I think you'll find rule of thumb is that if you are offended at any criticism against a race, then you will be ok. If you have an opinion that differs, then you are at best ignorant, or worst a racist, xenophobe etc .

don't miss out the main one Dumb f***wit

Well it took a long time to move on, independence, Northern Ireland, the troubles, the bombings, the shootings, hunger strikes, the peace talks, marches, recognition of sinn fein etc etc so from what you say in about 150 years no one will use the term coloured I guess

Yep, i wonder if in 150 years time people will be blaming things on what happened in 2015.......no doubt some will still blame it on what happened in the 1840's.
The Germans are in for the long haul then.

This was 1846 to 1852. I think we have moved on since then. I wonder how far back we will keep going to point out our bad past whilst taking our eye off the ball with what is happening now.
spot on we should not and never should have to apologise for the past, for slavery etc etc in the same way the krauts should not have to apologise for hitler.
we should in no way be held accountable for past doings... it would do us good to remember that..

The mind boggles. Really? Wind up merchant. Shame it's bordering on racist and anti Semitic, lends the whole thing a rather unpleasant edge.

Signs reading "No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs" were a familiar sight on establishment doors as recently as the 1970's.

Ignoramus.

Well i suppose it is the way by some to divert what is happening now by saying....yeah, but but but, look at our record from centuries ago......
We were no angels, we took part in nasty deeds but i was not alive then. I think we have moved on since 1840, to blame what is happening now on centuries ago is a kop out imo.

You got it! See wasn't that difficult - for as long as people have a living memory you will keep getting this crap then when they die out and people stop using phrases mean't to control, offend and subjugate their fellow men its forgotten.

Thats unless you thought mankind generally did forgiveness and rationality ???

The Holocaust and slavery will not be forgotten. In fact more people are aware of it's legacy than ever before and that will only grow. Just because it didn't directly affect you, don't think others will forget it.

Shockingly narrow minds on this board of late.

Who's blaming?
 


you reckon we should then.

This is a direct quote from Angela Merkel's speech to the Isreali Knesset in about 2008.
Do you think she is wrong to say this ?

Merkel said, “The mass murder of 6 million Jews, carried out in the name of Germany, has brought indescribable suffering to the Jewish people, Europe and the entire world.” She said Germans were “filled with shame” over the Nazi Holocaust.

This is a copy and paste of your previous post.
"spot on we should not and never should have to apologise for the past, for slavery etc etc in the same way the krauts should not have to apologise for hitler.
we should in no way be held accountable for past doings... it would do us good to remember that.."

Do you think you were wrong to say this ?

I don't understand some of the viewpoints on here. I doubt very much the likes of Soulman and BF are particularly well read when it comes to history. You would have to be a particularly psychologically damaged / retarded person to read some chapters in history and not feel emotive, let alone read it and believe something like the holocaust or slavery should just be swept under the carpet. Entire bloodlines were wiped off the face of the earth That or they simply have not the capacity to understand what they are reading.

Wind up merchants the lot of 'em.

Stupid little child. And well you know it was that bad, millions were starving to death. Would you say they didn't or that they deserved it. Was it that bad for the Jews? Could they have helped themselves? Really, if you actually believe the vile crap you spout you are a sick , sick individual. I'm glad I don't know you and frankly I pity anyone who does. I would be thoroughly ashamed if I'd raised as vile a child as yourself , your mother should hang her head.
