Is the English concept of 'royalty' racist?

Diana did not have that extra marital affair till after Harry was born.

She Told You Who She Was Fuckin' And When

The Brit monarchy lets a token racial minority into the club every now and then but he/she doesn't have the bluest of the blue blood to be king or queen. The royal lineage is well defined and it ain't brown or black. The country formerly known as England is so out of touch that it still separates Parliament into the categories of "common" and "lord".

How can Royalty be racist, when a bi racial American(and divorced) has been admitted to its ranks?

We shall see this racism if her offspring become either King or Queen.

Won't happen.

Divorce used to be the disclaimer, regardless of race.

The British are a pretty reprehensible people.

If you don’t believe me, just ask the Irish.

No they are not.


And I've just asked them.

I’ll add that to the list of things you can’t back up.

Do that. As it's a matter of life and death to you.

I've been drinking coffee with a guy from Dublin, while I was off line.

I asked him that question.

But you'll just have to take my word for it. As you were not here in person.

A lot of childish gibberish at play here....whatever happened to this board?

It was not all that long ago when one could get a reasonably intelligent discussion going...now it seems a rarity.

It's no longer unacceptable to hate the English in Ireland

English ignorance about Ireland just isn’t funny anymore

There is a long tradition of anti-British sentiment, and often more specifically Anglophobia, within Irish nationalism. Much of this was grounded in the hostility felt by the largely Catholic poor for the Anglo-Irish gentry, which was mainly Anglican. In post-famine Ireland, anti-English hostility was adopted into the philosophy and foundation of the Irish nationalist movement. At the turn of the 20th century, the Celtic Revival movement associated the search for a cultural and national identity with increasing anti-colonial and anti-English sentiment.

A feeling of anti-English sentiment intensified within Irish nationalism during the Boer War leading to xenophobia underlined by Anglophobia. In 2011, tensions and anti-English or anti-British feelings flared in relation to the proposed visit of Elizabeth II, the first British monarch to visit Ireland in 101 years. An anti-Queen demonstration was held at the GPO Dublin by a group of Irish Republicans on 26 February 2011, and a mock trial and decapitation of an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II were carried out by socialist republican group Éirígí. Other protests included one Dublin publican hanging a banner declaring "the Queen will never be welcome in this country"[15] during her visit.[16]

Divine right of kings, political doctrine in defense of monarchical absolutism, which asserted that kings derived their authority from God and could not therefore be held accountable for their actions by any earthly authority such as a parliament. Originating in Europe, the divine-right theory can be traced to the medieval conception of God’s award of temporal power to the political ruler, paralleling the award of spiritual power to the church. By the 16th and 17th centuries, however, the new national monarchs were asserting their authority in matters of both church and state. King James I of England (reigned 1603–25) was the foremost exponent of the divine right of kings, but the doctrine virtually disappeared from English politics after the Glorious Revolution (1688–89). In the late 17th and the 18th centuries, kings such as Louis XIV (1643–1715) of France continued to profit from the divine-right theory, even though many of them no longer had any truly religious belief in it. The American Revolution (1775–83), the French Revolution (1789), and the Napoleonic wars deprived the doctrine of most of its remaining credibility.

It's you who has the ignorance. And obviously an axe to grind against the English.

I know the Irish don’t care for the English.

And for good reason. The English have a long and distinguished history of being jack booted thugs.
