Stupid fake race drama 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
It seems to me the lady in question asked perfectly normal questions (just like "I wonder what colour skin the baby will have"). Really people are far too sensitive to the level of gross stupidity. There is no serious "race" problem here but a serious stupidity one.

I've probably asked a taxi driver a day where their family originally came from; not one has ever taken offence.

Re:Stupid fake race drama 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
I am genuinely baffled by the whole thing.

I thought it was now not only acceptable but required to celebrate the cultural heritage of all black people, make their skin colour the most important thing about them and acknowledge their history. I know the family lineage of all my black friends, they routinely celebrate it, define themselves by this and are happy to talk about it.

So all I can conclude is that the hateful lady at the event either did not get the memo or has a rod up her arse about something. Either way, a colossal none story.

No. What we are seeing are blackmail threats carried out.


It is possible of course that Lady Susan Hussey asked something along those lines, in the context of the accuser's role in "Specialist support for African & Caribbean heritage women affected by abuse", and she might have been wondering, as I did, what the relevant link between all those very different cultures is (regarding violence) and how it justifies excluding others?

However, they have over-egged it by including the accusation of her moving her dreadlocks to look at the badge. For a close aide of the Royals, particularly The late Queen, (WHO THE SUSSEX'S HAVE CONFIRMED WAS NOT RACIST) to not know that you must never do this, is simply, unbelievable.

Would the Queen not have noticed in the 62 years that this lady served her, that there was a raving racist in their midst? This is the woman who fired her own son because of an unproven allegation, remember. She would not have put up with it.

And what a coincidence that JUST as the whole world is demanding proof of the supposed "institutional racism in the royal family" that the serial liars are going to be awarded for "fighting" , some "proof" miraculously appears, and by another remarkable coincidence, the incident happened to a woman who has been extremely vocal in her anti monarchist stance, and her support for the Sussex's (disproven) allegations.

Re:Stupid fake race drama 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Your blithe intercourse with taxi drivers now has a name JK and I regret to inform you it is pejorative: "micro aggression".

I learned this on an "unconscious bias" course I attended through work (it was poor form not to attend, though remaining conscious throughout was - unconsciously - a steep challenge).

We were asked at the end how we would measure the effectiveness, for us, of the "skills" we had learned in the course?

I asked the tutor how this would be possible given my biases are unconscious and the only mind I can interrogate is, surely, the bits of mine that are conscious?

He did not respond; whether consciously or not, only he can know.

Re:Stupid fake race drama 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
When I moved to New York as a teen in in the 1980s. I was asked all the time where in New York or Ireland I was from due to my Irish accent.

New York and Irish accents can be very similar.

I did develop a 'New Yawk' accent in NYC where I lived and worked, quite quickly and picked up slang along the way.

When I moved to Canada, people would ask me what part of America I was from or what district in New York I came from or lived in.

Also when I was in Canada briefly I developed a slight Canadian accent on top of the American accent. It was then a very strange accent which people thought I was from Alaska.

Getting the question where are you from? Can be quite flattering, because to me it showed the person was interested in me and wanted to start a conversation.

However people can be very offended by it all.

Saying where are you from? Could be asking the person what district, borough or town the person lives in a specific county.

Instead of saying where are you from? I say to the person you have an interesting or pleasant accent. Then they tell me or want to guess.

When I speak to my daughters or friends from USA, I can get the American accent back to some extent.

Very interesting! I had been wondering why she seems to have taken such umbrage at being mistaken for an African. Is there any shame in that? Ngozi Fulani is an African-sounding name, she was wearing a name badge and judging from the photos seemed to be wearing an African-inspired outfit. Perhaps the question about her origin therefore wasn’t so strange, but Lady Susan Hussey shouldn’t have “interrogated” her, if indeed that’s what happened. In the interview below, Ngozi Fulani points out that what she posted on Twitter was just a fraction of the “interrogation” and that it went on for longer, though she can’t seem to remember how long. Also referring to her hair being pushed aside, she says she feels “violated”. It all seems rather overblown.

In other news, a guy called Bruce Kookaburrah from Birmingham, England with a face like a tomato after spending too much time in the sun on the Costa del Sol attended another royal event wearing his name on a badge and dressed like Crocodile Dundee. He was picking the remains of a cucumber sandwich from his teeth with a bowie knife when an old party sidled up to him and said “I say, old chap, you do look rather Australian, what what. Are you from the Antipodes?” Bruce collapsed in a heap and had to be stretched away. Later, he found enough strength to tweet his feelings of violation to The Guardian but is still under the weather. The old party is now confined to country pursuits.

