Yes Fella, get that off.

demolish them! all the problems slave trading has caused for a few people to get rich.

Raze them to the ground?

What's the point in publishing this information? Why would anyone care?

All this kind of thing does is encourage idiots to commit vandalism.

Maybe officials from the villages could speak out about the bad past of the places and make minorities feel more welcome?

.. because of the preservation funding, I would reckon...the report would have been asked for and would have to be published and open to the public as The Department of Culture is funding £88.5 million ...

Why would anyone care?

Do we know they don't feel welcome?

Well the graffitti is one indicator.

No Way.

Its just our History
put a sign up,for your worry.

Yes there are Political troublemakers
searching everything,

Buildings should be preserved, a questionable history isn't an excuse to yank their funding.

...you asked why publish the information, what the point of it was, why anyone would care...:laugh:...because it’s being largely funded for its preservation, a report of allocation/spending etc has to exist and it has to be published, Oliver...

Fair, but why does the links with slavery even need to come into it? It makes no real difference at this point.

so Racists are spraying BLM on buildings?

That'd be rather condescending.

"Don't worry, black people, you are welcome here!!!"

It's pretty much implied that anyone is welcome anywhere these days, it doesn't need to be stated. If anyone made a big show of talking about the evils of past homophobia and how gays are welcome, that'd be the kind of weirdo I'd stay far away from...

...well, it might have some bearing and relevance in any protection of buildings as well as it would all be a part of preservation...?...and especially if any purposeful damage has been a thing....and any possible heightened local feelings in these locations/local social media...these things could all have had a bearing on how funding is allocated, so may have been mentioned in the report...we just don’t know, really...

Your solution is that Britain just continues to sweep its ties to slavery under the rug?

What's your solution then?

We're not America, the results of slavery aren't still felt today.

Exactly we need to name and shame all those people who got rich for a fast buck 300 years ago causing all these social problems we experience today.
Their families need to be stripped of their wealth.
And the money can go towards solving these problems.

have you seen the BLM protests? Of course the results of slavery are still being felt today.

No Armand


We put up Educational Sign's
for you to read.

Sure
they are all dead and gone

Their families still benefit from the wealth of their actions.

Like I said, we're not America.

People here protesting about police brutality abroad is a separate issue.

You can not stop that.


Its our British Empire History.

Lucky them. But at this point, no-one in the UK is worse of because a long forgotten ancestor was a slave.

Our history with slavery is just as brutal. we used to own all the slave transport contracts, for one.

It's complicated really because, let's face it, every mining village/town in the UK was also built off the back of exploitation... and that's a hell of a lot of them.

Hmmmm this is a complicated statement to make. Are people of ethnic minorities in the UK in absolute terms worse off today than they would be otherwise? Perhaps not, I'm sure there are arguments for it, bt it's questionable.

However... in relative terms? Yes, ethnic minorities (as well as working class and even middle class white folx) absolutely are comparatively worse off because of the slave trade... as there are still plenty of wealthy white people in the UK who gained vast portions of their wealth through the slave trade.

I wonder if you think "a few hundred years" is longer than it actually is? Like the era of slavery is "ancient" history? It's only a handful of generations.

Yes.


The British Empire was
worlds biggest power
it was a great time if you were British.

"We" weren't alive at the time, it was our ancestors.

Yes we used to run America

We must acknowledge our past fully, not try to sweep it under the rug because it's unpleasant. It's certainly not the place of white people to tell others whether or not they should simply move on.

We as a country profited from the Slave Trade and the empire left the world in a worse state than it was before it was a thing. Acting annoyed because you can't handle the dark parts of your own history is just the height of immaturity. The arrogance of this country is a constant source of irritation for me, we're think we're perfect, beyond blame, but we're not. Our history is vile and telling people to get over it instead of accepting that, for many people, we were the bad guys is just gross.

We can't look down on America and go 'This isn't America' because we helped the slave trade grow, it's as much a stain on our history as it is America's.

"We must acknowledge our past fully"



Yes Educational Big Sign
outside at the start of the Great Villages.


OK Dezzy.

isnt this what schools and history classes are for?

i wonder how many of the keyboard outrage warriors actually listened in History instead of dicking about?

lol

Yes
But lets keep folks like Dezzy
happy, with a Big sign
outside the villages

Our history lessons don't really teach these subjects in depth. Ask most British people what they actually learned about the slave trade, and they will basically tell you that Wilberforce saved them all and little else.

I have made a sign that can be used
