the clarkson debate

[VNA]

apparently its ok to denigrate the white indigenous working class by referring to them as 'chavs'

I looked up the definition and history of 'chav'. 

Chav - a young working class person who dresses in casual sports clothing.
History - added to the English dictionary in 2005.

Oh yeah, 'chav' is such a heavily loaded dangerous word man, just like nigger - eh?  Not!

but it's time for a more equal playing field, how much do we hear about the 1m plus white slaves carried off from Europe to Africa by berber pirates in 17 & 18 century - nix! but endless stories of black people being sold into slavery by their own people and transported to the USA where they were incredibly badly abused are repeated endlessly. 

The difference is that you are taking of a 1/10th of those taken to the Americas.  It does show that slavery does go across all races.  But in general it has been discrimination aginst black people, particularly African blacks, often descendant of slaves that continued to be discriminated against until very recent years, and some would say continue to be discriminated against to this day.  And you certainly get that impression on the fazer forum!

It was for example, not that long ago that the UK was supporting apartheid in South Africa.  So no its not ancient history.

but endless stories of black people being sold into slavery by their own people and transported to the USA

Oh yes, of course it was their own fault- what?
