We Are Black And British

DISCLAIMER
Just in case this thread pops up in “Active”. This is a contribution to the Black Mumsnetters board which was established to be a safe space for black women and allies to discuss issues of interest black women, from racism to African history, from black hair care to culture-specific issues in relationships. If you feel triggered, nothing here is an attack on you. I would hate for a thread centering black experience to be hijacked so that it ends about centering those who may have hurt feelings because this discussion may be uncomfortable for them. Thank you!

Anyone watch this on BBC2 (or on iPlayer)?

My issues, apart from how the participants were selected, was that all the participants were young.

I watched this and really enjoyed it! I found it interesting how the doctor refused to say what his type was 🤣

I would love to have a dinner date with Professor Kehinde. He is so intelligent.

I watched it last night. Very interesting to have an insight into how other peoples experiences shape their perceptions of what it means to be Black and British. If ever there was a programme to illustrate just how much we are not a monolith, this was it!

You don't get to set up and lead a department if you are stupid.

RedWingBoots. Yes that is true. It goes without saying I guess. But yeah I have a soft spot for him.

@emuloc that's because he has passion as well as intelligence.

@bloodyhellwhyme yes I found that interesting. I think that shows that he is more attracted to white women and seriously didn't feel comfortable saying it. Him and his brother were so funny though.

That's a bit harsh, he said he had no preference.

Lots of black people don't.
