And only one looks back.
Only one
Looks
Back. ✝️

Yes, this is my real hair. It’s very long, thick, and naturally curly. No extensions, no perm, just the hair God gave me.
My family has told me I need to wad it up when we go places because it seems like everywhere we go, somebody stops me or makes a comment about my hair.
I wear it up around the house a lot, but when I go shopping or somewhere, I like to let it down. I don’t wear it down to get attention. It’s just how I like my hair.
I understand it gets noticed, but why should I have to keep it put up just so people won’t say something?
God gave me this hair, and I’m thankful for it. I’m not trying to show off or draw attention to myself. I’m just being me.
I guess I just don’t see why I should have to hide something God blessed me with. ❤️

Her name was Alina Pravosudova.
She was a 23-year-old Jewish Israeli young woman whose parents came to Israel from Russia seeking safety.
She was on-duty as an IDF solider October 7th morning, and heeded the call of duty.
She was brave.
On Saturday morning, Alina and the team she commanded bravely fought the terrorist squad at the Urim base. Alina returned fire and shot the terrorists who were holed up in the barracks.
At one point, the terrorists threw a grenade into it and managed to enter the barracks, which caused the deaths of the soldiers, including Alina, who was bravely killed while protecting her soldiers.
Rest in peace, Alina 💔

This is an excellent short piece by Rafe, covering the bases on the definition of English ethnicity.
Our American cousins -GENERALLY & unashamedly- refer to each other, AND THEMSELVES, as African/Native/Italian/Dutch/Irish-American etc, indicating culture & ethnicity in one go.

Rubbish. Your bill is called the "English ETHNIC Identity Bill"
You criticised the flying of the English flag. Now you seek to deny the English their unique ethnicity, their ultimate & most intrinsic identity
Denying a group their ethnic heritage contributes to "cultural genocide" or "ethnocide" according to the 1944 definition
Polling shows that ALMOST ALL ethnic minorities in England still understand that "English" is a fundamentally ethnic identity to which they do not belong
It is only certain parts of the White British community - and activists like yourself - who seek to engage in ethnic erasure
Such a large percentage of White British people disagree with you, that it is dangerous to go down this needless path
Acts like yours are the reason for the growth of ethno-nationalism, not to mention political extremism. Their rise is a direct reaction to needless provocation from leftist elites
If one is born and raised in England, a person may be culturally English -- but that is wholly distinct and separate from being ethnically English. The two should not be conflated.
The two identities - ethnically English and culturally English - have happily co-existed for generations - with the historically tiny culturally English understanding their status and preferring to identity as civically and legally "British" rather than English.
This was done partly out of respect for the ethnic English, who accounted for 92% of the population of England as recently as 1991. But it was also because they naturally identified with their own ethnic group.
This is the only correct view. By way of illustration:
An Englishman born and raised in Japan, who was brought up in Japanese culture and who speaks Japanese with a flawless Japanese accent is clearly culturally Japanese -- but he remains ethnically English. That is an immutable characteristic.
In contrast with England, however, an immigrant to Japan can also be legally Japanese. Japan is a sovereign country of which he is a passport-holding citizen.
So this Englishman is culturally and legally Japanese but he is clearly not ethnically Japanese. I'd wager that 99%+ of Japanese people would agree with this - they'd say it was blindingly obvious
There is such an Englishman in Japan, actually. His name is Joshua Thomson, and he is a sensation for precisely this reason. He identifies as culturally Japanese but acknowledges he is not ethnically Japanese
But Englishness is an even more exceptional case. Unlike Japan, England is not a sovereign nation. It has no citizenship or passports. There is no nationality law.
One may be culturally English - as, say, the footballer Ian Wright is. But Ian Wright can no more be ethnically English than he (or anyone) can be legally English.
So that begs the question: what is the point of doing this?
What is behind this dangerous, provocative and completely unnecessary desire to erase / undermine English ethnicity, by far the most historically significant and consequential identity for creating the England we know and love?
Ethnic minorities are not calling for it. Poling shows that a mere 10% identify as English. The rest identify either as British or of the ethnicity of their ancestral homeland.
If anyone still believes the myth that the Liberal Democrats are a "centrist" party of "moderates" - falling somewhere between the Tories and Labour - this reprehensible policy by one of their MPs must surely blast it to smithereens.
Economically they may be more centrist than Labour - but culturally they are every bit as reckless and dangerous.
