naptu2:What kind of name is that? Ngozi Fulani? Background checks have to be done to make sure she isn't a dodgy woman. |

iamjavadem: From a Nigerian perspective, it may appear to be an innocent question, but it is not. The fact that she said "we got there in the end", shows she has no respect for the person she is talking too, she feel privilege and thought she could intimidate. Ngozi was not having any of it. I have seen such behaviour before. Years ago when I use to work in the shop, a lady came in to the shop , the girl attending to her was British of Caribbean origin. She wanted an extra carrier bag but instead of her to ask politely, she said something like give me another bag, talking like if she was talking to one of her servants. The shop attendance said Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The lady said oh I have never been humiliated like this before in my life. Ngozi Fulani is most likely British of Caribbean origin or American. Sometimes you have to bring them down a peg or two and remind them that the slave trade is over! 1 Like |

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-63810468 The late Queen's lady-in-waiting Lady Susan Hussey has apologised and resigned after she repeatedly asked a black British charity boss where she was "really" from. Ngozi Fulani, a charity founder, was questioned about her background at the charity event at the palace on Tuesday. Ms Fulani, said she was "totally stunned" by Prince William's godmother's comments. The palace described the remarks as "unacceptable and deeply regrettable". A spokesperson for Prince William said "racism has no place in our society". "The comments were unacceptable, and it is right that the individual has stepped aside with immediate effect," they said. Lady Hussey, 83, was a close confidante of the late Queen and accompanied her at the funeral of the Duke of Edinburgh last year. 'In shock' Ms Fulani, in an interview with the Independent website, said the issue was "bigger than one individual. It's institutional racism". "I was in shock after it happened and anybody who knows me knows I don't take this kind of nonsense," she said. "But I had to consider so many things. As a black person, I found myself in this place where I wanted to say something but what happened would automatically be seen as my fault, it would bring [my charity] Sistah Space down. "It would be 'oh, she has a chip on their shoulder'." Ms Fulani said she did not want to see Lady Hussey "vilified". An eyewitness to the conversation, Mandu Reid, told BBC News that Lady Hussey's questions had been "offensive, racist and unwelcoming". The leader of the Women's Equality Party said she had felt a "sense of incredulity" about the exchange in which Ms Fulani was interrogated about where she was from, even though she had already explained she was born and lived in the UK. 1 Like |

naptu2:How's it going naptu2? Oh, I get it... based on the 3 Diasporan names you stated. It seems she is of Afro-Caribbean descent and just adopted African names. Till today, Trinidadians and Guyanese still bear mainly West African names. A Guyanese-American woman I know bears the Yoruba name Abiola, which was given to her at birth. 1 Like 3 Shares |

Okonandmary: What happens if the British union breaks up, where would a person born in England claim since there is no Britain anymore? Okonandmary: You assumed her parents are immigrants. If she says she is British who are you to say she is not? Okonandmary: Who they support is a matter of choice, just as you can choose not to be English/British, it's your choice. Okonandmary: Not necessary. If the late queen of England who is white had "deep, ancestral connection and ties with" Germany claims to be English wouldn't she be right? Okonandmary: If the laws of the U.K. say that if you are born in England makes you English who are you to equate that with the laws in Nigeria? 2 Likes |

sisisioge: I definitely can't speak for the person. Provided you didn't persistent after they've given thier first answer or indicated they don't want to answer, I don't see any reason they should be upset. Perhaps they were still too excited about thier citizenship to the point where a simple question becomes a threat to thier passport |

OLAADEGBU: I am not sure that this is true. It is only in the UK that people refer to themselves as British and get offended when people ask where they originally come from. In America, the Irish, Italians, etc., will tell you about their ancestral roots even before you ask them. The reasons for the sensitivities are unclear to me since the English are the most mongrel race in the world - even the royal family is English, German, Austrian and Greek! My response would have been to tell of my ancestry and be proud of it. I doubt an Indian would have responded this way. Indians have very low acculturation - they take the opportunities but keep their traditions. In my opinion, there is a lot of emotional fragility creeping into the UK. Most of the emergency cases are self-harm cases which is very, very different from just 10 years ago. Something is going on there for sure. My tuppence worth. And no, I am not an immigrant I returned to Nigeria after working in the city as a lawyer for a few years, and now its just holidays 2 Likes 1 Share |

Okonandmary: Which part is not true? In your original post, you said: "A black person doesn't have any traditional or historical connection with Britain" I have pointed out that indeed black people have long history of connection with Britain as far back as 2000 years ago when an African (Quietus Lollius Urbicus )governed Britain during the Roman Empire and more recently, the interactions of the British Empire with Africa in the last 3 centuries. |
