Dear anonymous white guys:
1) Yes, Churchill was a white supremacist;
2) Yes, really;
3) Because he said he was;
4) No, ‘everyone’ wasn’t racist ‘back then’;
5) People ‘back then’ said he was racist
6) I said all this in the article you got cross about without reading!

👍 Feel free to enjoy Gary Oldman’s portrayal of Churchill but don’t forget his problematic past
The man who took part in ‘jolly little wars against barbarous people’ and claimed to have shot three ‘savages’ also defended the use of concentration camps in South Africa and the use of poison gas against ‘uncivilised tribes’
It is worth reading some of Raw’s replies on Twitter too:
