Their quest for rubber did kick off the AIDS pandemic. No biggie.
I ain’t licking no boots!
jonattonyeah Meh, a slight blip.
As far as I’m concerned History is there as a lesson for you to make up your own judgements regarding you moral compass and prejudices.
Luckily most people acknowledge that we were barbaric killers regardless of race or colour and have moved on.
I think more emphasis on the brutality of colonialism needs to taught in schools as a lesson as we generally learnt about how good we were at war, not the downsides.
Is there a petition I can sign anywhere for the dismantling of the Egyptian pyramids?
hugopal Those right wing memes are two days old
My dad sent me one. In you’re in fine company, LOL
My question still stands, are we going to go full tilt at this now, like Alex Scott presenting Super Sunday level of full tilt, just to try to appease those who think that the white man has had it his own way for far too long?
The treatment of the african nations back then and of people of colour during years past has been absolutely horrific, even barbaric in a lot of circumstances. I have so much sympathy and sorrow for what went on. I am embarrassed about how they were classed in society for so many years.
Am i going to live the rest of my life as an apologist for the behaviour of people i never knew or had any sort of control over their behaviour or actions? Am i fuck.
I think we are heading into extremely dangerous times. I don’t mean solely because of BLM. I think the generations coming through now seem to have a massive sense of entitlement chipped into their shoulders and the likelihood of more and more conflict with older generations is only going to increase.
Scary times indeed Si totally agree.
Along_the_Wire I hadn’t seen any before I wrote that.
And why is it right wing? There’s a pertinent point behind it: where do people draw the line with this guff?
Do the Germans let the Nazi era shame them and hold them back? No they don’t, they accept and acknowledge it and move on. They are now world beaters in many areas of modern human life, whether that’s sport, industry or techno 
I would say most BLM supporters just want a level playing field, now and in the future.
It’s as simple as that really.
Meanwhile, slavery still exists in many parts of the world, with it being statistically most prevalent in… Africa, with around 9 million slaves, and slave markets still existing in places such as Libya.
“More people are enslaved today than at any other time in history. Experts have calculated that roughly 13 million people were captured and sold as slaves between the 15th and 19th centuries; today, an estimated 40.3 million people – more than three times the figure during the transatlantic slave trade – are living in some form of modern slavery, according to the latest figures published by the UN’s International Labour Organization (ILO) and the Walk Free Foundation”

How do you feel about affirmative action policies that are designed to retrospectively adjust living standards and outcomes for ethnic minority groups?

hugopal where do people draw the line with this guff?
Take it on a case by case basis. The Colston statue being a case in point.
The monument itself came years after he died, with no likeness to the man as nobody had any idea what the cunt was supposed to look like.
