I've never been prouder to be a black Englishman. Words I'd never think I'd say before. An England team built of the back of diversity and multiculturalism has reached the finals of a major tournament, something to celebrate.

Bunch of weirdo snowflakes on this site, I swear.

ITS'. COMING. HOME.

Serious question; if a similar poster had been published of just the white players in the England squad, with the heading “white supremacy ( for example) would you have accepted it without complaint, bearing in mind the majority are White. You brought race into this

Nothing wrong with being proud to be Black and English in my book.

However, there is a problem with being proud to be White and English. If you say that publically, you would be branded a racist.

See the problem?

I’m proud to be white and English. It’s not racist. I just don’t think it makes me any better than anyone else by being either of those things.

That may be so, but you do often come on here with a supremely arrogant and superior attitude..... And insult all & sundry.

I could quote many of your previous postings but couldn't really be bothered.

So if England is so diverse and multicultural they don't need to kneel anymore. Jobs done I guess.
Also the 66 team was mostly if not all white, are you proud of that achievement. I am so am I racist.
Think hard as you brought colour into last night's performance.

I was born in 1984, the 66 team has nothing to do with my lifetime

That's the most important point. Me saying I'm proud of being black and English is pride of my culture and heritage and not that either of those things make me better than anyone else.

Can't argue with that except that there is a section of society that does think that White pride = racism.

Frankly, I'm not particualrly proud of something that I was born with and had no choice in.
I don't really understand why anyone else is proud of their skin either. I don't object to such feelings but it seems rather irrational to me.

I take much greater issue with the clear double standards that surround race matters.

Where did I mention supremacy? It's an awful example and your brain went there. Why? I later followed up with my pride of a multicultural England team. That includes the white players.

Serious question, and generalising. Why do you believe blacks do so well at running and jumping and music but not at academia or business?

Serious question if you care to take it on.

I can only answer for myself and I excelled at athletic endeavours, academia and business

Genuinely had no idea Kalvin Phillips was black.

Most likely mixed race. But then so is Ryan Giggs. At the end of the day as much as people try to obfuscate, their racial perspective of others is based on skin colour bundled with lazy generalisations and little else.

Really?

That's some change considering months ago on here you directly stated, 'what is English anyway', directly arguing against the idea of the English ethnicity.....which, by the way, is officially recognised.
