I think the point being made by several people is that because the people that started Stonehenge were darker skinned than contemporary white British people, it allows kids to envisage a Britain whose culture, society and history was not purely the construct of a bunch of white dudes.
To draw a direct link between the beaker people and modern black British kids isn’t the intent, it’s that not everything in this country came from people who looked like Ben Fogle. So if you are a kid who doesn’t look like mr typical white kid, you are still part of the deal.
