This is what happens when you impose yourself on a country that doesn’t want you fact of life. You say about the mother country but even white men were not allowed just to turn up in Australia And become citizensYeah was a process you had to go through to see if they would accept you. The blame must fall onto the British government to a degree we shouldn’t have taken them in but what we should’ve done was help him in Jamaica with the industry and a structure to bring it up to the modern world they would then be in a place they could call Home. Even after 75 years they are unable to call Britain Home it’s not there Home it never will be that Home. That’s not fair on any nation. Hopefully one day they will create their own civilisation that is something that they are proud off.
Slavery is still here the white people are more smarter than before that why they are they come up with farm work idea for black people if we are to work here in Jamaica for 6mounts we make more than what they paid it's just a mind set
To be honest I attended Jamaica Indipendence with kenyan president found that there many Kenyan leaving in Jamaica and like wise the two countries never had visas was all fun
@Brother Jake's Konservative Evolution no one told them where to live how to live the weather was cold in June...plenty work indeed... no introductions..yet Jamaicans rose to the occasion from air raid shelter to succeed🦁
Never judge a book by its cover. I'm going to admit that when I heard the accent of the white lady who has been married 47 years to a black man, her demeanour put me immediately in mind of my racist neighbours. If I never knew any better, that "stereotype" could have made me judge her wrongly. So in hindsight I'd be no better a person than my racist neighbours had I judged this book by its cover. Kudos to her, that she stuck to her guns and didn't allow the racist negativity of her family to rob her of love, happiness and 47 years of a beautiful marriage.
@Đark Destroyer In the Caribbean it was Barbados who first sent the letter to the UK with such an idea. You cannot change history. So bye my big fat jack ass.
@@cherylharewood2549 After the Windrush migrants( Who were never actually invited by Britain,contrary to popular myth),in the 50s,the Barbados government asked Britain to help Them out as Barbados was experiencing unemployment rates of up to 25% at that time.....that's where many of the bus drivers and train guards came from....
I read some of the comments here. We left England in 1971. My parents came in the 1950’s. I thought it would be better than the United States, I guess not!
damn dude, im white and british and this makes me feel awful. obviously i was not around in this time and i didnt do these things personally but either way i think the younger generation are much less narrow minded and more accepting to everyone. I dont hate anyone, no matter their colour, religion or background, but as im growing older im discovering the awful things us brits did. and this is on my own, we dont learn everything in school about what we did in north america or to the aboriginees in australia and even jamaicans and africans. there are a few british jamicans in my area and they're such lovely people, very warm and kind, they dont seem to mind about how badly we treated them in the past. im just glad we can live together with one another in peace.
My grandad did the same thing. Left my dad and his siblings and also his wife in Jamaica and never returned. He passed away there and no one ever saw him again. I'm saddened because I never got to meet him and worse my dad wanted to see him again. His name was Sylvester Smith from Wild Cane St Ann. I wonder if anyone would recognize his name. I would love to hear about his life in ENGLAND. Heard he have a whole new family there as well.
Do not forget the People of British Guiana (now Guyana,) who remained after the War and others who came and helped in the rebuilding of the U K.We are proud of being British
I think most Jamaicans would back at their times as colony with nostalgia, of course the english didn't treat them well in the 1800s, but by the 50s they were ok, there wasn't the type of racism that existed in America in Britain, people looked on them as being. The Windrush scandal today is not the feelings of the country, but of a small number of government officials, we all like the Jamaicans and west Indians here. The British treated them pretty fairly in the caribbean and much better than any french, spanish or even american would of!
We have been building Britian from slavery times and even to this day. Britian is our inheritance from the hard labour our ancestors and foreparents put into her. God paved the way for us to be here so we can reap their blood, sweat and tears. I will feel entitled to piece of this country because of this truth, no matter what anyone says.
Understand what you're saying but you don't wanna subject your descendants to these country were the majority of ppl don't look like them. Generally ppl phytologically assume they're better than someone that's darker than them.
Why didn’t the Queen speak out or defend the same people she begged to be in her country to rebuild England to what it is now. The treatment of the Windrush people and their descendants was and is disgusting.
This is an important part of history. It should be taught in schools. Caribbeans should be celebrated for their contribution to the building of Britain. In particular to how they built up areas of the UK after the world war when Hitler invaded Britain.

