British culture is saying ffs every time someone sits next to you on the bus
or for every minute the bus is late just loud enough to notify the other people in the queue whom you've up till this point done your best to ignore that you too are unamused at the poor time keeping of your local bus company
loooooooooooooooool literally
@@thehypest6118 that's better than the comment that got over 100 likes that's fucked up
Roald Dahl was a white British man too. Mr Bean is white English culture too. Dry, witty humour is white English culture too. I’m a black woman btw proud Brit :)
Not anymore 😬
TBH, I think the notion that British white people lacking culture is a stereotypical assumption made by black people like myself from a young age. White British people definitely do have a culture and ranges from things like literature (Jane Austin), art, theatre (Shakespeare), architect (various forms), sport (Rugby) and food (Full English Breakfast, Sunday Roast) to name a basic few.
ReasonableDoubt Even football. Football was invented in England. The very first leagues started in England too. Tennis is also English.. Cricket obviously. I rate your comment though. That kind of ignorance that Poet displays is actually depressing.

Rave culture is primarily white British culture. Shoom etc, M25 raves, free parties (free festival culture + DiY soundsystem), Northern Soul in the North. Jamaican soundsystems started to have an influence later on, from the start of the 90s - there were no MCs at early raves.
Their culture is watered down because yes, they do those things. but they dip their hands in what everyone else is doing as well. which takes value from their culture. lots of whites arent repping like other cultures.
That Ribena bar was deep lol
Tea was adopted by British culture, its from Asian provinces.
We been knew
And pasta came from China and weed came from India , doesn't mean that cannabis can't be part of Jamaican culture or pasta can't be a cuktursl thing for Italy
UPROAR 91 along with curry and chicken korma 🤦🏾♀️
Stella comes from belgium
Jack danies comes from Tennessee
Plus you like using phones how bout wifi get over ya self its 2021
Rice come from a very specific region of china but I don’t think you could tell Indians for example that certain rice dishes aren’t part of their culture, or the Japanese, Thais, Pakistanis, Afghans, Africans and so on… ingredients dont have to be native to a land to be part of culture. That would make most aspects of everybody’s culture “not theirs”
If Poet really wants to experience British white culture or even just British culture generally then he needs to get out of his comfort zone and explore places in the U.K other than London. Theres lot's of history in Britain. Especially in the countryside. Just because something you are not familiar with something doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Not talking about racism btw. Talking about things that have shaped the country to what it was today. E.g. Shakespeare, Romans, Vikings, Castles, Stone henge, Dark Ages, King Henry, Football, Rugby, Beer, certain music such a Rock, British Farming or artwork by people like Francis Bacon, David Hockney, Damien Hirst etc
tom fitch yeah they don't really know enough to have the conversation. It's almost like two white English people from the countryside having a conversation about Caribbean or African culture
tom fitch all those things u speak of come from other cultures.
English culture is basically a mix of a variety of cultures
2ND BLOCK 66 A.W.O.L yeah Shakespeare came from other cultures 😅
Patricia what are you saying? Are you supporting or going against that they have different histories? Because i don’t think the middle class were involved in football hooliganism or the terrorism of Margaret thatcher? And that’s only modern history
HSbsjsshsh Hshshheheen fuck you mean everything were involved in is our history whether other countries are involved or not... wars, religious reformations, politics, fashion, industrialisation, colonisation, imperialism... notice how half of American cities are named after British ones!
Man will sit there talking the English language, prob watches football, munches English breakfast with a cup of tea. And will try say we ain’t got no culture 🤣
Jack McDonald- Saunders tea didn’t originate from Britain mate. The Asians did that first
Simon Van den Bergh how can tea be apart of British culture when the culture originated from Asia. That’s cultural appropriation 😐
@@tenika2151
But then again, black people claim that r&b is part of their culture, yet every single r&b song is written in keys that agree with the musical rules of classical music, which is white. So, is that appropriation of white culture? Get out if here with your nonsense. The term "cultural appropriation" is not even a valid one to begin with.
