Radio 1xtra 'What Is Black British Culture?'
In this video made by Radio 1Xtra I can gather from the video that the views of both the black race and white race were different, regardless of whether the were British or not. The opinions differ in the extract as some black people who live in Britain still say that they are Carribean or African and on the other hand some of them said that they are now black British even though they are descendants of African or Carribean families.
I think the term 'Black Britain' is what was brought over by the West Indies and the people of the Carribean as they brought this term to light when they reached Britain. Some of the other things that these races brought over was new food cuisines, a different fashion sense, new languages and new accents. In the 1940's people from the West Indies thought they were coming to the mother land, a place of dream where everything was happening, however thins didn't really turn out like that and this is where the Black British Culture began. The only place for them to have gathering would be house parties. The Majority of people that came to Britain were Jamaican so they bought the dialect Patois with them. This is because before the WW2 Britain still owned the biggest empire the world has ever seen, owning such countries like Carrabian.
