Had a heightened sense of pride during the Jubilee celebrations but in general always been proud to be British. Proud about everything in this nations history, not so much about the misfortune put onto others but looking back the world was a different place back then and this country always punched above it's own weight so I am glad we are in the position we find ourselves in today.
Looking at M12's comment and knowing he is from Manchester it does make me wonder if that is just a mental insecurity kinda tip or experiences he has had. But I have a very close friend who is Mancunian in my eyes, born and raised here, no different from me or any other people I know nor has he ever stepped foot off British soil but he doesn't consider himself English/British but Ghanian. I've never heard him talk about or witness any kind of event that would make him not feel like he belonged here, it appears to be just a thought installed in his mind.

people have to realise this isn't america were u wouldn't think twice in assuming someone is an american citizen whatever their colour
here when u cut through the bullshit, throughout europe. u have to look the part
ffs even when talking about football its tredding on ice, the 'we' and 'were' gonna win talk will get a slight off look for a sec
how can i be a first class citizen when the economic glass ceiling is still very real
from when people that look like me reach the upper echelons of society and its nothing to shout about
then the first step has been made, second being removing asian/black british from forms

some of you lot are sounding like the types that find racism from nothing
he gave me a dirty look while i spat on the floor - he must be racist
he beeped his horn at me when i turned the corner eventhough i didn't indicate - he must be racist.
he told me to take my hood down in the shop when there's a sign which says no hoods - he must be racist
allow walking around thinking no one accepts you..just live life and be proud.