@@vandenberghsimon that doesn't make sense though. You're calling it part of british culture even though tea didn't originate from Britain. Saying Poet's using & doing 'British things' so football for example originated in Britain but is part of the culture in so many different counties including Jamaica. So by your tea argument, Poet watching football isn't a British thing, it's a Jamaican thing. Right? Cause it doesn't have to be invented there for it to be part of culture? You can't have it both ways. Either it's british cause it originates in Britain OR because it's part of the culture. If it's part of the culture you can't accuse him of doing british things cause all those British things are part of other cultures. Maybe he's doing their culture's things
@@vandenberghsimon you're the one with the energy to agree that the black man (who is british) is doing 'british things' as if he said Britain has no culture. He didn't. If tea can be part of all those cultures then so can all those things be part of the black british man's culture without white british people acting like he needs to acknowledge what he's taken from 'white culture'.
That Ribena bar is the one
The One Drop idealogy
Nah its fucked up its like sayjng one drop of melanin and your contaminated we dont want you youre now black. Imo identity is up to the individual but theyll always be have a mixed genome.
What's interesting about tea being so deeply embedded in English tradition is that there was not one tea plantation to be found in Britain up until 2-3 years ago. The first and only (emphasis on only) tea plantation in the UK was opened around 2014 or so. Tea has always been (and still is) imported from India and China, and in the more recent years from Kenya. England's culture is a carefully curated amalgamation of greatness from other cultures. Respect to what you guys do, one love.
British Empire - East India Trading Company - Take tea on mass from India - drink becomes hugely popular in UK, there you go (coming from a white, english male)
SublimeSunshine so true..a lot of English culture us based on theft..but deep down its what's made it the most diverse place on the planet.
SublimeSunshine All cultures are amalgamated. Tea is Asian of course but that doesn't mean it can't be important in English culture. Similarly, chili is originally indigenous to South America. But it is now crucial ingredient modern Asian and African food culture.
@@fabstarschroeter4489 no it isn't, you can say Japanese culture is theft
Cannabis is from India and pasta from China that doesn't mean italy and Jamaica don't have culture. Also, England has made many things from themselves such as football, rugby, fish and chips etc.
Get Akala on the podcast

Akala and Poet in the same conversation fuckin hell bro that would be hilarious. Akala is the don
That Ribena comment had my head spinning looooool. Good Podcost.
Being Black and British means that British Culture is a part of who we are - but think about this - how do your African or Jamaican counterparts view you? Very White? The parts of white culture in Britain that we find difficult to find are the parts that we have accepted wholly as are own. If we was back in our countries of origin then what we are currently like as "Black" people would be very different culturally.
That’s like that anywhere tho for example what is American black is far from what an African is like
Talk about Reggie Yates having to quit top of the pops because he revealed the truth on this podcast about jews running the industry. Losing his job for talking the truth you know.

Do you guys have the “1 drop rule” in England?
Where if you have one drop of black in your ancestry, you are not white?
@@noelsonkwa Not, really no - it's not exsactly the same as the US.
This podcast is too good, keep up the great work! 10/10
Is Chicken Cottage sponsoring this episode? 👀
There's no black culture in England you have different carribean and different Africa cultures but not 'black' the only reason there is black culture in America is because their root's were stripped away from them during slavery and because they don't know where they're from they can't identify with any specific culture so they had to form a new culture within America.
Pr1nc3.o x black Caribbean culture was also born out of slavery, how do you think we got there? Black people regardless of where we currently reside have an inherent link through our African lineage, it's difficult to define but I know that I feel it when in the presence of another black person, even when language is a barrier.
Pr1nc3.o x say it again
NewNinetys how can I be both right and missing the point lol
DNA test it and go back home.
It's like the video saying White Culture, there is no such thing. But there is English Culture and that is a huge influence in the entire world. As we become more multi and diverse that culture is starting to change. But it remains English. All I'm trying to say is these guys on the podcast are English they are part of the culture
White english culture is tea, fish and chips, pie/bangers and mash, pubs, certain tv shows, but even then, stuff like pubs can be associated with Irish and Scots. So you could say that white English culture is less definitive but it does exist
Tea is a natural product of India, taken and transported on mass back to the UK during the British empire's peak through the east India trading company which then became extremely popular with Brits and was later refined (addition of sugar and milk etc) Handy to have this sort of knowledge my friend (this is coming from a white, English born male by the way)
Fish and chips came from greece and tea from inda
Jesse Lingard Fans - Wrong, the British brought tea to India using Chinese tea, Indias primary drink was Lassi. Tea grows naturally in India but there was no industry until the British established tea estates, which then spread the tea drinking culture.
