“If white privilege means that white people gain advantages due to the success of their ancestors, then white-country privilege means that non-whites gain advantages due to the success of other people’s ancestors. White privilege is a legacy, white-country privilege is theft.”

“Barbary pirates, based in North Africa, captured one and a quarter million white Europeans and sold them as slaves into the Ottoman Empire between the 16th and 19th centuries. This was one of the reasons why the British developed the Royal Navy - to stop slave raiders terrorising our coastal towns. 'Britons will never never be slaves' - is a line from the patriotic song Rule Britannia and is a reference to the fear of the Barbary pirates in coastal towns. Slaves could be purchased in Constantinople, including white slaves, right up to the fall of the empire at the end of WWI in 1918. ”

“Many children of migrants living in England think that the country is racist, not worth defending, and is not even their real home. But do they leave? No. Do they wish to be deported? No. Do they take every benefit and opportunity this country has to offer? Yes. Are they grateful? No. Do they understand why their parents came to this country in the first place? No – and this is the crux of the problem. They compare England to an imaginary version of their ancestral homeland, and unsurprisingly, England does not match up to this non-existent utopia.”

“As minorities in the UK increase in size and become more confident due to numbers, they will be less inclined to want to change their culture and behaviour to fit in with the indigenous population. The indigenous population will witness the increase and will want to either curtail the numbers or push for cultural assimilation. This will be perceived to be an attack upon the minorities who will seek comfort and protection within their group and culture. This is where we are now. Self-defined groups push for their own agenda in a society that is splitting along racial lines and heading towards violence.”

“We tolerate those who do not speak English so they do not bother to learn the language. We tolerate religious animal slaughter so they continue to inflict unnecessary animal suffering. We tolerate gender separation so they continue to treat women as second-class citizens. We are now in a position where we tolerate those who wish to kill us and destroy our country. I am not being hyperbolic or exaggerating. During the Islamic State takeover of Syria a decade ago, we had more British Muslims fighting for this terrorist organisation that wanted to destroy the West than we had serving in the British Army.”

“What most people mean when they use the term white privilege is Majority Privilege – the benefits that are on offer because you fit in with the majority and are not seen as an outsider. This privilege is seen in every country around the world. It can be seen when vegans cater a buffet and never consider meat-eaters. Or when Alcoholics Anonymous celebrate a milestone and does not host it in a pub. I would never expect gay men to organise a sex party and invite lesbians. Belonging to a group brings privilege. Belonging to the majority group has Majority Privilege. The answer to the question of why the white race succeeds at a higher rate than non-white races is easy to answer: culture. White-culture Privilege exists. The best thing about it is that it is open to all races of all skin colours. Whites are the biggest supporters of cultural appropriation for we give our culture away to benefit others. For non-white people to be successful all they need to do is accept and embrace cultures that deliver the best outcomes.”

“Acculturative Stress refers to the stress immigrants suffer trying to learn a new language, fitting into a new society, and balancing differing cultural values with the new norms. It can lead to anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and even low birth weight.”

“The British government compensated slave owners in the British Empire for the loss of private property they had legally owned in the eyes of the law. This may sound disgusting today but the law had to be followed and compensation had to be paid. Twenty million pounds was the cost to the country in the form of a loan. We only finished repaying this loan in 2015. Many British people alive today helped to pay off this loan with their taxes so black Africans could be free - even though they were sold into slavery by their black African neighbours.”

“England became a great nation by balancing the contradictory desires for individualism and collectivism.”

“The Spiral of Silence Theory relates to an individual's perception of current public opinion which influences their willingness to express their opinion. It claims individuals will be more outward with their opinion when they notice that it is shared throughout a group. But if the individual notices that their opinion is unpopular, they will be more inclined to be reserved and remain silent. The conclusion is that the perception of how others perceive them is more important than the need for their opinion to be heard.”
