The U.S.A.

Less, I am not falling into that trap, merely pointing out that he is blinkered in his views of what happened....if he deplores what went on with regard to the black slaves,(some three centuries ago), yet fails to recognise what went on within living history, then is he not hypocritical? Especially as he is going to earn money from working for an organisation that has done things that he finds objectionable when they were done to black tribal men and women.

I accept that we cannot change the past, we can only learn from it.
I am so fed up of hearing those who parrot on about BLM without having any real idea what they are protesting about.


If you asked those who toppled the statue of Edward Colston to tell you something about the man I would bet that all they would know is that he was a slave trader.

And your last paragraph is spot on.
Those who cannot succeed will find someone other than themselves to blame.
Those people who are truly deprived and oppressed, yet make a success of themselves, have my admiration....maybe they were in some way motivated by their disadvantage....they asked for nothing, but worked to get where they wanted to be.
 
there are black slaves being sold this year in Libya they are nigerians i have seen pics of em today, aint noticed B.L.M. nor Antifa protesting about that whats happening now, not a few hundred years ago or is it perhaps they aint protesting cos whites aint selling em?
 
Lock down making you a bit sensitive Margaret?
Although you are almost always in my thoughts when I post on AccyWeb (you are after all our most prolific poster and you built your Nursing career from a standing start of nothing),
I wasn't thinking of you when I wittered about falling into a trap,,,

... and try as I might to explain to whom I was aiming that at, would end up oddly racist no matter how I try to put it to all those Queens of Hearts out there so I won't bother, (maybe lock down is making me a bit sensitive too, but unlike the natives I don't feel restless).

Interesting, if lengthy article below, which concludes:

Globally, the region with the most slavery is Africa, with 0.76% of the population enslaved (GSI, 2018). However, political correctness dictates that it is acceptable to criticise whites, but not blacks, even if this means focussing on the past (about which we can do nothing), rather than the present and future (which we have the ability to change).

To conclude, BLM believe that the primary victims of discrimination are black women, when they are more likely to be lower ranked men. BLM apparently also believe that the primary perpetrator of violence against blacks is the state, when it is blacks. In other words, Black Lives Matter misidentify both the victims and the perpetrators. Which is a shame, because black lives matter.

Less Lockdown has not improved my patience or my irascibility, but make me sensitivie...no more than usual (but you may be asking the wrong person this question).
I did wonder if there was an underlying message...because there often is with your postings...sometimes what you DON'T say is far more interesting than what you do say....please take that in the spirit it is meant...that is a respectful one.
 
Less, you posed the question about my sensitivity levels.....and I said I thought they were no more than usual....and I still believe that is right.....however my tolerance levels have sunk to an all time low.

I looked at online media this morning and saw the story that poor dear Me-again Markle feels she was hung out to dry by the Palace.
She is moaning about her lot....again......oh dear, how sad, never mind....let's move on....she sooooo wants to be private!
 
Surely the FBI don't give credence to the media.
I thought they were capable of investigation....so that begs the question....who was paying them off...stopping them from getting the job done.
Or is that just me being a cynical baggage.
I can imagine that there are a few squeaky bums out there right now

I‘ve just re-read the transcript of Prince Andrew’s interview with the BBC’s Newsnight and he placed great store in being a very good friend not with Epstein but with Ms.Maxwell!