I am a Yorkshireman and disgusted with the British government’s action in illegally deporting Jamaicans ( among others) who went over there to live and work, mainly in the 1950s and 1960s. In my first job was with a municipal bus service, with around 250 buses ( if my memory is correct.) From time to time the general manager and traffic manager would take the train 250 miles to Southampton in order to offer the job of bus conductor to Jamaicans &/or other West Indians as they arrived by boat. Many became drivers and later found other jobs and some became self-employed driving instructors. All those persons and their British born families have paid British taxes and have legally the same rights as any Englishman. It is crimInal for the government, over the last three or so years to try to deport some of those immigrants. These include some of those who had never left Britain and therefore never applied for a passport and some who could not find the travel documents from five or six decades ago. They have also deported some who were brought up in Britain and know nothing of Jamaica, but have committed a crime in Britain. Fortunately Jamaicans in England welcome by most of the population and have enhanced the country, as have those from other Caribbean countries.
Granddad served in the British infantry. He survived. I can't imagine why he volunteered except to say it was a different time and that is just how things went back then.
how many people in the caribbean's knows these history if it's wasn't for this Documentary about what the caribbean's people do for the mother land English in those days. and now they have not been Recognized in the British society it's a Damn shame
My grandfather and his brother went during one of the World Wars. My grandfather hated it and returned shortly after. His brother stayed. The tale of two brothers. Lol
God Bless The Jamaican people who helped us defeat the Germans,the Jamaican people a very welcome here and ate a lovely people,your all very welcome here ,Blessings from Essex S&T
Nice I enjoy that piece of history thoroughly. I am not bitter with the grudges, just think was short of enough communication on both part. Nice we could contribute,and both parties benifited. Amazingly happy to have this preserved,priceless.
I cannot imagine the mental and emotional trauma, the black immigrants experience, just for the be so-called economic prosperity. Racism will always exist in this satanic and diabolic world. Only God's Kingdom government can bring everlasting relief from pain and suffering we experience today. Matthew 6:9 My father told me that many of his relative left St. Mary in the early days for England, he nor his father had never heard from them, probably they have become victims of the cold and wicked system.
My great-grandfather had a dual citizenship after he fought in the British army during WW2. He had a lot of land in JA so he never wanted to migrate but two of his eldest daughters went to England for school. My grandmother never wanted to go. She stayed until she finished her teaching degree at UWI then came to America instead. She goes to England all the time to visit her sisters & her nephews. She always said England was nice but there was more money in America. Lol. My family is scattered everywhere now- Canada, UK, NYC, Bahamas, and very few left in JA.

