Oh come on, is that the best you can manage?

Thinking about it, yes, I suppose it is.

What were you expecting from them?

I smell a rat. And I'm a pedantic old git. Nontheless, you will find this is a fair comment.

You quoted the mail as saying this:

When it actually said this:

Quote:

Although their controversial gesture is now regarded as a principled protest from the civil rights era, the Black Power movement was associated with violence and separatism.

Why distort the quote to fit your own agenda?

If you had simply regurgitated some of the comments from the story online, I would have conceded you had a point:

Quote:

What connection does Old Trafford have with the slave trade or the abolition movement? Why does the local council feel the need to spend £15,000 on this piece of tasteless tat in the first place?

or...

Quote:

Why not have a black hand and a white hand linked in a 'handshake'?

I think that the one shown appears to be aggressive and not a passive celebration.

As it is, the extent to which you mangled the meaning of the quote to fit your agenda is revealing. What else do you mangle in order to fit your world view?

Okay, so you don't eat normal food, you eat footwear? Well whatever makes you happy.
