you didnt say it. However, I hear that a lot as if heritage doesnt split both ways in this subject.

I don't expect the British to scrape off every connection to the government of the time. I would rather people just talked about what happened.
you have a point, but you certainly dont want to be constantly reminded of the horrors im sure.

I don't mind the reminders. It is where we came from. I am a huge history buff and I understand that not everyone is. To me, you would do more to donate that money to a cause for the advancement of black people than to pay it for the right to scrape words of the front of an almost 100 year old building. Everyone wants to hide from the past and I don't like it. When Muslims in Afghanistan destroyed the old Buddhist statues the world went in a panic. Those statues truly offended the Afghans. But I wish they had left them up anyway.
