    So why did they declare the pub black only then?

    That's fine. They can bitch all they want. That doesn't mean they should shut up because others have it worse.

    Know how to make black on black crimes look like a nice day at the beach? Look at Rwanda genocide.

    Why? Because the English town of Bamber Bridge in Lancashire was not segregated so they treated the black soldiers like all other races, aka blacks were free to eat, drink anywhere, BUT back in America segregation of blacks and whites still existed. So essentially the American army went to someone else’s country and demanded they adopted America’s racist practices��

    The folks in Lancashire were like hell no we like the black soldiers in fact during that time the American created Jitterbug dance was popular and the British women were eager to learn it from the black soldiers. The fondness for the black American soldiers was also supported by those famous essays written by George Orwell who stated that the black American soldiers had the best manners of all the American troops.

    So when the American Military police found out that their own black American soldiers were drinking at the same pubs as white people they went in to arrest them. The people in the town got mad about the treatment of the black soldiers and decided to then turn their pubs into “BLACKS ONLY DRINKING PUBS” the very opposite of what was taking place in America with their WHITES ONLY businesses.

    Hey dumbfuck, I asked you for a quote from your article, not a doctoral dissertation. You are rapidly approaching Evince territory.

    I'm trying to figure out where you got the passage in your OP. I just read the full article, and much of the OP was not in the actual article. The events seem to somewhat match up, but the wording is quite different.

    You're not alone in trying to figure out anything out of OP.

    Well, black on black crime isn't something that people seem to care enough about to protest over.

    I've read a lot of his posts, and I haven't seem him lie before. He usually gets things right.

    I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I suspect he may have been quoting a different article on the same event.
