Fairwell Dr.RS and thanks for your thoughts.
BLM. Your defence of this movement is IMO unforgivable as you are an educated man. I can understand some ignorant wombats following this political hard left wing (Marxist) movement for their own gain (especially white socialist politicians) but a professional should be able to see this movement for what it is which is a black supremist group. Anyone who supports BLM cannot say honestly that they are against racism. BLM is racism!.
Slavery. A very interesting topic for me as my ancestors where slaves or at least serfs which has been traced back to 16th century northern Germany. I know this because of my name which is known as a ‘Given name’ and is similar to Freeman (One of many names given to freed slaves at the end of the middle ages). There has not been 400 years of black slavery. There has been approx’ 500,000 years of Black slavery, nearly all (well over 99%) of which where enslaved by black people then sold off to other parts of the world including Europe. By far the majority of slavery has been white, many of whom where taken to Africa as slaves by the Barbary pirates as a result of which came both the British and American navy’s. I would recommend you read – https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1526769263/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to get a much more holistic view of the Slave trade rather than the current ‘White man bad’ view of it. I must say though that I do feel proud of being British with respect to slavery as we completely changed the world and took slavery from being a norm in this world to being an illegal act virtually everywhere on the planet and we also bought all black slaves their freedom in the 18th/19th century which we as British only finished paying for in recent years.
I must admit I must be rather ignorant of your claim of so much black history removed from the history books so i’d be very interested to hear more. I have been through every single one of these people mentioned in Black History Month and not one of them actually deserves to be there. Many claims made by those pushing BLM are completely wild and fall somewhere between bare faced lies and extreme exaggerations.
Lewis Hamilton thread. Lewis is either a black supremist with his black power fist or another poor soul infected by the celebrity / MSM lefty – its OK to be racist if your black, mentality. He is certainly a hypocrite using racism as a tool to promote marxism and the defunding of police, end of the nuclear ‘Christian’ family etc. All BLM followers are guilty of this.
Abuse to members – Yes I do see some of this which I don’t agree with but I wouldn’t condone use of Hate Speech laws to manage but I agree with your statement about Civil redress – If anyone has a problem with the way they have been spoken to its up to them to take the OP to the cleaners.
I do appreciate your last chuck of the dice Keith – Very interesting perspective but unfortunately, like many others, you are ignorant of history and blind to the seditious, violent and political nature of todays movements. To back a movement that wants to remove YOU from your job is very, very strange IMO. I would suggest in future that if you have an issue with anything that’s been said on a forum, speak up. Chucking your 3 penneth in now is a bit of a cop out, if you’ll pardon the pun!.
