      Black Brits have to deal with the diminished British Empire. Nothing transformed this species more than Britain at her height. Institutions they are challenging over there are *formidable.* The British empire spawned the demons we've battled for centuries here. Different fight.

      The United States is the daughter empire. We're talking about the mother here. The empire that spawned this settler-colonial nation is the reason why I am Tweeting this in English, and you're reading this and understand every single word. Theirs is a different fight.

      A few years ago, I read that Cambridge had no Black faculty as of 2010. Imagine if Harvard had no Black faculty 10 years into the 21st century. Just imagine. There's no comparison. The US is the violent child. The UK? *Displaced more of Homo sapiens than anyone else in history.*

      That's why I sit here and eat my food when my people talk about Black Brits taking over Hollywood and "why don't they build their own industry over there?" Read what happened to Ireland and Wales before they laid eyes on our ancestors' countries. Just... read medieval history.

          The Duchess' mom is a Black American woman, and so, she is our business. But Imma leave Black Brits alone. That great beast formerly known as the British Empire is something else. I respect activists over there for fighting in their own way. Especially the younger generations.

          ALL OF THIS. And the medieval history as well as the field... SIGH.

          So important. (Been following the recent controversies over "Anglo-Saxon." SMH.)

          In 1989 or 1990, I had lunch at UofM with the British historian Eric Hobsbawm and got into a big argument with him over which country was more racist--the U.S. or England. Each thought our own country was most racist, but neither country came off well.

          Those Black Brits are in Hollywood in the first place because of the barriers they face in finding roles in Britain.
