[QUOTE="Reiser99, post: 1034334, member: 72977"] Yeah I can definitely give some thoughts/summary on it. Already just reading the start shows how little I know of recent British history dealing with issues of race and I thought I knew more than most white people would in the UK. For example In World War 1 the British Government promised Indians that if they fought in the war India would be given it's freedom from colonial rule and then they completely reneged on the promise. Lynch mobs in Liverpool in the 1919 that murdered innocent black men. A private members bill advocating forced sterilisation with it origins in a eugenics movement was actually voted on (and defeated) in 1931. The fact that it even made its way in to parliament is shocking. A number of race riots as a result of black people being murdered (we seem to think America has the monopoly on these.) Only about a 1/4 of the way through, but I would already recommend it highly. [/QUOTE]
