂😂😂😂
Your profile picture shows your waffaling
Are u alright?
@@kowrtuy2996 I guess she meant mixed
@@raynepontes1881 nah, she said BROWN, she ain't brown sweetie
so um did anybody come back to watch this because nella hasn’t been posting lately... no one oh okay
Struggles of being black in the uk - when those caucasian people , mainly boys , would try talking AfRiCaN :/
-today my science teacher, he’s white /british, was doing an ‘African’ accent saying eh eh the way I cringed Lord 🤧
Rachel yh and they say 'eh eh' at the end of every word
Oh dear God don’t even get me started on drama lessons in lower school, you have to change your accent to show a certain level of skill and knowledge and these boys would always try and do “Nigerian accent” getting praised for it by the teachers, I’m stood there like wtf 🤣 They’re never remotely close either 🤦🏾♀️😭
Sonma Okey 😭😭😭 it just sounds stupid
Omdsss frrr😭😭
@@Michelle-ob2un KSI
I remember in yr8 they took my Afro comb off me and said it could be used as a weapon 😭😭😭😭
They did the same thing to some of the boys in my secondary school as well
Wtf
I remember people would get checked - their bags, blazers and had to walk through a scanner thing, if they found your comb you were never seeing it again
@Olamide Lajuwomi that is so fucking crazy. And what’s funny teachers do all of that and wanna turn around and preach about equality.
I had to laugh. WTF IS DIS😭😂😩
Before anyone says how u laughing bout racism but claim it to be a serious issue, for the most part as a people as it pertains to our experience we find ways to laugh about it as it enables us to deflect from the harsh reality that at times we are not taken seriously or given the same respect as other communities 🙏🏾✊🏾❤️
i was literally thinking the same thing. how black and minority people can come together and make light out of something really really bad. it's sort of therapeutic. not saying every black and brown person get along with each other but it creates this weird sense of unity.
@Negus Naruto Latin and Asian people. Cos they have some similarities with the Black experience regarding racism. And again before u come for me I emphasis the words SOME similarities
unknownnn 101 both of those communities have serious racist/colourist views as well tho. Even more embarrassing because they only like to appreciate black culture when it suits them
As much as I died from laughter from this video, it's sad to think that this happens in so many countries that now we are forced to accept it as "this is normal because of the colour of our skin", which is so crazy to think about..
Never forget having to study to kill a mockingbird for english gcses and my irish teacher used to say the n word with a hard -er and bullied my classmates who would refuse to say the word when reading the text out loud to the whole class 💀💀
Omds I feel you, we did move and men and our teacher only asked the white ooo to say it. There was one person that just skipped out it and our teacher made them go back and read it out and even felt the need to help them ‘pronounce it correctly’. Racism is so prevalent in Ireland it’s sad
It’s funny because Ireland has a lot of foreign immigrants, yet they are so close minded and so intolerant of different races/nationalities
being black in british schools is a wholeee nother difficultly in itself ,, thanks for bringing light to this nella i don’t want the next generation going through this bs😭
sis we’re still going through it 💀💀
@NXVI my mum said when she went to school, africans would hide the fact that they were african. they would be like im from barbados and change their name to tyrone instead 😭.
unfortunately we are and it's so uncomfortable sometimes 😩
ty scotty lol u Africans used to try so hard to pretend u were carribean 😂😂😂😂😂
What did you go through?
Traditional Nella layout, we love to see it 🤩, it's iconic and nostalgic, makes me want to binge watch the rest. Where is NEHI!!!!!! i miss the guy on her channel 😍😍😍
Hes playing with god init
I hate how teachers mix up all the black peoples names like we all look alike , but they can somehow tell the difference between all the other white people
~ Damn I didn’t know this comment blew up 😭 it’s like all of us black people have had the same childhood 🤣
this one!!
Bruv some white people be so ignorant that they honestly can’t tell the difference between people who are not white 😭
Not me, a lightskin tall girl, getting mixed up with my darkskin short friend who wore glasses in a year group with 80, with only 4 black girls in it😭
OMG YES
@@lawriem7747 Lmaooooo same with me in uni, im a hijabi somali and my mate is a non-hijabi Gambian but our white teacher STILL mixes us up 😂😂
I used to hate when people called people “fresh”.
Gosh im relating to so many of these from our Schools in South Africa
Ayeeee neighbour I’m from zim🇿🇼 but live in the Uk
Especially being in predominantly white schools, ieb was the pits for me shem 😭🇿🇦
Even growing up in South Africa I can tell you that black moms LOVE Princess Diana!!!!!
Fax my parents wanted to name my sister that 😂
Lmaoo they way my mother loved her yoh!
It's the first time I hear about this
Lol nah not mine; she viewed the British royal family with a scorn so strong, that it filtered to her children 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
cuz she did alot of work in africa that's why they killed her it be your own relatives sad
they took mice and men out of the curriculum this year as so many white teachers were out here saying slurs with their chests
It's still there over here, some white teacher said the N-word and some people went after her, she said it was just a book 👁️👄👁️ 🙃
for reallll in year 6 the white teachers were saying the n word with CHEST
@@sofiastar2933 even in high school they still be saying it :')
My teacher used to make me read it🤣🤣🤣
nah its still here im in year 9 and my friends are reading it in english💀💀
It’s worse when you go to a full white school. I swear down the same confidence I had now I wish I had back then bc I would actually give my teacher lip just for the way they treated me.
wow a full white school?! how did you survive 😭 that attitude would come out straight from me 💀💀.
