"HYPOCRISY Is Off The Scale!" | Rafe Heydel-Mankoo BLASTS Claims Of Saying 'Anglo-Saxon' Is 'Racist'

Talk’s Kevin O’Sullivan is joined by historian Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, who says censorship of the term ‘Anglo-Saxon’ is “indefensible and a disgrace”.
Cambridge University Press has faced allegations of catering to 'mad Americans' following its decision to remove the term from the title of a prestigious journal.
The renowned publication, Anglo-Saxon England, which has been in circulation since the 1970s, was recently rebranded as Early Medieval England and its Neighbours during a relaunch conducted by the university press.

Hypothetically Actually Your nobody from nowhere like Me and everybody else you're an alien on a hostile terrestrial planet ... all of life is just an evolutionary dead end, so .. . who's way out? Do you choose their way or yours ??? And you're worried about being stereotypical??? If I can guess where you come from before you tell me that just means you are a stereotype and over simplified like the provincials 😂 it's not a compliment to be called by any country.. It also it puts you on the same peg as some of the worst What hypothetically, if all you had ever seen were criminals that were from another country coming to yours? Alright, so now that's your perception of "those people " That is what stigma gets cast on anybody else that comes from that place So if you happened to be from that country people would already have made up their mind about who they think you are because you come from that place ..... So people hear the name of the country and automatically form judgments before you even meet the person .... Stereotype and stereotyping and stigma because association and grouping 😂😂😂or prejudiced So if you called me by the country that someone just happened to pop a squat and put me here I'd walk away, and you would be talking to yourself I do my best to avoid trends and nationalism and any of that fake identity nonsense.... proffess my sweaty left butt cheek hear it squeak ..... and unless your pride is in your memories and in your choices, aka pride inside Everything else will make you hurt because everything else eventually decays or fails and leaves us .... If you're proud of something you had no choice over, that is called arrogance and narcissistic because you are not right to who you are It's by chance alone that you are you are and where you are .. And you, in the truest sense, are merely an expression, so make sure your being genuine dont live in self-denial 😂😂😂 And still, I can't ever truly mean you because i don't know who is in the body I'm talking to you can't identify beyond me knowing of your expression so it is not so much as in the "who we are... because there is not because there is nobody there .. ... .because there is only something, We don't know what any of it really is We only have a general understanding of how it really all works, and you can argue blind labels, but it's just babbling nonsense it and if you say human and point at yourself or someone else..... That is silly because words don't define objects. Objects define words that help define other words that help describe facts ..... axiums Outline fallacies and underlines the fundamental principles and the material artifact that can It's more like "what we are..... and the thing is Don't be ashamed if you didn't hurt someone But don't be arrogant either ... One way mirror transparency you can see out but you see in ....

@@n0namesowhatblerp362who cares. Racist is just slander and holds no value unless you let it. In fact the same muppets who cry racist are just as guilty, if not more, than those they accuse of. The eastern world has no issue being racist; it’s only a problem in the West that foreigners know and take advantage of. Use their own tactics against them and watch them cry

All of medieval England and her neighbours were white, the ones in England were Angle Saxon (who intermarried with the Britons). Are they planning on changing the name of our country England?; originally Englaland, meaning “Land of the Angles. Shortly before he became the pope, Gregory was in a marketplace in Rome and for sale were some fair haired slave-boys from England. Gregory was told they were pagan Angles and he is reported as saying Not Angles but Angels (Non Angli sed angeli). In 596 he sent a mission to England to convert the English to Christianity. So, at this point the English were already a distinct ethnic group. Could America please keep its’ culture wars to itself, they’re f*king up the whole of the west.
