I don't rant much, but that article is a disgrace.

You (and I mean people in general, nobody specific) cannot refer to English people now or in the nineties based on what people were like when the slave trade operated, or even in the eighties. This is what the author is doing. England has changed since then (I should know, I grew up in the eighties and through the early nineties), and I personally refuse to be labelled in the same group as an eighties minority or a group of slave owners who are many decades dead. RBLC is certainly not being over-sensitive, and reacting entirely rightly to a terribly put-together article of low quality and abundant in vitriol. The author is certainly being racist, and it enfuriates me because in England we now constantly have to trip over accusatons that we are racist based on what a minority did in the eighties or people did 200 years ago.

The article has no place or value, and contributes nothing to a good and respected cricketing website, or to international relations and respect IMO, which is sad.
