George Floyd R.I.P

Whose opened this can of worms

 

Didn't know they had but if it was a majority view i am in no position to argue the fact.

 

That's a fair comment.

 

It just seems like history is all of a sudden important to blacks?

That statue has been there for **** knows how many years....So why now?


Why not decades ago?

 

Honestly?
Would rather suck my eyeballs out through a straw than have sex with a nazi laughing ****wit.

 

There was a black guy the other day, who said he passed it every day and never knew it's history. I suppose it's a fair point, sometimes we just accept things that we see, but we don't question them. Interesting topic to be honest.

 

It was the same situation as here, mass demonstrations, it was vandalised and people demanding it was removed, so they’ve removed it. Have they expunged their history then?

 

Maybe society and what the public see as important changes over time.

 

There’s been demands that the Bristol statute should be removed for 30 years.

 

but people dont want that...

they all came on easy jet, and heathrow immigration was a walk thro

 

Demands unheard it seems..

So it turns into criminal damage, agreed?

 

Oh and why on the topic of statues and in the interests of moral decency, about time this lass put some clothes on...

I bet @Diego would shag it

 

OK

 

The history of what Leopold did in Congo is horrific. It was only when the British exposed what he was doing in his private African Kingdom that he was forced to give it up.

 

that reminds ne..Isn't there a big white horse carved into a hillside somewhere?

racist hill.

 

Demands blocked at every turn, the council even got blocked trying to put a second plaque on it detailing his part in the slave trade. Which sort of kills the history angle, as they literally got stopped from sharing it on the thing.

Yeah it was criminal damage dumping it in the sea.

 

I assume you know who that lady on the horse is, being up North

 

Because decades ago they would have been in trouble...now the momentum is with them to be able to do the right thing without the law being after them.

Plus the majority of the people pulling that statue down were white anyway so I guess the history is important to them too

 

Apparently there was a vote on it (not sure who voted, the public or the council, i only have Tobes input on this) but the keep won by 55-45%

 

glad we agree.. Criminals.
