Historically they are the slave owners. People in the UK don't know that the Democrat party set up the KKK, defended slavery and pushed back against every major civil rights act in the US.

The political landscape has totally shifted since the days of slavery, so that claim is fairly disingenuous. It is impossible to connect Democrats of the days of slavery with what the party stands for now as it has completely shifted. Pushed back against every major civil rights act???? FDR enacted the new deal and multiple pro civil rights acts including EO8802 in 1941 which was designed to prohibit not hiring people based on skin color. JFK started and LBJ got the civil rights act passed in 1964. The most important civil rights legislation ever. I am all for open debate but what you said is completely inaccurate.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

With all due respect, danny boy, it not up to you, a white guy from Norwood (guess) to decide what a black guy feels in a Southern State when looking at a statue of a confederate war leader. The flying of confederate flags here has a very dangerous meaning for a lot of people. As for owing black people something from hundreds of years ago, I have work colleagues who remember segregation in the South from their childhoods.

It’s also not up to thousands of people living in Britain to decide how millions of Americans feel about their President.

This would seem to be actual real trouble in paradise: Democrat cities are falling apart.

Because you disagree? Let's see how Janet Mills works out for you. Then again like most virtue signalling lefties you choose to live in a state that's 95% white.

Show me some paradise in a democratic state which isn't primarily what I said. You are seriously over simplifying decades of complex and nuanced events. So people might vote based on thinking that the candidate they are voting for will make their lives better? Not exactly a groundbreaking concept there. Thats why people vote for one person or another. You generally dont vote for someone who will make your life worse, do you? Reminds me of Brexit.....
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Funny how they want to enjoy Britain now though from all the bad we did.

Are you saying that it is ironic that black people want to live in the UK today, given that there was slavery and ingrained racism against them a long time ago. On the same note it is ironic for black people in the States, to want to live in the States, given that there was racial segregation in the South as recently as 60 years ago? To top that off, you are saying that black people who want to live in the UK or the US dont have morals, because of that? Do I understand your position correctly?
