I didn't see GB News at the Labour party conference on YouTube if that was the question.

I would expect every news outlet would be there.

Ok so seeing as you’re trying to ignore it, I watched a bit of it interviewing Starmer and then later Mandelsen was really balanced to be fair.

Do you think racism started with White slave traders journeying to Africa??
Blacks have enslaved Black's, Whites have enslaved Whites for centuries before this.
Blacks were not enslaved by The British BECAUSE they were Black!!
That would be racism!
They were a commodity not based on the colour of their skin.

So historically whites didn't see blacks as an inferior race because of their skin colour?

Well, you learn something new every day!

I'm not ignoring it, I didn't see it.

If you're trying to say that GB News is balanced and fair then I disagree.

Again Elite, you seem obsessed that colour defines racism.
Take a look at Tribal racism in Africa that still exists or the Caste system in India.
People are people!!!

Ok, so you haven’t seen the piece but made your mind up based on past prejudice?

I'm convinced that skin colour defines the majority of racism, especially historically.

Take a look at Tribal racism in Africa that still exists or the Caste system in India.

I don't dispute there are other forms of racism, and they are equally wrong.

So if I watch this single piece, it will convince me that GB news is fair and balanced????

Why is my "past prejudiced"? I see a news outlet dominated by the right wing using right wing presenters to present right wing opinions.

Is that a prejudiced or an accurate view?

No, I said the piece was balanced interviewing Starmer and Mandelsen , nothing about the Channel you did, you can’t assume everything is the same, it’s a bit like basing Saturday’s match ratings from one match in the past you saw not on what you saw on Saturday , you base it on that moment in time, everything changes but if your basing off your prejudices you will never move forward or see things differently.

Can't be arsed to watch it so I'll take your word.

Your match ratings analogy is a poor one though, one thing I've always tried to do is give every player a clean slate and base my ratings entirely on what I see in that particular game.

If the blacks had taken us a slaves would that have been racism in action or just commodities.
