re: You stupid white people

I looked up the Lifeline Expedition, the or on their shirts. They're British-based weenies of the highest order.

The Lifeline Expedition began as a reconciliation journey linking the European and African nations along the Greenwich meridian line (zero longitude.)

The first Lifeline Expedition journey was the Jubilee 2000 Lifeline Walk in England. During the course of that journey, it became evident that the major reconciliation issue between Europe and Africa, was that of the legacy of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

In 2002, a team of 20 from the three corners of the former slavetriangle, Europe, West Africa and the Caribean, travelled through France. For the first time the slave coffle was used, with white Europeans and Americans walking in replica yokes and chains as a symbolic sign of apology for the slave trade.

In 2003, the Lifeline Expedition visited Spain and Portugal and another new feature was added: copies of the apology statement for the slave trade, issued at the last Liverpool City council meeting of 1999, were delivered to city halls. It was requested that councils consider making similar statements for their cities.

The Lifeline Expedition in USA in 2004 received wide coverage in the media, partly because of the opposition of right wing white supremacist groups. Highlights included partnering with the Kunta Kinte-Alex Haley Foundation at a commemorative event in Annapolis, Maryland and partnering with Richmond City Council and other groups in a three day "Program for our Collective Healing."
