I have been surprised at the reactions in countries like Africa. Genuine hatred of the Queen. Her long history and traveled a path that has rankled others.

The spread of dirty moslemnity, Dale? Besides, they're a rather thankless bunch, expecting the white man to freely share with them the fruits of his labour and in return unwilling even to give up their animalism. What do they have but hate to offer? They grow up hating themselves, then direct it at others. They want the goodies they see on teevee. Know they can't have them. They hate some more.
There's people like that in India too. I think it's got less to do with color than culture. There are sub-societies that just couldn't ever integrate with modern civilization. To most of them, Islam or some voodoo tribalist kind of evangelism is more appealing. Empowering even.
But I'll bet the hatred you are seeing on the internet is all them african aboobakars and hosseins.

A cult of convenient indolence, thievery, and class envy. Failed cultures, a multi-millennial reality. Did I mention indolence? "Moslemnity," can anyone name others ?

Rantburg always has stories you will not see elsewhere. But the commentariat and subsequent observations are golden. Thank you all!

Yes, he's been known to commiserate with the mohameds a lot. And he claims he's a totally secular student of all religion.
Methinks more like an Ahab than a total Agag. The sorta flexible fruitloop that'll bow his head just about anywhere he is politely asked to. There was a rumour in the 90s he wanted to convert to Islam to marry some Turkish broad.
There's a sampling bias in favor of dislike. It makes a "better" news story; those who don't care won't be heard from; and the ones who kind of liked her don't want to be thought disloyal to their own country/tribe. (During the civil conflict you could find people in Sierra Leone who wished the Brits would come and run the place, but they'd have changed their tune quickly if the Brits had--such is human nature.)
There's a problem with being an icon of the country--you get the bad with the good. Granted, it would almost certainly have been worse for the former colonies to have been colonies of France or Germany or Leopold II, but that's not something they can know. In the event, the Africans were often hard done by--worse than we were when we decided that we didn't want taxation without representation.
Grandpa told his stories, and his grandchildren blame the representative of UK, never mind that she had little or nothing to do with what the local officials did.
The ones that want reparations for slavery, or like the attention they get from tweeting nastiness from safe professorships at CMU--I understand where they're coming from too, but find that I'm short of sympathy.

Dron66046, due to a Portuguese royal princesses in the late middle ages... the United Kingdoms royal line has some direct genetic links to Mo-Man. Likely as good a link as the King of Jordan.

I spoke to a professor who was or is teaching advanced mathematics at Frostburg College. Being from India I asked him directly about the Queen and he responded by giving me the thumbs down. I believe Putin has found a wedge to drive apart the west from many other countries. Colonialism of affected countries over many years has left a deep mark of pain. I believe Putin will apply pressure on this sore to magnify all feelings of anger. Putin offers that they keep their individuality and join his alliance with like minded peoples. He has made an interesting chess move.

I was educated a bit today by two who were older than myself. One told of The Queen's father dying in Hatti and her brother dying also so at 21 she became the Queen. 70 some years as Queen would incur some blame I suppose.
#25
^ #24 yes, I was in a rush. I repeated an other's comment. Upon review I was a bit off. The woman insisted the father died in Hatti. Another married an American woman and so was not considered. It has been a very long time to revisit this history.

Putin and Russia claiming to be anti-imperialist at the same time they failingly attempt to reclaim their own. Uh huh. Pull the other one, and have a nice drink of copium.

I think there are lots of trade and military advantages of being part of the commonwealth.
I think the Falklands war was fought in part to show the 3rd World that England is still around despite vast distances and value of the property in question. That was some time ago but they've had some major wars since to reaffirm the point again and again.

And speaking of empires, artillery fire just erupted along the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia (Russian client state). Apparently Russia's deterrent ability has evaporated.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
