It states that this national sentiment comes with “the implication that only those with a historical tie to the land have a right to belong”.

Funny because the implication is wrong in Britain but if you ask these same types of people about the Americas or Australia the same implication is suddenly very correct. They need to just cut the BS and say what they really mean which is "white people don't belong anywhere"

They'll fiercely argue that very point for Palestinians, on the one hand, but then just as fiercely deny it for the Israelis on the other. So clearly, there's also a cutoff point for these historical ties that applies to time as well as race.

Because how dare Britons (the dirty white ones, obviously) feel any sort appreciation for their national heritage as depicted in these images, right?

and some rich first-generation chick with a degree in how bad she has it of course is given free rein to have all the schools, museums, newspapers, and TV specials to tell everyone that Stonehenge was really created by Jamaicans

Pfft, there's no way that Stonehenge was made by Jamaicans. If it had been, there'd be so much weed residue on those stones that you'd get a contact high just touching one, even now :p.

Everyone knows Stonehenge was built by Aliens. But what we didn't know is that those aliens were black.

None of your archive links ever work for me.

Not sure what the issue is. Here's the original link.

Today I learned I'm apparently "racist" for owning a Thomas Kinkade painting. Although, I'm probably already considered "racist" for everything else I do, including brushing my teeth.

It's established that the Japanese aristocracy during the Edo period, between about 1600 and the 1800, consider blackening the teeth of married women to be en vogue. Clearly they fared about George Floyd (inshallah) long before the west did.
