Really? What family stories does anyone have handed down from seven generations ago? Do you honestly believe that there are thousands of people so historically knowledgeable that they are psychologically affected by the past?
Conditions in most industries in this country, mills, mines, farming, etc were shocking so why isn’t everybody equally psychologically affected?

I think he gave the example of the Jews to show that stories of a terrible past aren't an excuse for negative realities later on in history. Jews have undoubtedly been psychologically affected but on average they continue to achieve far above the average and thrive within western societies.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

Your last word? I doubt it.

You said 'I am merely pointing out that those who use the two terms do so for different motivations'.

How do you know what people think? That is your arrogance talking.

You are taking two stereotypes and assuming everyone is the same.

Do you not see your own prejudice at work here?

You are enabling racism by perpetuating a myth.
Black people do not require 'pride' any more or less than anyone else. If they need anything it is to cast off the victim status that you liberals want to bestow on them like it or not.

I am all for education for everyone but celebrities and their followers don't arf talk a load of sh*te. A summary of her film.

"It is a celebration of black American culture with education, specifically Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), serving as the foundation of her message.

In the film, Beyoncé describes how she always wanted to attend an HBCU, but Destiny's Child and the trials and tribulations of celebrity instead became her higher education. (Code for too busy earning a shed load of money and why not).

"She did not attend an HBCU, but she has learned from and mimicked the culture that's present at HBCUs," said Dawn Williams, the Dean of Howard University's School of Education. (What does that mean you got a degree without attending?)

I know I am being picky but this Dawn Williams is talking nonsense. Why not say she didn't need to go because she was too busy eaning millions but she supports people who do want to go.

One more point

What a dirty *hit this man is.
The man who opened the doors to mass immigration has the cheek to state the bleeding obvious whilst normal people get shouted down as racist for these exact views [Link]

Translation: The 'far right' (That's code for not members of the left wing hive mind) were right all along.

This is called stealing the fire.

Blair and everyone else knows that concerns about immigration are perfectly well founded but like all scumbag politicians, Blair puts defeating his political enemies first.
