Black lives DID matter to Churchill whatever the Wokerati claim, says CAROLE MALONE – Daily Express

Theres barely a week goes by when our greatest wartime leader isnt slated as a racist and a tyrant by people who have no idea what he achieved and no understanding of history or of the times in which he lived.

This was a man who defeated fascism and who had the guts to take on Hitler at a time when many in our own government wanted to appease him.

But Churchill refused and because of his courage, his steadfastness we won the war.

Poll after poll shows that, despite his flaws and yes, he had some Churchill is, and always will be, a national hero. Yet Lefties are forever trying to make us all ashamed of him because they refuse to see history in context or understand the nuances of it.

It emerged this week that the latest attack on him happened at a Remembrance Day Service at the Imperial War museum.

Yep, you read that right. A bunch of teens from a youth music group were allowed to perform a vile rap song about racism, white privilege and Churchill immediately after a two-minute silence to commemorate our war dead.

Its beyond belief that at a service to commemorate those who died for our freedoms some idiot woke boss at the museum gave the go-ahead for those teenagers to insult the man whose leadership made those freedoms possible.

How dare they! And how dare the Imperial War Museum. Of course, the museum has since apologised, but that means nothing the damage has been done.

Heads should roll over this. Many people at the service walked out in disgust and even museum staff were shocked because they had no idea what was coming.

So who allowed it? Who green-lighted this vile insult not just to Churchill but to our war dead. And why havent they had the guts to own up?

A Remembrance Day Service is not the time or the place to callChurchill a racist.

Dont these idiots who trash him and other historical figures understand that you cannot apply 21 st century values and beliefs to the behaviour of people who lived and died in different times? Churchill was born in 1874 when Queen Victoria still had 27 years left on the throne.

You cant put right the wrongs of the past by trying to erase history and by heaping abuse on the people who made it. History has to be learned from.

Yes, Churchill made comments about people of colour that wouldnt be acceptable today, but he made even more denigrating remarks about Europeans that would be equally unacceptable.

The fact is that throughout his life he fought to protect the non-white people in British territories. He considered it his duty to improve the lot of the empires native peoples. So yes, black lives DID matter to Winston Churchill.

But of course actual facts dont matter to the Wokerati. Their minds areso closed they dont understand that you cant rip historical figures out of their context and expect them to have the views and values on race that exist today. The whole point about history is that we evolve and Britain has.

Yes, there is always a debate to be had on how history has unfolded the rights and wrongs of it but a Remembrance Day service isnt the place to do it.

But of course, asking these people to rationally debate history would expose the fact they know little or nothing about it. So they take to the streets instead to deface statues and trash reputations, completely failing to understand that what people thought, and how they acted a hundred years ago, wont be erased by their violence.

And neither will Churchills courage, his heroism or our respect for what he did!
