F1 world champ Hamilton has been a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movementand, while he was known for his philanthropy, he amassed much of his wealth through the slave trade.
"All statues of racist men who made money from selling a human being should be torn down! Which one is next? The Brit, 35, has since followed up his comments with another longer post in which he suggested Colston's statue should be replaced with a memorial to the slaves he trafficked. "There's talk of it going into a museum. That man's statue should stay in the river just like the 20 thousand African souls who died on the journey here and thrown into the sea with no burial or memorial.
why does he live abroad, tax evasion? if so he should mind his own business. He is just stiring up trouble, to much money and no sense. Read the history of our country, we were surfs working for rich land owners who didn't give much back, family's starving, slavery?
Why don't he just get the hell out of my country. American history was here long before this punk.
Put them in museums so that history can be taught, not erased
If we are going to start calling out justices for each colour, then lets also release the 'grooming gang report' of the rapes and atrocities committed against young white girls up and down the UK over decades by brown men. Arrest the police & councillors who covered it up.
Its amazing that everyone is now jumping on their moral band wagons. Are they going to bulldoze the following which were all built by slaves.
Oh FFS
Does that include racists of all colors? Does it include any monument built by or honoring those who used other human beings? Bye bye pyramids, Sphynx.....for starters Shall we go full Orwellian and burn books too
Monaco resident who built a personal fortune with payments from companies that profited from 20th C death camps and slavery says what? When will Hamilton make a public apology and divest payments from Mercedes and Boss to anti-racism causes?
Lewis why don't you try Googling Mercedes Benz and the nazis.
Did he just assume their identity ? Tut tut Lewis.
doesn't he live in Monaco?
And terrorists ? Nelson Mandella
And what, put up statues of George Floyd and Michael Brown?!
Might want to look into the history of Mercedes then Lewis...
Let's go all the way and Burn The Books!!!
And dig up karl Marx?
Let's start with Nelson Mandela then.
Paid millions by Mercedes who used Jewish slaves in their factories during WWII before sending them off to concentration camps to be executed. I assume LewisHamilton will denounce them and leave the team?
Piss off and get another earring or tattoo
Tax exile speaks
LewisHamilton get a life its our history. Where do you want us to start ? Says Lewis who dont pay any contribution towards this country. No way should any memorial come down.
So racist women are acceptable? 🤔🤪
Stick to your racing. 👍 👍
The left want to tear down historical and cultural symbols they deem 'racist', supported by Mercedes-Benz F1 driver Lewis Hamilton. Maybe we should also tear down companies that have racist origins, or supported the Nazis.
That's deleting history those status are are reminder of how bad people used to be and how we should be nice to one and other and not be rasict and treat every with fairness
Another so called celebrity who’s not done their research doh 🙄
بر عکس آنها بایستی بمانند تا ما گذشته را بهتر بشناسیم؛ حداقل از حال خود شرم کنیم
Nazism was part of Germany 'history!' I don't see statue of Adolf Hitler or any of his cohorts on display anywhere in Germany or in the world. Why then does British people glorify their 'history' of SlaveTrade (murder and inhumane treatment) of black people? Remove ALL statues
Get a grip nob head! 😤
So when is LewisHamilton leaving Mercedes as he has spoken out he wouldn’t want to be a Hypocrite German owned and we all know what Germany used to be best pick another team
Another deluded black man with a chip on his shoulder.
But you don't have a statue LewisHamilton !.....😉🤣
He has denied his say because he doesnt pay...
Lewis fuck to Monaco were you live
Lewis can we assume that on the same point of principal that you won't be renewing your contract with MB, given their founders DB were massive supporters of the most evil racists in human history? And If not why not? Or are you just another bandwagon jumping hypocrite.
Karl Marx
Pay your taxes in UK and then I might give you some consideration.
Says Lewis Hamilton, a man who lives in Monaco so he doesn’t have to pay taxes in the UK. Like Lineker, who tried to squirrel away his money in a tax avoidance scheme, they share a lot of opinions for people doing their level best to avoid contributing to the national purse.
Here's a statue of a racist, terrorist man that needs ripping down Lewis.
Has anybody asked Lewis, in the MSM, about his MercedesAMGF1 connection? Probably not, spoils the narrative. Fair and balanced arguments, the foundation’s of a sound society, not in this world.
