Or they were put under pressure to get rid of the non-White characters by the dirty tactics brigade.

Hold up.. if there is a stereotypical image of a Jewish person are you the only person able to take exception to it?
Is is a brand new concept for anyone to want to move away from imagery that may cause offence?

If you can't tell the difference between Levi Roots and uncle Ben there's no helping you :laugh:

Everytime I turn a football.or rugby Match on the telly, they're always preaching about highlighting and kicking racism in all it's forms out.

But when you highlight some then people come out in defence of it.

No, but I am the only person likely to take exception to it. The woke, it seems, haven't got around to anti-Semitism yet.

Nope he was born a slave but became the first ever African American to achieve a masters it was in agricultural science. Bit more impressive than Mr sun pat...don't you think?

I didn't think you were here for discussion, just the usual jibes. You can bore off.

I beg to differ.. ousting people from their homes, stealing their land money and propertyforcing them to live in shanty towns. That's antisemitism.

They're both partying on the Mary Celeste with Lord Lucan and Michael Jackson, planning which black person to erase or whitewash next.

Let me get this straight - you think that removing these images, is racism done by white people?

Also, you misattributed godwins law yesterday, so maybe fallacies aren't as easy for folks to grasp as you're telling Kizzy.

Not in general, just the cabal of Aunt Bessie, Captain Birdseye, Lord Lucan, and Michael Jackson.
