Tonight’s stunning BBC2 documentary unveiled the brutal reality of the deep and widespread involvement of the entire Scottish establishment in the Slave trade .
The shameful behaviour covering decades / centuries has been largely airbrushed from the narrative of Scottish History which is a disgrace that we have all been partly aware of but no more than that
It struck me as I watched aghast that it really is not hard to see the scandalous base racism of 200 years ago passing down the generations and embedding itself into the psyche of this countries establishment and professional classes of modern day Scotland ... and for the last 150 years of so with a different racial target .
What a job there is to erase real modern day Racism from this country.