Full white school I could never 💀
hufflepuff harry potter lover 🥺 I live in Yorkshire. *rotherhammmm* it’s tuff bro
i was the only black guy in my school no one to relate with. its only now im deeping the shit i went through
These comments ate absolutely shocking. The way you talk about white people is horrible. You do realise they're just people like you.
Omg this was hilarious! I'm black in America and we all face the same struggles man. I hope as a whole us as a people really see that and come together stronger than ever going fwd.
My school is a predominantly black Christian secondary school but I still experience sly racism
The flashbacks this gave me. Honestly trying growing up black in the UK in a white area, I grew up in Kent where I was so accustomed to racism that I didn't even realise I was experiencing racism!! It wasn't until I moved to London that I began to deep everything.
Same!! Grew up in Sussex, you could count us in my entire school and so many things went over my head that it took me years to unearth and deal with what was happening around me coz alot of it was not overt, just glad I'm over it.
Same here! I was born in Austria but moved to England when I was 9. Went to school in Loughborough and was literally the only black kid in school at the time. Looking back now there was a lot of racist undertones that I didn't always pick up on (apart from the obvious ones like being called a monkey), and only realised how awful they where when I moved to London 6 years ago. Was a very suffocating experience. As soon as I finished college at 18 I was like bye bitch.
Emi interesting, I was born in Austria too. Do you remember your time there? The racism there is high class lol
@@pharmchick027 not much because I was a kid. Kids teased me every now and then but it wasn't as bad as it was in the UK. Generally had a good childhood in Vienna.
Please explain to me what your racism looks like!? We had physical racism here as well as the whole 9...
When Nella does a sit down video like this just know it’s about to be interesting
The instrumental in the intro just gave me crazy nostalgia 😭
sammeeeee dudeeeee
For realllll
Nella imagine I got accused of fraud, I was 12😭
Ur joking 😱. What happened???
See this why I’m glad I went to predominantly black schools pre-K through college 😩
the darkskinned girl next to Jeron is sooo beautiful. i love her skin🥰
Was it just my school where everyone used to put their hands out and see who was lighter likeeeee wtf😭😭😭
Very awkward
Mine too. Looking back whole bunch of Colorist ass school kids
When they tan and they ask am i African yet....
I always put my hand there when they ask who has the darkest skin even thought I’m stood there like bruh 😭 all because they tanned with streaky patchy ass tan as well 🤣
YES OMD "oh you're darker than i thought" 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
not me actually seeing vp while hearing his voice
The fact that I’m from the US and can relate heavy
I remember saying I was Nigerian when I was younger and this one girl had the AUDACITY to say ' do you go there everyday' 🤦🏽♀️ like what 😭😭 the funny thing was some students took her serious
Nella posted when I needed her the MOST. I was so bored.
The Melanin in this video is ASTRONOMICAL 😍😍
No because the way my old history teacher was so fascinated by the fact that my grandad was apart of the windrush generation always asking me bare questions and asking me to translate the patios on the windrush documentary
omg yesss, i relate so much 😭
😅😅
This was so fun to watch. I’m an Black American girl living in London and have been so curious about Black Brits experience in school. If you ever do a London vs USA can I be in it?
I would love to see that
i was legit crying through this video but laughing at the same time my sister was looking at me as if I was mad
Nella Rose?? 15 Minutes??? We're truly blessed today
this video is just facts 😭😭😭
Damn you everywhere 😭😭
Bruh weren’t u just on raee babes vid 😭 why u everywhere 😂😭
why are you everywhere😭
Chevelle T am I? 🤔
@@ramzino1235 you are
I missed these man WHO STILL WATCH THE OLD ONES! I love it when my sis is doing these vids
I went to a all girls ( predominantly black) secondary and if you saw a braid on the floor , you knew a fight had just happened 💔🤣
This is it lol
So many people in the states don’t think black people in the UK don’t experience the racism we do in the US. But we’ve experienced a lot of similarities
When ever Nella gets together with her friends, you know the video is gonna be even funnier
Nah if only nehi was there like in the African house hold video 🤣🤣🤣
For realll😭
Tash looks like Megan thee stallion 😍😍😍
Okayy, I thought it was just me 😭
whenever a substitute teacher would come i would just come straight up to them and show them my name and that i was here to save me AND them the embarrassment
Ahhhh fr and MY OWN OFFICIAL TEACHERS would sometimes confuse me for another black girl and I’d just 😐
Lmaoo, my name is Zara I'm black and there's this asian girl called Zara too and the teacher had to call out our last names because our names are on top of the register, and this kid was laughing 💀
omg me too😭😭😭😭😭😭 all the time omds
Nella Rose I hope you are doing well, I just wanted to say that we are missing ❤️🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩🇨🇩 much love
Can we appreciate the melanin 😍😍😍
And she's back with her original setup that everyone has copied on UA-cam! well sorry for them because yours is the best we have ever had! PERIOD !
these should be a series. monthly ting😌
Lmaooo the fact that I'm South African but can relate to all of this. Bro im screaming
I actually have a problem because I’m over here re-watching Nella’s videos and I be laughing extra hard like I haven’t watched these videos 100 times.
Same😭😭😭 it's even to the point that I wait for them to tell one of the jokes I remember so I can laugh
the nostalgia to nella’s uni days😭😭😭 but anyways it’s crazy how we all went through the same shit oml
“wod wod wod wod wod” 😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
Til this day my teachers still can't pronounce my name 😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️
I'm from the U.S., but I'm Nigerian and I also had a Nigerian name, and LETT ME JUST TELL YOU, I'm literally convinced we had the same life lolll.
Joyce, Nnamdi, Jeron and AP shouldn't even have to introduce themselves no more tbh🤣🤣🤣
