That's the superior white bit then? You've just proved Mech's point.

My pointing out that the Scots have been and forever will be top of the British class is not a comment on white supremacy. It's just a fact.

You'll get over it. I know mech already has. He's just busying himself going through the motions.

Christopher Columbus, individual Leopold II, Winston Churchill, Edward Colston, Cecil Rhodes and the list goes on. Where will the toppling and defacing of the statues of racist historical figures end?

These past figures, an explorer, a individual and leaders are now branded as ‘racist’, a disgrace which doesn’t deserve a place of pride in public in the United States, United Kingdom and Belgium. They are the latest targets of anti-racist Black Lives Matter movement. People are not content with condemning cops and current political leaders. They are going all the way to purge past figures and rewrite history.

Where do we draw the line amidst the growing list of the famous turning into the racist infamous? Being a slave trader as Colton was seems sufficient but what about mere historical figures who were racially prejudiced or kept black slaves in their time? How far should people go?

Think of Thomas Jefferson, for example. The principal author of the American Declaration of Independence and the third President of the United States is a slave owner – 600 African American slaves we are told.

This despite the famous phrase “all men are created equal” penned by Jefferson himself in the declaration in 1776. It was obviously hypocritical since he owned half a thousand black slaves. So should all his statues be toppled and removed or thrown down the river as well?

Shall we start with the demolition of Jefferson Memorial and its 4,500 kilogram bronze statue in Washington DC?
