Look Jonny we'll never agree on this subject. Without slavery would the blacks have evolved so quickly. I don't condone slavery because it's actually caused more trouble. Lincoln should have repatriated those free slaves back to where they were taken from. You wouldn't be getting the same **** now from those 2nd 3rd generations if he had.
Given the Irish experiences (note the plural, in U.K. and USA), I’m surprised that you don’t recognize and support the plight of others. I don’t agree with the film being pulled but I can understand why. It was pulled from HBO by the way.
WOW!!! I have no words to respond to that without being highly critical so will exercise self-restraint.
If you’re interested in learning more about this and why the returning plan wasn’t that simple, I recommend you watch the movie Amistad. There is plenty of blame to go around but what was, was. Now got to deal with what is.
It's a dangerous state of affairs when you start banning films because a certain community are that sensitive. Ban the rappers music that have homophobic lyrics, racist and sexist lyrics, songs that condone shooting police etc etc. black live matter my arse. ****ing hypocrites.
When we start lowering our expectations of law enforcement to that of criminals, we are in big trouble. I will just leave it at that. The tone starts at the top. If we condone criminal behavior by law enforcement what kind of environment are we creating?
Its being reported as a done deal in South America., but obviously transfer window is not open yet...
The police go out and do a dangerous job, there are good and bad in most areas of life. I could be wrong, but those blacks who are rioting and looting are uneducated, out of work and would rather pimp out their women, sell and do drugs that actually do a days work. IMO
It seems idiotic to me to ban a film if you don't like it don't go.I have no problem with statues being removed what was accepted years ago may now seen to be wrong. Don't be so pessimistic Shaks
No not because you recommended it, just because Hollywood is full of lefties and a lot of the films are biased.
Critical of what? Perhaps i should ignore facts then and practise positive discrimination and look where that got this country.
I can't help it WC, it's been annoying me for weeks. It's on Sky Sports, Sky News, Good morning etc etc. I'm not actually political myself, although you wouldn't think so. I've no problems with statues being taken down, but why for example is it ok to take confed memorials down and not union or political blacks memorials. Also do it democratically and don't let this anarchists get away with breaking the law.
Apologies to all my fellow NotLeeds Utd members for turning this into a political thread. I will try and comment on the politics thread, rather that the days football thread.
