I find the way in which you manage to turn everything into a racial issue, in your quest to prove that racism doesn’t exist, quite incredible.

When have I tried to prove racism doesn't exist. I think you're getting a little paranoid old boy. Time to perhaps lay off the fizzy pop a little!

On topic though, nobody seemingly objected to the relics of a racist being sold! Weird huh.

There's no may about it. He said black people are subhuman. He considered Indians being grouped with them as 'non-white' to be an insult.
