What should we react to next?
The british crusade against slavery...that's a good watch.
Also the hidden truth behind the end of slavery 'Thomas Sowell'
The 13 Hours that saved Britain
How about how britain ended the slave trade
@@michaelatkins4501 Yes, please do that one.
Victorian work houses.
The Pub is still there and is open for business. It amazed me that the US army thought that it could use Jim Crow laws in the UK.
Americans even today assume American law is international... They can't conceive of the idea their law isn't relevant outside the USA.
We had a similar problem in New Zealand during WWII, We've never had segregation and during WWII US servicemen tried to treat the Maori Servicemen the same as they did Black US servicemen, it came to a head when US servicemen refused to let Maori servicemen into a servicemen club in our largest city Auckland, it resulted in a large brawl between US servicemen versus New Zealand servicemen Maori and Non Maori as well as civilians there were other instances, but that was the largest.
True, and the pub still has the bullet holes in the door frames.
@@bevanfletcher6563 Good on you Kiwis! We Brits love your attitude.
I heard this story growing up in the UK, and always loved the response at being told what to do in our own country by the American military makes me proud to be British. Also my grandparents told me many thousands of black American troops moved to the UK at the end of the war rather than going back to a segregated America.
Jim crow laws were a Democrats rule ,same party as Joe Biden...let that sink in
Never dictate to us Brits in our own land
@@ghostdestiny1 the arrogance of the US, the pride, the ego, the entitled and intolerant behavior. America has a dark past and we as Americans should learn to acknowledge our past because if we don't then we won't have reference to how far we have come. It's not a matter of blame or passing along the sins, it's a matter of taking pride in our change and disgust of how we used to be. Those who don't understand history are often doomed to repeat it.
@@ghostdestiny1 yes, we do not take well to that at all.
I believe many guys tried to settle because, basically, we haven't put up with this sort of thing since 1067. They were US citizens and, importantly, members of the US forces so were forced back.
I remember watching a documentary where old black veterans were talking about their experiences in WW2 and one guys comment in particular hit home for me.He said that when their troop ship was sailing into New York at the end of the war after being stationed in Britain he said to a friend “I guess we’re n#####rs again”,that always summed up the US race relations for me😢
That is sad.
🥺😢
That comment is so sad.
An American friend of mine became v emotional when he came here to the UK and was just referred to as American. Not African American for the first time in his life.
You're all bloody yanks to us. 😉
@@Whoami691 agreed
I've shared this story on other reactions to Bamber Bridge: - My grandfather was a WWI vet. During WWII he and my grandmother were home in the south of England. Lots of American servicemen were stationed nearby, both black and white. In the local pub, my grandfather witnessed the disrespect of 2 black GIs by their white counterparts. He was so angry at what he saw, he was ready to fight those racists and invited the black soldiers to drink with him and his mates. As long as they were based there, those guys were welcome at my grandfather’s table. They even visited my grandparents at home for tea and snuck food to them from the US base (at a time when Brits were rationed). When they shipped out, both GIs promised to visit my grandparents on their return, but they never saw either of them again. My grandparents never knew what happened to them, but they never forgot them. My grandfather was a firm man but he was always fair. He had his flaws but racism wasn't one.
☺☺ Thank you for sharing this with us. Your grandfather is appreciated.
Too bad your GF didn't get their names so you could look them up.
Thanks for watching this, it’s not the easiest thing to watch but the experiences in England helped fuel the civil rights movement as so many had experienced a non-segregated society. This is the most well known ‘battle’ but there were several incidents around the country. There was even a part of the US military training film for troops coming to England saying not to be shocked when little old white English ladies invite black soldiers round to their house for a cup of tea. Shocking.
My grandad came to the U.K. from Jamaica in the war to join the Royal Air Force in WW2, his first and only experience of legal segregation was when they sailed here via the US.
Thankfully for me he decided to stay here and married my English grandma just after the war ended in 1946. We have our issues that shouldn’t be ignored but the two nations are surprisingly different.
Although a dark story it also has so much light, the English welcoming all soldiers, colour/race has no standing, not surprising as it was the British who were the prime movers for the abolition of slavery around the world. Being treated as equals must have been an enormous shock for black U.S. troops, to experience that for probably the first time in their lives, to be able to walk into any pub or shop and get served and treated the same as everybody else (the English class system however has great divisions), must have been awesome for them. I think that maybe those black guys brought back that experience and used it to help them fight for change back home, that had seen that it could be done and what a difference it makes not just for black people but everybody. Peace.
