People are tripping over themselves to defend the statues of characters like Edward Colston suggesting that while he was openly racist he was still a Philanthropist but you don't hear anyone defending Jimmy Savile for being dirty old paedo just because he gave loads of money to charity? There is no place in our society for either! I (and many millions of white British & American people) have never and will never experience the sort of oppression that can only be appreciated by somebody of a minority background/race. WE cannot even begin to comprehend how demeaning it must feel to know there are people who genuinely believe you are worthless because you happen to have a different skin colour. WE should never attempt rationalise how that abuse must make it’s victims feel. [/quote] Post Options: Disable smileys? Turn BBCode off? Receive email notification of new replies?