Re:Stupid fake race drama 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Noticed this highly rated post on Facebook under a Guardian article about this saga:

Wait a minute; I'm British, born and raised in Nigeria. I'm Igbo, from Delta State, but grew up, educated and worked in Lagos.

The question of where one comes from is a human question. Asked by inquisitive people who are looking to learn something about other people.

It's a great opening question for interesting conversations. And I've been asked variants of the question hundreds of time, over 90% by other Nigerians/Africans.

I'm very disappointed by this unnecessary circus, and the action taken by the Palace. In all I've heard so far, there is NOTHING deserving losing a job over.

Because of over sensitive people, everyone is scared to say anything to anyone, and society is losing.

Why are we bent to destroy human curiosity, and what is the end game?

Humanity cannot progress if we are scared to ask basic (to me, that's what this was) or STUPID questions.

A couple of articles from The Spectator:

In defence of Lady Susan Hussey

The Palace has treated Lady Hussey cruelly

And from The New Statesman:

The innocent insidiousness of “Where are you from?”

I wouldn't be surprised if her charity gets a boost in donations from this publicity. It was mentioned in a news report that the charity advises the police on how to deal with black female victims of sexual assault. It will be interesting to see if she gets a gong at some point.

Wouldn't it be the same way they treat any form of domestic abuse unless you're a man. Then getting help is impossible unless you know someone who is willing to let you sleep on a couch. Men don't talk about their feelings compared to women and you can't stand up to women without being labelled a wife beater or the toxic masculinity.

A guy I knew his crazy girlfriend spread rumours about him that he hit her etc. When in fact she hit him, it was caught on camera.

I used to let him sleep in the room above the pub. One morning his friends waited for him to come out the pub. I let them in, friends told him to call the police. The police arrived he explained the situation and the police really didn't know what to do.

One copper said can you stand up for yourself? The guy laughed and said then I would be in prison then won't I. Which made us laugh because it's true. UK laws on self-defence are a fucking joke.

The copper was dumbfounded. Another friend said to another police officer why is there is more support for women and not for men? You could hear a pin drop in the room.

Men are more likely to commit suicide than women.

All she said to say was 'My parents are from Barbados, but I was in born England.'

I used to say I was born in Ireland, but I now live in a 'Grody' part of Manhattan for the time present which raised some smiles. When people took offense, some people are proud of NYC regardless of its issues. I said if I leave NY and USA then I am leaving the best place and country.

Which made them smile, I made so many awesome friends there and we had some wild times.

It was joked that Madison Square Garden was second home because I didn't live far from it and saw some fantastic concerts almost every week or sometimes every few days for a year or so.


I can't believe Ngozi Fulani has gone down this race route. Some people get off by causing trouble.

Re:Stupid fake race drama 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
Er, 'HUSSEY' real origin Fench-Norman a nickname for someone who habitually wore a distinctive pair of boots or gaiters from Old French hosed hoset housé Middle English
www.ancestry.com › name-origin › surname=hu...

Er, 'WINDSOR' real origin, sovereigns normally take the name of their 'House' from their father. For this reason, Queen Victoria's eldest son Edward VII belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (the family name of his father Prince Albert). Edward VII's son George V became the second king of that dynasty when he succeeded to the throne in 1910.

In 1917, during World War 1 against Germany, there was a radical change, when George V specifically adopted 'Windsor', not only as the name of the 'House' or dynasty, but also as the surname of his family. The family name was changed as a result of anti-German feeling during the First World War, and the name Windsor was adopted after the Castle of the same name.

At a meeting of the Privy Council on 17 July 1917, George V declared that 'all descendants in the male line of Queen Victoria, who are subjects of these realms, other than female descendants who marry or who have married, shall bear the name of Windsor'. The Royal Family name of Windsor was confirmed by The Queen after her accession in 1952. However, in 1960, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh decided that they would like their own direct descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the Royal Family (without changing the name of the Royal House), as Windsor is the surname used by all the male and unmarried female descendants of George V. It was therefore declared in the Privy Council that The Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince/Princess, or female descendants who marry, would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor.

This reflected Prince Philip's surname. In 1947, when Prince Philip of Greece became naturalised, he assumed the name of Philip Mountbatten as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy. The effect of the declaration was that all The Queen's children, on occasions when they needed a surname, would have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

For the most part, members of the Royal Family who are entitled to the style and dignity of HRH Prince or Princess do not need a surname, but if at any time any of them do need a surname (such as upon marriage), that surname is Mountbatten-Windsor.

