      Why? You can't catch racism over the Internet.

        White folk are not the sole scapegoats, but treating those who made a fortune out of slavery as some kind of hero with statues etc we now accept is not the right thing to do either.

        As per my response to Vetty's first post, I personally would hold the grandparent of the woman who he quoted as responsible for his part in slavery the same as I would anyone else, irrespective of skin colour.

          That is indeed my point. However the narrative is the bad white man is the cause of slavery. An assertion that is a lie and not helpful. I believe we just need to close the book and move on. We need to solve the reasons racism remains in organisations and why certain cultures have poorer outcomes.
