Subject: RE: BS: Tory party conference
Dave, the discussion was about British publications.
All I said about those American ones is that they were racist.
Nothing right wing from me, and I never said it was just the humour of the time.

Jim accused me of saying something I never said, about something we never discussed.

Jim,
No it did not - children being brainwashed was purely your invention.
Kinealy said that Irish children were taught "simplistic" version of famine history "replete with heroes and villains."
She said that in the 30s historians tried to get a more honest version taught, but it never got through to the schools.
So, generations of kids were taught a version known to be false.

That is a description of brainwashing, and it comes from Kinealy not me.
Is she right wing Jim?

you were given examples of those cartoons which you described as non-racist
Not true. I only said the Frankenstein one was not.
I said the others WERE racist. You quoted me yesterday!
