David Hume was a brilliant philosopher but also a racist involved in slavery – Dr Felix Waldmann

David Hume advised his patron, Lord Hertford to buy a slave plantation, facilitated the deal and lent £400 to one of the principal investors. And when criticised for racism in 1770, he was unmoved, writes Dr Felix Waldmann

Derrick May next?

and Carl Craig doing himself no favours

 

[Benny Bunter]

Be interesting to see how resident advisor et al deal with it - nothing so far.

What's Carl Craig up to?

 

[Benny Bunter]

I think he's been defending his buddy on twitter then locked his account or something?

 

[luka]

Defending them from what

 

[Benny Bunter]

Serial rapist accusations

A lot of squirming and scrambling & arse covering going on basically

 

[luka]

That's quite heavy

 

[luka]

I've never raped anyone and I can categorically say I'm against it

 

[luka]

If anyone is waiting for my views on rape let me come out boldly and say I stand against it 100%. It's really really bad.

 

[Benny Bunter]

Very heavy by the look of it. So many enablers involved.

derrick may has long been portrayed as a "ladies man", sad to hear the rape accusations.

separately, I just saw some social comments from Marshall Jefferson defending trump, geez.

I can accept the argument if we cancel everyone from history. No exceptions. And destroy all statues, rename all buildings, streets etc and just number them or assign generic nondescript names.

A select few producers here and there have done that. Instant cancellation follows.

I think part of the reluctance for RA etc to mention it so far is that the journalist who is breaking the story is Ash Lauryn, who is a freelance contributor to most of the big dance websites, and there's been attempts to discredit her.

I mean it doesn't reflect well on them that they haven't addressed it yet but no doubt there's certain legalities involved etc

Reminds me of that article from a few years ago - 'Beatings by Dre'. Quality pun but depressing subject matter.

Better to be accurate than first.

Where do you stand on murder?

 

[Mr. Tea]

Where do you stand on murder?

"Well, it depends, obviously."
