Question

Answer 1

seriously...? wow.

Answer 2

Yes, the two categories of British and black aren't mutually exclusive as the following link indicates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bla...

Some prominent examples of British blacks include Spice Girl, Melanie Brown, R & B artist, Beverly Knight, and model, Naomi Campbell. Naomi Campbell (b. 1970), for example, is a native of Streatham, London, England.  Her mother, Valerie Morris Campbell, is a former ballet dancer of Jamaican descent.  Of course, Ms Campbell wants to be treated like royalty.

Answer 3

Answer 4

No

They aren't black British - there is no such thing.

They are black foreigners who are just aping the native accent(s).

Answer 5

troll

Answer 6

Sure.  People move all over the place.  Black people have emigrated from Africa to Britain since the 11th century.

And, ummmm. not exactly about royalty.

Answer 7

Of course. You be white, black, Asian, Jewish, Muslin, Christian, a non-believer ...

Answer 8

Yes it is very possible

Answer 9

Yes,it is quite possible! Black people are born in the United Kingdom and all over the world. Dame Cleo Laine and Shirley Bassey are black and British! Your nationality(the country that you were born in)has nothing to do with your race;humans have been traveling all over the world for thousands and thousands and thousands of years.

Answer 10

uuuuuummmmmm yea!!!! duh!!

Answer 11

American and clever is that possible ?

Answer 12

I am quit sure that a person can be British and black the came as a person can be American and black.

Answer 13

Of course you can. London is one of the most cosmopolitan cities in their world and you'll see people of all races and all religions. if someone is Black and is born in Britain, they're British. Is a black person born in New York not an American, Is Obama not American because he's black?

Answer 14

No way!!!! You don't want to tell me there are black British people here?!?!?!

Geez, who would think of such a strange phenomena, you are going to tell me there are Asian, Muslin or Indian Brits in this country next!

OK, sorry for sarcasm, but it's kind of incredible someone could really ask such a question. Britain has always been proud of its multi-cultural, multi-race and multi-religion mix, which works pretty great most of the times.

Answer 15

You could be british and green, colour does not affect nationality.

Answer 16

Lenny Henry - 1975 - "New Faces" TV talent show. "Enoch Powell said he'll give us £1000 to go home. That's fine with me. It's only a fiver on the train to Dudley".

I still remember this as the first gag I saw him do, and ILMAO. On TISWAS, Lenny Henry and Chris Tarrant were like anarchic older cousins.

In Spooks or the James Bond Films, the Head of Service is still the "Peter Firth" "Judi Dench" or "Hugh Laurie"-type. Their completely reliable unflinchingly loyal harder-than-hard trusted Lieutenant is now usually black. The one who is professional and smart enough to see the need to make the ultimate sacrifice before anyone else, and does it  (often surviving through sheer Force of Virtue) is black. Not the hero, but only because it isn't his turn yet.

Think "Mikey" in Dr Who.

These characters may be cyphers, and their treatment may be formulaic, but it is an infinitely more respectful than even 20 years ago.

It may be some time before you see other minority communities represented as being this central to Britishness.

Answer 17

I presume your not of the uk then .......................

of course here is a multicultural society and has been for many years well from before christ anyhow .................

however people also have picked up many local accents too

hardip sincoly has a scottish twang to him (asian )

craig charles has a scouse twang (black)

until reading your post I just assumed  that a resident of the USA knew we had been populated by folk from all over the world some coming recently with the boarder changes in europe  and some migrated during the empire days and before that

the french in 1066 the last time we were overrun and invaded by a ruling power

the Vikings

the saxons

the celts

the romans

Answer 18

Of course.  Just as you can be American and black.  There have been black people in Britain for hundreds of years, though the largest immigration came in the 20th century when a lot of people came here to settle from the West Indies.  There are also a great many British people of Asian origin.

Answer 19

The answer is yes.

This has nothing to do with the Royalty category that you have posted it in.

I agree with rexcaliburn

Troll.

Answer 20

slaves were not taken only to america

Answer 21

Of course, many people are cross-bred.

What does this have to do with royalty?

You need to ask about a royal person or something or else go somewhere else!
