Edward Colston statue: Four cleared of criminal damage

[Deleted member 292770]

Would have stood a chance had the abomination been private waste and not municipal garbage.

Didn’t think bronze would qualify as mw

Wonder how the Bristolians would feel about people dumping old washing machines , tv’s, clothes and motor vehicles in the Harbour because of their links to child slavery and exploitation in the countries of their manufacture.

I'm sure many Bristolians of a low IQ will attempt to exploit the verdict to their own advantage and who can blame them. Repeated failure however will ultimately become tiresome and expensive.

Plasterers tools are known to not the sharpest.

Every single one of your posts in this thread, bar one pointless post where a simple 'Like' would have sufficed, was full of you trying to promote division between various ethnicities.
Objecting to slavery is not about the difference in ethnicity.
To most right thinking people slavery is an abomination irrespective of the ethnicities of anyone involved.

Oh the Irony you're starting to get it aren't you. The division caused by all of this, the inference of BLM as opposed to we fight as one, the incidence every statue in question is a white british figure who as we have discussed is part of our british heritage, whilst apparently white 'offended' kids rip them down. All of this causes division and an over reaction in how we as a public collective react to this bs, ie distorted high proportional representation on TV news and adverts of black people. (no im not a racist ffs) I agree a somewhat thread hijack but this was MY thread so ill say what i want thanks.

Germany for example, if you haven't noticed we have all forgiven and moved on, yes some germans of the past generation had committed heinous crimes but weve all moved on and accepted it was their past theyre dead and none of the people of Germany today are responsible and or should be associated in any way with that past. Yet here we are in the UK still wallowing in our post colonial guilt.. it's laughable.

You are of the minority here in your opinion if you haven't noticed, id still say you're close to troll status or you're paid to sit on here and keep fools like me biting at these posts for hits or some financial gain.

Yah get me?

In many cases the slaves would have been worse off had they been left in Africa.

Festive thinks that statues of Heinrich Himmler would be tolerated in Germany.

Maybe not statues in the streets but there are some on display in safe places and the white middle class apologists haven't torn down their openly displayed slave trader statues.

Because the statues correctly display the association to slavery?

You are desperately trying to ignite a division between ethnicities with your constant reference to various ethnicities.
Slavery is an abomination irrespective of ethnicity.
You complain about black people being represented on TV, and you have the audacity to claim that you're not racist.
Would it matter to you if everyone on TV was black?

Germany for example, if you haven't noticed we have all forgiven and moved on, yes some germans of the past generation had committed heinous crimes but weve all moved on and accepted it was their past theyre dead and none of the people of Germany today are responsible and or should be associated in any way with that past.

Germany's history has not been airbrushed to remove those heinous crimes. They're probably taught in German schools, as they are in other country's schools.

...keep fools like me

While there are fools like you trying to promote division based on ethnicity, I'll continue to oppose your efforts.

.

If that was the case then surely that would be a case of racism. Black people make up 3% of the British population therefor in an equal fair society you would expect black people to make up 3% of TV. Same with football why are they choosing so many black players over other ethnicities? if sides were chosen equally from society then there would be one black player in every three teams. I don't know, may be black people read the news better, act better, advertise better, make better footballers and sports people. But that thought would be racist as we are all entirely equal at everything.
