I wonder what President Donald ' Bunker Boy ' Trump thinks about this

good

if we keep this up we can completely erase any history of white peoples involvement in slavery

in generations to come there will be no evidence of slavery, our slate will be wiped clean and the blacks will have nothing to whine about

Probably will be Mandela, strange isn't it how someone's skin colour can distinguish how they are treated. Colston made his money from trading in slaves and maybe had a light bulb moment and left his ill gotten gains to Bristol City for good causes, he is now vilified. Mandel a was a terrorist who caused people to be killed indiscriminately by bombings, yet he saw the light and became an unofficial saint, weird.

he already has a statue bob

its quite a cheap and shitty looking one to be fair.

maybe mugabe can go up

or Idi Amin

or how about george floyd?? that will be good.

anyway im more than happy with this white washing of history, in a few generations no one will ever know whites were involved in slavery, hopefully blacks will forget it too.

not just any people

BLACK people

more blacks died at the hands of saint mandela duuring his campaign of terror than whites did, i guess there is a silent "some" before BLACK LIVES MATTER.
