Statues of ‘Old White Men’ May Need to Be Destroyed to Create ‘Right Historical Narrative’ – Welsh Govt
Breitbart ^ | 03/12/2023 | Jack Montgomery

Posted on 03/12/2023 6:16:28 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Welsh Government advice says statues of “old white men” such as Trafalgar hero Admiral Nelson may need to be removed or even destroyed to create the “right historical narrative” in an increasingly multicultural society.

In its current form, the studiously woke guidance, which should be finalised by the end of March, laments the fact that “powerful, older, able-bodied white men” are often depicted in public statues and memorials and that this may be “offensive” to Britain’s increasingly diverse population, according to The Telegraph.

Another example like the book burning in 1930s Germany.

Poet and playwright Heinrich Heine in 1822 penned the prophetic words, “Where they burn books, they will, in the end, burn human beings too.”

His books were among the ones in the bonfires in the streets as they burned the books. Years after he wrote that.

The Left is dehumanizing us so as to make Dems at home watching the TV news say “Those Deplorable Trump types had it coming to them. Good they’re dead now.”

Because Wales has a rich multi millennial past of generations of Teenz sacrificing blood sweat and tears to create the society enjoyed today

Offended by white men? Sounds racist to me.

Richmond, Va has a “Monument Avenue” with no monuments of white men, just one of a black tennis player.

Put a fork in it.

The "diverse population" (muzz) were not in Britain when the "old white men" were bringing civilization to the hordes.

We are not lucky enough to have Britain pack up the "diverse population," ship them back to the various shi+holes they came from and bring home whatever forces are preventing the warlords from taking over again.

Just let them rot back to where they were 200 years ago, occasionally reminding them that the "old white men" will never again interfere with their natural state of existence.

Admiral Nelson wasn’t an able-bodied white man after losing his arm in battle, as shown in this statue.

Watch...

They will draw the line at "destroying" the old Welsh language that only the Welsh understand, in the name of a "right historical narrative" in "an increasingly diverse population."

That’s history. How many non-whites were in Wales during Nelson’s time?

is it ok to be white? Apparently not.

Future generations will remember the traitors who sold them out and gave away their birthright to foreign peoples.

What the heck is his “right historical narrative?” That there were never any white people in the British Isles?

Somebody ought to go Full Boudica on this jackanapes arse.