Pubs can be associated with Ireland and Scotland yes but they come from England. Also fish and chips are not Greek they come from east london 😂😂 sounds like you're trying to push a false narrative if I'm honest. As for tea yes it was imported from Asia but Jamaica didn't have marijuana as it came from India. Italy's pasta comes from China. Does this mean it's not their culture? No it just means they adopted things from other cultures to make their own take and it's not as if england stole things from cultures to make their own all the time england created football, rugby, various foods etc on english soil, authentically 100% english.
Beef Wellington, Agatha Christie, Parliament, academia, rights of man, liberty
this was my favourite convo you've done.
10:32 - 10:37 is literally the "1 Drop Rule" from America many many many years ago. Great analogy tho!
Ahbleza Sellars and the one drop rule is racist in itself , it’s like saying the white has been tainted so their black by default . Which is disrespectful to black people imo
Aish completely agree; though I must admit I still have much of that mindset in me. That thought process/means of identification and catagorization is still what the majority of we Americans due to that rule being used to discriminate and separate whites from blacks and mixed/light skinned from dark skinned.
7:11 "saying woioi" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent Podcast guys. Keep up the great natural and honest work. For no reason at all I didn't like Poet when I was younger lol now I look on my subscriptions and he's flipping everywhere and I'm enjoying his work. Big up the whole team and keep up the hard work. Great platform
The reason you can't identify white British culture is because it is the norm and the basis of society in England. Just the same as if a white person were to go and live in Jamaica they would be easily identifiable from the rest of the population. British white culture is hard to identify because it has become so widespread as the basis of all culture in western civilisation.
Chris O'Flynn correct!
I mean, there was that whole Empire thing, for better or for worse
Clearly you know noting of the Jamaican population. Smh please don't spread ignorance
Especially around 11 minutes, the voice behind the camera feels like it's Poet's conscious looool Come like a hood narrator "I TOLD YOU N*GGAS" at 12:13 loooool
loooooooooooooooool
THE ACCURACY LOOOOOOOL
Chuckie really really does bring real valuable conversation, and sensibility.
He does think things through more clearly.
Whoever idea this was to create this Podcast 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Your Podcast never disappoint; They are always fun and very entertaining as well as being very educational for the viewer and makes me question so many thing's. Keep up the hard work and stay true.
Damp in the' panty looool''''chuckies killing me🤣🤣🤣🤣
The culture conversation is tragic..😱 the lack of historical knowledge about the country you live in vs your own is shocking.. We gotta do better..P.s British culture is a mix of European cultures.. The royal family is Germanic ..they changed their name to Windsor not very long ago.. The Brits are a mix of French and German originally. And I do not mean the Scots or the Irish. Please. Google is a click away. 😒😒
Eva Kalz ikr the level of ignorance is astounding
thanks Eva. those statements are ignorant and lazy .
@DVN Frisians
Yeah they don't realize that white culture is seeped in the infrastructure in which they live and operate in. This conversation is shockingly narrow.
the day i found out about this podcast was the day i was blessed! keep up the good work guys
To be honest I don't class her as black.
I find it mad that the majority of people actually argue for the one drop rule, that whole argument was created by a racist guy.
Why are we so willing to accept anybody and everybody as being black?
We are the only group of people to do this.
larry bird thank you ! Black people seem to hate everything about racism but the one drop rule
Most people don’t classify mixed race people as being black in the UK, maybe if you do down in London but as for everywhere else if you mixed race you mixed race.
I can’t relate to having a white parent
Aish and the one drop rule was an old American law, its got nothing to do with England
thehoneyeffect you sure about that?
Trust me g
Chuckie is an intelligent human being. Very educated and balanced in his views. Doesn't talk from ignorance, if he feels he doesnt know hes happy to he doesnt know. Dont always need an answer every topic like Poet. But great conversation, Poet also made some good points.
Keep the guys in the back conversating aswell... Good input and knowledge
Wild conversation
Poet had barssss😂✨'walking with your gran in your pocket'
When dan said the ribena thing it made me change the way I preserve myself I am a mix raced male but I do tell a lot of people I am white because I am so fair most people can’t tell when people meet my mum they honestly think I’m adopted. Thank you dan for opening my mind and changing my outlook on myself
Chuckle finished me at 2:30😂😂😂
Being mixed I found that it was very hard to identify with any race due to the fact that both black and white people did not accept me. Majority of black people consider me black however it always shocks me when a black person hates me because I am a mixed and thinks that life is a lot easier. I am black! I was presented with the same disadvantages in education, and amongst my friends (at the time growing up they were a mixed group of races) i was singled out and stopped by police often. When I went uni (outside of london) I quickly found out that a lot of white people wouldn't consider me black but more as just mixed and often use to try to correct me when I said I was black.
