I don't know enough about Portugal but I'd hazard a guess how they approach it is helped by the general continental culture towards these things?
I'm not claiming to be an expert on the situation but I know that they decriminalised all drug possession 20 years ago and it hasn't led to a huge surge in use as feared.
Just had a read up of it, how the fook does a 12 year old know about the KKK and words such as Coon, someone in his/her family have obviously either taught them that shhite or at the very least not monitored their internet behaviours.
Coon used to be a common word...Remember the series Roots? Can't see that getting an airing soon... We'll just have to watch Django again
They already banned it for using the word Kunta. I was reading To Kill A Mockingbird last week. A few terms in there which might get pulled up on.
I’d wager that if I ventured onto social media to engage with the types who are currently crying buckets over this, and asked then to name a single member of the Dambusters squadron that had 2 legs, then they’d struggle. But history being erased or something, and not just some fascists race baiting though.
****ing worlds gone crazy, let’s erase all history to keep the Marxists happy. ****ing BBC refusing to name the dog Nigger for fear it’ll lose its left wing friends.
"I am, however, very fearful of our ability today to erase or re-write history. The past needs to be explained, taught about, and learned from - not re-written." That's ****ing rich, seeing as basically all establishment recording of history has erased and rewritten it accordingly to suit their own agenda.
It's getting silly now, that's just my personal opinion. If that makes me a racist so be it, but i'd prefer to say, stop fooking about with historical references.
8 million native Americans killed in a genocide to establish the bastion of the free world that is the USA. 'erasing history' .......
Absolutely mate, it’s gone past crazy for me. Ironically Antifa & BLM have shot themselves in the foot by revealing their true agenda. The tide has turned and those idiots will soon disappear to await another victim to call foul.
People are allowed to have a different opinion to you. I don't give a shhite about the name being removed, but I do give a shhite about what's trying to be done here. Erasure of historical references. It's like in history where you see references to evacuation, relocation, when sometimes it's actually eviction or genocide, but it depends what spin you want to put on something, for future historical depictation. Then the historians will churn out whatever the leaders of the day desire.
It’s a dog, a dead dog, a dog that’s been dead for 80 years. Certain sorts have been crying about this for 20 years, and if I could be arsed I could find numerous references to that particular dog on this actual site, and they weren’t posts about historical purity. https://www.theguardian.com/media/2001/jun/11/itv.broadcasting
Of course, not disputing that opinions differ. I'm just pointing out that history has always been recorded from a certain perspective, as you say, from the agenda of the ruling class. Those who control the power, control the narrative. So the idea that history being 'erased' is a new thing or a 'left wing' thing is quite frankly a lot of bollocks.
This is worth a few minutes of anyone's time. This is an explanation of how history can be written, or rewritten, from a hero of mine.
