how have I cheery picked?We know why you cherry picked parts of my post.
Indeed there's alot of things i would like removed from this planet but i just have to accept other people don't,.. not saying it's right but just like you and i debate here we all have diversity which make up our opinions."The bronze memorial, which had been in place since 1895, had been the subject of an 11,000-strong petition to have it removed. "The council decided that there were insufficient numbers of signatories, and did not warrant a discussion.

Off you go Thrush.. (go on paste lots of faux lol's)how have I cheery picked?
you've pointed out that Colston funded school places that included black people, you didnt mention the money that funded those places came from slave trade profits............so you are cherry picking.
I wasnt cheery picking, just putting it in context
resorting to insults means you have no counter argument.Off you go Thrush.. (go on paste lots of faux lol's)
Notch you arent worthy of my debate because when you get frustrated you become a KJ. Off you go talk to your friendsresorting to insults means you have no counter argument.
nah sorry -Im a killjoy because I point out the logical fallacies that drive your arguments.Notch you arent worthy of my debate because when you get frustrated you become a KJ.
No i am not.I see Vinty is jumping on the racist bandwagon.
So..I watched some of the news tonight..
The statue felled also funded schools to which black people attended and gained their education.
The mayor of Bristol is black..(another hiccup in the prviliedged selection there surely nothing to do with being the best man for the job or was it a token vote)
Other news..
A premier footballer noted only a 3rd of football players are black. - Wow that's not a bad representation of the population of blacks in UK.
Young Blacks are more likely to be arrested over white and Asians(who are also black or not?)
Oh and a black guy comments about Winston statue being defaced because he was a racist..omfg I'm not even going to go further there..
Etc etc.
I'm a left handed redhead every tool I get doesnt fit or had tools etc all designed for right handers its discrimination! Every person calls me a lefty or a gingah I cry myself to sleep every night.. not.
Even my metal detector has a discriminate button on it of course I've removed it and taped over the hole.
So it's ok for ill gotten gains to be spent if the cause it good.
All drug dealers and oligarchs welcome your defence.
You missed your daily black coffee.
I see that Sadiq Khan is jumping on the race bandwagon.
Which section of society wants to celebrate slavers?No i am not.
Why take take down statues commemorating one section of society and replace them with statues commemorating another section of society.
You seem to be obsessed with dividing people along racial lines.
If statues are going to be replaced, they should be replaced with figures that the whole community can identity with.
Maybe statues commemorating the NHS would be a good idea.
