Just seen part of our history being torn down in Bristol, ok, most of us have never heard of him, but it is our history. What next, Winston Churchill and Queens Victoria's statues being torn down.

This has overstepped the mark, and the black community will loose any sympathy we had for them.

Perhaps we should replace the statue in Bristol with one of Donald Trump.

It will more likely be Nelson Mandella.

Oh the terrorist guy who murdered a few people.
That one I'm sure would be fine because he was black. Doesnt matter what he did. Bit like grooming gangs so it wouldn't be a surprise.

I assume the statue was supposed to indicate that Edward Colston was a great man.

He enriched himself through the slave trade resulting in en masse manslaughter. But it was only 19,000 men, women and children on his watch.

How many other mass murderers would you think it appropriate to celebrate by a bronze memorial in pride of place?

Time to face up to history methinks by removing a nasty stain that we just kind of got used to.

You cannot erase history. It's where we came from. I'm not totally enamoured to Nelson's statue as he was involved and supported tons of deaths. Any chance on yanking that down.

Nah. Just stop celebrating slave traders.

And yes indeed, it is where we came from. This country was built on slavery. It just doesn’t make me proud.

BME english people are proud of being English the ones who are the majority I would guess. Proud of their roots but also of being english.
My roots are english and a bit of irish, I cant change that but am still proud of being English. Why should you not be a proud Englishman because someone says you cant due to history. Is it a real bane on your life that you go to confession or something. Seems like your knees are going to get really sore in the coming months.
Do you think blacks are going to force the odd whitey to kneel in a dark and quiet street going forwards. I can actually see that happening and would it be a crime? I can see only bad if that happens to me as I will end up nicked or dead tbh.
Please dont poo poo and laugh at that as one event proves my point.

Nah to Nelson's statue coming down or the fact he was a terrorist.

By that definition how many countries weren’t built on slavery?

You cannot erase history. History is constantly reinterpreted as it should be. It is wrong to celebrate such people. It wasn’t e.g. a war, simply paying people to enslave others and then shipping them in inhuman conditions such that many die.

Or perhaps we really shouldn’t let stuff like that bother us. How do you feel about modern slavery?

Yet black people want to still move here because of how great we made our selves.

We shoved white boys up chimneys, times have changed, it's called progress and we should remember our past for good and bad.

Really? Strange then how we abolished it 187 years ago....guess we kind of stopped building.

Hey, is Africa built on slavery because they didn't stop?
