where did black Brits get the idea that because they are born in Britain they are some how superior to black (British-Caribbeans) born in the British colonies. They think by having an authentic sounding British tone somehow demonstrates intelligence. But in my experience living in London for 13 years has blown that illusion right out of the Psyche, some of them are as thick and one dimensional as it is possible for a human to be. Most of them take the worst attributes of the British culture/ way of live and use this learn behavior to deceive and manipulate the not so clued up immigrant who has possibly arrived recently. Along with long standing criminal elements provide a entry into the British criminal underworld. Black Brits are happy to keep all the stereotypes about Jamaica going because it provides authentication and gives them street creed reserved for criminal groups that have demonstrate their gangsterism. So this offers acceptance into the wider underworld. So in a nutshell they provide a the framework which makes it easier for wayward youths and uneducated immigrants to get involve in crime. Another thing i notice was the that some of the sentiments they keep is as right wing as the National Front and BNP.
Most play the blame the immigrant card which racist, dumb, ignorant whites spout all the time. Their was documentary titled The day the immigrants left. Classic Tele Lol. Took some unemployed British people and let them go do some of the type of work migrants do. As a prerequisite to that point, there is a stereotype or Urban tail that prevails throughout the society that immigrants are taking the jobs that British people could be doing which black Brits latch on to as expected. LOL the show revealed two thigns so far people who hold those views higlighted above and even some of those racist views are people disgruntled because they are lacking something. Jamaicans in England better start talking and represent themselves in all there glory.
We need some real debates, this barbershop, prison cell format of discussions do not foster the natural evolution to reaching a conclusion. We need to play a more organize and political roll in society and not allow people to perpetuate a falsification of the current situation to promote their agenda. The clip below is an excerpt shedding some light on the important and strategical link that Jamaica has always played at the center of the British empire in that part of the world. As you must have realized by now my blogs evolve as time go by so they are constantly being updated. Always read again to see whats new.
