#5  Strange, I thought genocide meant to try to kill off a race. Better call Webster's.

#4  Well, it sort of was in the Caribbean and Central/South America. Death rates were high and survival rates low. The damn English didn't want to waste property and the death rates were marginal compared to those locales.

#3  slavery was not genocide.
Since it goes against the left-wing narrative, it is deemed politically incorrect and heresy.

#2  Today's educational institutions no longer want people like Starkey hanging around. At 75, he's a reminder of the past.

The loss can be marked up to Cambridge. Good on you professor. Time to head north for some fish fresh air and fishing.
