Maybe we don’t celebrate slavers and do more to acknowledge their role in slavery? See how it spreads with your mention of Liverpool, all guilty by association?

alchresearch Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Liverpool is having its own problems. Good old Penny Lane sat quietly in the suburbs until BLM. Then the sign gets vandalised. I wonder how many are suddenly offended because the populous decrees so .

People don't gather round them once a year and celebrate their anniversary. Edited July 16, 2020 by alchresearch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These statues are hardly new. People don't gather round them once a year and celebrate their anniversary. They were celebrated otherwise we wouldn’t have statues of them. As I said earlier, we’ve been replacing stuff that’s not been in favour for what ever reason since the year dot, there wasn’t all this nonsense when Michael Jackson’s statue got binned from outside Fulham. If I could be arsed I’m sure I could find lots of examples of statues being removed, names being changed. The Windsor family being the obvious one! Penny lane was done by idiots. Lots of street signs are defaced by idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffbag Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 3 hours ago, Lex Luthor said: Wow. I don't think you can compare Jen to a Nazi, really! I didn't see a statue of an advocate of Black Power, just a statue of an activist celebrating a much-needed and overdue positive change brought about by people, black and white, coming together. The raised fist is a symbol of solidarity and activism, used by people of all ethnicities around the world. 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.

despritdan Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
