They are, we are, and no one can stop us, so what's your beef? So when we mention Churchill we get shot down in flames because he was a racist.
in fact any English/British establishment are accused of being racists and slave traders, which would make it most of our British Empire.
I don't "get shot down", neither do you. There may be some extremists who will disagree with you over Churchill, but to assume that all Black people or even most black people are concerned over Churchill is all in your mind, it is again an assumption you would be unable to prove. Churchill is not the be all or end all of the UK history in the Slave Trade. You would need to explain your second line. |

'Superior species'? They are still looking to be given equal opportunities in this country. I think you mean 'preferential' treatment, don't you? No, I posted the truth based on a number of facts that have been posted on this forum. |

LOL - more culture wars from Labour... So what would a "Racial Equality Act" entail? What would count as "structural racial inequalities"? Will there be an enforcement mechanism? If so, what would such an enforcement mechanism look like? What consequences would one face were they found to be practicing "structural racial inequality"? Would such "structural racial inequality" include the white working class? If not, why not? - and why, just a year from the next election, don't Labour have any answers to these questions? I can only assume that Labour really don't want to win the next GE. No, you didn't assume anything, your rightist mind clicked in and you thought 'how can I add to the detriment of Labour'. That's my conclusion based upon your previous posts. |

I believe about a million black people faught in WW2, in the US armed forces. And yes, to a much lesser extent black people were also in the British armed forces during WW2. After the war people from the Caribbean, the so called Windrush generation, came to this country of their own volition because we needed labour and they lived in poverty and wanted to improve their lot, which most of them did. I fail to see why that justifies a 'black history month'. For the vast majority of us remembrance is one day a year. And lets not forget 2½ million Indians from the British Raj who made a far greater contribution during WW2, yet we don't have an Indian history month shoved down our throats every year. Perhaps you think we should. Apart from the good that Black people have directly done for this country, the UK still owes Black people some respect for the horrors of the slave trade that we were involved up to our necks in. Don't talk utter bollox. That is absolutely typical of the naive crap ignorant outraged lefties always come out with. You know absolutely nothing about slavery which incidentally has thrived on this rock for the past two million years, ever since homo erectus could stand upright. Educate yourself. |

Black History Month is something which NATURALLY outrages the populist Right, because it highlights a deficiency in history whereby black people ( and Asians ) have been overlooked and passed by.
It upsets their xenophobic, prejudiced little minds that we pay any attention to minorities, who for many decades were overlooked or forgotten about.
Its about recognising that we have come a long way, whilst at the same time accepting that Britain was a very prejudiced country. Its about celebrating the fact that, at last, in the 21st century we finally got our very first black AND Asian high court judges.
Its about celebrating the progress we have made from the 1950s and 1960s, the Bristol Bus Boycott, the Notting Hill Riots and the gang beatings of black people, to a situation where black people are now government ministers, MPs, news readers, celebrities and famous people.
Its about a sense of satisfaction - that we will never go backwards to the bad old days, its abour celebrating that we can be a land of opportunity for everyone.
But - some people dont get it

Well as Black History Month is dedicated to those who were affected by the transatlantic slave trade then a worthwhile commemoration would be the 17,000 seamen (of all colours) that the Royal Navy lost whilst putting a stop to that trade. HMS Pickle capturing the slave ship Voladora..  |

I was actually listening to what some black people were saying were good reads by black authors earlier, they seemed on the whole fairly good reads.

But - some people dont get it I'd save your preaching for these Black areas, where gun and knife crime is their only culture.
Tower Hamlets and Hackney are frequently cited as two of the roughest part of London, especially for knife crime.
In addition to Newham, Enfield, Haringey, Croydon, and Lewisham, Newham, Enfield, and Haringey also have elevated crime rates.

You know absolutely nothing about slavery which incidentally has thrived on this rock for the past two million years, ever since homo erectus could stand upright. Educate yourself. I don't but you do at times. Your crap is not only naive it is completely OTT bias. Try imagining that you are a black person knowing that there is a well documents history of your ancestors being butchered, raped, beaten and abused in many different ways, forced into slave labour and poverty, treated as, and thought of as, a totally inferior species. and that much of the wealth in this country was made on the back of that abuse. Then tell me you would just simply dismiss it all and shrug your shoulders as if it had never happened at a time when you yourself has been or is being treated to racism at some level. You just might find enough space to reconsider your position to some degree. |

HMS Pickle capturing the slave ship Voladora.. Proving just how wrong the UK had been previously? Thankfully not all people are racist. Although its a bitter pill to swallow, not all UK anti slavery was about freeing slaves, part of it was surely about denying the Americans easy access to Black slaves. |
