When exactly are you going to find yours? The fact that I don't use your schoolyard level sort of replies, is proof enough that I have many more than just one brain cell. You are minus any braincell c2. Anyway I have far better things to do than feed trolls. |

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. No it doesn't. The race-baiting lying Labour supporters don't live in the real world and have to make up a load of BS because they have nothing else to offer. |

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. 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. You take clueless to another level. Britain was involved in the slave trade for a fraction of the time other countries and Empires were, yet Britain did more than anyone else to stamp it out. For 60 years the Royal Navy anti slavery squadron patrolled the shores of Africa stopping slave ships and escorting them to Sierra Leone where slaves were set free, which is why the capital of Sierra Leone is called Freetown. The Ottoman and Roman Empires lasted much longer than the British Empire and they both took millions of slaves, and he Romans didn't just take slaves they fed them to lions for entertainment. Mansa Musa the Emperor of the Mali Empire was said to be the richest man who ever lived and had thousands of slaves, he would march slave caravans to Arabia and sell African slaves to wealthy Arabs. For hundreds of years Barbary pirates raided settlements in southern England and took slaves, the Vikings did the same along the east coast and today slavery is just as widespread across Africa the Middle East and Asia as it was a thousand years ago. When are you outraged lefties going to demand reparations from countries who for thousands of years took English slaves? |

See2: "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."
The recent census confirmed there are more than twice as many sub-Saharan Africans in the UK now as there are Afro-Caribbeans. No Africans were ever enslaved in Africa by the British.
And then "much of the wealth" - do you have a source for this claim that has not already been debunked?

It's an annual thing.. An event some people look forward to every year.. I'm talking, of course, about "Moaning About Black History Month Month". Chin up, it'll soon be ''you can't even say Merry Christmas anymore'' season. |

Wally and no doubt your goodself will be cheered to see that the Premier League is taking the knee again already. A nice touch to fill the gap between BHM and the festive season. The fact that all on-screen personalities on Sky Sports are also donning 'Say No to Racism' badges only adds to the frisson of delight for all virtue signallers watching.

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? Apologies for being so blunt but bollox to black history month. It's nothing more than a woke fest for weak lefties who feel the need to weep and publicly flagellate in order to show everyone how virtuous, and indeed ignorant, they are. A pox on all of them. |

One must drop to their knee in support of an American organisation that offered their support to Hamas or one is wearing a racism badge. Madness.

Blacks can hold Black history month every month if they want .
Maybe they should ponder why, if Ancient Egyptians were black, Cheddar man was black, Africans invented many things and so many Africans had such influence then why were so many sub Saharan Africans the human beast of burden of choice to both the Europeans and Asians on either side of them.

Better than wearing ''yes to racism'' badges. The problem is through 'inclusivity' and positive action and many such programmes and the teaching of critical race theory the 'no to racism' badges are actualy yes to racism badges. It is just that the racism is now directed in a different direction. |

I love "they're trying to cancel Xmas" season, with all of its quaint old customs, like "you can't even find any cards with jesus on them" (easily proven false in seconds), "no-one's even ALLOWED to say Happy Xmas anymore" (pure nonsense, obviously), and the traditional (in America, at any rate..) "Starbucks cups AREN'T CHRISTMASSY ENOUGH!"
That said, Black History Month is rapidly catching up with Gammon traditions of its own, like "why can't we have a WHITE History Month?", "you know that Africans took part in the slave trade, don't you?" and the increasingly popular "of course, slavery wasn't such a bad life, you know"..
In the case of those who believe in some War On Christmas, I'd just say "look around you".
For the benefit of the puce-faced snowflakes who get agitated by BHM, I'd suggest reading a book.
