Mr Ixer'Whatever the variances in academic analyses of slavery and views on those, perhaps we shouldn't forget that the tentacles of slavery's aftermath have stretched into the 20th and 21st centuries''Perhaps consider current day racial prejudice as residual low level slavery background aftermath in the same way scientists consider the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation as the aftermath of the Big Bang event ...'Your first quote is purely supposition and does not refute a new and current thinking about slavery from 'Nigel John Biggar, Baron Biggar a British Anglican priest, theologian, ethicist, and life peer. From 2007 to 2022, he was Regius Professor of Moral and Pastoral Theology at the University of Oxford.Why on earth do you resort to displaying some presumed knowledge of science to try to persuade that the white-British social group is racist ?And why is it you have to delve back 60+ years to find evidence to try to back up your claim ?'until 1966 there was whites only policy for UK railway guards an example of general common discrimination against those immigrants''Segregation in some US states was only banned after the Civil Rights Act of 1964.'It's history and most slavery carried out today is by -1. India - 11,050,0002. China - 5,771,0003. North Korea - 2,696,0004. Pakistan - 2,349,0005. Russia - 1,899,0006. Indonesia - 1,833,0007. Nigeria - 1,611,0008. Turkey - 1,320,00010. United States - 1,091,000 (Migrant workers, especially those without legal status, are often exploited in agriculture, construction, and domestic work though Trump seems to have closed down the inward route over the Mexico/US border).Times move on and peoples attitudes change.But not yours I feel.'and sadly racist views still appear be prevalent with some MAGA supporters visiting our country ...'This is a specious if not devious for there is no evidence to show that the incident to which you allude was more than a social clash in a crowded London street nor to prove who did what and what was said.Though to you of course it is a chance to display your TDS and despising of the US President.'Then, of course, there's the more recent Black Lives Matter movement'.This organisation does not seem to be squeaky clean if these reports from the Washington Post are correct -"One week after national outlets reported that the Justice Department had opened a fraud investigation into the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, the organization announced Friday that it had severed ties with longtime strategist and board member Shalomyah Bowers, citing a “leadership transition.”The move sharpened scrutiny of the organisation's finances and governance just as federal authorities examined if tens of millions of dollars raised in 2020 were misused according to legal experts and non-profit researchers who have tracked the organisations scandals".Moving on did you know -'A study conducted by the Policy Institute of King’s College London investigated countries’ levels of racism, finding the UK amongst the least racist countries overall.The analysis, which forms a section of the World Values Survey (WVS) compared 24 countries’ global standards of trust and acceptance towards people from other backgrounds'.A study from that 'hotbed of right wing views' KCL and reported in the Standard.
