    Good, so what's wrong with that?

    Nothing, always a good idea trying to erase and change the history :-)


    Want to throw a cat amongst the pigeons? Muhammed was a slave trader.

    So the toppling of the statue of Stalin in Hungry or Saddam in Iraq
    somehow re-wrote history?

    Historians shouldn't rely on what the plinth says for their books. :)

    Well I see your point I do however think this whole hype is going way
    over the top.
    Here on TV there was another black man whining about slavery and they
    did some
    research,guess what, his ancestors  belonged to a tribe that enslaved
    other blacks and sold them. Hilarious!
    Where do you want to draw the line, by women, because Eve eat the apple?

    Maybe start erecting Hitler statues then ?

    Removing statues changes nothing, it just means we don't want to
    celebrate the same parts of our history that we used to.

    Perhaps figures sorted by socio-economic status would be more

    When certain racial groups are kept at the 'bottom', many members of those groups tend to commit more crimes.
