Liberals in the United Kingdom have worked desperately to paint white Britons uniquely as history's villains, erase them from British history, and/or programmatically undermine their unique claims to indigeneity in the isles.
The trouble for the institutional proponents of this vilification and revisionism campaign is that facts keep getting in the way.
Case in point: Recent DNA analysis confirms that the second-century skeleton gleefully identified by the BBC as the "first black Briton" was not a sub-Saharan African but rather a white woman.
'Her story has shifted over time and has sparked important debates about diversity.'
A skeleton was discovered in the 1950s in Beachy Head, England, which belonged to a young woman who lived in the second or third century. Her remains sat in storage for decades until 2012, when Jonathan Seaman, the heritage officer at the Eastbourne Borough council, and his team "came across two boxes, which said ‘Beachy Head, something to do with 1956 or 1959,’ and that was about it."
As there were virtually no records available about the remains, Seaman and his team worked to identify the Roman-era skeleton, sending it off for facial reconstruction, which was undertaken by Caroline Wilkinson, an academic then at Dundee University.
Seaman recalled, "Straight away on seeing this girl, [Wilkinson] said, 'Oh my, you realize you’ve got a sub-Saharan African here?’"
Seaman noted further:
Caroline subsequently had it looked at by two more experts who agreed, without being prompted, that this individual showed many traits of being a sub-Saharan African person. They were 100% sure that this was the origin of this lady. There are certain features of the skull that you can tell are Caucasian or African. We didn’t know her carbon date at that stage or anything about her, so again it just deepened the mystery. They reconstructed her, and as they did so, her African origins came out in the features of her face.While the media made a big deal out of this supposed discovery, the BBC went further than most, hyping it both in its news coverage and in its 2016 "Black and British: A Forgotten History" documentary.
In the documentary, British-Nigerian host David Olusoga — overcome with delight at the sight of a facial reconstruction of the Beachy Head Woman with dark skin, dark eyes, and dark hair — tells Seaman, "So she's a black Briton? ... So she's the same as me — she's somebody who is both [British and African] but who spent their life in this country."

As part of the documentary series, the BBC installed a plaque where the remains of the Beachy Head Woman were found, stating, "The remains of the 'BEACHY HEAD WOMAN' were found near this site. Of African origin, she lived in East Sussex 2nd-3rd century AD."
The plaque was removed in 2023 after DNA testing by the Crick Institute determined that the Beachy Head Woman's origin was not Africa but possibly Cyprus.
More recently, a research team led by Drs. Selina Brace and William Marsh of London's Natural History Museum and Andy Walton of University College London re-examined the skeleton using state-of-the-art DNA analysis techniques. They determined that the Beachy Head Woman was neither an African nor a Cypriot but a white local from the south coast of England.
According to the researchers' findings, which were published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, "she shows a close affinity to individuals from modern-day England and contemporary Roman-era Iron Age individuals in England and Northern continental Europe."
DNA results indicate that the Beachy Head Woman had blond hair, blue eyes, and "intermediate skin," with paleness weighted as more likely.
The researchers noted that "the decade-long investigation into Beachy Head Woman's origins has centered around how her story has shifted over time and has sparked important debates about diversity and how we portray individuals from our past. The results presented here will no doubt add to this."

