David Olusoga - The History of Racism | Introducing 'Staying Power' by Peter Fryer

[@stevengarside]

David blocked me on twitter for politely reminding him that he has been totally silent on the genocide in Gaza. Silence is complicity, especially when you have a platform. Why is he not speaking out against Israel's war crimes and the racism and colonialism experienced by Palestinians? Perhaps he values his career more than justice?

I suppose one man can only do so much. No one can fight every injustice in the world, I think what he's doing is a big enough task as it is.

[@stevengarside]

@@roastnut Hi there. I do understand he can't fight every injustice. But it's THE issue of global justice in the world right now - this generation's South Africa. Students in his own university are, right now, occupying campus buildings over the institution's ties to Israeli universities. And yet the Professor of Public History has not a word to say. If he can't or won't use his platform to speak out on this, I think it is nothing short of moral cowardice.

@@stevengarside He probably doesn't want to take any more heat than he gets at the moment. People are getting cancelled or worse for speaking out against that injustice. Let some other people who are not currently taking on anything pick up the slack on that.

why worry he's a liar and a fraud...

Simon Webb on his channel has called you out for being a bad historian.Its History debunked if you want to reply.

[@Grangran0160]

He won’t reply because he knows he’s a liar he is on a mission to cause trouble

[@paulcoats129]

@@Grangran0160 He should reply through the courts.

[@peterharknett4695]

This constructed racism by certain individuals with an agenda is COMPLETELY different to a whole nation of people being racist, so make sure you clarify this so as not to confuse people

[@arhansen85]
