Whereas your side is happy to come up with any old excuse rather than challenging unacceptable behaviour.
rs oOf course age is an excuse. And she's 20 years older than us two. A different generation, She was wrong, she's out of touch but you are only looking for an excuse to point the racism finger. It's because what people on your side of the argument look to do. You get pleasure out of doing it. Like i said, it's your intolerance.
Oh the irony. Supporting racist behaviour is tolerance, calling it out is intolerance.
She's in a very privileged position and knows full well what the current climate is like. She would have been briefed on it.
I'm not supporting racism at all. It's you that is intolerant because you are unable to accept that people can ask questions without a motive being involved. It's people like you who because of your intolerance want to carry out a witch hunt on an 83 year old woman who let's face it, no-one would have known her name before and is pretty much no harm to anybody. But people like you have got to have your pound of flesh because you think your view of the world is oh so right. Like I said intolerant. Often, people like our parents of that age views were different to the world that is today but you can't grasp that fact. And you just want to pile in with your holier than thou attitude. It stinks of intolerance.
It was the way she pushed and pushed it.
Hang on a mo, it's people like you who accuse the royals of not living in the real world. She is closely linked to them so you can't have it both ways.
Like I first said show me the transcript. You are basing everything on one side of the story as being an accurate account. And it's nothing to do with pig ignorance as I've said, it's about a generational thing and she is 83. And let's face it, is this woman in it for anything other than the publicity. You clearly think she's completely blameless in all she's said and her actions. Gullible.
Nobody else has claimed the transcript might not be true or at least broadly correct. William has apologised and Lady Hussey has resigned, so I think it’s fair to say that Fulani’s version of events is an accurate one.
I think she meant the slave traders who kidnapped her ancestors didn’t keep any records.
Maybe, but an 83 year old Hussey might not have understood that. I mean, how long does this have to go on for? Let’s go back to the Romans and Ghengis Khan, who had slaves, maybe some were my ancestors.
What’s her age for to do with it? Sounds a bit ageist to me.
But seem to forget that black people sold other black people into the slave trade
Yep I agree with that
Except that (intended or not) the message that can be delivered is “Oh so you’re not really British then”.
I don’t think that’s been forgotten.
We’ve got an elderly relative who’s like that but whenever she crosses a line her daughter is quick to pull her up and tell her it’s not acceptable. Nasty is nasty and I don’t see why the old think they should get a free pass.
I have no idea why you would even bring the slave trade into this discussion unless of course you think the slave trade was just a white problem and have tried to use untruths to make a point
At least you acknowledge that some older people who are "like that". We have an 88 yr old relative and we tell him you can't say things like that any more. The woman was wrong and she has quit her job/resigned or whatever. I'd guess she was just tring to make converstion and asking about her roots and history but she went about it the wrong way but also not being helped by some-one who knew full well what she was doing and was perhaps deliberately being evasive. She could if she wanted could have cut of the line of questioning straight away if she felt uncomfortable but clearly chose not to. Why was that? Because she had an opportunity for her so to speak 15 minutes of fame. I think it's said above that the organisation which she set up or worked for said it was for Caribbean women so I think it reasonable to say she should have known what the LIW was getting at but chose to play ignorant.
I can only go from my own experiences but with my family it has come from a place of ignorance or lack of exposure rather than actual hatred of anyone.
It really is a non story
do we know for sure it was recorded and if so by whom?
If not she has a good memory, either way maybe Ngozi could have replied along the lines of being born here but her parents were part of the windrush generation. That's how a normal conversation would go.
Of course it's "broadly" correct and is why she has resigned. But my point remains that although it may be broadly correct it can also be about the tone and how she asked the questions. And with that in mind it could be how she recalled the conversation and phrased it for effect to make an issue of it.
yeah agree, see my last post.
I was answering a post by Mates.I have no idea why you would even bring the slave trade into this discussion unless of course you think the slave trade was just a white problem and have tried to use untruths to make a point
I'm confused
The slave trade is irrelevant to what was said in the conversation between the silly old cow and the attention seeker
I'm not one of them.
Vini vide vinci.
The transcript was posted earlier and I've heard the recording which is accurate to the transcript
who recorded it and for what purpose? If you've heard it, it must be available to hear on line, but can't find it.
