Several other US Presidents owned slaves too one of the sillyest phrases i`ve ever heard, was a historical fact about a wealthy land owner who gave cambridge university a bell, that was from the profits of slavery. the university stated it was from "coerced labour" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris B123 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 5 hours ago, WalkedUp said: The Bristol police made a good call, they showed the violence of the protestors, the vandalism of the protestors whilst keeping restrained. If the police had have reacted how I would have wanted them to react the front pages would have been about police heavy handedness or brutality. The violence of the protestors is counterproductive to their goal. Next protest the protest organisers need to keep control and take responsibility, no violence no vandalism. There is no moral ground over breaking the lockdown, the stupidity of our leaders has ensured that it is morally down to individual discretion. Quite agree, but what should happen now is the video footage used to identify all the people causing criminal damage and being prosecuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youre a slave owner then ? How hypocritical ! Boycott the products then, and cleanse your soul, next time you pick up a child slave made item, read the label.

Gordon R Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 Burnley Dave is / was such a legend that it seems churlish to restrict his name to an annual event. Posts of special merit could be considered for an ad hoc award. Tightchoke - I have to reserve judgement - Burnley Dave was a true legend and clangerman has some way to go, although he is making stellar progress.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuartyboy Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 I’ve often wondered that if there is an issue of racism within a police force in any country, are the officers racist before joining or does their experiences at work change their views on race and then they become racist?

Vince Green Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 There have been a lot of white slaves, pressed sailors on Royal Naval ships, agricultural workers, even on the plantations where the black slaves worked there were the rednecks, Irish and Scots mostly, who weren't paid but worked for bed and board because they had no option, take it or starve. Poverty was as much a form of slavery as any other, it wasn't so cushy being white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoBodyImportant Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 5 hours ago, henry d said: How about picking one of these instead; Justin Howell, Sean Monterrosa, Jamel Floyd, Jamar Clark, Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor or even Ahmaud Arbery? Well Arbery was killed by neighbors after he was caught breaking into a neighbors house. He was shot when he attacked the guy who wanted to ask him questions about why he was in his neighbors house. Eric Garner was breaking the law and fought the police. With Michel brown all evidence backs up the police officers account of being on his back with Brown on top of him when he shot. The blood splatter in the car completely ruling out that he standing in the street with his hands up. And the fact he walked into the store on camera and violently robbed the store 7 minutes earlier shows he was a violent person. Tamir rice pointed a BB pistol at a police officer. Sad tragedy but it’s hard to tell the difference between the a real pistol and a BB gun. Travon Martin got caught breaking into cars by a private citizen and the attached the citizen when confronted. He had a hammer and crow bar in his bag that his family said he “carried for protection”. Those are some glaring examples I see wrong on the list. I know one I was upset about was John Crawford. He was a black man that was holding a BB gun in Walmart. He was on his phone asking his baby’s momma if he could buy it for their son. A anti gunner saw it and called the police and said the guy was walking around pointing it at people. He wasn’t as shown on the store cameras. The police came around the corner and shot him without telling him to drop the gun or nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
