- I asked black people in the UK if they feel safe here, what's their experience has been like?
We got a mixed of opinion but definitively UK seems very welcoming country, very diverse and most people encourage that mix of cultures.

I have lived in the UK for most of my adult life. I travel a lot. My experience has been one of feeling welcome, belonging and safe.
I’m black Brazilian living in 🇬🇧 19 years. UK is a great country to live . It’s not perfect but still a lot better than many other countries I have been
No country is perfect it’s disrespectful even to say that it’s especially compared to Brazil and with all the immigrants running to these countries it’s harder for them to be safer because of the inflated numbers since there are only so many police
@@spedmonie416 I don’t think the world won’t get any better anyway. I don’t think we are far way from 3rd war . It’s really easy to spread the confront between Ukraine vs Russia to the world
america is worse with crime statisically there crime is more higher than anywhere if u count school shootings aswell
I’m sure being black anywhere isn’t safe however, both conditions can coexist I traveled to the UK for the first time and most interactions I had were with white individuals I often got lost needed information and every single person was very helpful, accommodating, I had a lot of luggage and people literally walked up to me and helped me with my luggage I mean multiple times so both conditions can exist at the same time.
yes seems very unsafe to me.
Are you drunk?
Being black isn’t safe? What a clown if you truly believe that then why do black people keep leaving their country if anything black people have been given the most opportunity than any other race in recent times look at the mass immigration and how welcomed Africans were when they invaded the uk in rafts you’re absolutely insane
but it's unsafe for others
@@yokaibtw5421are you?
I am black I live in the uk and the uk is very safe for black folk
Most violent black murders are caused by immigrants not the indigenous.
Are Americans blacks racist towards you I seen some people here hate on blacks from the U.K
Hello mate. Love your videos. I would suggest to take interview a little shorter and with more people. It would open up lots ideas of different minds
I'm East European origin and live my whole life in Germany. The last week I spent in London with my boyfriend who is also "white" 😂 but also with migration background. At least I made the experience every time we had a question or needed help, black people were the nicest, modest and chilled and helping ones!!!! 😊 on the last day we missed our flight ✈️ and stood there 2 students and UK is pretty expensive for us. We really nicely tried to ask if there were a possibility to get rebooked, also to pay on top and didn't make any trouble cos it was our own fault. The first (white) lady sent us away, "go on the Internet.. " we tried it on our own but saw the next flight was just on the next day and 5 times more expensive 😢 I said to my boyfriend lets ask a black person... the woman from the staff was the nicest and dearest person and called someone and she could book us just on the next flight in the morning 😮 we were sooo thankful 🙏 cos it's not self-evident 🙏🙏🙏 God bless this woman ❤️
So making a decision based on race is now not racist? Or are you saying you’re a racist?
Liking the videos from an English man in Switzerland and France
Thanks Will for the support, really appreciated 😄 Enjoy your trip in France!
I'm black myself and lived in the UK for 20 years now, it wasn't perfect, met nice white British People there might be some racism but it's rare here.
I love black people they are welcome in the uk🇬🇧❤️
The first lady was so nice
yes she was super cool!
Safe sometimes but not good for mental health some days you dont want to step out the door you need to interview people who born here ,not who just came
I get racism everyday
And some parts of the midlands ,if you not strong you will get it
@@LittleSparrowFLY yes whites get it all the time, I feel for white people.
What nonsense, u don't get it every day at all
BS you’re lying
Film it and you'll be an instant millionaire.
@@kenfaunt7930... How do you know they are? My half brother is black, and he experiences a lot of racism. Shut up.
I love black people, they're smart, open-minded and friendly. I would love to attend a black church. they say in Africa, church services lasted up to 4-5 hours continuous but are never boring.
Can you make a video on being FILIPINO in the UK plss thank you GOD BLESS YOU ❤😊❤
Thank you Tyronjay! Yes i will try to make that :)
It's VERY safe to live here. Yes there's discrimination sometimes but hey that's life. I feel very Safe here than in Africa.
Racism is very open in the UK today no one likes each other or cares blacks are not united and racism is very clear and not hidden.
