    I’m not sure this is quite the own that you think it is.

    ‘Our role in slavery wasn’t that bad, actually’ is a weird, weird hill to die on.

    I hope you've apologised for your part in the slave trade, and made a social media video documenting the event.

    I was about to. Slavery is shameful and Britain has it's own shame to bear, as do the majority of countries, races and cultures in world history. But then this thought struck me; In US and UK history, perhaps the leading role in slave abolishment played by white communities could also be part of the narrative? And then I wondered, if slavery is uppermost in the agenda of the BLM movement, and given that an estimated 660,000 black slaves currently exist TODAY in Africa, compared to the 388,000 black slaves shipped to America in the 400 years of transatlantic slave trading, maybe there could be a different focus being applied.....?

    Oops. Seems like brown people are racists as well. And theres over a billion of them. Funny how he's only just found out what this apparent Indian 'slur' means. Maybe the timing was just coincidence eh? Time to get on your knees and beg for forgiveness India.

    After searching through the replies it seems to be Kalu, which from I can gather is apparently a racial slur toward black people depending on which comments you read.

    An hour plus, but a very insightful watch. Brandon Tatum talking to the cultural factors within the US black community which impact upon black people, including the disintegration of the family unit. Exactly the sort of comments a white man couldn't really say in the US because it would be deemed racist. Ironic, no?

    I'm still waiting for the baying left wing mob who laid siege at the house of Dominic Cummings demanding his sacking for flouting lockdown rules, to come out and criticise the protesters for breaking social distancing rules and gatherings of over 6 people, instead all we hear is the praise for them. Double standards and hypocrisy, that they lambasted Cummings for

    'I saw you as brothers'. Based on race. And therefore excluding other racial groups on the basis of race. The irony.

    All sides are guilty of hypocrisy of the highest degree to a point where i switch off from whats happening. The Morgan Gardner scenario summed it up perfectly. Morgan berates one man for attending an event but then praises another for doing exactly the same thing.

    Heres another example of the fine work of Mr Morgan.



    The man is a cancer that needs eradicating. He's making a fortune out of this and yet offers nothing of substance to any debate.

    Highest paid golfer of all time, BAME
    Current F1 world champion, BAME
    Highest paid player in the NFL last year, BAME. Second highest player? BAME
    BAME % of the top ten highest paid players in the NBA? 100%
    Highest paid actor in the world last year? BAME
    BAME percentage of the 20 highest paid boxers in the world? 62%
    Most successful female tennis player ever BAME
    13% of the UK population is BAME:
    BAME % of the last England Rugby Union squad? 24%
    BAME % of the last England men's squad? 48%
    BAME % of Englands 2019 world cup cricket winning squad? 18%
    Captain of the World Rugby Union Champions? BAME
    BAME % of the top 10 highest paid athletes in the world last year? 40%
    Highest grossing Male recording artist last year? BAME
    BAME % of the top 10 earning musicians of the last decade, worldwide? 40%
    BAME% of the UK government cabinet? 17%
    BAME % of UK court judges 7.4% (a 5x increase from 20 years ago)
    BAME % of UK tribunal judges, 11%
    % of BAME and multi-racial district court judges in the US, 25%

    The narrative could be so much more uplifting, so much more empowering, so much more cognizant of the progress made on diversity, inclusion and equality during the last 20 years. Instead, the narrative is creating division, misrepresenting the facts, forcing a message of victimisation and blame that will only erode areas of society.

    I see the hypocrisy but I don't think it was exclusively a left wing mob criticising him. He got it from all angles.