Do you think he's referring to machine or petrol? Are you really that ignorant along with the others who thumbed up your statement? Coconut oil. After you wash you moisturized with coconut oil or Aloe. Today coconut oil is used by Black and white Americans today for the same purpose we used it for back then. in Jamaica it was also the dominate cooking oil and it gives the food such an amazing flavour. Ignorance has no colour barrier. Said to see such ignorance Blacks can have towards each other.
So the Jamaicans were used to fly the planes to carpet bomb Europe knowing English men would not have been involved in such war crimes. I've never heard before about the Caribbean men being recruited for this engagement. What I see is one bloke say how he read Hitler said that Blacks and Jews live similarly, then when Jamaicans return it's as dire as it was from when they were recruited. Seems to me Hitler wasn't wrong then? Or what's going on. Meanwhile the English were being genocided in their homes, or packaged off to other colonies, Rhodesia, Australia, New Zealand, while Pakistanis, Indians and Caribbeans were recruited in. There's something not right with the British Empire... oh yes, opium! Look at Jamaica's problems now, where are the Empire leaders to protect Jamaica from Communism and drugs? Pfft!
david Milton this reason why they're called "West Indians" is because when Columbus discovered the region he named it the West Indies. He thought he'd reach India but he was wrong, since then no one has been bothered to change it.
Hearing all these historical stories this world. this social ideologies and construct has left a corrupted and wicked lineage to be living in and to say we all have blood running through our bodies and we treat each other so terrible during those times.
my grand feather served in 40s war. whan the was done he want back to jamaica.he had madal to show for it and them give him peace of land. he diden't like were the land was.he had his own land were he live in st elizabeth. bless.🏝🏖🌅🥃
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7) Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:12-13)
A wah d rahtid this man, tap grieve me. How comes no migration back to Africa? Lost roots, thank goodness for what was brought and taught through tradition by our ancestors.
M Cameron because we are the Arawaks The Americas is our mother we were moved around island to island and to the mainland A lot of our ancestors were sent to Africa to colonize it this is where u get Sierra Leone and Liberia we gave those ppl language and culture we are America is the cradle of civilization Most of Africa is a desert
@@TymeBamm Egypt is the craddle for Civilization as so for slavery. Due to the disposition of slaves to the western world, "our" ancestors are scattered to now develop the other side of the world. My comment was a reaction to the derrogatory statement placed in the video yet it is still informative ( in general). Thank you for your elaboration.
@@MeeksCameron How is Egypt the cradle of civilization? when a 100 years ago that area wasn't call Egypt you gotta stop regurgitating the so called scholars theory do your genealogy and find out who you are ask your grandmother where was she from and ask her if her mother told her she came from Africa that's how you research
I did my genealogy research and know who I am and my lineage, so before you rebut there is no need to argue. I have read and I have not stopped from doing so. We all have different opinions and some to agree to disagree.
They were brought here to cover for troops abroad in the labour market . Never expected to stay. This was against the wishes of the English people. The experience with them has been an unpleasant and bloody one .
When will black ppl wake up this is not our land .. this is Native American people land . Smh we just don’t get it we will never overcome the oppressor till we build that connection back with Africa and not only that we must find what tribes we are rooted from .
It's disgraceful to know u came and fought oh they loved u then with their fake welcome and fake smiles has soon has they had no use for u they treated u like shit
Did these folk read Dickens the grim conditions during the industrial revolution or just read anything about the UK the Irish civil war Oh bwoy the importance of reading with understanding.

They were just going back home. If you love Jamaica as must as you say please take some time and learn the real history of Jamaica contained in the video links provided. Did you know Jamaica has the most Scottish last name outside of Scotland? Did you know the Jamaican Language call Patwa/Patios sound some what Irish? Have you ever wondered why the Jamaican Flag is basically the same as Scotland but with different colours? Did you know there is currently parts of Ireland that still speak and sound close to the Jamaican Patwa.

Nice I enjoy that piece of history thoroughly. I am not bitter with the grudges, just think was short of enough communication on both part. Nice we could contribute,and both parties benifited. Amazingly happy to have this preserved,priceless.
Still relevant to this day😔
I cannot imagine the mental and emotional trauma, the black immigrants experience, just for the be so-called economic prosperity. Racism will always exist in this satanic and diabolic world. Only God's Kingdom government can bring everlasting relief from pain and suffering we experience today. Matthew 6:9
My father told me that many of his relative left St. Mary in the early days for England, he nor his father had never heard from them, probably they have become victims of the cold and wicked system.
My great-grandfather had a dual citizenship after he fought in the British army during WW2. He had a lot of land in JA so he never wanted to migrate but two of his eldest daughters went to England for school. My grandmother never wanted to go. She stayed until she finished her teaching degree at UWI then came to America instead. She goes to England all the time to visit her sisters & her nephews. She always said England was nice but there was more money in America. Lol. My family is scattered everywhere now- Canada, UK, NYC, Bahamas, and very few left in JA.
West Indians were used..we still aren't treated properly. When W.W3 start they will come for us again..
Jelousy is the root of beautiful melanin peoples problems.
Glory to all those brave soldiers who fought for us.
" Lest we forget ."
Spot on. Brave men.
Us who?
Trust in The Lord God for He is good and His mecry endoreth for all genarations be blessed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen.

