And "wont" should have an apostrophe.

Just yanking. 
 

Honestly, it's not you punctuation just the content of your posts that needs addressing.

Stating that people of colour were more likely to die of a disease is not 'racism' - it's a medical fact.

erm no it  isnt  - sozza andy, you are mature enough to beable to stand direct criticism

there is analysis of 145 dead of the Black Death(1) ( Pasteurella Pestis but they didnt know at  the time)(2) - their conclusion (3) was that the distribution was skewed as a result of colour (4)

1 and 2 are facts, possibly 3 is

4 is an opinion

yes I know I am out on a limb as usual but i used to read medical papers as part of my job

Was it not obvious it was about your rainbow people, Julie ?

Next thing is the Cornish Woke Party will want to rename Blackwater....

On a wider national basis, there's Blackpool, Blackheath, Blackburn, Blackboys, Blackmoor, Blackhill, Blackwell etc to be renamed - Blackpool to 'Schittpool' perhaps?

Is anyone suggesting that is is the word 'black' in black death that makes it racist? If they have, I've missed it.

quote: Why did they call the Black Death the Black Death?

Because most people who got the plague died, and many often had blackened tissue due to gangrene, bubonic plague was called the Black Death. A cure for bubonic plague wasn't available.
