****** to be obliterated from our history!

She said she would "never mate with a neanderthal".
On that particular series.
That rules Notch out.
Voting for brexit, then campaigning against it. LoL

The racism against blacks by white people was invented by whites to justify slavery, when it began during the 17 century.
Other sorts of 'racism' is now recognised, such as racism due to religion, culture, etc.

Nonsense

Slavery began in the 17th century  my arris

Jeez us wept

Highly intelligent people revise their decisions in light of new information.

Dogged tribalism is the path Neanderthals take.
Never mind you plod on with your ignorance

You did too!

I think you will find that idiots also do that.

No they don't

Idiots are driven by emotion not evidence, that's why they are easily manipulated.

 

[Notch7]

You did not, but then you are still regurgitating the same garbage that was debunked years ago.

Watch out, Notchy is on his 'I'm more intelligent than you' soapbox.

What utter BS. Its our history, it was how they were then poor dog wasn't its fault. Ok it's a name it wasn't like it was called 'hang all Xxxx's' xxx- any race you can think of.

Do this the right way, remove it from all (c)Rap music etc lets ensure it's not exclusive to a colour otherwise we are discriminating.

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Its our history, it was how they were then ...

Yes, it is history, and the RAF don't want to be associated with historical racism.
Just because it was acceptable then, doesn't make it acceptable now.
If we were to hang on to historical accuracy, under the argument that that is the correct way of things, the RAF would still be flying Moths.

Yep, that's why we no longer think the world is flat.
Well, most of us.

And here we go again.
I thought you didn't care?

Back to the beginning again... We shouldn't be hiding/rewriting our history. It's our history, it happened. It was only removed for fear of upsetting some, fear of upsetting instead of actually finding out if a historical name for a dog long dead was upsetting to any at all.

Appeal to and appease to extremes we get situation like this. Victors always wrote history - you should watch the documentary "Fog og War".

I don't care about whether Guy Gibson is recognised as being a racist. I'm ambivalent on that aspect. I have my opinion. I can understand and I support the RAF in their fight against racism within the military.
If removing the usage of racist terminology by one of its illustrious members is part of that process, full marks to them, I say.

History is another social construct.
Just for Notch7.