Honestly I get strange reactions from people too in the UK and I look white. I love black people being in this country too as we are all one so it's just some people who are too judgemental but you can get that everywhere in life.
Black people are the biggest danger to themselves.
But we are not all one. We all have our own distinct cultural and ancestral identities. There is nothing wrong with uplifting your own people. Europeans deserve to have societies that represent their own identity.
@@CreamCobblerFiend i agree with you yes they do..
@@CreamCobblerFiend if u look back into history Brits needed support from other people so we went to other countries helped them and they helped us it works I'm sorry to say but it does, we are divided if we let them divide us. I only found out my DNA recently and i was shocked honestly we all can get along very nicely we are just told to be divisive, so many people have fought for this tiny island it is still here and still england we have to remember as well. People back then some used to be put in boats (orphans) and sent somewhere else because of battles so England has been mixed for very long time.
Hey Mate, Could you make a video on people's opinions on Rishi Sunak. Please make one about this topic.
If you make, could you send here the link
There is a black guy that worked with my husband, and he was from Africa. He would tell horror stories of how unsafe it was in Africa. How you couldn't drive past a certain time without a gun being on you, etc.... He regularly expressed how unsafe he felt in Africa, and how much safer he was living in the UK. He said he would never move back there.
I don't doubt that London isn't the safest place for anyone. But, it's not a good basis to judge the entire UK.
Edit; perhaps I should reiterate; if it's ridiculous to judge the entirety of Africa based on a person's experience in one area, then it is ridiculous to compare an unsafe place in the UK with its entirety. Feel unsafe in the UK? Try moving somewhere else in the UK. Feel unsafe in Africa? Try moving somewhere else in Africa. You can't all rush to defend Africa, when you can literally apply the same comments to the UK. Cheers.
Me too and I'm black 😢
blacks are dangerous and they only feel safe in white countries
Well don't judge the entirety of Africa. It's the second biggest continent on the planet. All of Africa, really??
@@Beauweir I'm just repeating what he said.
It depends where in Africa just like it depends where here?
I could understand canada being a safe place but usa is not statically crime is higher in usa than uk or anywhere else if u count school shootings aswell
No USA is a pretty safe country you have a higher chance of getting hit by lightning or getting in a car crash then being a school shooting.
Plus most gun crime is just gangs so a innocent citizen wouldn’t be hurt.
Have you been to the USA ?
Everything has some advantage and some disadvantage...
Yeah even though racism is a thing in the UK it’s way better than living in countries like Congo for example where there’s like rebels all over the country specifically the eastern parts so yeah it’s better to live in the uk.
if you do not feel safe move to a country you feel safe in, simple as that, why do you want to live in a country which makes you feel so vulnerable, social security payments, free housing, free education for your kids, free health care, must be something attracting you to it,
Can you make a video on being indian in the UK.
Cool suggestion, i will make this one in the next few weeks!
It’s a lot of Africans in the UK
My brother I can n't see my sailf in this vidio
I meed with you in canter Sheaffield
yes something happened to the video, so will try to recover the footage and post the video next week, let's see
It would be nice if you could compare these experience to black people in France. 😇
Wow...
Please come to Scotland l love African women are so beautiful. Watching from Scotland peace and love to all

I don't feel unsafe because I am black due to racism, even though I know it exists in some places it exists everywhere, but as a black man just ask our Black French Neighbours and they'll tell you what it's like over there we have it easy in the UK.
Once you leave London racism is worse in other UK cities and towns the racism and resentment is open in other UK cities and towns which are very segregated and divided.
@@Wayne-fn1sw Yeah I can believe that is true, My Jamaican grandma lives in Bournemouth, When I go and visit her especially if we go down to Poole I can feel the resentment on every corner, and if you go out at night its worst but I don't particularly feel unsafe but It might be different in towns that are even more white than Bournemouth and Poole
@@usaydmanning7356 UK cities outside of London are racist and segregated in Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Bristol are very segregated and racist in these cities towards blacks and foreigners.
