Well, there are a lot of things about Churchill that introduce him as an agent of Evil. Racism, per se, is in human nature, so it doesn't count. :)

AGREED - that Churchill is anything but an ideal figure. In fact, I suggested to the authors that another image might be far better. He has done, from all I have read, major evil - like being a major agent in a mass starvation.

Besides being an alcoholic pervert, he also seems to have jerked off during carpet bombing civilians... Strangely, his autobiography, along with Roosevelt's, never mentions the German labor camps...

Any day - better to be what "THEY" define as racist, vs Marxist.

Actually, I don't know much about the current topic of Anglophobia. Where it's happening.

But by commonsence, I can understand it. Islam is a such poisonous thought which teaches and promotes hatred against people of other religions. It doesn't depends on skin colour. White, black, brown or yellowish.. The religion is basis of hatred. And this hatred is spreading fastly all over the world. You just remember those days of crusades. How constinopol was won by Muslim by defeating Roman empire and how Sophia church converted into mosque. How females were looted and sold in slave market at a price of shoe pair and all that.

European countries can find a solution on this by giving second citizenship to Muslims residing in Europe. Voting right in parliamentary elections and local body elections should not be given to them. Also population control act and anty polygamy act must be imposed on them. Otherwise they can win democracy by growing their population with high speed.

No shelter on humanitarian grounds should be given to a single Muslim.

My sense is we need to look at root causes, and do what we can to act there. For instance, what has caused Western nations - not just one, but a huge number - to take in large numbers of people with an ideology against human rights and freedoms, to deny that their ideology is against human rights and freedoms, and in fact to target anyone who speaks the truth. One huge step is making the ideology visible. It is a huge dangerous situation. The West in general has no safeguards for stopping voting from people who hold anti-freedom ideologies - KKK, Communism, etc. So anti-freedom parties can be, and have been, elected.

What a great term! I'm stealing it. Dr. Walter Williams an economist who was the head of the Economics Dept. at George Mason University and made it one of the best depts. in the east. As a black man growing up in the late 1940s and 1950s he experienced racism like few if any today experience. Despite growing up with this. he remained amazingly circumspect about it, and was able to intelligently discuss race issues. I would look forward to him substituting for my favorite radio talk show because it was always an educating time. I heard him comment on the attitude of the Congressional Black Caucus as "The Klan with a Tan". Could a picture be any more descriptive? Dr. Williams knew what racism looked like. regardless of the color or race of the racist.

Many Blacks think they are the only race to ever have been enslaved, but I heard Williams say "every race has been enslaved in history, we just happened to be the last." He went on to tell the story of the effort by the U.S. in 1820 to repatriate slaves to Liberia. The repatriated slaves were given rubber plantations and a system of govt. Once arriving in Liberia, the former slaves determined they needed workers for the plantations, so they promptly enslaved the locals to work the plantations! So is slavery different than racism?

Fabulous story!!! And also a fabulous human being. Yes, slavery is one thing, racism is another - and Anglophobia is again something different. Feel free to use - and (I know you will do this) give credit where credit is due. Hope to see you at the launch on Sunday!!
