ASK & DISCUSS INDEX

Count me in! I was just thinking this when the question of intelligent aliens came up. What would they be like? Would you include questions about being gay as falling into the PC question? Example: local gays wanted their own private evening session at the local swimming pool. I mean - what do they get up to that us heteros don't ... ? The Alien point is very significant when discussing Darwinism and the different species. Cheers - Franz

What have the Romans ever done for us, eh?

Looking at your previous films, I suspect this is some sort of satire / joke, right?

Yes this is serious, why are people so hung up about discussing this issue? Film-makers need to be bold to provoke debate, native white folks are being surpressed due to PC, this creates resentment, I want an open and honest debate.

I speak with hundreds of people all the time, as a psychologist I want to get to the bottom of this as I have said above-views from all sides necessary!

Inevitably, one way or the other, your doc will have to include Hitler and the Nazis as that is one colossal contribution by well-meaning white folks. Just not sure as a whole, whilst including the nut-jobs, whether your documentary would have a positive or negative or just a mixed response, too many risks, with too little reward.

one thing that really bugs me is self-appointed "well-meaning white folks [relentlessly] discuss[ing] the contribution that native Europeans have made on the world stage-particularly the Brits", to use your own words. i think your 'documentary' should cover why it is that every week brings a new hour-long doc presented by jeremy paxman, niall ferguson or some other tedious, colonial-fetishising bore, who seem to think that a load of leftover empire-serving railroads make up for the killing of millions.

the fact that you're clearly just trolling, and haven't even made much of an attempt to disguise that fact, is in some ways a relief... but you should know as well as anyone that trolling platforms like shooting people, where you're unlikely to find racist views anyway, doesn't really help your case. i'd be wary too, in that the racists you're trying to troll elsewhere via youtube are not *just* a load of racists: they are also bored, often unemployed (hence a lot of spare time) and looking for scapegoats. any engagement with them only acts as encouragement - it might be more effective to contribute something positive and multi-cultural, thereby rendering the whole framework of their argument redundant.

I heard that PCs no longer like being called plebs, does that help?

I think you can still get European History textbooks at the shops, they haven't been banned yet. Hey, they even teach the subject at school. It might be hard to fit thousands of years of the history of billions of people into a documentary, but then again, maybe you're working on a long one.

Some movies have already been made for you: 1492, Gladiator, Creation (the Darwin movie), Sparticus...

Then again, the question is, are you serious, or is this some kind of Borat-style prank?

Isn't every month 'White History Month'. It shouldn't be too difficult to arrange. Just pick a month, any month, carry on as normal.

ps. I'd pick an autumnal month, as I find the falling leaves and cool weather to be quite pleasant. Maybe this can be my contribution to your ground breaking doco. I'd be willing to work for expenses, but I would appreciate a deferred payment. You can credit me as 'seasonal advisor'.

So how do you plan on addressing the fact that every "month", every history class is already white-centred? I remember 12 year old classmates in America complaining "why's there a Black Entertainment Television and no White Entertainment Television" when even at 12 I could see that every other channel was aimed at, and contained only, white people. Have you noticed? From a historical perspective especially, actually, white history and white European viewpoints dominate "world history" classes almost as much as European history classes, which of course are a major part of any historical curriculum in the first place. "Open minded free thinkers" most likely are going to be looking at this larger picture, not a pretend one where a 85-90% white populated continent doesn't have a white-centred cultural history. I don't mean to turn this into a huge debate but are these facts things you plan on incorporating into your experiment? Because they kind of make it look like a "Borat-style prank"...
And as a side note, "PC" seems to have evolved into a term racists use to explain why most people aren't racist anymore, so use it carefully...

"What have the Romans ever done for us, eh?"

"In 2012, 64 years after the arrival of the Empire Windrush on our shores, 36 years after the passage of the third Race Relations Act, 19 years after the racist murder of Stephen Lawrence, the great British commentariat is, in effect, a mono-racial, monocultural closed shop."

Ask yourself, why do we need a Black history month? Looking back over the last 500 years might help. Look at the systematic lies, propaganda, and pure hyperboley Then ask yourself is it oK to exploit one set of human beings for the benefit of just a few human beings? This is what all history is based on in reality . Peace
