Was Anne Boylen Black?

Rewriting history for the sake of diversity, perhaps Davis Jason could play Nelson Mandela.

Zacs. Not ignoring you, honest - middle of cooking etc., so I will answer your honest question...

Was Anne Boleyn black? Don't be daft, of course she wasn't. But Nelson, The Duke of Wellington, Richard The Lionheart, Bernard Montgomery, Bobby Moore, Samuel Pepys, Sir Francis Drake, Sir Walter Raleigh, and many more who hid the fact with make up and pretence. Except The last King Of Scotland. He was very happy to announce his colour as black. The one before him had been blue.

// I see my story went down well...LOL//

well Barts had the rugger baggaz - a surprisingly number have appeared at the GMC - and no one was artistic
the other were in the drama soc - known as the drama buggaz.
second at Students Drama Soc one year

and none of the gorillaz were shy sensitive and artistic

just rambling - thank god no one reads this stuff

[Peter Pedant]

// The Duke of Wellington,//
well he wasnt black - -but he is the one born in Dublin oppo the Tea-shack's house that caused so much trouble the last time I raised it. and said - because a man is born in a stable - doesnt make him a horse

Do you think the Iron Duke should be portrayed as the Irish Duke?

[Peter Pedant]

oo and what about Shylock
should only those of the faith play him?

So, andy hughes, I can take it that you will not be putting up some samples of me saying I don't like you...something I say it every day (apparently) ?

No, of course, you won't because you made it up!

[Zacs-Master]

Well, that was worth waiting for.

[Zacs-Master]

Andy, something is potentially racist if it has the potential to cause offence, which can only be decided by the individual.

[Zacs-Master]

Thanks for your ‘explanation’ APG.

[AuntPollyGrey]

You are 'Welcome' Zacs

[Zacs-Master]

‘Thanks’

[royfromaus]

I have reported this thread.
Hopefully, the Ed will look at it without any favouritism.

[woofgang]

roy, why have you reported it?

[royfromaus]

Because of the needless 'answer-removed' purge

[andy-hughes]

roy - That has been carried out by a Moderator, I would suggest because the animosity between you and i was seen as a diversion to the thread, as a result, I would fully expedct the Ed to back the Moderator concerned.

And just to spell it out to the usual suspects - the removals were not carreid out by me.

[woofgang]

oooookayyyyy

[woofgang]

^^ that to Roy not Andy

Looking for historical accuracy, while spelling her name Anne Boylen ...

[webbo3]

Its called a typo.

Amazing the tiny things that people will take great offence at, isn't it?