@@Wayne-fn1sw Yeah I say a lot I don't really have a big connection with the rest of England But London is where I have my connection with the country, It's like a totally different place in London, haha we should break away like Andorra
I'm in complete shock. I am a black man who lives in the United States and always thought of the UK as being more accepting towards blacks.. Wow now I know!
Black British never understood why Americans thought that lol. Im bi racial born in the uk and i can tell you even though the racism is not as up front as america you WILL feel it. Stares and bad looks as the lady described bad service you made not to feel welcome here mostly. Thats not to say all england is that like that there are some nice friendly people here but its not common.
They don't have a history of lynching Black people in the UK while in the U.S racism is a constant.
I'm black and from London. I could tell you personal racist stories to last for the rest of your lifetime!! 😢 Racism in the UK is sooooo much more cunning, and maintains for a lifetime. Soooo much is swept under the carpet so that the rest of the world don't immediately detect the true dynamics but it's real, constant and in most areas of life. It can be debilitating.
@@misslucyyy hey there lady. You probably have experienced racism but perhaps don't realise (yet) as we don't spend our waking moments seeking it out. A space that is multicultural in its inhabitants does not negate racism, the two can co-exist especially systemic racism. You look younger, perhaps teens?early 20s? Once you fully emmerse in society there will be moments upon moments and you'll realise how the system works. I've both seen and experienced over and over and I tell you no lie soooo...
But, watch this space in 2024... We're all about to face a hard truth, head on in the UK.
Have a great new year Amelia! ✌🏿🎈
@@misslucyyy These man all chat shit. They probably have a bad attitude and then take people's reaction for racism.
The first woman said she feels safer in the us wow that is a first being a black American man is very stressed
she's probably never been.
The USA is a very big and diverse country. I feel safe in plenty parts of the USA and not in other parts. It depends where you are and tbh, I fear more Black and Latino teenage thugs than I do white supremacists as I'm more likely to encounter them in cities and other areas of the USA. That's not to say there aren't dangerous white supremacists in the USA.
It did happen when they kill Steven Loranc that black boy.
just excuses,, many white bandids die stealing and as a drug dealers and no one say anyhting
Lol I’m guessing who weren’t around back then. Your martyr was serving up gear to school kids he was warned twice. It was supposed to be a punishment beating but he pulled a knife he got plunged with his own knife everyone in SE London knows this . Eltham was a staunchly working class Irish area if two white guys stared serving up in electric avenue they would have lasted an hour. Steven Lawrence murder had nothing to do racism and everything to do with a drug dealer serving off his pitch live by the sword etc !
So why the Hell do they choose to stay in the U.K. then?
i'm white but I used to live up in county durham, people there are either really racist or really kind to black people, my mum taught me right, everyone should be treated with respect unless they don't deserve it, I respect everyone and when I moved down to Essex to a mostly white school most kids and adults here seemed to be closeted racists when it came to black kids, one kid called me a N_____ lover and got put in isolation because I helped a new girl from Nigeria read English, it's still better in Essex and Hertfordshire compared to racists up north
Thank you for being honest. Some people want to pretend like racism doesn't exist in the UK when it does.
Im ok im like MichaelJackson
Im mixed raced
I used to be black
I scrubbed white now thou
Northern England is very racist
@@sbaby-kg8hnBirmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol are racist and segregated cities full of bigoted locals .
Make a video about being WHITE in Britain today
I note how she says usa more safe because she around more black people.
Both the UK and USA hate Black's .
@@Wayne-fn1sw Then go back to Africa then.
Then why doesn't she go to Nigeria?
The First Lady, I think she’s inferring that things are because she’s black but actually are likely not. The taxi not stopping- they often do that anywhere (sometimes they’re not allowed to be flagged down - only certain taxis are allowed to do that - or they might not want to stop at the spot where she’s standing). She can’t know it’s colour.
She didn't say it was. She asked herself the question. Listen again.
That happens to everyone in London. Sometimes you can't get one. My God what a victim. Black people really are tiresome.
@@barryjones313😂 ok triggered much
@@barryjones313 Your comment is only revealing your ignorance. If you feel that we are so tiresome, why not try educating the rest of your kind on their ignorance towards us. You can't tell us what our experiences are because you aren't Black and haven't experienced them. This is a microaggression within itself. You're annoying!
