How times have changed.

Sitting in the living room this morning and the door bell rang.
Opened the door and there was this black African bloke with his two kids in tow.

I thought he had come to the wrong house as my next door neighbour is a black African.

It turned out he was a Christian evangelical and he said he wanted to save my soul.
I took one of his leaflets and politely said I was busy and closed the door.

I looked at his leaflet and thought to myself, it wasn't so long ago that my white ancestors went to Africa as missionaries to save the souls of the Black natives.

Nowadays the roles have been reversed, Black Africans are now doing missionary work in the UK, has any other nation fallen so far, so fast.

Karma.

When the shoe's on the other foot, the white man doesn't like it.

I reluctantly have to agree with that sentiment.
Although I don't have to like it.

No, you don't.

In my area, the sight of black (as in black, not brown) people wasn't an overly common thing. Over recent years, it's become much more common. I'm not stating that as a positive or negative thing, simply as a fact.

Don't they say by year x the USA will be white minority? I assume there might be a similar projection for the UK.

Never seen any, all the evangelicals knocking on my door tend to be young white Americans.

The black man is still beholden to the industrious whites to feed them - whether they're here or in their own country.
Everything the black man has - whether it's freedom, anti malaria drugs, charity or BMWs - the white man has allowed them to have it.

Wow. You should open your eyes sometimes

Especially in the tech sector

Poss more the yellow man, though there's hope in India.

I think a Silicone Valley in Congo or Somalia may be quite a way off though.

Someone’s been to see the Book of Mormon…….

Two world wars put an end to the British empire but we used those countries as a source of manpower for post war reconstruction, and more recently via the EU. Something to do with there being not enough home grown labour. As for the door knockers, while the west (excluding America) becomes less "Christian", recruits are increasingly being sought from Africa etc.

"So far so fast" has been building up for over 100 years. And it looks like the successors to the British Empire, the USA are battening down the hatches and planning no longer to be the world's policeman.

God save the King, and God help him too.

Christianity is booming in Nigeria: By 2020, it accounted for an estimated 46% of the; two-thirds of which are Protestant. They put out a heck of a fuss when the Anglican Church proposed female vicars, i recall. Not seen any round here, though...only Jehovah's Witnessing for the Lord. At least their kids have a nice day out.

IME, Witnesses are like cricketers.

Only seen when the sun is out

Plenty of able bodied home grown, but seems too much like hard work to them.

I blame Maggie in part whose political strategy of destroying Britain's industrial base to kill off the unions led to widespread unemployment for years. I hope the brexxers remember that when they complain about relying on imports.

To be fair your soul does need saving with all that Putin propaganda you spout