Poet, there ain’t no white culture?? Come on my brudda!! Before black people came to the UK, there was a WHOLE culture here una! Read Any book by Charles Dickens, Shakespeare or the Bronte Sisters.
something along the lines of "I hope its not that yardie ting that you was wit a few years ago" looooooool Chuckie you kill me sometimes!
I think what happened is that the English Culture is such a dominant culture and has been for so long that it became the standard for a lot of people to the point where you almost can’t identify it because it’s baked into everything in such a large way. Not to mention it’s been a culture very receptive to other culture and has embraced aspects of other cultures that were were preferable to their own. To me it’s the sign of a former empire that has seen the whole world and taken back the beautiful parts of other cultures to its own.
My mum is 100% black and my dad 100% white and I feel like mixed race people can't be classified as either black or white they are simply just mixed race. We have the privilege of coming from two different cultures and should embrace that.
Jendrik Loeschner exactly. Stuck between two cultures.
Totally! 👌🏼
I have always wondered about a lot of things pertaining to myself. I’m classified a certain way, but don’t understand much or basically anything about it.
My mother is 85% white my father is 100% black
stop me if I'm wrong right, but I come from an English dad and Baltic mum splitting me between two cultures, I think it's a lot less complicated than they're making it out to be, you just come from mixed cultural background, the only reason this gets so much hype is because there's a very visible distinction with mixed race people, you identify with you, you know, people acting like we're some sort of hive mind with no sense of identity and are shackled to our genetic background really irritates me
never wanted to get involved in a conversation more
This chat is interesting. Im quarter black and although it's only 25% I still can't say I'm white
True
'Is that some Lizard business' ... LOL
The answer to your question is: White English culture is all inclusive holidays in benidorm
*ibiza
Lmao that is pretty funny but you are missing out A LOT.
Wimbledon...cricket...rugby...i could go on for ages. You are just ignorant to 'white ' English culture.
Black folk were in the UK centuries before Windrush
Poet needs to open his eyes and look at this surroundings, a lot of white people don't know what black culture is. Especially in this country
Feel like the culture of a certain race is different for each individual depending on how they are educated and their experiences with other races.
We are so multicultural sometimes we don't know our own culture but get told we can't do things from other cultures lol.
It's more class references, Working class have traditions and references and so does high class.
Good conversation, understanding identities can always be confusing. Get Joe on the camera too!
Prince Harry was peering them big batty gyal
You guys need to stop saying your not qualified to have this conversation you are the perfect guys for this convo you just seem like your being too cautious here
Look up the one drop rule the Ribena line was perfect
Thanks for the Irish Scots distinction lady.
Only problem with chuckies pod, proper makes me wanna have a conversation ya’know 😂😅
I'm white from a white culture country
I went through the process of becoming a British citizen (I'm polish) and what they try to teach about being British is embracing all the cultures that live here so being British is not being white anymore. When it comes to white culture there are plenty of things that can be mentioned as well. Btw I meet plenty of black and mixed raced ppl that identify themselves as white.
Royal family got power and money harry is living that life
The ‘England has no culture’ claim comes from spite and resentment. It’s basically a ‘my culture is better than English culture’ argument. There are things great and unique about every culture.
But here are a few examples:
- The Modern English Suit (worn by every business man and most world leaders globally)
- Bonfire Night, 5th November
- Pancake day
- Rugby
- Tennis
- Cricket
- English Pubs
- Cadbury’s chocolate (started as a small shop front by a local man in Birmingham 200 years ago)
- Vimpto (started on a market stall in Manchester in the 1800’s)
- Winnie the Pooh (adopted by the globe)
- Harry Potter (English author, set and based on English boarding school life)
- Lord of the Rings (English author who was an expert in ancient English language at Oxford)
- The Jungle Book (Richard Kipling)
- Peter Rabbit
- William Shakespeare
- Isaac Newton
- Charles Darwin
- Parliamentary Democracy
- Rule of Law
- many Pies
- Pasties
- All mannner of baked goods - (Lemon drizzle, Eccles cakes, Victoria sponge, Bakewell tarts, sticky toffee pudding, scones, apple crumble, Chelsea buns, Battenberg cake…)
In regards to Prince Harry endulging in the fineries that the Caribbean and Africa has to offer - he's only following in the footsteps of his grandad... truss
Shout out to Harry and his family for living off my tax dollars 💵
I’m mixed and I identify as black rather than white because I grew up in a predominantly white neighbourhood and was seen as someone that doesn’t (racially) belong to the people that live there. I have afro hair and dreads, I have a typical Nigerian surname, I’ve had racial slurs thrown my way, I was stared at when the history teacher talked about slavery, I’ve been welcomed more by black people and I get treated equally when with black people. I know I’m mixed and I embrace both my heritage. But tell me that I’m not black.
