Looks like a cult, tbh.

    “The tribe”, “the group” – aka three people.

    Also, for the record, I’d like to point out that the Daily Record is a Scottish tabloid.

    Britain with no irony: “You can’t come to a land and act like its yours! We were living here first!”

    That was certainly… a read. I don’t know enough about Jacobites, anyone have any context on that?

      To simplify, it was a political group of Catholic conservatives, which fought the Protestant kings and queens. They were not especially black.

          There’s a group of people who are (rightly) concerned that black folks have been omitted from history, and have overcorrected to claiming that basically all important historical figures ever were black. Another comment in this thread mentioned the Black Israelites, but there’s also the Nation of Islam (nothing Yakub made could be good of course).

            Betting the lost black tribe nonsense is a corruption of some African Christian myth. The Christians were already there by the 1st century, and in no small numbers, building churches, all that. There’s a lot of history there I’m ignorant of.

      Neither are the Scots if you go back far enough.

      All humans are immigrants except MAYBE some Ethiopians still living in the cradle of life.

      Idk i feel like 1,000 years should be long enough to naturalize. If they can hold those woods for 1,000 years, they should be considered natives.