One last point I’d like to make…. You may not know this, but after the war a LOT of Black American soldiers, moved of here with their families!
There used to be a American Black GI that worked on the farm my father worked on in the fifties. He told my dad that he realised after coming to Britain during the war, that there was a different life to what he had been born into back home in America.
And that when he went back home and was released from the army, he and his family then spent the next 10 years (all of them) working nonstop to raise the money to emigrate to England. They moved first to London, but then towards the end of the fifties moved to a small village in Cornwall.
I'm English and my grandfather who was alive during WW2 said there was a joke amongst English people that went 'I like the Americans, I'm just not too keen on the white guys they've brought with them'.
Yeah, those white guy airbourne, those white guys that were 99% of the army that beat the nazi's. Just like those 99% in ww1. Get a grip pal.
@@rickhudson7929 😂Beautiful❤️
being told what to do in your pub by someone from a country younger than your pub did not go down to well
😊 👍Great comment!
I talked to a ww2 vet who used to be a officer in the british army when I was a kid and what he told me stuck with me forever. "When your fighting each other, the enemy gains an advantage. Your moral suffers, your troop suffers, your effectiveness suffers. All of which can and will be exploited" .
The British always route for the underdog, putting up black troops only signs was us sticking 2 fingers up at being told to do something we didn’t agree with.
I could never understand the colour bar in the USA, and how white people did nothing to stop it.The thought of that happening here in the UK I know would not be tolerated. You judge a man by his character and not his colour. Those men came here to help us win a war why would we not welcome them they are our allies. So glad we welcomed them.I read a story that Mohammed Ali when he was taking part in the Olympics spent most of his time with the British athletes as they befriended him and during his life spent a lot of time in the UK. It took Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King to change the USA mentality towards colour, but even now we still hear of injustice towards the black community. I enjoy your videos keep them coming love from UK
A very similar incident happened in Wellington New Zealand in the 40s. Named the Battle of Manners Street, it started when white American servicemen refused Māori (native NZers) servicemen entry into a Pub. This was a pub that served servicemen from any country and they were trying to enforce their own racial bigotry half way round the world! It didn't go down well and Pakeha (white NZers) and Maori soon let them know we wouldn't tolerate that carry on here. Starting a massive brawl after some Americans tried whipping Māori with their belts.
The brawl included not only Maori servicemen but also Pakeha servicemen, as well as Civilians. The Americans thought they would be able to treat the Maoris the same way as they treated Black people in the US.
My beautiful Bamber Bridge this is a well known and well told tale it warms my heart that the villagers were on the side of right and yes I’m from this beautiful part of the world
Me too
I am British and like to think in the UK we are made up many different races and diversities but all brothers and sisters of a great nation, the United Kingdom. Hope you visit the UK one day. You two are such a lovely couple
Thank you. We will soon.😊
Technically slavery in the UK was abolished by William The Conqueror in 1066. In the landmark case Somerset Versus Stewart in 1772 it was decided that "as soon as a slave sets foot on British soil he is free".
The lesson for today is don't tell the British what to do in our own country, we will fight you for it.
We never thought of black and white, it was are you a good person? Arseholes would not be tolerated no matter what colour. It you came to help us then we have you back.
There was a comment from one local "they were nice boys,shame they brought some of those white boys with them". My grandfather fought Mosley's Blackshirts at Cable street. Fought the Germans in North Africa and the worst people he met were "those bloody Southern blokes"
And despite what some might like the world to think... British people are still the same and have the same attitude towards others, no matter where they are from or what race, and our late Queen (again despite what some people would like the world to believe and the propaganda and hate they like to spread) played a hugely active role in and led by example when it came to treating people with respect and kindness and embracing different cultures.
A very proud Brit🇬🇧
Britain has had a non segregated society since 1086 when William the Conqueror outlawed slavery.
1066*
@@Whoami691 the abolishment didn't come to fruition until 1086, deebee1622 is correct, William of Normandy became king in 1066 but a change in laws came later

Trying to tell a brit what to do in our country 🇬🇧. Ain't gonna happen
Britain never had segregation and weren't going to be told they must by the U.S. army!
The landlord told the Sargent to FO and if he didn’t like it they could drink some where else
This story makes me so proud as an Englishman. I'm glad our great-grandparents stood up to do the right thing and if black troops returned to the US with even a tiny bit less tolerance for the way white America treated them, their friends and families then i feel even more proud that we had a tiny part in ending segregation.
