UK - 'Hateful' professor who insists St George's Flag 'represents racism, not patriotism' and should be CHANGED leaves TV viewers outraged

'Both of these flags are the flags that were flown on ships that enslaved my ancestors; those are the flags that the British Army marched into places like Pakistan, India, Bengal, Africa, and colonised 25 percent of the world.

'The far-Right picks up these flags and has consistently since the 60s, 70s, since my parents' generation have been in the country because these flags represent the racism that they are putting out into the world.

A Good Morning Britain guest has sparked fury by claiming the St George's flag is 'racist' and should be changed.

Controversial black studies professor Kehinde Andrews, who has previously attacked Britain and the Royal Family, claimed England's national flag was deep-rooted in racism amid a row over a 'patriotic outpouring' around the country.

An online movement called 'Operation Raise the Colours' has led to communities across the country hanging up Union Jack and St George's flags, including in Birmingham, London, Bradford, Newcastle and Norwich.

But a row broke out when Birmingham City Council announced it would begin removing British flags from the city's streets for 'safety reasons' - despite allowing Palestine flags to fly high for several months.

Council workers in Tower Hamlets, east London, were also met with abuse as they began to tear down flags hung by patriotic campaigners who insist they are not 'racist' but simply 'proud English men'.

It comes at a time when St George's flags have frequently been displayed by protesters outside migrant hotels - including The Bell Hotel, in Epping, Essex and the Britannia International in Canary Wharf, where several demonstrations have been held.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain on Tuesday, Prof Andrews weighed into the nationwide debate, telling hosts Adil Ray and Kate Garraway that the history of the flag has always been problematic and 'represents racism'.

This pos Prof is as bad as our far left immigrant Federal judges who have been obstructing Donald Trump.

No, the claim is misleading. Video shows a man chanting “we want bacon” and “I like bacon” at a protest against a Dalton mosque on Aug 16, 2025. He was arrested for a public order offence and bailed, per Cumbria Police. The chant likely contributed as provocation, but not the sole reason.

Conquerors usually rule their conquered with a heavy hand.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

The Union Jack’s days are numbered.

When the foreigners finally get total control of all the government, national and local, they will change the flag, depose the royals and erect minarets in Piccadilly.............

'Both of these flags are the flags that were flown on ships that enslaved my ancestors

And they are going to be flown on the ships that take you back.

In good King Charles' golden days when loyalty no harm meant
A pious man of God was I and so I gained preferment.
There is no god but God quoth I, Muhammad is His prophet.
The infidel sign upon the flag shall soon be taken off it.

Someone should ask this professor why when blacks who have been carping about systemic racism for years will not condemn blacks who join Gaza protest and chant “from the river to the sea” which is condoning the annihilation of a whole country’s population based on race?

The concealed is being revealed of what Perfidious Albion thinks of its flags (the Union Jack and St. George) and its people.

I am sure it will have a minaret on it.

I guess that ‘black studies’ doesn’t include the fact that the United Kingdom and the Royal Navy spent a lot of treasure and men’s lives trying to eliminate the slave trade. Certainly a lot more than any Africans did.

"Controversial black studies professor Kehinde Andrews"

One must wonder why he would chose to live in such a notoriously racist hive of scum and villainy. Delta flies every day.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

I’m convinced he’s a convert.

[Jeff Vader]

someone needs to remind the professor, that his ancestors chose to live in Britain. They weren’t forced to, they chose to leave their country and reside there

[KingLudd]

Reading just the headline, I thought this article was about St. George Floyd. lol

[dfwgator]

I am sure it will have a minaret on it.

Drop your bombs between the minarets!

I was going to make the same point, and the anti slavery ships sailed under that same flag.

[No name given]

That wouldn’t surprise me at all.

[healy61]

Britain will have outlawed slavery 200 years in 2033. 200 years. The professor needs to find something else to bitch about. No one is listening and no one is caring.