Ridiculous tell him to shut up
Says a guy who doesn’t even live in the UK.
Say Hamilton the hypocrite who gets paid millions by Mercedes Benz who used Jewish prisoners has slaves to build cars for them, I think Hamilton needs to give his millions to the survivors and their families of the holocaust.
Probably the most white industry going...
From his tax evasion base in Monaco! Fck Off Hamilton!
Mercedes Benz were Adolfs car of choice for his lavish lifestyle So many references to the Nazis today, it's actually like no one understands history, or thinks before they speak.
And what will we put up in there place? Another Mosque perhaps? 🤔
Remember the last time he piped up,, a tv apology wasn’t it ,,, 😂😂
But happy to drive cars for a company that heavily supported the Nazi's. You could not make up the hypocricy of these people.
Why come out now and say it. His employers used slave labour during WW2 to make armaments. His employers didn't care how many suffered. How is Hamilton still working for such a racist company. Close it down.
Should he give the money back he earned promoting Hugo Boss , this is all getting ridiculous now
All the hypocrites coming out of the wood work now.
Yes but........back in the day slavary was accepted and much of the global economy was fuelled by the sweat of slave Labour, forced labour and exploited workers working in terrible conditions. Our modern life came directly or indirectly from human exploitation
Who the hell cares what Lewis Hamilton says?
Sexist as well as racist? 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Says the man driving for Mercedes who had absolutely no role in WW2 for Nazi Germany
Oh dear Lewis, you seem to have forgotten the role Mercedes played during the war.... today you are Twitters EpicFail
Ok we can just dump gold in a sand box and have 197 different national kids dig it all up. Now if we can find a 197 nation Mutt... this might take generations. Any pure bloods who want to make a jesus soul genie for a magic 197 nation gold lamp due for like 300 years from now?
Stick to driving you car bruv
Literally. Let's just take it all into that bunker that Obama didn't visit. Good place to leave it all. Now if we can find a gold mine where little kids can uncover enough gold to make a magic lamp for a genie soul. Because kids aren't racist. Oh shit. Child labor is racist.
Who wants to be Genie? I'm hiring electric skateboard Aladdin for this live action movie called erase all history of the world. There go the terracotta soldiers. Bye Confucius. You're kidding mate? Society, always racist. Centuries of glorified leaders fit for racist diplomacy.
No discernible talent other than driving very fast and polluting the planet.
Let's toss all the gold and diamonds before slave labor laws came into effect too. Lol you're kidding right? There goes all the hindu shrines covered in gold leaf. Where do we begin Lewis? Just show me and I'll get on it.
Okay we can start with burying the tombs of king Tut lol
Rip up your contract buddy. Daimler-Benz was part of the Nazi war machine (albeit apologising after)
George Washington had slaves. Is he proposing to pull down all of those memorials too?
Remove honours from people who dont put their money back in to help this country.
corporations that were in existence during World War II and that are documented to have profited from participation in the Holocaust, your employer Mercedes Benz is on this list Mr Hamilton
Even though I dont agree with him, I can understand why LewisHamilton wants statues of people who took part in the slave trade taken down. What I cant fathom though is how he can drive for Mercedes given their history in the 1930s/40s when they used forced labour?
If he feels that strongly about slavery why does he work for a firm that used slave labour during WW2? Hypocrite!!
Lewis Hamilton is paid £Millions by German owned Mercedes Benz who during WW2 used Jewish Slave labour in their factories before being eventually sent to their deaths in Concentration Camps. Wears brands that made clothes for the SS
Another celebrity jumping on the bandwagon
Says the tax exile.
What a dick 😤
Another on who won’t be getting nominated for sports personality of the year then 👍🏻
Great driver. Complete dick.
Fool!!
BorisJohnson Number10press 10DowningStreet UKParliament UKHouseofLords HouseofCommons Conservatives
If you paid tax in England people may pay attention... LewisHamilton
Are you sure those statues of 'racist men' and the person they represent really racist or it was the product of the minds of their enemies. Give your proof that they are racist.
If it wasn’t for the racist “slave traders”, Lewis would be running around in Africa with a bone through his nose, chasing antilopes.
Who the fuck he think he is ? You cant destroy UK history
Tax Avoider who drives for Mercedes! Mercedes, and the Nazi’s do your research. Will he give up his seat Hypocritical c*nt!
