Seems to me that this tread has deteriorated into one about history, historical myths, historical grievances and who did what to whom and when. Its all complete nonsense. Its dead. It doesnt matter any longer and it certainly should not influence our lives now. History is bunk.
We have a choice between two extremes. Either we can integrate our society to the point where skin colour and racial history doesnt matter and isnt even thought of or we can ghetto-ise our society as the Yanks have done so that we have a form of apartheid with communities of African Brits and Indian Brits and Godknowswhat brits all living in seperate hostile communities. I know which I would prefer and so in my view racists events which emphasise difference like Black History Month should be criminalised every bit as much as the use of the N word or "Blacks not welcome" signs that I used to see in my youth.
Whatever you think about the wisdom of allowing it to happen, we have huge numbers of people of non white european ethnicity living in the UK. If we dont assimilate them then we are in for endless trouble.
