Morgan lashed out at Professor Kehinde Andrews' assertion that Britain was a country "built on racism" that had ruined the world. The broadcaster labelled the attack "baloney."
Professor Andrews, an academic in Black Studies at Birmingham City University, told an intransigent Morgan on his breakfast show Good Morning Britain: "[Churchill] was someone who believed the white race was superior, the natives didn't have any right to their lands in the Americas, the Indians were a ghastly people and was just a general imperialist racist."
The academic then insisted that Churchill's views on India "were so extreme, they couldn't be separated from Hitler's," quoting Leo Amery, the secretary of India during the early-to-mid 1940s.
Morgan hit back: "If it hadn't been for Winston Churchill - hey we all have flaws - I think we probably wouldn't have had the stomach to take on Hitler."
The culmination of the heated debate ended with Morgan telling Professor Andrews: "I'm not going to be told to feel ashamed of this country just because you say we are a bunch of racists."
The altercation prompted debate among social media users on Twitter, with some rejecting the notion Britain was inherently racist and instead blamed narrow-minded individuals. While others told how they, as people of colour, in today's Britain, receive racist abuse.
While Churchill has passed into history as a fearless prime minister who vehemently opposed Nazi Germany, he is also blamed for a litany of imperialist policies that led to the deaths of millions and the continued colonial repression of millions more.
Most notably, Churchill is accused of allowing an estimated 3 million Indians to starve in Bengal when famine struck in 1943. According to Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen the famine was triggered by Churchill's decision to transport Bengal-produced grain to British soldiers fighting in Greece, rather to feed the local population.
Churchill rejected calls to supply the starving people, who lived under British rule, saying the population bred "like rabbits" anyway. The wartime leader also refused any offer of aid to the beleaguered Indians from the US and Canada, leading the then British secretary of state in India to compare him to Adolf Hitler.

Winston's father Randolph was also a notorious homosexual, who married the American Jenny for her money, and she married him for his aristocratic background. Neither Winston nor his brother, who was born in Ireland after Jenny had been estranged from their father Randolph for years, (he later died horribly of terminal syphilis which he caught from some unknown homosexual lover,) and who looked nothing like Winston, it is almost certain neither of them was Randolph's son. The entire family were a bunch of degenerate and vile deviants and sexual perverts who would fuck anything with a penis or a bodily orifice. You may read all about it here: [Link]
Here is a SOTT article about the great bastard Churchill, a psychopath and foul monster who loved to observe the blood, pain and suffering of other people, a racist and advocate of genocide, who lavishly praised Adolf Hitler in Parliament, before he (Churchill) was about to lose his house because of gambling debts, which were paid off by a consortium of rich English Jews, on the condition he become "their man."
Winston Churchill left a legacy of global conflict and crimes against humanity
"I am strongly in favour of using gas against uncivilised tribes, it would spread a lively terror." --Winston Churchill Sunday January 24th 2016 marks the anniversary of the death of one of the...Whenever Churchill toured the bombed East End of London, he was booed, unlike the Queen Mother, who was cheered by the working people of London. He also, along with Roosevelt, another psychopath, signed off on the Morgenthau Plan to deliberately exterminate some 30 million German civilians by starvation after WWII was over. Fortunately, Roosevelt died and Harry Truman put a stop to the Plan.
Churchill in the service of his Jewish financial backers was responsible for the London Blitz, because Hitler at the outset of the war offered a treaty that no civilian areas would be targeted, which Churchill declined. Churchill then began the so-called (by Churchill himself) "Terror Bombing" of German cities from airfields in France, which forced Hitler to invade France via Belgium and the Netherlands to put a stop to it. Hitler had no desire or intention to conquer France until he was forced to. The bombing of London and Coventry was merely retaliation for Churchill's bombing of German cities.
The deaths and suffering of tens of millions of human beings for which he was responsible moved Winston Churchill not in the slightest. They meant less to him than his pet dogs. This man was one of the truly evil monsters of all time.
... You're so full of shit! Do you make it up as you go along? Roosevelt was a pacifist, and had to be pushed, prodded into joining the conflict. As for Churchill, i suppose he was the man for that moment in time to save the Brits from Nazi aggression. As for nitpicking his character, who cares! He was an old fart from a different era than today, and had he not been present in that moment, the world would be a much different place had the Nazis, Japan won.
