Getting upset with the lack of English-speaking people in England.

The KKK lynched, murdered, killed and opressed black people.

The two are not comparable.

It's a ghetto. No one around there is British. They have no British little to no influence to learn "britishness" from.

So you dont have any problem with the KKK displaying white power?

I think you are confused, the Black Power movement was initiated in order give fellow African-Americans the same writes as their White American counterparts after the oppressive years prior, It's main focus was on equality between races. KKK focuses on a entirely different notion, they were plain racists who were against the the abolition of slavery and terrorised many African-Americans, including murder,rape etc. I suggest you do some research before typing up nonsense.

And the black panthers havent done similar things to white people? granted not on the same scale but you cant justify black power as a provocation for white power.

just shows how warped your moral compass is.

The black power movement and the civil rights movement were not all the same thing. A large part of the black power movement was fairly anti white and conflicted with the equal rights the civil rights movement wanted. Not all, but that doesn't mean there were not pretty extreme racists as part of the various sections of the movement that were not a part of civil rights movement.

Who said that if you were a supporter of the Black Power movement, you also supported the Black Panthers. If you did your research, there were many people who opposed the Black Panthers. This is like saying that If I was a Muslim, I am also a supporter of Al qaeda.

You clearly lack the knowledge on this issue.

I clearly stated not all so you entire comment is pointless.

The black power movement for far more extreme than not though. There are people who genuinly are not racist but support the bnb - does this mean the bnb is not racist?
The black power movement was not that bad throughout, but why support this movement in the light of one campaigning for nothing but equality and peace? It is a fairly suspect choice to make when it comes down to it.

i agree that if you live in England you should learn the language.
also if your not racist why support the bnb? their whole belief and values as a political group is disgusting.

Well, I admit i don't live in Britain so I have no idea of the scale of your problem. I guess i find it rude when someone who can speak English talks loudly and in a distracting manner in another language on the phone. However, for the OP to pick out Indians and Ghanians was, i believe, misguided. Most Indians actually do speakl English and talk English on the phones. Obviously when talking to relatives, overseas friends or grandparents they may chat in their own language..but if it is nothing rude or disturbing i don't see the harm in it. They would, i'm sure, still love their adopted land and consider themselves British. How come people are silent when Scottish or Irish people are proud of their heritage and not being labelled British or when they express hostility to the British?


I was just providing a story to compare. It's not meant to be taken seriously. I just find that immigrants are blamed for everything on tsr when many actually try hard to fit in. I'm sure there are bigger problems then a few people not being able to speak English. If people can't speak English then they are just restricting their work opportunities and isolating themselves. However, if the person arrived as a grandparent or a retired person in the UK speaking broken english i don't think they deserve to be treated rudely.


Anyway it's your opinion i'm not going to be having a benny over it.

I'm sure the curries may have been modified when they came here. But the original recipes, the spices and how they should be used etc all came from Asia. I'm sure even the person who invented the curries got inspiration from overseas. Besides, i highly doubt the whole world of curries started out in the UK. A particular british brand maybe.

I was just giving the OP and his gf advice. If they resent the gf's culture so much then maybe it is best to live a British lifestyle and cut cultural links rather than tarnishing whole categories from a particular background, especially since they have contributed so much when it comes to art, business and in the sporting field.

It doesn't feel like England is actually English any more. At least not in certain cities. I'm surrounded by so many people who don't speak English, it feels like I'm a tourist in my own country. It makes me feel awkward and uneasy. I don't know what they are saying, nor why so many Europeans insist on shouting at each other, whilst the Asians shout at people on their phones. So many people come here and don't make the effort to integrate at all with our society, so subsequently it's getting washed out. England does have a culture, and people who come here should embrace it, not smother it with their cultures from other countries. It's not un-PC to reserve Englishness!

I hate going into a shop and not being understood. I'm English! If you have a job where you are working in England and speaking to English people then you should know English! Why can people like that get jobs when so many of our own can't get them - and no it's not laziness.

It's just really making me upset. I hate the people on here who complain about how **** England is, and have their flags as India or Ghana, but they would never actually live there. If you're English, you're English. If you hate this country, you can piss off.

Unfortunately anonymous because this is spurred on by my girlfriend and her family who keep insisting that I should learn their language. No, you're in England, you learn English!