Pay the taxman and perhaps people might listen
Hope he leaves Merc Benz.....during WW2 they used Jewish slave labour, before they were moved to the death camps. Wouldn’t want to be employed by a company that used slaves.....
That must include Ghandi right?
Did he see the people of Hoddesdon today ? Not a million miles from Stevenage ? Wankerous excuse for a man.
Surprised LewisHamilton isn't calling for Universities in the UK, that financially benefited from slavery in gifts to be ripped down. Let alone the Pyramids, Colosseum, Acropolis..etc Even DavidLammy who went Harvard, its past is based on slavery.. be consistent Lewis
You'll end up with no statues left.
Is that from his home in Monaco ?.
And what about the Pyramids built by slaves?
Ludicrous. Put up plaques teaching the history. Don't erase history. Use the statues to teach, why the statue is there, how we have moved forward. It's a teaching moment. Don't throw history that was good, with what was awful because this generation are too weak to handle it.
Selective Hypocrisy is not a good look
That’s a bit sexist Lewis why only racist men?
Tax exile who drives a car built on the backs of jewish slave labour supports mob rule
So is Lewis Hamilton saying only men can be racist that definitely is a sexist comment.
And who gets to decide who's racist and who's not the mob.?
Since when did he give a toss about anyone else but himself?
That’s racist.
Yasssss! Let's do it!!!
😂😂😂
He thinks he’s far more important than he actually is.
Be better to rip down stupid race tracks
Who does he work for 😂
✌️ Another overpaid celeb 🙄
Why is he inciting racial hatred?
I am not a racist but if your views are such that this county’s history disgusts you so much the world is a free place to live where you want to
If he paid his fcuking taxes I'd take him more seriously
Hamilton , Joshua and and other black celebs that want statues pulling down want to check there history to just were the slave trade started and what colour started the trade
That's basically, let's be honest, every statue of any man, let's tear down women's statues just in case they hate men?
That’ll be Gandhi and Mandela first then .
Pretty sexist though
17 century Africa isn’t only colonialists by British Asia africa Many countries . If everyone countries start to protest about it. What will happen to Uk .,past is past . Don’t bring it to present..if Uk did treated as racist to people. You would not be famous person in formula
Including Nelson Mandela the terrorist?
Let’s ask the government if you’d like to contribute to the tax pot in this country?.
Gandhi first?...
Someone stills alive who lived in 17 century To talk about slavery , if someone has alive the person only has a right to talk about slavery..35 years old Lewis Hamilton has any experience about 420 years ago. ..famous people should mislead the people destroy the world..
One statue down then all down, don’t want to see any favouritism, racist man / woman & everything in between ... Bye Nelson!
Some of ' these racists 'made britain great !! To pull their statues down is not the solution for your problems .
Says the man who loves this country so much he lives abroad so he doesn’t have to pay his tax
Another multi millionaire tax dodging cretin that can't help himself telling the rest of us what's morally right 🤐
Shut up Lewis moan moan moan
Stick with the driving and keep your opinions to yourself. You forget that most statues in other country’s were built by slaves so do we rip them down. What about the African chief who sold there enemies to Arabs who then went on to sell them to slave traders.
C ock
Just men? Isn't that sexist?
I'm sure he won't cry too much if Mandela's statue is first.
Gandhi already been scrawled on
And the band played walzing Mathilda , because it's all History ! Just start to live in the Future , with all we know ! To do it better Today ! Because the Racisme or Hate is every where Down the Globe ! 🌋
The multi millionaire will be telling us he is oppressed next
History is history. You cannot erase it. Generations learn from it good or bad. Without history the human race counts as nothing!!
Who decides who is a racist then?
Run back to your tax haven and leave politics to the grown ups.
Says the tax exile.
Did you know on Saturday, right wing have a march, obviously BLM gonna do anti protest. Shit will hit the fan. Either way, glad I don't live in London. Good luck all.
AJ / Hamilton WTF
Let’s just wipe history!!!
Here Here...........
Maybe we should just flatten our entire country and start again because we don’t want to offend someone?
I'm not British, and I didn't know that the British erect monuments to racist people.
What about Staues of Terrorists? Mandela
Lewis Hamilton jumping on the band wagon living in tax haven in Monaco dictating how this country and government conducts themselves.His mother is white wasn't a problem when he was a child,but all of a sudden he wants to cause divisions not unite cultures.We all suffered in past
Another privileged champagne socialist.
