For example, we have met and I considered you to be a top lad. But you're an English football fan, should I have assumed you'd have been a knuckle-dragging hooligan? Of course not.

It's not a judgement on you though, it's a judgement on what society was like then.

Re: Black Lives Matter

So anyone got any definite suggestions on how we address the issue of racism here and now..apart from removing statues because I think we need to do far more to address the issue.

A meteor strike might do it, as long as nobody survives.

Anything less drastic than that won't work

Its also about educating people in a wider context about our history and not airbrushing parts out of it which are deeply inconvenient.

Yes, we should just do nothing, Or, how about we could revert back to 18th, 19th or even early 20th century practices? That would solve the issues.


Seriously, go and give your heard a shake.

Attempting to say that it will be the fault of people who are in your words 'to woke' if the situation deteriorates is a ridiculous statement.

Potentially, but only in response to an idiotic statement.
