[Goanet] A Racist Conversation

2022-12-01 Thread Roland Francis
An interesting conversation showing overt racism by a British Royal Householder 
when taking to a born-in-Britain black woman (as reported by the BBC).

If you think it compares to a teeth pulling dental session, you wouldn’t be 
wrong.

Here is the full conversation, as recounted by Ms Fulani:

Lady SH: Where are you from?

Me: Sistah Space.

SH: No, where do you come from?

Me: We're based in Hackney.

SH: No, what part of Africa are you from?

Me: I don't know, they didn't leave any records.

SH: Well, you must know where you're from, I spent time in France. Where are 
you from?

Me: Here, the UK.

SH: No, but what nationality are you?

Me: I am born here and am British.

SH: No, but where do you really come from, where do your people come from?

Me: 'My people', lady, what is this?

SH: Oh I can see I am going to have a challenge getting you to say where you're 
from. When did you first come here?

Me: Lady! I am a British national, my parents came here in the 50s when...

SH: Oh, I knew we'd get there in the end, you're Caribbean!

Me: No lady, I am of African heritage, Caribbean descent and British 
nationality.

SH: Oh so you're from...

Hi Roland,
These Brit Royals don't know what to do with their time and, and as a 
past time, enjoy questioning & boring normal people.

These Royals should be abolished. What purpose do they serve?
The immense sums of money given to them by state for their upkeep can be 
used for much needed services for poorer people.


Best wishes
Eddie