11:45 mins so true....from my personal experience
‘Bob Marley, I’m sure he’s white’😭😭😭
The royal family, the soldiers surrounding buckingham palace, 5pm tea time, fish and chips and the british articulation (accent) - that's about all I can think of tbh
Levels
I would love to feature on this podcast to actually discuss how can a person act a colour as this is a subject that has forever annoyed me, as this boils down to stereotypes which in its self is a lower form of racism
"Ignorance in not a bad thing bro"
My God🤦♂️
white american culture = jeans, cowboys, country songs, hollywood, emo and scene
Get a camera on Joe man gives valid input
Matthew Lewis True. I commented this last podcast, and I believe would bring more life to the show
We won't be seeing reggio back anytime soon
Hmm see I get what poet is trying to say yeah but to sum it up... It sounds like you are talking about stereotypes and tbh I date a "white" mixed race ting and who is more white than she is black and I can tell you facto my braddah there are many white English traits characteristics and stereotypes. I just don't think you thought about it hard enough Po
Rave culture is primarily white British culture. Shoom etc, M25 raves, free parties (free festival culture + DiY soundsystem), Northern Soul in the North. Jamaican soundsystems started to have an influence later on, from the start of the 90s - there were no MCs at early raves.
Fish and chips isn’t even English or British. It came from a Jewish migrant who brought it to England a long time ago.
HAVE THIS CONVERSATION AGAIN WITH PEOPLE MORE "qualified"...would be interesting!!!
Cockney East London
So much ignorance in this video I don’t know what to do with myself lol.
After hearing dan say the ribena thing it’s changed how I preserve myself I am a mixed race male but I mainly just tell people I’m white because my skin is so fair you can hardly tell until you pin point individual features of my body and my personality and what not but now I’m going to make my heritage more known because I am not and never will jus be white
In agreement with poets point at 12:58 I believe that outside of London, being black doesn’t hold a lot of weight whereas in London when you are around black culture and where you can see the beauty of what being black is in all areas of life whether that be in your local area, music, art or food. It is more common for mixed heritage people to feel proud to just be black.
whiteness is a form of racial privellage and not so much a culture - other “white” ethnic groups ie Polish tend to not identify as white unless they are trying to play into privellage
Idiotka
I'm not saying I didn't enjoy the video but it felt like the whole conversation revolved around skin colour, with complete disregard for what really defines a culture, I can't help but feel like almost exclusively centering on skin colour is really backwards
edit: there's a lot of talk about 'how so and so is gonna identify' they're gonna identify as themselves? your skin colour doesn't define EVERYTHING about you
I think society tries to choose who you are, and how you respond will tell you who you are.
If your mixed your mixed end of. To say your one or the other denies one side of you. I’m mixed I say I’m mixed. People love to try and put mixed race people in one box or the other. Your both! Furthermore if your mixed and raised in England and born here to me you identify more with the white side unless you live in a highly populated black area. My point of view anyway.
Saying all white peoples heritage is being and rich and owing slaves is one racist comment you know terrible terrible comment by Poet
You have terrible, terrible comprehension of the term racism.
Mountain Man so saying all white people come from slave owners isn’t racist get to fuck mate
KyleSerraoLfc no its not,its stereotyping
Mountain Man racist or not that's a technicality, it's stupid remark and I wonder if he'd be so quick to say it if he wasn't sat where he was?
As a mixed race person who identifies as Black, I think mixed race people identify as black or mixed race because White is the dominant racial group in Europe and the World, if the world was run by Black People the dynamic would be different, because Black people would control who is and who isn't part of the dominant culture. Also who is considered white has changed over time in years gone by Irish, Jews, Italians and Greeks were not considered white by the Dominant white groups like the British, French, Scandinavians and Germans.
