This country is predominantly a white European country and black persons originate from Africa a completely different continent.

And it is not racist to state that genetic fact.

[THECORBYLOON]

ANOTHEOLDGIT, you are responsible for your superiority complex, although you regularly fail when attempting to demonstrate it.

[THECORBYLOON]

A black person born in Corby originates from Corby not from Africa.

Their ancestors didn't though, that's the point

[Sqad]

Thank you Finny.......that indeed was my point re. this thread.

[THECORBYLOON]

Is that black person an immigrant?

[FinnyMick]

Not technically an immigrant, but the descendant of an immigrant, hope that clears it up for you.

[Garaman]

More than half of Brits have immigrant ancestors.

[THECORBYLOON]

A British person born in the UK to someone who has gained UK citizenship is not an immigrant but only technically?

[ummmm]

And back to the Notting Hill Carnival....

[FinnyMick]

People may be proud of their heritage.

"Roots" by Alex Haley springs to mind.

[Zacs-Master]

We all originate in Africa.

[Sqad]

CORBY......you keep leaving out the adjective BLACK which is essential to this thread, the immigrants HAVE to be black to be labeled as black immigrants.....the whole point of the thread.

[Mamyalynne]

Ummmm, back to the Carnival ?


What, when there's so much squabbling to be done - not for a while.

[Kromovaracun]

Being "British" is a question of citizenship. If you're a citizen of the United Kingdom, you're British - if not, you're not. That's the simplest way to proceed without all these tiresome distinctions.

Also there is always a degree of crime at every form of public gathering. If you're not against public gatherings per se, that objection to Notting Hill Carnival doesn't stand up.

//We all originate in Africa.//

Robert Mugabe doesn't think so. Do the "White Immigrants" have a nice knees up annually in Harare?

[Zacs-Master]

Sqad, that's NOT the whole point of the thread at all. It's supposed to be about crime associated with NHC.

[Zacs-Master]

Togo. I see you're another 'all black people must be immigrants' proponent.

[Sqad]

Zacs......you are quite correct, but as the majority of AB debates, they go off course.

[Zacs-Master]

Yeah I know.
