What Does Taking Down Statues Actually Achieve?

I would imagine Most black people in this Country never even gave these statues a second thought , But then our Progressive friends got involved ,TBH the statues Should be Removed , Will the Progressives then move on to the Thousands of Temples worshipping Another Slave
Trader who also believe in Child Marriage and Eunochs ?

It takes the heat of the decendents of these slave traders the ones that still benefit from their activities

It pisses off a lot of people who otherwise wouldnt have been remotely interested and sets back their "cause" a decade or more.

More specifically what is to be gained by the planned removal of Baden-Powell's statue from its plinth down in Dorset ?

Yet another diversion. Just nonsense

It clears the area of pigeons

In 50 years time will george floyds crimina

Criminal past be conveniently forgotten because he was killed by a nasty cop

well more people have been educated about the people on plinths in 5 days,than theres has been in the 100,s of years they've been up

There may wel be statues for a man who pushed a gun into a pregnant lady's stomach, you couldn't make it up

Will the people who got cecil Rhodes scholarships give them back in protest,  will black people leave the scouts in protest at baden Powell possibly being a nazi sympathiser,  will people who received knighthoods,obe,etc return them in protest to the British empire for possibly being involved in slavery.

I dont think so, these protesters who wreck statues are hypocrites and animals. Gonna return your iphone because it was made in asia possibly by slave workers

Don't forget the wee 11 year old sent down the mines in the DRC to get the Cobalt to run your iphone. No doubt that irony would have been missed on the people calling for King Leopold's 11 statue to be removed.

whataboutery,what if,think of something ridiculous and rant on,didnt see your protest,petition to get jimmy savilles statue put back up

obviously poster the time will come ....

Man who spouts about Dominic Cummings on 99% of the threads he posts on accusing other people of whataboutery.

world class scientists
world class n h s
and world class covid death figures

cummings is pm in all but name, I didn't go down a list og black footballers to find number 351 who disagreed with BLM and post his remarks all over social media,or put shakespear up against slave trader,s

Someday my plinth will come.

"Education is the only real way forward so as black people have the same chance as anyone else to attend school someone needs to take a hard look at what is going wrong from that point onwards."

They do.  The biggest educator in a child's life is their parents.

There are issues in public perception and self perception.  Clearly in football management  It doesn't help when African countries nearly always choose white Europeans or South Americans to manage their national teams.

education doesn't work because just like white kids all the black kids with rich parents send them private,in an ideal world instead of having one black student been taught at eton,you,d move the eton teacher to an inner city school and maybe teach a class with 50% black kids in it

We were due to remember the 75th anniversary of selfless heroes ........they would wonder why they bothered .

It's being used as an excuse by the hard left as they hate British history and culture.
Antifa are basically anarcho-communists.
The person behind the Bayden Powell removal campaign is a Corbynista failed Labour candidate.

"We were due to remember the 75th anniversary of selfless heroes ........they would wonder why they bothered. "

Sadly very true.

Hate is a very strong word.

the move to keep statues led by a 9 times failed ukip candidate nigel farage

statues glorify ...you don't actually need them ffs ...put them in a fooken museum   ...you wouldn't have a statue of Hitler . 

Now everyone is aware of their presence it aint gonna help matters keeping them there .. it will set back race relations further


as for inequality, there is no such thing ...it's all in the head 

if my life was taking a sh1t turn  i could 'blame' it on my colour if i was black .,but i can't as i am white ...so i just think hey ho and get on with life best i can ......

you have to remember life isn't equal  ...some Blacks need to realise this  ,most do ...an example would be  if you're a very attractive women you have a greater privelige in life than if you're an unattractive woman  in so many ways  ....if you're born with a high IQ you have a greater chance of success, same with rich parents ...it goes on and on ...where do you stop ?  you cannot suddenly change what is effectively nature    ... blacks have a superior advantage at most sport and sprinting  ....who determined that ? 

this is all stuff an 11 year old should understand , there is not much debate

as for anyone racist on here...have a word with yourself 

not sure if coachbuster no,s but he,s just described institutional racism

all people are marketable to different levels  black or white ...this race thing reading privelige is a nonsense  ,we don't come neatly packaged in a  box   ...but too many of the blacks who fail in life are using colour more often than not  ...what excuses are the failed whites using ? lol

Blacks with a good attitude generally do OK  and are well liked ...a bit like a White man equivalent

UK very much the country most blacks would want to live in imo  .... they themselves  say it's a good country  regarding race etc 

who is stirring the pot ?