Tea is chinese therefore it's chinese/asian culture
7:12 🤣😂🤣
Get me on this programme so I can drop some lyrics. The description of somebody visually and the culture of somebody are two different things.
Interesting in Nigeria some people eat cow foot, and it has nothing to do with eating the throw-away parts of the meat. Perspective are key ha!
Continue this debate with man like Akala, think hes qualified to de bunk the ? still...
Nathan Flowers or just any woke black woman
Akala would be amazing on this
There’s black women in the Royal family already, you didn’t know? Emma Thynn, Viscountess Weymouth is one of them, look into it.
Hardcore united us all. Seeing yourself as your colour is your own burden and shows your own basic and level.
I feel like someone like white yard or would have been good for this interview, defo revisit this with White yardie
Come on now. English culture is one of the most interesting there is, you boys just live in it and aren't thinking properly. Here's some to jog your brain... FOOTBALL, Shakespere, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, Bentley, James Bond, Boxing, J. R. R. Tolkien (Lord of the rings), J. K. Rowling, The Beatles, George Michael, Oasis, Blur, Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Glastonbury Festival, Tennis, Tate Gallery, Charles Dickens, loads of great comedians ... and then the invention of engines, trains and one of the first versions of the internet.
Cacio Pepe a black man created the Internet
@Adonysius Rexinis thats like saying a beef patty isnt culturally Representative of Jamaica just because it was inspired by Cornish pasty's...
Alexander Best Black Music is literally the most influential in the world and white people just steal it. From people now even thinking Rock n Roll and Country music is “WhITe MusIC” when it was created by blacks. Literally everything English people rely on comes from other countries. This country was literally built of the sweat and blood of Non blacks. From the stolen jewels in the queens Castle and Crown from Africa. To the enslaved blacks in the Caribbean who’s torture built cities like Liverpool and Birmingham.
@@graceaddison5441 the Caribbeans did not build cities in England you are absolutely delusional moron. And no blk people did not invent every style of music that’s another myth. Beethoven invented rag time which is a predecessor for jazz.
@@VirgoFx. just like saying trump is black. Bullshit
Also in Africa they generally mixed raced or fair skinned people with African descent as white. So it works the other way in Africa
zaippiaz No they don’t. You can be lightskin and not mixrace they’re all thousands of lightskin people in Africa
@@graceaddison5441 yep, many groups of people
Around 13:28 Poet says white people don't have traditions, here's a list (for English people anyway): Sunday roasts, christenings, baby showers, hen nights and stag dos, weddings, honeymoons, pancake day, easter, Halloween, Christmas, going out drinking on the weekend etc etc. If he means general behaviour, people from different locations and social status carry themselves very differently throughout England, you could pick out someone from Newcastle vs a posh guy from London just from how they walk, that's culture and tradition.
Maybe I'm missing his point.
Murray Herts think you are missing his point a lot of those things are generic things and not strongly identifiable to English culture like Dreadlocks, Rastafarian or Reggae is to Jamaicans for instance. Out of all the countries in the U.K., English are hardest to identify. You can easily identify a Scot or Irish person though because they have alot of strong things that identify their culture. Well at least I think that’s what he’s trying to say.
English culture has been a mash up of Northern Europeon culture, stemming from Rome and Greece, then Germany, France, Nordic cultures for 1500 years (along with Christianity.) I think what English culture is, is the base of all Britain and Ireland now, just Scotland, Ireland and Wales have some more bits on top from their original, tribal heritage.
If I showed you n simple drawing of someone in a top hat and monocle and said "where is this person from?" you wouldn't say England? we have our own little silly stereotypes
How many of the biggest rock bands ever were from England? Rolling Stones, the Beatles etc
England popularised and spread football around the world
I could give you a list of a million things, Robin Hood, James Bond, Shakespeare, Knights, King Arthur, Cricket, Big Ben, Stonehenge etc, there's 2000 years or English stuff that is iconically English
They are 'generic' because of the influence of white ppl. You don't notice what is white culture because it's so influential it's the default. & It's telling that the only time we acknowledge white culture is to associate it with negatives that are not even unique to whites. If we all spoke Gaelic in Britain instead of English you'd be able to identify what is uniquely English. Poet is sitting their draped in a german sportsbrand speaking a germanic language and making a living off of covering an english invention & cultural phenom like football and saying whites have no culture lmaoo
Murray Herts English culture is basically a mix of a variety of cultures
2ND BLOCK 66 A.W.O.L Nope that's British
