@johnkitching2248 Isn't the 'racism' actually promoted by those who made this false claim in the first place, simply to promote an agenda?

@johnkitching2248 Oh dear! As my old Professor at University often said 'When people resort to insults, it is usually because they have no argument.' Explain this :- What is racist about pointing out that a BBC 'historian' falsely claimed that a woman from Roman times, who actually came from Cyprus, came from Sub-Saharan Africa?' Has Cyprus been moved since the second century? Even the BBC has admitted that the claim was false. What is 'racist' about stating a fact, or is your need to fling out the term simply an attempt to shut down discussion?

@johnkitching2248 Because, little chap, it contains allegations without supporting evidence. Specifically 1). That I am a troll. 2). That I am a racist. Try this for an analogy. My day job is as a naval historian (I have a First in Modern History). If I came across an article claiming that, for example, the Imperial Japanese Navy won the Battle of Midway, and I immediately pointed out the absurdity of the claim, would the pointing out of that fact make me an anti-Japanese racist? Olusoga's claims about Beachy Head Lady have been demonstrated, by DNA analysis carried out by the Crick Institute, to have been equally absurd. How does me pointing that out make me, in your imagination, a racist?

Has the BBC's race propagandist of choice, David Olusoga, who presented a whole programme promoting this outright lie, been approached for comment?
