There were no black people to speak of in Britain in the 1910s! Maybe one of Hailie Selassie's nephews was a student at some boarding school or something. But they weren't importing Jamaicans and Ghanaians yet. WTF are they smoking?

There were a few but they pretty much weren't in this war in any real number to the point most battles probably had no niggers at all

Out of curiosity, can you tell more? Like do they believe their own bull shit? Do they truly hate white people? What kind of people are they, typical college brainwashed libtards?

ETA: Britain had almost no migration from nog countries until after WWII. There were probably some very wealthy ones, like king- or diplomat- level ones, who had homes in London before then, but it wouldn't have been many. From wikipedia:
I don't know WTF is going on in Britain these days, I don't have that much insight into it. But there were almost no Blacks in the country in the WWI era. Also, lately I hear entertainers saying the goofiest shit, things like "I feel betrayed by my own whiteness, my own skin" etc. (that one was Cameron Esposito, from a recentish episode of Marc Maron's podcast) It's just delusional.
People have gone totally around the bend. There's also the obvious double standard of re-casting everything from productions of A Streetcar Named Desire to BBC series about medieval France with Blacks, but white people can't play anything that wasn't historically written as white. They're also trying to Blacken American heroes/founding fathers like Hamilton. (Please take a look at his nose and complexion and tell me again how Black his mammy was.) This is like whole swathes of the population beating themselves up for no reason, over stupid shit in the entertainment industry that doesn't matter.
You can cast all the Blacks you want as computer scientists, almost none of them will be smart enough/inspired enough by that to study it. You can cast Black women as Joan of Arc, it won't make them remain virgins, inspire a devotion to God or as sense of duty to their countrymen.
It's baffling, stupid and insulting to everyone's intelligence to go along with this foolishness.
