Le Tissier, Nicholas and Thompson have done one...

Quite correct. He was an African American entrepreneur that supplied the forces in WWII, so they can't be promoting things like that, obviously.

 

Yes, that should do it.

 

Well it worked well with the jam golliwog didn't it?

 

White blokes in every position of power: “Yes, this seems normal”

A tiny proportion of positions of power now not white blokes: “THIS IS AN OUTRAGE“

 

Do you think me mams collection of those will be worth anything these days?

 

I think Michael Johnson is the best athletics/Olympics pundit going. Intelligent, articulate and knowledgeable, he's got the t shirt and has competed successfully at the very highest level. When he speaks, you listen.

Now, about Micah......

 

I think not, it's never ending. Just watching a piece on the news now about that big rock in Australia. It was known as Ayres rock, to appease the aborigines it reverted to the name they called it Uluru. Then they weren't happy about people walking over their sacred site so that was banned. Which brings us to the news item today, Parks Australia has asked Google to remove images of the top of the sacred Indigenous site, Uluru, which allow users to virtually walk on its summit.

How about them removing the shrunken heads from the The Pitt River Museum in Oxford? Apparently this was negative and reinforced racial stereotypes. When questioned about some bloke justified it as apart from the racial angle the Museum had no right to display the heads as they didn't have the permission of the people whose heads they were.How you get permission from a decapitated person whose head had been shrunk was left unanswered.
More a case of don't show anything that reflects poorly on people. Unless they are British of course.

 

Before this thread heads where it looks like it's going can posters keep the rules of this board in mind before commenting.

Please take it as a given that as I've commented on the topic myself, I accept that any calls that I'm a hypocrite in posting this are correct.

Ta.

 

The 'big rock' was named Uluru by the original inhabitants of Australia, the aboriginals. Until we colonised the place in the 18th century the rock was never walked on due to being a sacred site, in fact - if Australia had never been colonised the rock would never have been walked on or had its name changed. Go figure?

 

If the Romans hadn't invaded this country would have been different. If the Spanish and Portugese hadn't colonised South America it would have been very different there. Etc, etc...

 

What did the Romans do for us?







Well whatever it was erase it all,

 

Anyone from Bath on this forum ?
Or Chelsea FC fans ?

 

Say what you like about Africans prior to Europeans' imperial endeavours on that continent, but they at least had permanent settlements and structured societies, monumental projects of civil engineering, fine metalwork, etc. The same can't be said of aborigines, who were literally the least advanced peoples in the world. The people Cook and his men encountered there were less advanced than Palaeolithic Europeans in 40,000 BC and it's no wonder they thought them merely part of the flora and fauna and showed absolute disregard for their big red rock

 

Was SydneyTigers podcast available in Oz back then ? Cookie podcast maybe ?

 

No, but you could still see Jason Donovan stalking Kylie

 

I must be out of the loop - unless it's Kylie the 'Roo ?

 

As it happens the shrunken heads have been removed from display. Also, you might be interested to know they are not human shrunken heads, they are sloth heads.

 

I know they have. I was asking, following on from daft things happening, how about them doing that.
Funny looking sloths. If they were why the fus from the politically correct bunch going on about reinforcing racial stereotypes. A race of sloths?

 

Hypocrite
