Librarians Being Told Not to Arrange Meetings in “Racist” Buildings

by Richard Eldred
20 August 2024 3:00 PM

Librarians are being urged to skip meetings in buildings deemed “racist”, as Welsh Labour steps up its mission to “eradicate” systemic racism. The Mail has the story.

Libraries across Wales have been given the task of promoting “anti-racism” as part of a £130,000 project.

Local librarians are being taught “critical whiteness studies” as well as how to deal with problems such as the “dominant paradigm of whiteness”, the Telegraph report.

It comes after Labour’s Welsh Government was accused of “hypocrisy” in March after ministers had been driven hundreds of thousands of miles by chauffeurs despite laws restricting drivers.

Dozens of buildings in Wales, from pubs to community centres, have been added to a list of sites linked to slavery, as per a 2021 Government-backed dossier.

In a document created by the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (Cilip) in Wales, a warning said to be “mindful of the venue and if you have a choice, do not choose a venue that represents a racist legacy”.

It also said: “If you have to use a venue that has a racist past, acknowledge this as early as possible to demonstrate your commitment to systemic issues. 

“You can even acknowledge historical context in the event invitation.”

The Gladstone Library Hotel in Hawarden was spotlighted as a controversial place due to its link to slavery

The Gladstone Library in Hawarden and the Goronwy Owen Primary School in Anglesey were both flagged as examples due to their names linking to slavery.

Worth reading in full.

Stop Press: Visitors to Gloucester Cathedral will be invited to use their mobile phones to learn about how its monuments are linked to slavery, reports the Mail.

White European Civilisation – the most successful ever, at everything, except liking itself, reproducing and defending its borders.

White people who go through life apologizing for being white and women who go through life apologizing for being female ( quite a bit of overlap there, then ), because both camps are cut from the same cloth and love a bit of the old subjugation, annoy the living hell out of me. I absolutely despise them and think what epic wet blankets must you be to harbour attitudes like that and what on earth do you teach your kids? People should just show up, own their sh*t and deal with the stuff that actually matters in our limited time on this plane, and to hell with anyone else who has a problem with you or wants to dwell on what amounts to irrelevant happenings from the distant past. Not irrelevant back then, of course, but I’m wondering just how many of these slavery-obsessed people know that it’s still going on in parts of the world and why don’t they put their energies towards doing something about raising awareness of that, as opposed to the slave trade that they’re focusing on which finished well over a century ago. But it’s the path of least resistance that these pathetic virtue-signaling people take that they’d rather harp on about what happened hundreds of years ago than do anything meaningful and shine a light on modern slavery;

”Slavery is far from a thing of the past. While it has been formally abolished worldwide, tens of millions of people (including an estimated 12 million children) find themselves in heinous and unfair working conditions, trapped in non-consensual marriages, and/or as victims of sexual exploitation. As of the 2021 report by the human rights charity group, Walk Free, as well as estimates by the International Labour Organisation, approximately 50 million people are currently trapped in modern slavery – an increase of almost 10 million people in the last five years. So what countries are the biggest offenders of slavery in the modern era?”

We were even good at the latter once. That’s what you call the Long March through the Institutions and Common Purpose. Or Fifth Column.

There was never a problem with any of this until the “Ho! Ho! Ho Chi Minh!” students of the second half of the 1960s took over. Handing the keys to everything to a bunch of champagne socialists after they had duly eaten chalk to soften their voices was bound to cause problems, especially considering that one of their historic slogans used to be “If you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem!” All the half-fossilized UN leaders of today where dashing young revolutionaries back then.

It’s also simply impossible to have something like “free love”, a euphemism for casual sex with quickly changing partners, as the golden calf of the post-1960-west without universal pregnancy prevention as default choice (usually paid for by the state/ the public health system) and not expect reproduction rates to fall off a cliff as this basically means people will ‘chose’ to avoid having babies until most women will be close to approaching the end of their reproductional shelf lives (so to say) which – even assuming that they can still get pregnant – gives them a lot less life time left for this.

As society, we’re suffering from endemic communist merry shagaround babyboomerism and will likely die out because of this while culture which didn’t fall prey to that, eg, muslims, will take over. Self-introduced reproductional disadvantages work just as nicely as natural ones insofer evolution is concerned.

Labour is to tackle “extreme misogyny.”

As this picture proves here’s a starter for ten.

So… Mary Poppins was racist… “Just a spoon full of sugar…”

Isn’t sugar linked to slavery?

We need to start opening lunatic asylums again for all these psychiatric cases.

If we are such an awful country and people how is it that people from other cultures migrate through many countries to get here, when they could as easily go to countries which share the same religion, and culture as them

Some have even clung to undercarriages risking their lives and often perishing just to get to this “racist” shithole.

Well they’d better keep their filthy mitts off my undercarriage the next time I hop over to the UK! 😮
Meanwhile, nothing says ”I’m a racist terrorist” like this, does it really?

”Another man, Bradley McCarthy, 34, of Knowle West, was also sentenced on Tuesday to 20 months in prison for being “racist and abusive” towards protesters and shouting in a police dog’s face.”

This constant RACIST RACIST RACIST bleating is doing nothing except cause division, and hatred of each other. All of the things that fighting genuine racism was supposed to be about. It has morphed into “Intolerance in the name of Tolerance”. It is on the banner of incomers marching forward to bludgeon the indigenous population into submission.

A simple question…how do inanimate building materials such as stones and bricks acquire their racism?

We need prisons for those pushing this shyte.

But what if the prison building is itself racist?

I know, we could have whites only prisons and ‘coloureds’ only prisons. If that works well we could extend the principle to hotels, offices, lavatories, theatre productions (Oops, Done already) and neighbourhoods.

Oh, hold on…

Off-T

A bit of good news:

https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/kamala-harris-campaign-requires-all-employees-to-get-covid-shot-despite-jab-dangers/

Kamala Harris demanding that all those working in her election campaign are up-to-date with their C1984 “vaccines.”

Hopefully this will see a few off.

Interesting. It will put a fair few black people off I reckon as they were more likely not to take the “vaccines”.

Love to know why you’ve been downvoted for that – surely there’s no one here who wants the Dems to win, so if their workers desert them, it’s a win for us.

Incredible. Pity the poor librarians, just trying to do their job, while endlessly harassed with such Stalinist edicts.

For completeness and clarity, they must list these sites linked to slavery in a separate section called “African Slavery”.

All the mosques and “Islamic Centres” in Wales must be added to the list under a new section called “White Slavery”, so that we all know where to send the bills for our “reparations”.

Dear Norway, Denmark, Sweden (you sort it out, they’re your ancestors).

We want our Danegeld back, plus reparations for the unborn ancestors of all the children you killed. Cash accepted, gold preferred. My finders fee is reasonable.

Sincerely,
England.

Ps, we need it to pay Wales, Scotland and Ireland for our wicked past.

P.p.s. We’ve asked Rome too, but they’re broke after having to pay for the destruction of Carthage.

Utter lunacy.

Can we have the names of the pubs with racist origins? It sounds like they won’t be full of looney lefties.

We used to have a pub in this town named The Black Swan. It was renamed by the locals as the Dirty Duck.

Would that be waycist?

Resulting no doubt in reduced income for these beautiful buildings and seeing that they can no longer function. The Gladstone (St Deniol’s) Library is a wonderful place open to all. It is filled with students from all over the world taking in its calm atmosphere to study. In the long term policy this could lead to its closure. Shame on them……
