You are truly deluded aos, i am following no one, i have my own opinions and if they are similar or the same as others and not yours then thats how it is, get over it
Oh and bully for you for doing your bit ,if it is to be believed, being gracious enough to employ some unfortunate ethnic minorities, i am sure they were grateful for your gesture especially the "poles", that word itself is derogatory by the way
I am tired of this now, please keep your opinions to yourself in future and i will do the same with you

Back at you...please explain my delusion i'd be very interested to know.

Don't be stupid i've employed many poles...short for polish...you know brits short for british...only in your imagination is it derogatory....and as for doing my bit everyone i employed because they were the best person for the job simple as that colour and ethnicity played no part.
I am tired of this now, please keep your opinions to yourself in future and i will do the same with you

Of course you are but you'll be fine when GK and the others start attacking me for defending blacks.

AOS, i am convinced you have mental problems, always on the defensive while stating you are in the right, paranoid about being attacked
Cant you see you bring it on yourself ?
I post on here to express my opinions as you do, ok , we dont agree , why not leave it at that, i didnt want to resort to a slanging match, but you seem to bring out the worst in people
This is why i didnt want to speak to you direct, i see this happens with other posters all the time, and you always want the last word, which i will let you have, i have other more important things to do

Why?..because i dislike rascism?always on the defensive while stating you are in the right, paranoid about being attacked
Cant you see you bring it on yourself ?
By having differing opinions?
I post on here to express my opinions as you do, ok , we dont agree , why not leave it at that,
Happy to but you aligned yourself with GK and the other merchant whos name eludes me.i didnt want to resort to a slanging match, but you seem to bring out the worst in people
You and your like are more than capable of doing that on your own,i just happen to disagree with racists and bullies.
This is why i didnt want to speak to you direct, i see this happens with other posters all the time, and you always want the last word, which i will let you have, i have other more important things to do

Don't take anything AoS says to you personally.
Most of us have been at the receiving end of his nonsensical rantings .
If we were to put AoS in the same class as a Jack Russell Terrier...the Jacky would be leader of the gang - much smarter
He keeps quoting a post I made elsewhere, some years ago .
If you remember, the immigrants at Calais had been moved from the "jungle" , to brand new portocabins accommodation.
The immigrants , started trashing the portocabins, and setting fire to them .
I suggested, at the time "dropping a bomb" on the ungrateful twats .
AoS , in his intimate wisdom , turned that comment into me wanting to bomb children.
That in itself shows he has the IQ of a gooseberry.
The "children" I was referring to , were between 25 - 40 years of age , on average, and most had beards.

It feels like grounding day , when you always bring up the Calais comment, AoS.
I watched the destruction of the portocabins on the news.
There wasn't any children partaking in this act of violence .
Did you see any ???

No they were all hiding in quickly erected Anderson shelters.

I wondered how long it would be before the middle aged expats came out bitching whats going on isn't just about 1 mans death on the streets and due to technology is there for the world to see this has been going on for 100s of years the world hasn't gone mad...the world has been mad for centuries allowing this to continue unabated,you can go back to the slavers,you can go back to the days of Dr Martin luther king and Malcolm x,the windrush scandal,the KKK murders deaths in custody at the hands of the police in the USA it cannot be ignored any longer.

Missing from this debate is the question of who sold the slaves in the first place. Using that modern invention called Google I found some interesting articles which show that it wasn't just the nasty white folks that engaged in selling slaves. I think people with open minds might find the following quite enlightening:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/afri ... ter2.shtml

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/ ... lave-trade

https://www.wsj.com/articles/when-the-s ... 1568991595

https://www.newyorker.com/culture/perso ... ave-trader

In 1807, Britain declared all slave trading illegal. The king of Bonny (in what is now the Nigerian delta) was dismayed at the conclusion of the practice "We think this trade must go on. That is the verdict of our oracle and the priests. They say that your country, however great, can never stop a trade ordained by God himself."

All lives matter.

Errrr...may I join this debate...?

I feel what is needed is an unbiased view, a sense of fairness, a clear understanding of human values,and a hatred of the ""labellers", particularly those that chant " racist" at every bleeding opportunity!

And a sense of humour..." Black lives matter, of course,..when one is short of labour for our NHS, or bus drivers"...
That was a joke, in my usual poor taste...

And who would disagree that Al Jolson was the best black singer ever....?
Some of my best friends are Black (edited), but of course they do not expect to marry my daughters, nor do I ask it of them...
They regard me as the white person (edited) who doesn't like ganja and sticks to just the one Chick...a fool, but just uncool...

They know they are different to the whites, but are better off living with the whites...they like to do things their way, and if Whitey can be shamed enough..why, life for them can get even better....

Maybe...but do not trash our History, Black people..If you had one, we might trash yours....that would be Equality, my friends....
