Looks like it's down with  the Liver Birds then.

Why?

I'm glad it's been taken down but at least it's served a useful purpose, which is to show what the BLM movement is actually all about. It's got nothing to do with racial equality or having a level playing field for everybody, it's about Black Power and Black Supremacy  and all the virtue signalling white people who support it are their own worst enemies.

I think we’ve got a winner for the daftest post on here and there’s been some stiff competition.

As Bristol was willing to take Colston's money that he made from the slave trade should we get rid of Bristol?

he also did a lot of good for the poor in Bristol and i am guessing that included the blacks when slavery ended??

The statue is called A Surge Of Power.

Jen Reid said herself that she was making the Black Power salute when she was originally on the plinth. Not a raised fist as a symbol of "solidarity and activism". She then went and was photographed over 200 times making the black power salute in order for the statue to be created.

 

You might not see it as an advocate of black power, but considering the title and the self confessed reasoning behind the positioning of the subject then to me it is. 

Is the notion of black people having power distressing to you?
