I would have to disagree with you here, Spain was the rule of Queen Isabella and was aligned to Rome, Capital city of Catholicism. hence why they sought to convert native Americans to Christianity on their second voyage back to the new world. the moors which were not exaclty black like everyone like most Africans like to portray invaded southern of Spain, Portugal and Italy. Never even got to France, meaning they didn't set foot in Britannia

Shymm3x:
Loool.

Now you're chatting shyte.

If the Union Jack's for local exploits, how come the flags of the following countries had the Union Jack on them?

All the old colonies had the Union Jack on them. It seems you don't know what you're talking about.

tevinsolt:
During the time period you're talking about, Spain and Portugal ruled the seas, it wasn't until many of Years later that Britain would surpass spain to become the strongest Nation on Earth. The Americas has more Spanish speaking nations than English speaking nations, and the fact that a Spanish ship first docked at the New world. Needless to say, they had the cross in their flags too. But what does it have to do with Jesus?

Shymm3x:
Nah, I've my doubts again now. I just checked a few websites on the internet and everyone said it's the Union Jack.

C'mon the empire wasn't about only England. So why would they use the St. George's flag when the Scots and Welsh despise the flag? It can't be true.

Shymm3x:
Yes, I know about St. George and the crusades in Europe and the the warrior saint. I just never read anything about the St. George's flag as the symbol of the British Empire. It has always been about the Union Jack to me. I need to do more reading on that - safe for the heads up. Too many books to read and like my pops told me, "keep reading and you'll always see things clearly and navigate the world better".

But the Scots were the most brutal cun.ts though. Those whiskey drinking mofos committed the worst atrocities during the voyages. Once you see the names of the vicious folks, most of them are always Scottish names.

Shymm3x:
Are you sure about that cos even during the conquest, the English weren't as brutal and vicious as the Scots. The Scots were the biggest cu.nts. So why would the Scots allow the English to dictate things with the St. George's flag when they're the biggest nationalists on Island? What about the Scottish flag? The Union Jack is all inclusive.

First Slave Ship:

The first British slave ship to reach the Americas was known as The Good Ship Jesus. King Henry VIII first purchased the 700-ton vessel, then christened Jesus of Lubeck, from Lubeck in Germany. In 1562, Queen Elizabeth agreed to let John Hawkins use the mouldering ship for his excursion.

Shymm3x:
Are you sure about that? Apart from the crusades in Europe - they didn't really use the St. George's flag for the voyage in conquering the world. They used the Union Jack, hence all the conquered countries, including the US, had the Union Jack on their flags before they became independent.

Err, I'm sure you know that the name of the first slave ship's "Jesus". How has that stopped hundreds of millions of black folks from praying to Jesus?

Shymm3x:
Lool.

These fvckers and their useless spambot. They need to debug the website.

The only flag I kind of fvck with is the St. George's flag and that's cos I've not really any atrocities against black folks involved with it, apart from them fighting Scots, Welsh, and Irish under the flag. And I could care less about the number of Irish that got lynched cos IRA never cared about black folks when they were bombing London. Yes, we can take that back and the Stonehenge.

As for the rest, I need to quote rastamann Benjamin Zephaniah's quote when he rejected the OBE for this one:

"Me? I thought, OBE me? Up yours, I thought. I get angry when I hear that word 'empire'; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalised...Benjamin Zephaniah OBE – no way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire."

Shymm3x:
But all these flags have been violated.

That's the St. George's flag right there.

You don't even want to know how I used to cringe whenever I see the Union Jack. That's one of the bloodiest flags in history and every time I drive through Buckingham Palace and I see the Nigerian flag among the flags of conquered territory under British royalty - I just laugh and shake my head.

M4gunners:
Stop hating bro yes you heard me, stop hating. As far as you are not a terrorist, you didn't kill someone, drug or rape, America can't harm you. Under one and half , day you were able to see hw America handle their inmates. I bow for you oh.

M4gunners:
How did this trash answer my question? I ask again have you been to American jail before? Yes or No?

M4gunners:
What do you know about America prison?Have you been there before? Do you think Americans jail a fredom fighter? Just respect yourself.

Can you now see the difference? If the white ladies are advocating for gender equality, I think they somewhat deserve it. But as for African ladies (Nigerian ladies to be precise), I don't think they can pay for the price for what they are advocating

tosyne2much:
Shey you see what we are talking about ? The same ladies who are dependent on men for financial stability will be clamouring and advocating for gender equality.

Howeber, it's very easy for a marry a woman without considering the weight of her pocket but it is a taboo for a woman to marry a man without primarily considering his financial standing


Feminism is bullshit to me until I see acclaimed feminists advocating that women should be sent to war front
