    Whilst the flag of St George is being pulled down for being antagonistic.

    Nice work if you can get it . A real little cottage industry :emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash:

    Can't see the problem, or why this is something to laugh at.
    It's not our history (as white people). But does that mean it has no worth?

    Also don't see what the Flag of St. George has to do with this.
    Is the English flag not for black people as well?

    Am not tying the flag to the colour of skin, solely because of us not being able to advertise ourselves.

    It’s a massive grift industry.

    Remembering the Slave trade?
    Celebrating the support given and sacrifices made by the Colonies during WW2?
    Honouring The men and women who came to help Britain back onto it's feet during the 1950's, and the reception they got from large parts of the population? And the fact that many of them still aren't recognised as British citizens.

    A grift industry.
    We're going to have to agree to disagree on this matter.

    I still fail to see what advertising Englishness has to do with that photo, or Black History month.
    Unless black people highlighting their history is anti-English.
    But that can't be the case, if the flag is not tied to the colour of people's skin.

    I think the point is why have a Black History month.

    Why not have one?
    Black history has been ignored or downplayed for generations.
    How can bringing knowledge of the past to people be a bad thing?

    A lot of it is uncomfortable. Maybe many of us would prefer it was quietly forgotten.
    But that's when the injustices of history repeat themselves. Once painful lessons from the past are forgotten.
