Topic | The moment #BlackLivesMattterUK pulled down the statue of merchant slave trader |
UnfairRepresent 06/07/20 2:33:20 PM #10: | TheVipaGTS posted... Why did he have a statue? He's a huge historical figure in England. He built schools and hospitals and churches and donated immense amounts of money to the poor. He was historically seen as a hero and has a number of places/streets etc named after him. But he got his wealth from selling slaves. So.... People be pissed. It's the same thing you see about Colombus and George Washington --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard! |
