Demands for reparations ignore the fact that people of all races have been slaves. Including my own grandfather, who spent 3 years as a Japanese POW in the Burmese jungle.
Ben, I've not watched your film; in the middle of things, but just opened this email....
During the BLM 'riots', when some were permitted to go outside and cause mayhem while the rest were supposed to be 'locked down' for a pretend pandemic, I purchased books.
e.g.
White Cargo: The Forgotten History of Britain's White Slaves in America
Slavery was a global trade and NOT the monopoly of my ancestors.
Just because David Lammy has a cervix between his eyes, does not entitle him to impose reparation payments on the rest of us. I did not regard myself as 'white' until education and the media repeatedly scolded me for being so.
Baroness, Floella Benjamin described on BBC radio how on arriving on a boat to the UK, people stared at her. She inferred this was racism. I suggest it might have been curiosity about some one looking different, but no, it must be described as racism.
I painted Colonel Gadhafi in 2002 for a Turkish construction company commemorating a 30 year working relationship with Libya. Barak Obama over saw his rape up the bum by bayonet live on YouTube without trial or jury and the establishment of slave trade markets within Libya whereby brown people were sold for $400.
Watched your film. I concur. An awkward subject that requires addressing. Well done. Superb points. Thank you.
The opening quoted text refers to 'gas' & 'chamber'. This book by a friend no longer with us, tells the story of a survivor of 5 x WWII camps. Many atrocities are mentioned, but not 'gas' nor 'chamber'. He lived in a nearby village:
Really thought provoking and all so obvious when laid in front of you .. It's like when someone walks into us and we say sorry the British have a way of feeling responsible for all wrongs. I too remember being so moved on visiting the Kwai bridge many years ago as you said cut through towering solid rock in conditions that no paid worker would tolerate . I recall there were a group of Buddhist monks there who ran an exhibition showing the horrors because they too felt the inhumanity should never be forgotten or repeated. Something that never left me was an account of how prisoners with gangrene would put their gangrenous limbs in the river so the piranha would eat the diseased flesh in the hope of saving their limb.
Be blessed is tremendously wide anyhow the first time I became aware of being an individual of colour was back in 2007 when in Mexico, Tuxpan breaking off and away from the regular pattern of civilisation walking 10k was all good in a short period “at that point in time” arriving at some place in the outskirt where at lot of sheds were assembled by aluminium plates and then there were a lot of children around seven to twelve years of age so many that I had to stop being surrounded by some twenty+ and these children did nub my skin all laughing and happy this could be a part of the slavery of today (forty million) that you mentioned like a breeding place this in hindsight to me this was all very sincere, very much so
That said, this after expressing to the local guide (agent) the need to experience something else than regular tourism, then I was informed to meet (time/place) and taken to the place where Fidel Castro and Che Guevara + their people did plan, arranged and executed their trip with “GrandMa” to Cuba and this was all ok. A museum somewhat hidden away as this was also in my perception sincere being the “eye of the beholder” and after the introduction of the history I did ask for “the spot” of departure (me education and profession) things did not “add up” with what had been communicated i.e the chart and the terrain did not fit
It seems to me that the psychopath's who own all the central banks and control our politician's and media want to start race wars, that is why they have been importing the third world into Europe for the past eighty years.
It must be enormously frustrating for them because it has not worked, many of us have married said foreigners and are living happily together benefiting from the cultural cross over.
Know this you sick evil bastards, we see you, we know who you are and we are coming for you.
True - and we all have history. Slavery is very real. And BLM etc will not solve the problem. But maybe King Chuck can give his entire estate away to help?
Colour of skin is not the problem. Colour of money is. This is a made up problem to make us fight. Thanks Ben for all your contributions - sincerely appreciate it.
How far did we come from when I was a kid in the late 70's and early 80's when Laurie Cunningham and Cyrille Regis were being abused and having no clue why to the end of the nineties where apart from a few idiots, racism was dead in this country. How the hell have these 'cultural Maoists" managed to regress us back to where we are now. It is time to allow this to go no further.
‘I hate the British! You are defeated but you have no shame. You are stubborn but you have no pride. You endure but you have no courage. I hate the British!’ So said the character Col. Saito in the film The Bridge on the River Kwai. The film bore very little to reality of course, but there is a fair amount of truth in what the Japanese officer said that is relevant to our character today under the current technocratic bankster paradise in which we endure.
I too visited Hell Fire pass many years ago and the 2 p.o.w. cemeteries in the Kanchanaburi area. What many people miss are the tiny remains of the original bridge sticking out from the bank near the new bridge which the Japanese brought from Java.
Anyway, very well said BR, thanks for your good works and wise words.
That is an interesting response, but you must understand such 'feedback' as you have worked with some of the highest of intellectual people.
It's not particularly encouraging when someone does not commend an action, butas a mixed-race person, born in the sixties, i think that the points around race are not dealt with in an empathetic, manner (how could they?). Even if you may have experienced a similar reaction for a while, that is not a lifetime.
For instance, i was having a minor dispute with a caucasian man a few weeks back, and he asked me if i was disagreeing with him because he is white!! This is, and has been a recurring theme in my life, and i am guessing many others, scratch the surface, and it raises it head again!!
I unlike many mixed-race individuals lean heavily toward my Englishness, my choice of partners have always been caucasian, i grew up loving Slade, dressed as the population does, served in the Armed Forces, and love almost everything English/British, but i am never going to be accepted, because i appear different.
I do not wish to discourage you in your work, but your peice is missing something, something you cannot possible add, genuine lifetime experiences, to give it an authentic context.
I expect that your reaction to this response to be adversarial, which is totally understandable - however, I have 64 years experiences to back my viewpoint, so I am comfortable with who and what i am.
I encourage you and the UKColumn perhaps to aqcuire some peole of colour, who have the interest of our stolen country at heart, not the David Lammy's, the Rishi Sunnak's or this latest Badenoch character.. they do not represent us, and our values.
My kind words are, that you are a very clever and astute person, who has gained invaluable experiences, which are evident in your presentations. You are also very personable, and add a new flavour to the UKColumn pot, but it is still a little stuffy and middle-class, and with even your considerable skills, I doubt that that will change anytime soon.
It was never my intention to cause upset, and if i have i apologise unreservedly - it was my intention to be authentic and truthful, for that there can be no such apology, but an understanding of why and how.

