Yet another example of our racist past - which was rectified, to an extent - by the Race Relations Act 1968.
Racism though clearly remains endemic - for example in football grounds - despite the football associations' best efforts.
But it take a specific event to remind us , every now and then...
Why not get rid of football then? It makes more sense than removing a lump of metal in Bristol.
Then if football was banned then everything else would have to follow.
Why shouldn't it? If you accept that racism should be stamped out, why not remove something that appears to encourage it?
Go the whole hog. Dont stop at the statues. Bulldoze universities, streets, cities, everything that has "links" to racism and the slave trade. (everything).
And then when its all nice and sterile and untainted we can build it all up again, using cheap sweatshop labour from abroad.
