Since maybe 2018 there has been this really, really weird attempt at retconning England's history and trying to act as if blacks have always been present in the country. This is notable because it's not just weird, near-fetishistic history revisionism, but it's revisionism that nobody believes, nobody has asked for, and achieves precisely nothing. And only that, it also continues to be pushed with ever more ferver and zeal every fucking year.
As far as I can tell, this started with the Cheddar Man retardation and has merged with the US-driven blackening of every historical/period film or TV show in production. This has eventually created an entirely astroturfed "common knowledge" aming blacks that sub-Saharan negroids were in England forever and that they "built this country".
This sentiment got even more prevalent after Saint Floyd happened and when BLM activists in the UK realised that they don't have an Original Sin quite as potent as the US does in the Atlantic slave trade, so this niggerbrained desire of blacks in England to have a robust victimhood narrative has manifested in them all holding this baseline assumption that we wuz inglish n shiet.
The thing is that nobody buys it. When you spin tales of the noble savage and ascribe some cultural greatness to American Indians, or revere a mystical connection to land like they do with Australian aborigines, you can at least fool people into thinking there's something to it. You can weave an emotive and entertaining narrative into something which maybe sorta kinda could be true, but if you try to convice big fat Norf FC white guy that africans actually built them castles m8, it just doesnt get any fucking traction because even the dullest of dullards know that it's made-up nonsense.
This propaganda is stupid, illogical and is failing to achieve anything. It's such a fucking weird hill to die on too, because there is nobody out there on the venn diagram that fits in both the "cares about history" circle and the "is stupid enough to believe we wuz knights n kangz n shiet" circle.
