Slaves Who Liked Slavery

When freak shows were deemed to be politically incorrect no one thought to then provide jobs for said freaks. They went from being the toast of the town and getting lots of money to being destitute. So their pining for the good old days of the freak shows was not in support of such a barbaric practice but because no suitable way for them to make a living had been arranged in its place.

That article highlights the same issue. The abolition of slavery did not provide civil rights or employment rights etc for black people that were suddenly cast out to fend for themselves in a hostile country.

Clara would not have pined for the good old days of slavery if she had a home and the ability to earn a fair wage.
 
I noticed on a rerun of Prridge this week where they're all out digging a ditch in Nortumberland that they'd cut the bit where Lenny gets everyone singing with a mention of the "n..... slaves"...

Does that make you a supporter of this racist filth.

I’d be getting rid of those DVDs sharpish.

I know what you mean tho - I was copying the style of the previous post about Gone with the wind which has also gone.

Oh bugga I’ve gone and done it - not again!
 
This is beyond a joke! Papa Lazarou FFS, a completely made up character simply portrayed by a made-up white man. Should they have drafted in a black actor to play it?

If I cover my face in Cherry Blossom black boot polish am I guilty of racism? If my black pal dons white face paint is he guilty of racism??

What kind of people are running these companies? Are they all over-woke and triggered, or more likely as I mentioned on here earlier, they're cynically virtue-signalling to their woke subscribers. I might unsubscribe.

Just out of interest can you recommend a film which depicts slavery in an acceptable way? I'm not a film buff but would take your recommendations into account when next selecting a film to watch..

I agree but that doesnt mean a slave should not be portrayed as happy in a film or work of fiction/art if they were.
Should Downton Abbey be allowed to broadcast as it is just as ludicrous?
