Carole Malone says if you stop singing a song that brags about being the country that enslaved black people, it will "foster racism".

Thank you @skygillian
Put it this way:
(this isn't an exaggeration because slavery involved a lot of rape)
If there was a song written by a known rapist, about how he'd never been raped, you'd never sing that as you'd know he was bragging about his position at the top of the food chain. #RuleBritannia
IT GETS BETTER! @gillianjoseph is absolutely right! Carole argues that removing things that are racist against black people will make people angry at against black people.
You would only argue that (without qualifying it, and she didn't) if you thought that viewpoint had merit.

If a white police officer refuses to arrest a sex offender becsuse they don't want to be called racist...
They're NOT doing it to protect ethnic minorities...
They're doing it to protect their own WHITE ass.
That's not political correctness!!
This entire conversation is driven by people with no understanding of how to address issues of racism, using that as an argument to stop addressing issues of racism.
That is why the ROTHERHAM Casey Report talked about "misplaced political correctness".
Because no civil rights movement in human history has EVER marched with the objective of helping sex offenders escape justice.
