What we all have to ask though is when we do get to read the blog is it tea and toast or tea and a scone or something else?

Certainly not tea.

Lolā€¦ Iā€™ll take a coffee in the morning to get going.

But teaā€¦ itā€™s just soā€¦ englishā€¦ and itā€™s just not my cup of tea. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Iā€™ve got no problem with anyone drinking teaā€¦ itā€™s all up the them.

But of course, how could I forget? Youā€™re from down under, arenā€™t ya?

And indeed, I donā€™t say as weā€™re perfect, just that thereā€™s nothing wrong with being patriotic :blush:

love to see people proud of their culture and countryā€¦ itā€™s what makes for great banter.
History is full of stories and problems.

And yesā€¦ I love that people can chat, play and post from all over the worldā€¦ at all different times

Absolutely. Sometimes itā€™s sensitive, sometimes people are aware of those sensitivities and can come to a place of understanding on them. I have many penpal friends who are Indian. The Koh-i-Noor has been discussed plenty of times, but itā€™s never been a bone of contention between us :blush:

I appreciate when people can stop and acknowledge that their own cultureā€™s past isnā€™t perfect.

But it also allows us to learn, grow and change. As someone with UK ancestry, I wouldnā€™t have been born here with the tales of History.

Still not a fan of tea though.

It takes humility, and itā€™s something that Iā€™m proud of - being able to empathise but refusing to appease. Thereā€™s nothing wrong with patriotism, but there is a lot wrong with nationalism!

Itā€™s interesting how history shapes us, both past and future. One of the social workers who changed my life for the better was a black man, and as such, Iā€™ve long attributed it to him for my ability to empathise with black people. I donā€™t understand their struggles fully because I am not one of them, but I can listen, try to understand and try to do better than what my ancestors did. Thatā€™s not only applicable to black people but all people - we have the ability, now, to shape our future, regardless of the past :blush:

ETA: for anyone interested, one of the bloggers that I support is The Colors Of Kink, a proudly black man exploring and spanning the history of racism within the kink community. You can check out his blog at: www.thecolorsofkink.blogspot.com (although he hasnā€™t posted in 5 weeks :face_with_diagonal_mouth:)