After the alleged murder of renowned Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, on December 14, President Trump responded in a Truth Social post that sparked notable pushback from within the MAGA base.
The morning after the couple were found stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home, President Trump posted the following message.
Glenn Beck says that while the response “made [him] sad,” he understands the context more than most. On this episode of “The Glenn Beck Program,” Glenn provides insight that perhaps explains — but doesn’t justify — the vitriol in Trump’s controversial statement.
One thing we have to realize, Glenn says, is that Trump “is a knife fighter.” Even Glenn himself has been on the receiving end of Trump’s infamous fury.
“The president has said all kinds of things about me at times when I disagree with him. He’ll say, ‘Yeah, he’s just a failing, fat blob’ or whatever, and that's just him,” Glenn laughs.
Second, much of Trump’s vitriol stems from years of the left “going after his family.”
“We showed you the documents. They had a plan: Take him down, take his family down, to stop MAGA at all costs. Put them in jail. I mean, those are their words,” Glenn says.
Glenn remembers talking to Trump back in 2021 shortly after Democrats reclaimed power and were destroying everything he’d built in his first term. “They’re going after my damn children,” he told Glenn.
“He wasn’t Donald Trump. He was a dad. ... I saw him really, truly mad for the very first time, and it was righteous indignation,” Glenn says.
Just three years later, Trump escaped an assassin’s bullet by a hair’s breadth.
“He has been kicked in the head over and over and over again,” Glenn says.
But while Trump has every right to be fed up with the Trump derangement syndrome that’s put both him and his family in jeopardy, it doesn’t change the fact that hate only breeds more hate.
“The biggest thing that [Jesus] taught was, love your enemies, don’t hate them. But that’s really, really hard to do,” Glenn says, “and the president isn’t there yet.”
Even if his venom toward Reiner is understandable in light of everything the left has put him through, the Truth Social post was still a “bad move,” he says.
“I’m not excusing it, but I am tempering it with: None of us have gone through what he has gone through with his family, somebody shooting at him, being called fascist Hitler all the time. I mean, that wears on you and changes you,” he adds.

"Unexpectedly." Not for those of us who voted for Trump.
Remember all that left-wing panicmongering over Trump tariffs? And now crying about "affordability" but were silent when inflation shot to 9% under Biden. The left HATES you.
The House GOP passed a bill outright banning transgender surgeries for minors, yet some Republicans still objected.
Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's bill Protect Children's Innocence Act passed in a 216-211 late-night vote on Wednesday. This legislation would make it a felony to perform sex changes or provide puberty blockers and hormone therapy to children.
'I wish that Republicans were as hell-bent on protecting children as Democrats are when it comes to mutilating them.'
Although the bill was passed largely along party lines, both Democrats and Republicans had some defectors.
On the Republican side, Reps. Mike Lawler of New York, Mike Kennedy of Utah, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, and Gabe Evans of Colorado voted against criminalizing transgender surgeries for children. Only three Democrats voted in favor of Greene's bill: Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Donald Davis of North Carolina, and Vicente Gonzalez of Texas.

Greene's legislation is one of two GOP-led bills on the docket targeting transgender interventions for minors. Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, outlined the key differences between Greene's Protect Children's Innocence Act and Texas Republican Rep. Dan Crenshaw's bill the Do No Harm in Medicaid Act.
"It's necessary because it bans the procedure outright," Schilling said of Greene's bill. "We need this nationwide, because children in California should be protected from these procedures just as much as the kids in Texas or Oklahoma or Alabama or Mississippi or Florida."
"If we can't get the full ban done, we should at least make sure the taxpayers aren't paying for it, right?" Schilling said of Crenshaw's bill. "If you want a sex-change procedure, you should have to pay for it yourself. These are so expensive. They're so harmful to the individual. Why are you making us participate in this?"

Both bills are useful because they force lawmakers to go on the record, articulating their degree of support for transgender ideology. Greene's bill saw near unanimous support from Republicans as well as near unanimous condemnation from Democrats. Crenshaw's bill puts forward a softer legislative approach, leaving room for moderates on either side to clarify their views on transgender interventions for children.
"I wish that Republicans were as hell-bent on protecting children as Democrats are when it comes to mutilating them," Schilling told Blaze News. "There's a difference between the two parties and how fired up they are when it comes to their principles. I think not giving kids sex changes is so commonsense. But these guys will figure out a way to make it controversial and debatable."
"If Republicans can't deliver on these things, or at least show that they're trying to deliver, voters are going to give up on us morally, financially, and politically," Schilling added. "This is a must-win for Republicans."
