You Fox News watchers need to get passports. In Kenya all you have to do is to achieve middle class status. Then your life can be better than if you're middle class in most European countries. Travel a bit, man.
Middle class in Kenya is having running water and a cement floor instead of a dirt floor.
I’ll let you travel to Kenya and stay there.
I strongly urge you to travel, sir. But not to Kenya, as things tend not to go too well for the benighted.
Britain still thinks it was the good guy just because Hitler was bad.
The British empire is GONE FOREVER, and this coulda-woulda-shoulda stuff about still exploiting the Kenyans only shows you have learned NOTHING.
Face it. The world figured out you're pompous wig-wearing fops who never brush your teeth and eat disgusting food, and most importantly no better than anyone else. You haven't figured it out. We're way ahead of you.
About the only worthwhile thing any of you have done in the past 50 years is that video where you slap each other with fish. Why is the only part of your culture we like the part where you mock yourselves? Think on this, pasty-skinned yellow-haired bog-dwellers.
Racism on this board is crazy.
But hey, it's only the Brits that are the targets.
I wonder what percentage of visitors here are British? I wonder what percentage of Google Ad clicks that the Brojos crave so much are from GB?
I'm not going to descend to the level here, but I would say it's quite staggering the apparent blissful ignorance displayed by some of the Americans here as to the way in which your countrymen are absolutely despised by the rest of the world.
I travel a lot, and I'm glad I'm don't have to travel as an American (and if i did I'd actually try to make an effort to blend in.

No need to attempt to get U.S. citizens to stop criticizing G.B. due to fear of lack of British commerce. G.B. is not China-2019. England by square miles is about the size of Pennsylvania. Those of us not from PA do not kiss ass to PA and we are not going to shake in fear regarding commerce between U.S.A and G.B. Whomever started a thread wishing for the grand old days of a thriving British Empire were going to also get responses many Brits would not want to hear. If you are going to buy a few less NIKE, oh well. Re: U.S. citizens traveling. You make good points. There have been threads regarding U.S. & empire-flexing. Many of those threads get taken down. Do not change the subject. This thread started by O.P. is O.P. wishing for a return of British Empire. You could be O.P. for all I know.

Try again. British are a nation, not a race, and you're nobody's victim. You're a former empire getting your just deserts.
America's an empire too? So what. So you lost your empire first, boo hoo. Go ahead and diss the US but don't whine about what you get.

Tell me what was the exchange rate vs the US dollar in 1963 and what is it now?

Brits may actually be a race, 90% of white Brits are Celts. English, Irish, Scots and Welsh are all the same. Norman and Viking invasions had little genetic impact.

What's the point in asking historic currency price? Your question proves nothing. If el K correctly were to give you the currency price, would you agree Brit Empire had many faults? If el K does not know the currency exchange rate, that means what? Be happy that some form of English language is the language for international commerce. That is all you Brits have left: well spoken English.

Brits are as much of a race as most European 'races'. Certainly way more of a race than the yanks.
Little to distinguish Irish from Brits as far as DNA is concerned, which is obvious anyway to anyone with eyes.
Sorry Bad Wiggins, even if you traced 100% of your ancestry to the Irish (instead of the typical 2% of the average 'Irish American'), you'd still be the same race as us limey b a $ t @ rds.
Even El K has said here that Kenyans are a mix of 50 different ethnic tribes, like every African country, yet it doesn't stop him pulling the race card time and time again.
Britain gave the modern world the... well, the modern world.
USA gave us Big Macs, obesity, political correctness and Islamic terrorism.
And to be fair, what Americans did to uprisings to their quasi empire in places like Korea makes the Brits attempts to deal with stuff like the Mau Mau uprising look like kids gloves.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_North_Korea_1950-1953This thread was started, maybe by you Coevette in order for Brits to bask in thought of their previous empire days. Now Coevette, you're engaging in what aboutism. Coevette, if G.B. is so great, why did you have to move to eastern Europe to obtain work? Feel free to start a separate thread regarding U.S. empire-like behavior and Korean conflict. If you're throwing in the towel regarding attempts of Brit loving posters attempts to justify how Brits treated the colonized, feel free to admit it so we can type EOT.

That's not correct. There's very little Celtic DNA found with white British - almost a third of white British have DNA of modern-day Germans (Anglo-Saxons). In fact, your House of Windsor is of German paternal descent.

The Anglo-Saxon migrations from the mid-fifth to early seventh centuries had a major effect on the population. Celtic ancestry may be the dominant trait in areas like Scotland, Wales and Ireland but I would expect Saxon ancestry to be the most dominant in England. In reality though everybody of British ancestry is going to have a hotch potch of ancestors all the way back to the Beaker People.
By the way, the Normans were Vikings who settled in Northern France and intermarried with the Franks.

Great, another dipsh*t liberal overusing the word racism to make it fit their agenda. Way to muck up the thread with your liberal flag waving finger pointing views. Look in the mirror and see what's staring back. A racist perhaps?
yeah, it would hit different..
An interesting topic for discussion. I've been messing around a lot after reading an article about the Boston massacre. I thought about the British colony in different countries of the world, I also found this post https://phdessay.com/free-essays-on/boston-massacre/ about what happened in the aftermath of colonization. And in general, it is now very unacceptable for me to hear about active colonies in our time.