Telling the local British public what to do. Pffftttt! Go do one!
Telling the British public what to do is fighting talk
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother.
I'm from the next town over from Bamber bridge. It's a proud bit of local history that we stood up to racist's
Y’all should react to ‘The British crusade against Slavery’ a great video that will explain more about British views!
You said that you liked history, watch The British Crusade Against Slavery. It's an eye opener. Korky the Kat. UK
I'm from Bamber Bridge and still am... thanks for sharing .
The Brits can be truly righteous sometimes .
most of the time.... we let every nation we had leave and paid them money for years
The UK was one of the first country to champion the ending of slavery.
It is the arrogance of the US army expecting to be able to dictate to British civilians in their own country that astounds me. If there is one thing that you don't do to the British is try to tell us what to do, You'll just end up on the receiving end of a good hiding!!
I remeber a film where one of the US president's advisors said 'The British are perfectly polite and reasonable people, until you try to kick them around. That is like opening the gates of hell with no plan of how to close them again'.
Please watch on RUclips 'How the British fought slavery.' You may be surprised.
Also watch how Britain transported 3.1 million African men, women, and children into chattel slavery.
Think the correct title is:
The British Crusade Against Slavery
I was at Launceston town centre in Cornwall last month. That was the site of another battle like this. Shots were fired but there were no fatalities. I have a book An American Uprising in WWII England, Mutiny in the Duchy by Kate Werran. There were around 70-80 incidents like this over six months in 1943.
That same year(1943)you had major race riots in the US in Detroit and NYC.
we are both fighting the same course, it dose not matter the race or skin colour we are all equal in the same course for freedom
There is a 1943 film on RUclips for USA military called, How To Behave In Britain.
Makes me proud of my country.
I lived about 20 minutes walk from Bamber Bridge in Lostock Hall and I tell you the people in the 80s and early 90s wouldn't have stood for it and those MP''s would have been sorted out. That sort of trouble was cleaned up fast when people stepped out of line there. It wasn't the friendliest of places maybe but people wouldn't suffer injustices on the street like that back then.
I’m from uk and I think that our country is generally really good with getting on with others and not being divided about race and religion, obviously there is always someone who is going to disagree but overall everyone is welcome here and most people will talk to you
Britain has some long History and had been invaded by so many other nations. We are Viking. Norman. Anglo Saxon and Roman. Even after the last war i believe many polish stayed here. Probably other nations to. We are a mix of people. To me it doesn't make sense when some call us the R word. I guess History was not there best subject.
Yes we have a Polish neighbour just across the footpath, and many were around East Anglia, in fact, our little village was where ALL the Poles registered before a lot moving on to the RAF in Blackpool, my former home town...
Over 20.000 german pows stayed after the war a similar number of italian pows also , and many polish.
There was another battle like this on Park Street in the city of Bristol. I have heard of others but can't remember where.
Yeah there were quite a few
Yes also in New Sealand and Australia. In New Sealand the US Army tried to ban Maories to go to the same bar as white US soldiers. Needles to say that didn't go well.
@@Wolfe1966 New Zealand, don't be a Muppet
I love that their response to being told what to do by the US Army re. segregating the pubs was to bar the WHITE American troops from ALL the village pubs! 😂
There is an apocryphal story from around that time of a Brit being asked what they think of the American troops being over there, and they responded: "They are all lovely... but I don't much care for the white lads they brought with them!" lol
The truth was also that British people found black Americans to be very polite and friendly. The reaction of the Brits would be 'Well that's ok'. Most towns in the UK at the time didn't see black people, and the US black soldiers made a good impression. They were defended by British people in the above conflict.
Hi from the UK 👋 🇬🇧 check out the British crusade against slavery ( sergon of akkad)
We still have problems with racism in Britain, but Its a very small minority, I am proud to live in a diverse, multicultural city, Birmingham, where 108 different languages are spoken in our schools, and there are restaurants offering food from just about every corner of the World
Well said. I think the demand for racism is higher than the amount of racism in our country. Mostly imported by American ideology. We're good here, like you said it exists but it's so small it's negligible which makes me happy. All the best mate!
How many more times are you going to repeat the same comment.
As a fellow brummie, i can agree. We are indeed a very diverse place and are proud of it.
Should be 1 language, English. End of.
For black troops in WWII, you can look into the 761st Tank Regiment the Black Panthers. There are a lot of videos on youtube. They too got better treatment from civilians in France and Belgium than they had from their own army.
