Bomber Harris...An important part of our history, helped us win the war, but bombing civilians!!...A wreath on Nov 11 or into the drink with him?

Not easy is it?
Very easy, we were at War and we came together to fight a common enemy.

And again it’s another extreme example that fails.

Its attempting to judge history through todays eyes, we cant do that. It is being said that we cannot understand what racism is like if it's not being applied to us personally, surely we cannot truly understand what life was like for people in history if we have not lived it. History was brutal, life was brutal but we should understand it and learn from it, destroying monuments and burning books may be a symbolic show of protest but in reality what does it change.

As was the Abraham Lincoln statue in Parliament Square. Kind of highlights that the BLM campaign was nothing but an anti-capitalist protest for the work-shy.

Do you not think that the protest were high jacked by Antifa types or was all the wanton destruction by genuine protesters?

You’re second post sort of contradicts the first post, doesn’t it?

So was it a genuine protest that was highjacked or an anti-capitalist protest for the work shy?
