George Floyd death

But yeah, not defending slavery at all

Regarding slavery discussion, has indentured servitude been mentioned yet?

Not that I can recall..

Who's the maasta now!

To be fair, I have to be the devils advocate.

I thought history taught us that slavery was something different. I didn`t know slavery was all about washing feet.

First thing is to have those SJWs "privileges" removed by taking away those cellphones and the access to Facebook and Twitter.
Then the SJWs need to go work in the houses of the people they oppressed. The people they oppressed can also induce punishment for work half done and stuff.
Of course the SJWs will also need to give away all belongings.

But I digress, slavery was washing feet.... OK

It is paint.

It will wash off.

It sends out a statement against Churchill's racism.

The obsession of everyone calling everyone they dislike as Antifa is hilarious.

The protestors are anti-racism protestors. They are protesting against racism, so of course highlighting one of Churchill's flaws is relevant to the protest.

I am a big Churchill supporter, after all he was the earliest pro-EU voice and advocated for its creation, but do feel that his racism needs to be known and recognised.

You are trying too hard to shill for antifa. Why?

I really don't get the need for public flagellation.... don't they have people willing to whip them in private? Are they lost and lonely?

Thank you for clearing that up, added to the pathetic lost cause troll list. I hope you are so proud of this outstanding achievement.

You have failed relentlessly to back up any of your revisionist statements with a single iota of evidence.

That is why it is easy.

Your ideological views discount the mountains of evidence that is freely available, that is not clouded with any opinion, such as what Cray quoted, where the State of Texas cited slavery as its reason to succeed.

No amount of revisionism will ever erase those words.

Oh come on enough with the hagiography. Churchill was undoubtedly one of the great men of history and he did probably more than any single person to drive back the Nazis, but he also held views that were unequivocally vile and racist, even judged by the standards of his time.

The quicker you realise that people protesting against racism, is not Antifa, the quicker you will work towards a less divided society.

The problem is in a few days the virtue signalling will have worn off.
But....BUT, working in the houses of the people they oppressed for no pay seems a much better fit.

We have an explanation for the statue. This should settle the debate.

1. Statue Was No Angel—Why Was It In A Bad Neighborhood?
2. Statue Had A Troubled Past
3. Some Say Statue Had Links to Criminal Gang, Theft
4. Statue Moved Suddenly and Aggressively, Protesters Say
5. Statue Refused to Comply
6. Statue appeared to have a weapon in its pocket.
7. Look, I’d need to see the video of what happened before the incident, but I heard the statue was told to move because of the curfew and refused, so there’s that.

Reason 6 and 7 for me.

Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first drive mad.

Voltaire was an utter nutter yes but he had a good point or two.

The funny thing is this is how many of these protesters act like in a hall together.

There is no way whatsoever that possibly happened, this was a crew that did a job.


I'm saying that it seems like his mistake was restraining him the way he did and offered a plausable reason for it.

The taking him out of the car is also a separate action from the method used to restrain, there were clearly alternatives.

You are not comparing apples to apples here.

Mistake, of course yes. Both committed criminal acts, you excuse the one while condemning the other. There's a word for that, just can't get to it now..

I'd like to imagine a world where young minds, perhaps 20 or 30 of them at a time, could congregate is rooms... let's call them "classrooms" for argument's sake... and there, someone knowledgeable about the topic... let's call them "teachers" for argument's sake... could tell them about the history of slavery and it's impact on modern society.

You know, Instead of how we learn history now, from the record of our emotional responses to marble or copper slabs in the middle of traffic circles.

How about you?

We've seen how syllabuses get changed and other things completely banned...

Actually soothing.... when it comes to actual fighting these idiots are almost completely ineffective.

As soon as you get in a few hits they fall apart and melt away..... just like our own socialist mobs.

Also this is proof positive that's socialism is far more likely than race to induce intellectual inferiority.

I never claimed people protecting against racism is antifa. That's all you.

What the actual heck did I just watch!!

Is this the same country of people that tamed the West, that built railways, that built the modern day financial powerhouse that is the USA.

That is one sad group of people. And WHATEVER you do don't clap or whisper to a friend!!!!
