I guess that’s what you learn in “black studies” program.
What career does that qualify you for?
Probably one of the many ‘diversity’ positions.
Leftist spout this nonsense and think everyone will buy in.
Good for Piers.
Maybe we’ll get a conservative out him after all.
I think I’m becoming more of a Proud Boy daily.
Yet the same people condemning Churchill praise and worship murderous thugs like Castro, Che, Nelson and Winnie Mandela.
Who accomplished nothing but slaughter, torture, enslavement and death.
The UK seems to be even further down the road of post-modern lunacy than we are.
Good for Piers.
“Mr Andrews’s views on Churchill and Britain were disputed by Mr Morgan, who asked him why he had not moved away from the country he ‘clearly hates’.”
I didn’t see anything that amounted to “slamming” the obnoxious professional Negro.
BTW, a “professor” of melanin poisoning studies should be termed “notorious,” not “renowned.”
Oh, that's right...only White people can be racist.
“Controversial incidents in Churchill’s past include the famine in India that killed three million in 1943”
But the elephant in the room with Kihinde’s argument is, if 1942 India had engaged in armed revolt since 1910 and had declared independence in 1935, how was Britain responsible for a famine in 1943?
India was and is a slavery/caste-system country. The wealthy relied on a very large agarian population, who in turn, were at the mercy of disease, natural disasters and weather patterns. Descendants were locked into their caste - born poor, die poor. Born an untouchable, die an untouchable. Famine and disease were common in India.
1861 Famine in North West
1866 Famine in Bengal and Orissa – 1 million perished
1869 Intense famine in Rajasthan – 1.5 million perished
1874 Famine in Bihar
1876–78 Famine in Bombay, Madras and Mysore – 5 million perished.
1896-1914 - bubonic plague in Bombay
1896-1901 - plague-related famine
1943 - Bengal - 2 million perished
While England annexed India in 1858, and Queen Victoria was crowned Empress in 1877, it wasn’t until around the time of the formation of the Indian Congress in 1885 that governance became centralized. Twenty years later, the push for India independence was on. Although Ghandi encouraged Indians numbering some 600,000 to join British forces during WW1, the years following WW1 were filled with one assassination attempt after the other. There was also public rejection of anything foreign - from clothes, to food, to aid. Nehru celebrated the first ‘independence day’ in 1930. This was followed by the autonomy act of 1935 passed by Parliament and the Quit India act passed by India Congress in 1942. Indian leaders spoke loudly against supporting Britain’s war efforts in WW2.
What about 1943? WW2. Japan occupied Burma and kept the rice Bengal was dependent upon after a fungal disease decimated the rice crop in SW Bengal. British rules against hoarding were ignored by landowners and merchants who rejected anything smelling of British governance, driving up the price - including to the British. Shipping came to a standstill due to Japanese attacks on ships and demands on English ships elsewhere - the fight for the survival of Europe and the defeat of Japan and Germany.