What is the name of the book,it would be informative.
Great men... Hats off to them..

Some of the things he said were lovely and truly modernist even for the time
I wonder how we africans came from Africa but calling UK our mada land
Some serious cases of Stockholm syndrome
Ulric cross was Trinidadian. The air guard base at Piarco is named after him.
Is there a part 2....? Because it cut off at the end.....!!!

The real name of the Documentary is "The Wind Rush" named after the ship that brought West Indians to GB after WWII. Look up on RUclips. A BBC documentary

I can’t take many messages from this story...... give thanks to the generations b4 us
I have never heard of black people washing with oil and I am black...????
Do you think he's referring to machine or petrol? Are you really that ignorant along with the others who thumbed up your statement? Coconut oil. After you wash you moisturized with coconut oil or Aloe. Today coconut oil is used by Black and white Americans today for the same purpose we used it for back then. in Jamaica it was also the dominate cooking oil and it gives the food such an amazing flavour. Ignorance has no colour barrier. Said to see such ignorance Blacks can have towards each other.
@kwacou
You could answer without taking your anger out on others.
@@kwacou4279 all you had to do was inform,not with all that unnecessary sarcasm dam🙄
Question what were they fighting for anyway ?
It was this little thing called World War 2...........
@@TRUTHTEACHER2007 But what was they fighting for?
@@FHIPrincePeter you don't know what started World War 2?
Every war starts n ends the same. U fight for Gold Oil Leadership & Diamonds (gold) i think
@@Hi-mf3dd basically control of Africa? Maybe?
my grand father fought in world war 2
Now jamaican cant even go england
We soon fully free and Jamaica becomes Republic.
wow so, in other words, they helped build England hmmm poor souls and not much different now attitude wise
So the Jamaicans were used to fly the planes to carpet bomb Europe knowing English men would not have been involved in such war crimes. I've never heard before about the Caribbean men being recruited for this engagement. What I see is one bloke say how he read Hitler said that Blacks and Jews live similarly, then when Jamaicans return it's as dire as it was from when they were recruited. Seems to me Hitler wasn't wrong then? Or what's going on. Meanwhile the English were being genocided in their homes, or packaged off to other colonies, Rhodesia, Australia, New Zealand, while Pakistanis, Indians and Caribbeans were recruited in. There's something not right with the British Empire... oh yes, opium! Look at Jamaica's problems now, where are the Empire leaders to protect Jamaica from Communism and drugs? Pfft!
Pay attention.
How many times are they referred to as "Indians" ?
West Indian.
david Milton this reason why they're called "West Indians" is because when Columbus discovered the region he named it the West Indies. He thought he'd reach India but he was wrong, since then no one has been bothered to change it.
Is there a part 2 to this documentary as it stops abruptly? If so would love to see the rest of this documentary where can I find part 2?
great doc
Hearing all these historical stories this world. this social ideologies and construct has left a corrupted and wicked lineage to be living in and to say we all have blood running through our bodies and we treat each other so terrible during those times.
Just sad how bad black people were treated not only in the United States, but all around the world.
My father Kenneth Bolton joined the Royal Air Force!
May we have the rest of the documentary?
This is the Windrush documentary, here is part 1: ruclips.net/video/YGTm_Gsvyzw/видео.html

Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. (Isaiah 55:7)
Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. (Joel 2:12-13)
A wah d rahtid this man, tap grieve me. How comes no migration back to Africa?
Lost roots, thank goodness for what was brought and taught through tradition by our ancestors.
Truuuu
M Cameron because we are the Arawaks The Americas is our mother we were moved around island to island and to the mainland A lot of our ancestors were sent to Africa to colonize it this is where u get Sierra Leone and Liberia we gave those ppl language and culture we are America is the cradle of civilization Most of Africa is a desert
@@TymeBamm Egypt is the craddle for Civilization as so for slavery. Due to the disposition of slaves to the western world, "our" ancestors are scattered to now develop the other side of the world.
My comment was a reaction to the derrogatory statement placed in the video yet it is still informative ( in general).
Thank you for your elaboration.
@@MeeksCameron How is Egypt the cradle of civilization? when a 100 years ago that area wasn't call Egypt you gotta stop regurgitating the so called scholars theory do your genealogy and find out who you are ask your grandmother where was she from and ask her if her mother told her she came from Africa that's how you research
I did my genealogy research and know who I am and my lineage, so before you rebut there is no need to argue. I have read and I have not stopped from doing so. We all have different opinions and some to agree to disagree.
It. Was. a. Disgrace. then. and. Still is. today.
Thanks for telling this story i enjoy .
They were brought here to cover for troops abroad in the labour market . Never expected to stay. This was against the wishes of the English people. The experience with them has been an unpleasant and bloody one .
When will black ppl wake up this is not our land .. this is Native American people land . Smh we just don’t get it we will never overcome the oppressor till we build that connection back with Africa and not only that we must find what tribes we are rooted from .
Too many are afraid to identify with Africa, dare I say ashamed even?
wow. never. known THANKS. good. Documentary
Now they want to ship your asses back so you can't collect your retirement.
I am fine my father is name I is Carlton Anthony Brown born on March 27th I n buff bay Portland Jamaica in 19 62 for England
Are you kidding me? In the middle of the documentary and the video ends ????
So the main areas of settlement mention between 21:59 to 22:21.
It's disgraceful to know u came and fought oh they loved u then with their fake welcome and fake smiles has soon has they had no use for u they treated u like shit
Did You Here That Word Immigrants. And Yet Still Was A British Colony. Or Commonwealth Did Alot Of JAMAICANS Know That Their! Or English Citizens.
Where's the rest of the video?
Did these folk read Dickens the grim conditions during the industrial revolution or just read anything about the UK the Irish civil war Oh bwoy the importance of reading with understanding.
23:28 Is that little boy picking through the pocket? ha ahh haaa ah ha cute picture
Very interesting documentary.
In view of the treatment given to the Windrush generation and their offsprings , apart from some 'coconuts', lots of people have wised up!
The music weren't their taste, eh? Now, reggae is an integral part of England. You are welcome, England.
So are knives, drill and weed
AND THEY GOT NOTHING NOT EVEN A PASSPORT ......THIS IS WHY I CAN'T WATCH THESE VIDEOS ...... THE MAN SAID THE ASK WHEN ARE THEY GOING BACK HOW HOW USED CAN ONE FEEL AFTER HEARING THAT
Great stuff!
wow, interesting documentary
Where is the rest!!!!!!!!!!!
The real name of the Documentary is "The Wind Rush" named after the ship that brought West Indians to GB after WWII. Look up on RUclips. A BBC documentary
Umm what kinda ending is that?
@3:41 he a real one for that big ups
"west Indians"... it sounds so stupid.
Dare to say "carribean Nubians" 😄
They were just going back home.
If you love Jamaica as must as you say please take some time and learn the real history of Jamaica contained in the video links provided.
Did you know Jamaica has the most Scottish last name outside of Scotland? Did you know the Jamaican Language call Patwa/Patios sound some what Irish? Have you ever wondered why the Jamaican Flag is basically the same as Scotland but with different colours? Did you know there is currently parts of Ireland that still speak and sound close to the Jamaican Patwa.
The history of Jamaica that is taught in School is the history given to us by our conquerors and colonizers.
