Being From The Black Country | Darren Harriott: Stand Up For Live Comedy 

Also from the Black Country, and when at uni I’d say I was from there people would look at me like I was a raging racist

I’m from the Black Country & get the same bewilderment. And being white I get “Black Country? Are you being racist? “No, it’s a place” “But you’re being racist yeah?” “No, it’s a place. The Black Country is a place” You have to tell people SLOOOOWLY & thoroughly what “The Black Country” actually means. 🙄🙄 I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve had this conversation.

As the son of a Black Country lad living in America it's really awkward when people ask where my dad's from and i proudly say "The Black Country!" And people look at this white guy with absolute shock and horror. And when i tell them its not racist at all they say "Well if it's real does it have a flag or something"? And i just say let's not go down that path please it's awkward enough lol

I know what he means about London. I moved down to London 15 years ago, from West Bromwich (after spending my whole life in The BC) and some of the conversations I had back then were surreal. First, most insisted on calling me a Brummie. As true Black Country folks will know, nothing winds a yam yam up quicker than being called a Brummie. Two memorable conversations involved me explaining I was from The BC and she though I meant Africa. Another asked me if it was called The Black Country because there were a lot of immigrants living there.

The black country is massive here! Born and bred in Dudley!

Being an american living in Birmingham and having to go to Dudley every week for ⚽️, i find this somewhat relatable Ok i live in Solihull. But it’s close enough.

Black Country Power lunch: ::pint of bankseez n packet of scratching 😋

This video is sad because its not commonly known that the Midlands pay the overwhelming majority of the BBC licence fee but get nothing back. The BBC don't even have a tv studio here anymore, just a cupboard in a shopping centre (the mailbox) to record the local news. When he describes game of thrones and not seeing anyone from the midlands, it because the BBC takes our money and sends it down to London or up to Manchester. You can save yourself £150 per year (if you don't watch BBC, and tbh I don't know anyone under 50 who does), just by watching your tv shows on catch up! Horrible organization, the sooner they go subscription the better

i have lived in the uk my entire life and ive never heard of the black country lol i legit thought he meant like an african country or something

Naaah The black county looool

Dooooodleeeeee

Birmingham isn't part of the black Country...

Sorry to burst yeh bubble but brum ay part of the black country, to anyone watching lol

how do I know about the Black Country and people who live in London don't?? definitely no right to slag off Americans for failing at world geography...

40 years ago Lenny Henry put black people from the Black Country on the map. This is not as ground-breaking as you think, bab.

Interesting that BBC aren't reporting the breaking news that information from Hunter Biden's discarded laptop, proving that Hunter Biden and his father Presidential nominee Joe Biden, have been entangled in payoffs with Ukraine, and in bed with Russia for years! Facebook and Twitter are refusing to release the videos of these stories! This is a historical cover up and the BBC hasen't bothered to report on it? What's with that?