@@barryjones313 you’re the tired one by down playing other people’s experiences with racism.
People in UK càn be ignorant but you'd be a fool to think it had anything to do with colour.
Not black people but borrow chocolate people 😊
Boe wah ahh
Once you leave multicultural London expect racism in other UK cities and towns which are racist and and segregated with no integration at all.
If your black / ethnic living in Britain you have no need to worry. 67% ethnic 33% white
We all belong to ethnic groups. There is nothing called “ethnic”. Also, black people is not synonymous with “ethnic”.
Your statistics are wrong, but I assume you know that. I’m from London and when it comes to the realms of power and esteem, black people are a minority - English and white British people from all around the country are represented somewhere in the high 90%.
@@hannah60000 your wrong
85% of UK is white.
Not sure where you got that statistic from but its blatant misinformation. "82% of people in England and Wales are white, and 18% belong to a black, Asian, mixed or other ethnic group" - GOV.UK 2021 Census data
Yes ffs…
The real question is are white British people safe in Britain
We're not and our culture is under attack.
@@chamberpot969Wow
Yes cause I’m sure you face racism when you go out
The f, what the 1st woman was talking about happened to me as well and im white
Yeah but that doesn't matter, she has to be a victim of something.
We all encounter rude and difficult people. That's not to diminish anyone's experience but don't always assume unpleasantness is based on race.
The older woman u interview in the very last part of the video is mixed half black half white it seems, but not really relating to Africans in general just like black Americans in America who are actually brown skinned and have European/Native American mixed African or middle eastern dna.
You are so dark everyone else’s skin colour makes you uncomfortable
PAY YOUR REPARATIONS. UK, USA, EUROPE.
Along with Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the Dahomey, the Mali, the Ashanti etc etc etc.....
Europe's priority should be uplifting its own ethnic groups, not coddling invaders.
The question should be is it safe for the British to be around blacks? The answer is no
Is she still in the country?
I'll like to know if she is alright. Imagine being in a country that hates you. It's like why go there... You know what I mean?
Ur username fits ur comment
Yes go home, u don't feel safe here
I'm not gayyyyyyyy
Now do the same video for France, France is much worse for overt acts of racism and discrimination. Stop misrepresenting the severity of the UK, these things are relativist!
There are certain place it's not even safe to be white. Britain has various ghettos of different races/cultures. I have/had 2 Irish uncles living in England. One lived with his wife on a predominantly black street, but were terrorized/bullied out of the area because they were the only white people on that street.
My other uncle was stabbed and cut into pieces in his own flat - frequented pubs where he was the only white man there - We never found out who did it or why but have good reason to suspect he was murdered for not caring about the social norms of staying away from these places as a white man.
Racism affects any skin color, even white.
In 2023 we are a black and white country and we live fine together it’s the Muslims that’s divides are country
Black and white are not united everyone hates each other and multiculturalism has failed in the UK and world .
U r not safe black 👮🏻♂️🙋🏼♂️👮🏻♂️
UK = Africa
USA = Africa
This is ture
UK =racism/segregation
USA=racism/segregation.
Definitely don't feel safe as a black woman in the Midlands. Most of my issues have been sexually-motivated and it's so exhausting. I just want to live my life 😕.
The Midlands has loads of racism and segregation issues people are not integrated at all.

Im afro Caribbean black British born in Bristol .

Why would you feel unsafe in your own country?
Yes, it's incredibly safe, the actual reality is Black people in the UK are far more likely to threaten and attack others. This isn't racist, it's a standard fact that's easy for anyone to look up with a few Google searches.
Is it safe to be white in London ?
Yeah it’s safe to be blocked and safe to be white it’s really safe to be you. Just don’t make it unsafe for yourself.
Very much so. I assume you haven’t really seen London outside central (which is full of tourists).
I’m a Londoner and the realms of power and esteem, English people and white British petiole are represented into the high 90%. Keep pushing narratives though. The video was taken in Sheffield, go figure!