I live in the midlands uk and am 55 but i remember a conversation with my grandpa who was a coal miner that he had gone to the pub after work and sat down with what he called a yank snd they shared a drink together he said some other g.i.s walked in who were white and started telling the chap he was drinking with to get out because he was black, my grandpa and his workmates stood and said we will have none of that nonsense here they were outnumbered by miners so they left. Because of this he always said he would never visit america. This video bought back that conversation i had with him 40 yrs ago gone now but not forgotten 😢
Got to love the Brits.
My dad told me this when I was a child & he said always remember we are all the same.
The way those US soldiers were treated ( on the grounds of the colour of their skin ) by their fellows seems to me to be entirely wrong. That US MP Personnel tried to impose their Law upon a British pub in a street in England makes me ufkcing rage. It comes as no surprise to me that they were taught a lesson.
I`m English - and few of us are far from Bamber Bridge. The only time I see the colour of anyones skin is when they tell me the colour. WTF !
We don't like being told what to do, by anybody. That's one of the reasons we had Brexit😉

There was a saying in England during the war.. I like the Americans but I'm not sure about the white fellas they've brought with them.
Agreements between the 2 countries had the US military deal with legal matters concerning US military was delt with by the US military. It really couldn't be done any other way. In Australia a US soldier serial killer was tried and executed by the US army.
Anything by Thomas Sowell is worth watching.
"Black Troops ONLY" Segregation British-style. Hahahhaha
Just found this video,my grandfather was born and bread in west Virginia,he served in the second world war ,after being based in the uk (Nottingham wollaton hall ) he always praised the British on how they were treated compared to when they were in the us .
He told my dad a story about an old British shop keeper)asked him (theres a good chance your never going to wee youe family again,why are you willing to die for a country that dont care about you"......his response"theres more good in this world then bad,we cant let the bad overcome the good".....after the war ended he moved over to barmouth and married my grandma....yes this country has alot of problems,but my god,im so proud of this little island
Long live the Special Relationship!
Honour laws especially in the country you are in the UK has never segregated and even though there is racism here we are probably the most ethnically exepting countries in the world
what an audacity to come over here and try to tell us what to do in the UK! Glad the Pub landlords refused to obey
The sad thing is that even today there are these mentalities... Good Video
Great reaction, one thing that i thought would have changed a lot of this is FOOD !! 😋. Too many little pubs and bars, us Brits should have chosen say a really big pub in a given area , pooled staff and money from the smaller pubs , and served up food appealing to both British and Americans. Fish and chips, steak , chicken. And cold beer 🍺, not usually found in the UK. Many a fight comes from too much alcohol on an empty stomach. Heavy presence of both British and US military police, and no segregation. But this is all afterthought. At the time, no-one really had a plan . It was all make it up as you go along
I fear you don't remember food rationing during the war, and EVERYBODY had to have exactly the same..Potatoes were on ration and I never saw chicken until after the war! As for steak, the Americans would've had a conniption, if they'd been used to their huge slabs of meat....
Sadly you probably didn't have a choice conscription thank you all four what you did
There are some good bad British comidies id recomend you watch 60s/70s style. As an Island the UK can be narrow-minded & isolationist.. all that but.. as a Gen X ive seen so much change. From how people of all colours are portrayed on tv to how people are irl. The british military @ the time of WW2 said they left civilian matters to civilians. They tried to weezle out of inflicting segrigation on the population. As we didnt want that kind of restrictions on our people + the whole thing of not allowing others to dictate to us on our own land. Plus pub culture over here we take it seriously. Im Scotish & I grew up rural. The first black kid in our school had an english accent which we were kinda suspicious about? I think I was 8..? We have a game of calling points for rare colours of cars to keep kids entertained. Other non white colours were rare in the villages I lived in 80s/90s? It was that kind of surprise? As bad as it sounds. Because people stayed in the big cities where the jobs were? On day trips to Edinburgh we saw manny other different types of people. My very kid thought was how burnt did people get from where they came from & why did white me go red. I have read about other incidents between white American soldiers and locals & other fights about black Americans and white Americans. Brits can be very bloody yanks with tourists an all that but we have a soft spot for the underdog. There is a Scottish utuber who does history skits & one I watched recently was about law changes that kept miners beholden to mine owners. With comparisons to how slaves were treated & the laws they were all subjected to. Its history scotland tours? They used the law to keep people in horrible situations for multiple generations & unable to change things even if they ran. Economic slavery with no other ocupation allowed.
And all Europe after
