I'm 67, a new pensioner, when I was at school we used to be tested in class to make sure we knew our square tables. We learnt history, geography, english, english literature, etc. We did not play monopoly to learn anything about skin privilege. There were some classmates in there that did not have white skin and guess what? No one cared what colour your skin was. My very best friend of 30 years from the age of 12 was a muslim. She still would be my best friend, if her family had not moved. I was welcome in their house as she was in mine. Skin colour never entered the conversation because NO ONE cared.
@@Alison-g5l Very true but I also think uncontrolled immigration has created tensions. The pressure on GPs, dentists, hospitals etc has left the normally welcoming natives just a little bit resentful
@@adrianbennett3761 I don't disagree with any of what you have said. I am very upset at the situation we are all in too. London appears to be lost. Genuine refugees and legal migrants that are willing to work, integrate is different. I am just talking about what is happening in schools, and this is like stoking hatred of white people, instead of being political they should be teaching education and letting children just naturally become friends just seems better to me. I am aware of the NHS issues, an appointment with a doctor or a dentist is impossible here.
When I was a kid in manchester in the '70s I remember sitting on our indian neighbour's doorstep on a sunny afternoon with their young lad, eating delicious, freshly-cooked poppadoms. These people don't want that kind of multiculturalism. They want guilt, divisiveness, victims, oppressors, and persecution. It's vile.
Ay same mate grew up with loads of Indians, Pakistanis, windrush folk, Irish travellers, Poland folk, African folk. Went to school with them no drama ain’t no thing. New kids turn up at school we weren’t told we gotta test them differently for whatever reason it was just “ere new kid whatever”. Just taught that we’re people and that’s it. This was a small ish town to like 100,000 people in middle England. I don’t know why everyone gotta be herded into groups.
They can say whatever they want. I absolutely LOVE being white, and I am grateful both my parents found white partners and produced me. I love my race, I love my history, I love my people (most of them anyway). They will never shame me, being white is awesome.
Will there be an 'Inflatable Dinghy' token...? This can be used by anyone who just happens to turn up and wants to play... All the other players then have to give this new player some of their cash, and a plastic council house for free... If multiple new players arrive all at once, then a player holding the most hotels must give one up for free...
My children used to live in Hartlepool and a few years ago the schools or councils wanted to remove the history of world war 1 and World War II from there schools !!!!
Do the proposed new Monopoly rules include the provision of a set of 'Race-Cards'... That can be played whenever the player feels disadvantaged or slighted in some way by something that happened 300 games previously...?
Will the new Monopoly rules reflect reality...? Once per game, anyone with a moderate handful of cash has to hand half of it to the government, while the richer players are allowed to hide theirs under the board, and pay only a token single note...?
I devised a variation of Monopoly as a social experiment a couple of years ago. The aim was to teach children about real life inequalities. 😅 So each player has a certain advantage; £500 to Pass Go; Pay a Fine to avoid prison; Never pay tax; Never repair houses; Receive double from Community Chest; Take double dice rolls; Avoid rent payments and others I can't recall. It's makes for an interesting game!
I never saw a difference between different skin colours when I was young. We played with everyone regardless of any differences, we were just children playing. This racist nonsense is totally ‘man’ made.
When my children were growing up in the 90s, our house was like a gathering of the United Nations. All were welcome. Now, all in their 30s, many of those friendships still survive. Neither colour or creed was EVER an issue.
Right? I mean he's written a book called 'How to be Right' so I guess be must be although I can't help thinking that he sounds more like a raving mad man whose brain got broken by Brexit.
I grew up near Stockport in the 50s. There were noblack people, asian people, etc in ANY of my scools. Tje first black person I got close to was in 1964 in Stockport Infirmary, a tea lady. We were a white nation. These other races didn't exist in large numbers before the 50s so they must appreciate that they are newcomers to OUR country. We are having to adapt our society to accommodate them, I just wish they'd appreciate it.
Hold on a minute - you try to put yourself over as a fair and impartial journalist but if you were being truly fair and impartial you would invite someone like Fraser Myers AND somebody with equally string views on the other side and you would act as the impartial adjudicator. However as it is, and you might take this as a compliment, you sound like a cross between Liz Truss and Nadine Dorris - in that you seem to be ranting about something that you don't seem to understand. Just an observation...