How does this help his movement? It doesn’t change the past. By seeing these statues, one is reminded of the mistakes of the past. People also forget that the times in past centuries were very different from today. Defacing and destroying is meaningless.
In the comments is visible the racism deeply establish in the United Kingdom society and specially in the f1 fans.
Typical sexist misogynist. What about “all statues of racist people”. Women have the right to be just as racist as men.
What about the rest of Bristol that was built with his money. Blood money. Pull it all down, schools, churches, the cathedral.
Knobhead
A poster boy for the plutocracy the elites, he's part of their over-indulgent sport.
Wonder if Lewis is paying he taxes in this country I think he should watch the panama papers on tv when it show how he avoided paying taxes
What about Nelson Mandela he was a terrorist
Agree
Lewis Hamilton needs to start paying tax
Yawn
He should stick to being an inspiration to young black boys and stop virture signaling. Everytime he speaks he undermines his credibility.
Please continue protesting and self inflict Virus
Another world champion who I have lost respect for.
So basically wipe out history up to now then because most history is bad in a way right back to the stone ages
Pay your taxes in England or shut up you have no say
Do all these sportsmen realise what they’re doing to themselves? 🙄
If what happened never happened would the statues still be getting pulled down
When you live and pay taxes in our country, then you can challenge the government with you opinion.
Lewis. Drive cars as fast as you can. Express your opinions at elections.
Tell you what lad pay taxes in the country you were born and we will take you a little more seriously. How is Monaco this time of year
Nelson Mandela was a racist terrorist let's have that one first
I think we should rip down these statues... 😏
Words of wisdom from LewisHamilton from his penthouse in Monte Carlo!
What about the charities, hospitals, universities etc. Have they to get pulled down too? We are still benefiting from their legacy.
Hamilton is not doing himself any favours here
jog on... and leave our history alone... this is going way to far now...
Pay your tax and they think about it
NathanEllis2
Another plum
🙄 OMFG, another millionaire trying to tell us what to do.
All white men than apparently
Thick as pig shit is our LewisHamilton. Give him a multimillion pound car to play with happy; ask him about how many slave traders there were and are in the world,..or! muderous bastards with statues then he’s going to have a lot of marble and bronze to flog secondhand. Sheesh!
I call on all tax dodging millionaires to return to the country if they want an opinion on it.....
Get stuffed as these matter too
Lewis I'm a big fan ..but please shut up .
🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵 🚗 🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Grew up in the Stevenage “hood”.
I've got a message for LewisHamilton We are the keepers of our heritage, warts 'n' all. Learned behaviour shape people's attitudes, not statues.
Yet another so called celeb on the bandwagon
Tax avoiders have no business telling our Government anything. Cough up Lewis.
What a plonker!! You’ve got too much money Hamilton it’s going to your head.
Better start with Gandhi's statue then.
And so they should, abusers should not be put on a pedestal
He’s the most disliked driver in F1 the only time he’s civil is when he wins I couldn’t work with him .
Whilst driving for a a German company who's history in wars are obvious
Tell him to Foxtrot Oscar the bell end .
jpdmufc this guy... 😖👎 I just found out I’m a Max fan after all! 😃🙌🖕
Who defines who was racist?
can i use 1 of gordon ramsey fav saying ? guess what it is
The law according to Hamilton.A really dumb statement
BLM (or the far left who have hijacked the movement) are already progressing to the next phase.
Tax avoider wants wrong doing people punished.
Start with Malcolm X...... Get the Dozer ready we gotta flatten the Pyramids built on slavery.
Let’s hope one of these white racist F1 mechanics don’t temper with your breaks i’d be devastated if you hit a concrete wall at 200 mile an hour
I give it about 4 weeks till we have a huge race riot!! I feel sorry for the kids that have been brought up to not be racist and be normal, having to witness this war that is inevitably going to happen, RIP England
Ok then, lets start with nelson mandela
Does that mean nelson Mandela statue will be coming down aswell, or is it just at the people who where racist towards black people that bother him?
What about women?
I'm guessing he just means statues of racist White men? Not racist black men? Because that would also constitute as racism too no?
When you Pay your Taxes !
who decides whos racist? millionaire f1 drivers?