The surname Mountbatten-Windsor first appeared on an official document on 14 November 1973, in the marriage register at Westminster Abbey for the marriage of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

A proclamation on the Royal Family name by the reigning monarch is not statutory; unlike an Act of Parliament, it does not pass into the law of the land. Such a proclamation is not binding on succeeding reigning sovereigns, nor does it set a precedent which must be followed by reigning sovereigns who come after.

Unless King Charles chooses to alter the present decisions, he will continue to be of the House of Windsor and his grandchildren will use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

Everyone, please look at the hilarious comments under the Netflix trailer.



I am pretty sure they will be removed, so here is a sample just in case.

The part where Meghan is saving the world from good causes like the Earthshot by turning attention to herself. So thoughtful and selfless.

The part where she is on the Africa tour and there are women from the poor townships, where there is a lot of poverty and violence. Meghan says we are sisters because I am also a woman of colour and tells them about how oppressed she is by the evil Royal Family. The story about how the Queen won’t let her choose a particular tiara, but offers her a different tiara is so moving. The women cry because they recognize who is the real victim here.

Re:Stupid fake race drama 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
First of all, no matter if the co-ordinated attack was encouraged by people as high up as Hilary Clinton and the BLM leaders, (it was) you cant MAKE someone say the completely unacceptable phrase "Where are you REALLY from?", and you most definitely cant force them to grab your dreadlocks.

Of course, we assumed that the phrasing was related word for word, because of it supposedly being recorded, except days later, nobody has heard it, and the only video footage so far is of Ngosi Fulani (previously Marlene Headley) chatting excitedly to The Queen. (not being uncomfortable in the corner after all )

It is easy to assume that The King and The Prince of Wales are a pair of pigs for not standing by their almost lifelong friend, and Godmother, and maybe they are.

But supposing they have had to warn this lady repeatedly, or even worse, that they suspect her of being in on the scam? Stranger things have happened.
As ever, the truth is probably something in the middle.

Er, 'WINDSOR' real origin, sovereigns normally take the name of their 'House' from their father. For this reason, Queen Victoria's eldest son Edward VII belonged to the House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha (the family name of his father Prince Albert). Edward VII's son George V became the second king of that dynasty when he succeeded to the throne in 1910.

In 1917, during World War 1 against Germany, there was a radical change, when George V specifically adopted 'Windsor', not only as the name of the 'House' or dynasty, but also as the surname of his family. The family name was changed as a result of anti-German feeling during the First World War, and the name Windsor was adopted after the Castle of the same name.

At a meeting of the Privy Council on 17 July 1917, George V declared that 'all descendants in the male line of Queen Victoria, who are subjects of these realms, other than female descendants who marry or who have married, shall bear the name of Windsor'. The Royal Family name of Windsor was confirmed by The Queen after her accession in 1952. However, in 1960, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh decided that they would like their own direct descendants to be distinguished from the rest of the Royal Family (without changing the name of the Royal House), as Windsor is the surname used by all the male and unmarried female descendants of George V. It was therefore declared in the Privy Council that The Queen's descendants, other than those with the style of Royal Highness and the title of Prince/Princess, or female descendants who marry, would carry the name of Mountbatten-Windsor.

This reflected Prince Philip's surname. In 1947, when Prince Philip of Greece became naturalised, he assumed the name of Philip Mountbatten as a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy. The effect of the declaration was that all The Queen's children, on occasions when they needed a surname, would have the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

For the most part, members of the Royal Family who are entitled to the style and dignity of HRH Prince or Princess do not need a surname, but if at any time any of them do need a surname (such as upon marriage), that surname is Mountbatten-Windsor.

The surname Mountbatten-Windsor first appeared on an official document on 14 November 1973, in the marriage register at Westminster Abbey for the marriage of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips.

A proclamation on the Royal Family name by the reigning monarch is not statutory; unlike an Act of Parliament, it does not pass into the law of the land. Such a proclamation is not binding on succeeding reigning sovereigns, nor does it set a precedent which must be followed by reigning sovereigns who come after.

Unless King Charles chooses to alter the present decisions, he will continue to be of the House of Windsor and his grandchildren will use the surname Mountbatten-Windsor.

Lady Susan Hussey has been denied Natural Justice all for a tad clumsy 'have you come far" line of questioning.

I think our charity lady has jumped on the media bandwagon and has no idea of the pitfalls.

No you can't Honey but you can encourage an elderly lady with Edwardian phrasing and perhaps no malice into a situation where the trap can be sprung. I agree with you that her family are not admirable for throwing her under a bus. And their cowardly behaviour is a big mistake: they are playing with fire...
