But black people are constantly told to think racially, so as to keep the constant
dissent going.
I like reading Thomas Sowell's articles - a black man who has refused to be
pigeon-holed by the grievance brigade.

Should we erase all history that offends modern views?
Re: Should we erase all history that offends modern views?
A healthy society does not destroy its monuments just because they do not suit modern views.
Otherwise, where does it all end?
Do some groups also believe that all Queen Victoria statues should be removed since she presided over a time when the potato famine wiped out huge numbers of Irish people?
Queen Victoria became the monarch in 1837, four years after parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act.

All these current actions and campaigns defy logic - but the 'campaigners' have the
establishment on the run... WHY??? Crazy - we have a government who
are terrified of bad press and because they are (technically) on the right of politics
they will ALWAYS have a bad press - so why bother with the propaganda stories from
the MSM ?

Any instances of police brutality or racism need to be opposed, and the peaceful protesters who have done so deserve public support.
Such campaigns are inevitably undermined when they are hijacked by ideological groups with other agendas or those who resort to vandalism or violence.
Our failure to instil critical thinking in our educational systems has led to many of the problems we face in today’s society.
We are right to be concerned when mobs are able to decide which historical monuments should be destroyed through force of intimidation.