As for little brown boys digging for rare earths to 'save' us from climate change.... another time perhaps.
C'mon you Gooners! Get off your knees... & beat the Pool!
Ned, thank you for this - very useful. Up the Gooners.

David Irving 'lost' his case against Deborah Lipstadt. She was funded by Les Wexner. He funded Jeffrey Epstein.
Again, this 'politically correct' nonsense must be addressed. You have contributed.
Excellent piece, thank you! If only this could be widely read.....
thank you, please share!
Really thought provoking and all so obvious when laid in front of you .. It's like when someone walks into us and we say sorry the British have a way of feeling responsible for all wrongs.

"Go back and mark the spot" please be blessed beautiful soul
great quote isn't it, i hope you too are blessed
Be blessed is tremendously wide anyhow the first time I became aware of being an individual of colour was back in 2007 when in Mexico, Tuxpan breaking off and away from the regular pattern of civilisation walking 10k was all good in a short period “at that point in time” arriving at some place in the outskirt where at lot of sheds were assembled by aluminium plates and then there were a lot of children around seven to twelve years of age so many that I had to stop being surrounded by some twenty+ and these children did nub my skin all laughing and happy this could be a part of the slavery of today (forty million) that you mentioned like a breeding place this in hindsight to me this was all very sincere, very much so

All in all, yes it is a great quote and thanks

Exactly, not saying we’d fixed everything but we were certainly on a solid path until these regressive neo-Marxists turned up
Perfect, thank you.
Oh and Gift= poison ( in German and I'm one of them so I know)

I was left a little disappointed after watching...
Thanks so much for your kind words

Now *this* is an actual response. Thank you. I will reflect and respond in the next few days.
It's okay Ben, you win - I apologise for my outburst - I do not require any further response...I should have heeded the advice of Plato.
