Oooops

How many black people did you question before you formed that opinion?


He should have put some black people really John.... Also could have gave a mention to some white people who feel ashamed.

But that as side he made a very good point. (If only it was so easy for Tottenham to accumulate an easy point)

I don't know the woman, or anything about her, so this comes from a completely neutral point of view. I imagine anybody would be a tad shocked to discover their ancestors were slavers and it would probably have been even more of a shock to this woman given the irony of the situation. So I don't blame her if she showed some emotion. But that was then and this is now and I don't see had any option but to acknowledge the situation and move on. Maybe she could use the experience for some good in raising the issue of modern slavery.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: tres amusant
 
Thanks himmi, let me know how it goes.
I take that as your excuse for not bothering to try to find any evidence to support your preposterous allegation about my supposed racism.
Do you regularly make such lying false allegations?
Did you learn that from someone else, or is an inherent trait?
 
If it were me I'd just take it on the chin and discuss my thoughts on slavery in the modern world, certainly wouldn't be blubbering on the telly.
Of course you would, but then your family, and your ancestors over the last couple of hundred years have not suffered from racism and discrimination. And you know full well, that if people don't stand up against racism, your children and their children will continue to suffer from racism and discrimination all their lives.
So of course, you cannot understand what all the fuss is about.

Of course your view comes from a neutral point.
Just like your previous comments. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
It's hard to decipher what your point is, but you seem to be saying it's still outrageous because he was lighter skinned. (phew, relief) Do you have a sliding scale of black-whiteness that you use? What actually happens when the slaver is below your minimum whiteness level?

Your post was convoluted and hardly related to anything ihavenojob said. But, operating in your own narrow dimension, you probably won't see that.
 
Some of my relatives went to Australia a long long time ago, am I ashamed ? No. I can't see why people should be ashamed, embarrassed about something they had no part or control of.
It isn't about what happened a couple of hundred years ago, it's about the continued fall out from those occurrences, the continued racism and discrimination suffered by black people, the continued hateful rhetoric generated against migrants, and the continued riches and advantages enjoyed by the slaver traders' subsequent generations.

It is people like you and BLM who are stirring up hatred and causing division. Perceived , and real racism seems to have escalated since the BLM movement came to prominence.
 
It was interesting that, following her discovery, she said that she isn't ashamed of her history and yet, black people expect white people to be ashamed of theirs. What a hypocrite

You see I'm with John on this.

Watching Chelsea at a pub some time ago I got talking the a black Kenyan.
I told him my Dad served in Kenya. He said ask your Dad about the Mau mau.. He then educated me in a way that I should feel guilt. I told my Dad and he educated me without glossing over.

Last Saturday another pub another Black Kenyan I met. He bought me a drink I bought him a drink. (No sex)
I like to show off a little and I spoke of my limited knowledge of the Mau mau.

Now he had a totally different perspective of the British involvement in which was positive.

Clearly the average, and especially the anti-BLM, have no idea of the anger of black people who have suffered from racism and discrimination created by the supposed moral justification for slavery.

Firstly, welcome back himmy, bobby dazzler, captain nemesis etc etc

in this case the lady is black and so was her 4x great grandfather which goes against the narrative that it was only white people who owned slaves.

Their is no moral justification for slave ownership, however what people say is that it was a by product of the age of which no one can change regardless of how much whining one may do about it, at some point people need to move on.

no one has said it is an acceptable way of life.

Brit's can take the moral stance that we were at the forefront of abolishing it though..
