What is BritainBritain is a small island washed by the Atlantic Ocean separated from the continent of Europe by a stretch of water known as the Channel. It is an island which of all the countries in Europe was and is the most successful colonial and imperial power in the world. Britain is a country of over 60 million people whose people and descendants have successfully dominated world history for four hundred years, in a way in which other larger countries in Europe have failed to do. How can this be? Because Britain’s children, the English speaking American’s now hold dominance in the world. (Australia is yet to
come.) The British way, language and culture, is still the dominate international force, even if this has been transmogrified into American English. A 1601 royal proclamation said that the Queen was, “highly disconcerted to understand the great numbers of Negroes and Blackamoores which are carried into [the] realm (England) ... the most of them [being] ... infidels having no understanding of Christ or his Gospel: hath given special commandment that the said kind of people shall be with all speed avoided and discharged out of this Her Majesty’s realms.” And you think the first black people came on the Empire Windrush in 1948!!! This domination is testament to the politics and culture of this island. Britain is a country, which has always had large numbers of black people (African descent) within its borders. Some of the first set of people to set foot here were almost certainly black and the traces of these aboriginal native blacks can be seen in the blood line of a thousand or more nations and tribes from Picts and Scots to the Black Kelts. These first blacks have been added to by wave upon wave of Africans, some of whom came exclusively, like the Moors and blackamores of the medieval and pre-medieval period or as part of a larger group of other people of mixed ethnic origin like the Black Romans (Septemus Severus etc) the Danes and Black Normans. Through the ages the traces of these peoples’ blood has turned through integration the blonde hair and blue eyes of whites dark brown. But what remains of the culture of these ancient blacks. Their memory lives on in the fairy stories of pixies, fairies and elves, goblins, mermaids, giants and ogres. Read those stories and they always end the same way with all the aforementioned dead and Jack the giant Killer as king. So this country has successfully obliterated and removed its transgressions against it’s native blacks and still does. Even worse since the blacks of these islands are still for the most part ignorant of their own history, even that of the last twenty years. Without that knowledge what place will they have?
