Oh,I think that several of us have addressed Michael Morris's comments and been ignored. The prevalent attitude seems to be.
a) We're not offending anyone.
b) Those who are offended, have no right to be.
Kind of deteriorates into name calling after that.
Those who don't know any better, should.
Those who do know better and still continue this sort of behaviour are guilty of bigotry.
As for great Britain not taking part in the slave trade. Your joking, right? Britannia really did rule the waves and it is a very sad truth that we were the Slave Traders.
