Zulu War Battle of Rorke’s Drift Gets BLM-Style Trigger Warning

[rayg]

A picture in the Queen’s collection celebrating the Battle of Rorke’s Drift — one of the proudest moments in British military history — has been given a trigger warning following a Black Lives Matter style review.

For the last 140 years, the painting by Lady Butler, The Defence of Rorke’s Drift, has been left to speak for itself. It shows red-coated, pith-helmeted soldiers heroically defending their mission station redoubt as vast hordes of Zulu warriors — off-screen — threaten to overrun them and disembowel them with their assegais.

But now, at the insistence of the Royal collection’s governing Trust, the painting has been relabelled to warn viewers of its potentially offensive connotations: “connected to colonialism and Imperialism”.

The girlie men have taken over.

The girlie men have taken over.

That too, but mainly it's the haters of their own race & culture, like Togor.

What's the chance, do you think, that another tag will be added pointing out that the Zulus were the most aggressive tribe in Africa at that time, pushing weaker tribes off their lands in all directions?

CH if you think I am even remotely among your problems then you are spending way too much time online.

If Togor is now a Moderator, how do I apply for a refund of my $25 contribution?

Too many Chiefs and a dwindling number of Indians.
