I know it's a very general question, but I purposely meant it that way. Are there any at all? If so, if someone could let me know either here or via PM I'd greatly appreciate it.

The Black Presence in Britain - Black British History


Could you possibly be more specific in what you mean by Black British Life?

I'll try to be specific. And thanks for your help.

I've visited London before and just want to know what's it's like to be Black in Great Britain - whether it's from a historical point of view or modern point of view. I'm not sure how much that'll help....

ETA: I just checked out the Charcoal Ink blog and I like it. It has a bunch of other blogs listed on it as well. I subscribed to both of your suggested blogs.

black female dj blog
Figa DJ
YouTube - FigaDJ's Channel
Rukus - uk rapper / producer
RUKADIARY
his youtube channel seems more up to date
YouTube - otrstar's Channel
