African decendants still celebrating European royalty after centuries of systematic atrocity.
Social conditioning.
Oh shut up already. Bermuda is a BRITISH COLONY. U dont wanna be part of it then move down to your precious islands. . Whether u like it or not its what we are. So donsomething useful for once oj. Contribute to society maybe? Just a thought
My whole point, European countries should be embarrassed and ashamed at how much genocide,turmoil and displacement of Culture they caused to aquire wealth for their Empires then expect non-European people to be subject to their culture and ideology.
Mmmmmm
What you have to understand about Onion Juice is that they aren’t outraged by colonialism, slavery, privilege and supremacy…
They’re jealous.
They don’t want the problem to be fixed.
They simply wish to be the one doing the oppressing.
The evidence of this is easy to see. Just look at how quickly they jump to oppress someone else when they have the privilege.
This way of thinking is bad for Bermuda, no matter who is doing it.
Uncondition yourself…I do not consider myself a monarchist in fact I think it is BS but you got to get on with your life.
Is that really the most appropriate response to this news? Like it or not people are celebrating the birth of a royal. If this is really how you feel then why even click the article in the first place. As a British Dependent Territory, Bermuda has chosen to celebrate, if you don’t agree with it then just don’t participate. I’m sure not everyone agrees with your every move in life. To each his own!
