“Keeping Austin weird”
Saint Patrick was BRITISH
Something to wear on March 17th if you are feeling a bit contrary. :)
It infuriates the Left when one of their own has to remind them of real history.
To the comfy chair with you !
Nonwhotes and woketards will not ever consider white european peoples victims of anything, even though they certainly were. Muslims pirates raided coastal european towns and took whites back as slaves for hundreds of years.
He should have told them the word slave comes from Turks enslaving the Slavs
John Clese should not have had his mike taken away for making a somewhat wry (albeit true) remark, but he was perhaps gratified to know that at age 82, John can still say things that will shock, confuse and rattle people.
Every performer wants to be noticed. He’s the only one getting any press at all for this little chat session.
"Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it" is certainly true, but it's also true that "Those who do study history are doomed to be silenced by those who do not, but who have preconceived notions about it."
If the current narrative is that People-A enslaved People-B, then any talk of the fact that People-C enslaved People-A is considered horrifying.
Cleese has become something of a cranky old-man, but by God, he's earned it.
What about reparations from the Scandinavians? And I suppose the Germans, who came there earlier, but there already was a population.
Awesome. Someone with some knowledge of history crushes idiot American Leftists educated in government schools, and of course they freak out about it.
They invited John Cleese, they got John Cleese.
Lol. Good for him.
Just saw the Four Yorkshireman skit after a decade.
Luxury!
Britain is also owed reparations by Africans. In centuries past, the Barbary pirates plundered English ships, enslaving their crews, and even raided coastal communities. One night in June, 1631, Barbary pirates raided the English settlement of Baltimore, Ireland, and carried off most of its inhabitants to slavery in Africa.
To listen to the CRT proponents, you’d ‘ve thought that the white colonials here established the institution of slavery.
Thankfully she didn't sit on him, she's at least 300 lbs.
Yes, we can’t let the world know that non-blacks have been slaves in the past.
If leftists were capable of thought, they’d realize he’s spot on.
Not that modern Britons deserve whatever, but everyone everywhere has ancestors that were beaten up by some other peoples sometime — so the whole concept of reparations and ‘justice’ from one specific group is crap.
Of course that is *the* sacred cow to the left and their fount of political power so of course they freaked out.
Cleese is absolutely right.
The Roman Empire brought in almost 500,000 slaves a year because they worked them to death, so they ran out quickly.
Most of those slaves came from Britannia and Gaul.
The numbers were enormous.
Sorry John, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.
Hell yeah
