Have a quick look through the slaver as well. Today "Our Power Matters" are after supporters of Eugenics, but only the white male conservatives.
The eugenics movement Britain wants to forget
It wasn't just figures on the extreme right of politics who backed the eugenics philosophy. Some of British socialism's most celebrated names were among the champions of eugenics - Sidney and Beatrice Webb (the founders of the Fabian Society), Harold Laski, John Maynard Keynes, even the New Statesman and the Manchester Guardian.
Britain has some soul-searching of its own to do. What’s more, as in Sweden, the culprits are not long-forgotten fire-breathers of the far right. On the contrary: eugenics is the dirty little secret of the British left. The names of the first champions read like a roll call of British socialism’s best and brightest: Sidney and Beatrice Webb, George Bernard Shaw, Harold Laski, John Maynard Keynes, Marie Stopes, the New Statesman even, lamentably, the Manchester Guardian. Nearly every one of the left’s most cherished, iconic figures espoused views which today’s progressives would find repulsive.
Hurrah for the Red Shirts!

Originally posted by woohoo View PostI'm not sure this is true, we tend to group all Americans together. It's a massive country. I met a couple from New York that laughed when I said that I was going to Florida. Much the same way we would do the same if a tourist was heading off to Blackpool.
There is definitely a massive gap between rich and poor, when you are poor in the US, you are damn poor. But I've met a whole load of people that are nice, educated and intelligent people.

Why does Black Lives Matter only care about black lives when white people are threatening them?

I think you'll find that the only reason he cuts them off is because of dead air when they can't answer his questionsOriginally posted by vetran View PostThey still do but James O'Whine cuts them off. That's the thing with lefties they can't manage reasonable debate.
