@MoodyBlueliner@ScottyGrays@NickyFrank30 False - eligibility is derived via citizenship, heritage or established residency - you have to demonstrate a "clear connection" - birth location isn't by default enough
Balogun's connection to 🇺🇸 is solely derived via birthright citizenship nothing else

@NickyFrank30 No his mother didn't actively take advantage of it... She was denied boarding a return flight to London because she was deemed too pregnant by the airline so he was born in Brooklyn & left when he was 2 months old
USA pursue him when they realise he's eligible
@FunkButcher I was at this game in Lisbon... Ticket price €40 if I remember correctly... Stadium must have been 70-80% England fans... How Zidane in last 5min of the game made the entire stadium go silent was truly something
@Dinar_Leo_ A big reason is because historically French🇫🇷 Radio LEGALLY HAD to play at least 40% of music in french... So when Hip/Hop/Rap & 80s/90s/00s R&B became huge they had to favour 🇫🇷 on radio - 90s-2020s French black artists benefitted from such protectionism
@blaseruk@blixberrie It literally depends on the school, exam board and elective options available.... In the 90s most schools AND boards wouldn't be offering that but they may have for A Level..
@CLoingsigh@NewcoJoe72@Pera19711 I'm on record saying NI will be part of Ireland within the next generation & I'm all for it
I was pushing back against a racist bigot chatting as if bombings hadn't happened on British mainland in prev era
I know about the atrocities committed by Loyalist thugs in both NI & 🇮🇪
@StopCityAirport You're Literally AN Idiot... Soho was that place BEFORE you & likely your parents were born- BBC literally had 50s documentaries about Soho

@isthatscully He's OG Colombian....
But other Black Mexicans played for 🇲🇽 eg Brazilian Mexican Gio does Santos formerly of Spurs

@NewcoJoe72@Pera19711 IRA was literally bombing both in NI & mainland Britain all the way up to mid 90s...
I personally was close to both Bishopsgate & Aldwych bombings in 90s
Then there were racist & homophobic 99 nail bombings to try start a race war by David Copeland

@blixberrie@_saintmatt The focus on certain historical events as part of history teaching up 16/GCSE focusing on 19c & 20c European mainland history over rise of empire/colonialism, next to no discussion of wars Britain lost eg War of US Independence & limited post WW2 history is a feature not a bug
@reesetheone1 I think her biggest problem regardless of where she sits on political spectrum is that she comes from the NE & particularly NYC... She has no roots outside of that region which hurts her in both primary AND general
- AND she's hasn't run statewide...
@blixberrie ☝🏿This.. I'm old enough to remember Actual 80s & 90s Troubles AND BBC & ITN newscasts & documentaries on TV explaining Troubles History going back to Irish Question - but it wasn't taught in schools in general AND now it's absent from TV documentaries

@BoyMeetsBurr@ThrillaRilla369 aol came out in 93 but was only available to paying subscribers until 2005
Free Hotmail was 96 & free yahoo 97
NetZero 98
Microsoft bought Hotmail & rebranded it as MSN Hotmail
Point of Hotmail & Yahoo is they were 1st broadly FREE available email offering SEPARATE from ISPs
@orriclebean@monstroustomato@trouble_man90 I'm fully aware of class And yet LBJs comment re WWC still rings true now
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you".
@orriclebean@monstroustomato@trouble_man90 It literally is & the white left lit has NO plan whatsoever how to plant their flag in the largest & fastest growing region in US cos they are wilfully ignorant re US caste politics over last 400yrs
