[QUOTE=The Bedlington Terrier;39508566]A serious discourse on racism here and everywhere else for that matter has been long overdue.

It's an emotive subject, it's divisive and it asks people to choose sides.

A meaningful debate is probably possible on this site BT. At least I hope it is. I would not dream of posting anything on Facebook for example because a rational debate is simply not possible there at the present time and is likely to be met with a torrent of abuse and accusations.

I disagree with your assertion that there are sides or indeed that we must choose a particular side. I think we are agreed racism needs to be tackled. So it should.

Slavery which still exists in all its cruelty in these modern times has hardly been mentioned in this media storm.

I will add to the debate when where and as I see fit.
