Fury over Sadiq Khan's woke statue taskforce: London mayor unveils monuments commission - including social rights activist who defaced a statue of Sir Robert Geffrye and academic who said white supremacy can be traced back to Britain
UK Daily Mail ^ | February 9, 2021 | Jack Elsom

Sadiq Khan was today accused of 'reducing London's history to politics' after unveiling his diversity taskforce to review landmarks in the capital.

The 15-strong team includes an academic who implied that all international examples of white supremacy can be traced back to Britain, and a campaigner who once confronted the Queen to demand she apologise for historical injustices.

The project has come under fire from politicians concerned that figures of our national past could be erased by 'unelected activists'.

Talk about a stacked deck.

Fellow panellist, business academic Lynette Nabbosa,...'It was the UK's racism that birthed slavery and colonialism. We say it is in the past but our schools, colleges, universities, streets, museums etc have never stopped honouring the enforcers of our oppression.'

Good gawd what an ignoramus.

The great tragedy is the UK made the stupid decision to let these people in during the 2nd half of the 20th century. Now they are reaping what they sowed.

Europe is similar to us in many ways.
I think the majority of White people know that North Africans and assorted ragheads are a bad idea for immigration.
Demographics is destiny, and the future is not looking good.

There’s nothing wrong with the dirt in Africa, it’s the people. Same for the dirt(sand)in Muslim countries.
Europe, America, Canada, and Australia are 1st world for a reason we all know.

Sir Enoch Powell warned about it. The late Sir Roger Scruton did so likewise.

It was the UK's racism that birthed slavery and colonialism

And it was the UK that basically ended the African slave trade from the west coast of Africa, and even caught, arrested, and convicted anyone continuing the slave trade.

Guess who was the most upset by the ending of the slave trade? Yes, the African leaders themselves.

Fury? Doubtful. The English public is every bit as stupid as the American public.

white supremacy can be traced back to Britain

Why stop there? Let's trace the blame back to the Vikings, the Gauls, the Franks, the Visigoths, and the Huns.

Keep going back...what about the white supremacist Pelasgians, Anatolians, Illyrians, Dacians, Thracians, Camunni, Rhaetians, Lepontii, Adriatic Veneti, Ligurians, Etruscans, Celts, Rhaetians and Swabians, Vistula Veneti, Lugii and Balts? Don't forget the Normans, the Sicels and Morgetes, the Sicani, Elymians, Scythians and Sarmatians.

But this tack blames the symptoms (white people), not the disease. If we were serious about white supremacy, we'd blame Sol himself:

Where did fair pigmentation in present-day Europeans come from? Farmers carried a gene variant for light skin that's still around today. "There's an evolutionary argument about this - that light skin in Europe is biologically advantageous for people who farm, because you need to make vitamin D," said David Reich. "Hunters and gatherers get vitamin D through their food - because animals have a lot of it. But once you're farming, you don't get a lot of it, and once you switch to agriculture, there's strong natural selection to lighten your skin so that when it's hit by sunlight you can synthesise vitamin D."

Why stop there? God created the sun, cholecalciferol-D3 and the ability of the dermis to synthesize it from the sun's UV-B radiation.

OK, I've traced it back to the source...let's blame God. He will appreciate that and we'll all feel a lot better about this insanity we must endure every day.
