"I fear that some people will now say that David Starkey is right,and you could already see some of them on Twitter. I am worried about a backlash from the right and he will give legitimacy to those views in the minds of some." On the programme, Starkey said: "The whites have become black.

We need to stop talking about them and us."作者: aa00 時間: 2011-8-15 12:39 PM
