This academic sounds xenephobic against the indigenous peoples of England.
‘white supremacist’
Blah blah blah.
More antisemitism from the usual class. Denigrate the murder of millions of Jews as the equivalent of colonialism. Just the most recent iteration of centuries of Jew hating among the British upper class.
Insane. I’m no anglophile, but this is just crap.
We get to have these debates for now. They help to inform us of the direction of travel of these “academics”.
Soon we will not and it will simply become fact that Churchill was evil - perhaps more so than Hitler - and we start removing his great name from history.
White people the new black
I guess Kunte Kinte, the so-called professor of Black Studies and anti-White Racism never read about Churchill’s fighting in the Boer War and covering events in Africa as a journalist (who actually risked his life several times in both endeavors).
What would you expect from a black Marxist racist pig who is living off the government’s money/Cambridge Un. money as an academic elite?
Cambridge, once the training ground for Soviet spies. Now the tenure place for black racists/Marxists. My how times have changed in Merry Old England.
Churchill was white, therefore, it follows that he was a white supremacist. Whiteness is now illegal. Critical race theory proves it. Get use to it.
Just to fantasize a little, what if Churchill wasn’t Prime Minister from 1940-1945? Let’s say a “Chamberlain-type” had been in office.
Britain would have been conquered by Nazi Germany in six months or less.
This discussion would not have taken place because the participants would either be dead or had never been born.
The British who remained would be slaves in fields and factories.
If this were the case, the U.S. might have thrown their full weight against Japan after 12/7/41.
Like I said, it’s fantasy. Critics are free to criticize.
Have at it.
Further, had Hitler succeeded against Britain, he would have been free to conquer the Middle East and... Africa!
And what would have been the consequence of that? More favorable treatment than Britain provided?
I doubt it.
Germany and Russia had signed a non-aggression pact in ‘41. If England had fallen, might that pact have survived a little longer? If Germany and Russia divided Poland, might they have done the same to Africa.
And what would have been the consequence of that?
The participants at this “discussion” are more racist than Churchill ever was. But no one will ever say that publicly.
I have predicted it years ago. The left will rehabilitate Hitler. The Nazis will be called good guys who fought the evil Zionists and British and American imperialists.
Google Jalianwala baag.
A bit of a mixed bag on this
1. Churchill was less a “white” supremacist and more an “English chauvanist” - he looked down upon the French, Germans, Poles, even the Americans. and he loathed Indians, etc
2. He was indirectly responsible for the Bengal famines in the 1940s by insisting on food being taken from Bengal
3. Yet the British empire cannot be compared with the Nazis. The longevity of that empire tells you that it wasn’t that virulent. In most places they ruled through intermediaries. The Brits learnt from their failures in the north American colonies and took a hands off approach.
Human beings have struggled to advance the interests of their family, tribe, nation, from the beginning of time.
Any other motive is mental illness.
The second worse thing about Hitler’s existence is that, aside from killing 6 million people, we have to listen for the rest of history about how this person or that is worse than Hitler.
Of course, you’ll never hear:
“He’s worse than Stalin.”
“He’s worse than Pol Pot.”
“He’s worse than Hirohito.”
“He’s worse than Mao.”
I mean, Hitler was bad, but can’t we change up the lingo from time to time?
