    Over lack of facilities with all these statues going down.:p

    Although this statue thing is getting fking daft now, petitions to take down the ones of Francis Drake and CaptainCooke!
    Both great significant figures in our history, not massively associated with slavery other than that typical of the times, which as I mentioned elsewhere was rife amongst different nationalities.
    Thing is where do you stop.

    You could certainly add more informative description to the statues.

    I do however think focus should be in eradicating racism in the here and now, to actually listening to black people 8n what can be done in their daily lives to overcome difficulties. And hopefully that spirit of listening will extend into society as a whole and there'll be more tolerance and acceptance.

    You know, I don't think I could find anything that you post which I'd disagree on.
