Angry self-absorbed professional 'victims', that is our world

To me a work of art or an historic monument is exactly that, a work of art or an historic monument and just because years after it has been made, someone somewhere does not like it, that is absolutely no reason to destroy it - sounds like something the Islamic State does

That fact that the leaders of the Northern States of America also had slaves is for some reason totally overlooked, as is the treatment of freed black slaves by their so-called liberators

I know what to do to even things out - we in the UK will ban everything connected to MUSLIMS who raided the English and many European coasts to take Christians as slaves

Not to forget the IRISH gangs who attacked each other taking slaves and on many occasions attacking UK and taking English slaves

And the BARBARIC TURKS who raided European coasts taking slaves

Go back far enough and the general population of most most countries made slaves of the less fortunate

Sadly, slavery is still taking place today but few mention it because so many of us reap the benefits of other peoples' suffering
