One of my favourite things in is the St Jan's Kerk in Gouda. On one side of the Church, you have a set of stained glass windows from about 1560 showing how the brave and noble King Phillip II of Spain protected the honest and pious Catholic burgers of Gouda against those beggarly pirate upstarts, the Protestant rebels. On the other side, a set of stained glass windows from about 1580 showing the heroically outnumbered defenders of the Vaderland protecting the honest and pious Calvinist burgers of Gouda against that cruel and blood-stained Catholic tyrant, King Philip II of Spain.

Think it will be shown live, will post link when my secret informant gets it. [ie When I steal it from the Athletics Weekly website].

But don’t forget the easy, logical & consistent Golden Rule: Huckleberry Finn is racist badthing because it uses the AAVE of 1840. Tom & Jerry cartoons are racist badthing because they use the AAVE of 1940-1950. A newspaper article is racist badthing because it it does NOT use the AAVE of 2024. See? Simple.
