    Things aren't always as they seem

    Trigger warning - may upset racists and anti-religionists.



    ...today I discovered the truth: that white man in the photo is, perhaps, the third hero of that night in 1968. His name was Peter Norman, ....

    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

    Bit upset that you included anti-religionists along with racists. Almost like you are suggesting they are the same. I'm sure you are not and it was just a bit lazy.

        Thanks interesting. Strange you had to introduce a truly revolutionary moment by 3 brave men with an implied insult, it seems you don't understand why they did it, proper human love.

          Thanks for that. I too always assumed he was 'just some guy' who happened to be in the photo.

            That's the identity politics the left thrive off of for you. However a great read.

                  I had read this story a few years ago and it was indeed very interesting, and what a decent chap treated very badly.

                  Can't understand why you think those of us who are not religious would be triggered though. What has religion got to do with this?

                    Yeah. It was lazy. Lazy thinking on your part.
