An International Slavery Museum not enough of a monument?
Name of streets in my opinion, donāt necessarily change them but at eye level give the origins of them and how they got them.
KKK Leader arrested nope everything is the Protester fault.
Said nobody with a brain
BBC News - KKK āleaderā charged for attack on Black Lives Matter protesters
In a little confused by your post
Oops wrong thread, soz. Please move Mods
But at least Trumpās opposition has introduced a response to the protests on BLM
Little Britain has been removed from iPlayer
Right or wrong?
Computer says no.
Itās a hard one isnāt it. Itās a show that, now not then, offends everyone equally, blacks, gays, transvestites, chavs, chubsters, physically challenged etc.
Iām sure it wouldnāt be made now but, then, as a parody of life it was quite amusing.
Wrong IMO.And stupid because it will be totally self defeating, it will be seized upon and ridiculed by the Sun, Mail etc as a distraction from the serious and real racism going on. Which of course will undermine the fight to change things. Jeez, donāt these people think these things through before acting? Knee jerk reactions never work, especially when they are reacting to a relatively small but very vocal group of committed people with their own agenda. I wouldnāt mind betting that the objections to Little Britain, (which i thought was shite), and the pressure to have it removed didnāt come from black people. It would have come from middle class ā right onā white people who were offended on black peopleās behalf. Plenty of them employed in government departments all over, with nice salaries and fancy titles like āCultural Diversity Officer grade 2ā and other such bollocks.I suppose some of them think they mean well, but i suspect the majority of them know exactly what the result will be. Get people talking about the easily mocked trivialities, ignoring the real issues.
Against. What next? The final episode of Operation Good Guys, a brilliant satire on how institutions see race (the coppers canāt get any minorities so they foolishly create their own).
Papa Lazarou, the character from the League of Gentlemen that had Verbal so confused?
Slippery slope. no racism intended.
Any way this is all moot.
Everyoneās pent up frustration will be released as a tsunami of spending is unleashed when new look opens on Monday
My BFF is still in Dubai. He has been running an innerweb TV show with a mate helping PublicSpeakers, Trainers & Event Professionals prepare for the new reailty.
His Mum is from St Kitts, Dad from Redcar.
Last night they relaunched S2 of the show geared at actual things their market could do.
My BFF was in the middle of assessing the business impact of #BLM & how people needed to understand the key issues & be aware of the pitfalls of #BLM
Facebook trashed their show & page.
Un fucking believable.
They had 3000 viewers all influencers who saw FB pull a sane discussion of the impact on business because it was racist
And today got an apology
Anyone notice the tea companies getting their corporate virtue-signalling in the other day? 
Someone should point them towards thisā¦
BBC News - The bitter story behind the UKās national drink
Brown lives donāt matter
Quite.
I particularly enjoyed the bit where they advised against a royal visit to a tea estate in 2015, given that the working conditions are so appalling that the royal couple might be upset. So they canāt even dismiss it as the sins of their fathers, itās still happening now.
BTW I see Keith Lemon came out the other day and apologised for his portrayals of Craig David and Scary Spiceā¦
thereās a bit in the bottom of that article about Little Britain as wellā¦
Thatās a decision for him and I respect it.
Does anyone think Matt Lucas and David Walliams were trying to be racist, are racist, etc?
Little Britain is a cruel show, but itās cruel to pretty much everyone.
A couple of points to share here - both from different ends of the debate.
Hereās a passionate defence of the police profession whilst unequivocally condemning the Floyd incident - although not covering the scenes of apparent police brutality that weāve seen since.
Itās perhaps worth remembering that whilst the institution might be racist (institutionally) many of the human beings that are police are not.
Not as simple as that, but worth remembering I feel.
One āfactā that Iāve seen shared in defence of the charge that Britain is an inherently racist county is that when slavery was abolished we borrowed and spent so much on compensation that weāve only recently paid off the bill.
It was Ā£20m at the time, apparently about Ā£17b in todayās money. Hereās an example.
The implication here is that we, and many generations before us, spent so much on compensation that we canāt possibly be racist.
What isnāt mentioned is that that money went to slave owners to compensate them for their loss of āassetsā - and not to the slaves for treating them like property.
Thatās disgusting.
