@generatorman_ai @VectorOfBasis @deepfates @elonmusk We are mainly afraid to recognise, we ( our consciousness ) might not be that special. That would be a hard truth to swallow and it would affect our will to move forward. Or we are in a simulation discovering our true nature again and again. Living our baby steps. Again and Again

@ChiemelaChimao1 if it were no western "policy" you would still be living in huts and died at 35.

@zackomondijr I have made a complaint and asked to explain if that request has been satisfied.

[The Patternologist @patternologist]

@zackomondijr I was on the call with NHS staff in a certain radiology department and I will heard another phone conversation what they said: " yes, I understand. You don't want any Christians or Jews". I have made a complaint which has yet to be responded after 2 months.

On behalf of the British people, I would like to apologise for the slave trade. I am sorry we were the first great power in history to turn its guns on it. I am sorry it cost us around 2,000 sailors to free 150,000 people they would never meet. I am sorry the rest of the world took so long to follow.

Slavery did not begin with Britain. It is as old as civilisation. Babylon wrote it into law. Rome built an empire on it. The Vikings sold Englishmen through the slave market at Dublin. In 1625 Barbary corsairs took 60 men, women and children out of a Cornish church; by 1640 Parliament was told 3,000 to 5,000 English people were held in Algiers alone.

Every great power of the age took part in the Atlantic trade. Portugal and Spain for a century before an English ship did. Then the Dutch, the French — and the British, who in the eighteenth century carried more than anyone. That is the record. It is not disputed here.

Then a nation turned on the trade that had made it rich.

Wilberforce's bill was beaten year after year. On 25 March 1807 it passed. Then Britain did the part the critics never mention — it sent the Royal Navy to enforce it. The West Africa Squadron sailed in 1808, two ships for 3,000 miles of coast, and hunted slavers for nearly sixty years. Britain paid Spain and Portugal to open their ships to search. HMS Black Joke ran down the slaver El Almirante in 1829 and found 466 people in her hold.

Around 2,000 British sailors died doing it — most of fever, to free people they would never meet. 1,600 slave ships seized. 150,000 Africans set free.

In 1833 Parliament borrowed £20 million to end slavery across the Empire. The debt was not finally redeemed until 2015. The United States needed a civil war. Cuba held slaves until 1886. Brazil until 1888 — eighty-one years after Westminster voted.

Yes, we took part in the trade. Every power of the age did. None of them fought it like we did.

So yes. I will apologise. I am sorry it cost us so much. I am sorry the rest of the world took so long to follow.

That is not something you apologise for. That is something you teach.

@Chetuyachinago Baloney. The world owes the British a huge debt raising the whole world out of abject poverty into civilization.

[Kelly @Kelly45329759]

@Chetuyachinago The inconvenient truth is that Britain is a rich country because it has an educated, inventive & aspirational population & centuries of institutional stability. Many ex Colonies have replicated this success. Africa’s problems are cultural, nothing to do with white people.

[Ryan J Leask @ryanleask]

@Chetuyachinago How come places like African who had much more slaves over a far longer time period didn’t become super rich, but somehow Britain did on a far smaller number over a far shorter time?

[Karolina @Karolina_dr1]

@Chetuyachinago Why don’t you ask reparations from the African leaders who helped Arabs to slave trade their own people??🥴🥴🥴
And the ironic thing is that this is happening even today…😝

[Global Perspective @GlobalPOVs]

To write so much yet totally ignore your own role in and full acceptance of slavery is breathtaking.

Slavery was the way things were 200 years ago. In Africa human sacrifice and cannibalism were also common in West Africa and along the Congo river.

However thanks to European enlightenment these things are now quite rightly seen as abhorrent.

200 years ago Britain banned slavery. It paid slave owners to immediately give slaves their freedom and their children were born free. So the money paid to slave owners benefited those most directly affected by slavery .. the slaves themselves.

Empire building was also something that was millennia old. Even the greatest Africans in history practiced it…. The Pharoahs, Manu Musa and Shaka. The Ottoman and British Empires are only the last 2 examples of a long history.

Again after WW1 and the founding on the League of Nations by Europeans ( again ) locking in the borders of nation states became a key pathway to global peace. So again Britain realised that Empire had run its course.

You glaringly imply that Britain was only wealthy because of ‘plunder’ and slavery … totally ignoring the foundations of government, science, invention and capitalism that underpinned its rise and that of the world.

The hollowness of your whole argument is best exhibited by South Africa 🇿🇦

The Cape was settled in the 17th century. The indigenous population was the Hottentot not black Bantu.

It was only in 1850 with rising tensions between Afrikaners and the British that white folk moved inland.

The people they encountered had no written language, no use of the wheel and not one structure higher than a single storey.

Within 144 years they had built the most advanced and industrialised country in Africa. It has the deepest mine in the world, the biggest single chemical complex in the Southern Hemisphere, a vehicle industry turning out BMWs and Mercedes, a world class financial services sector, nuclear power, a strong arms industry, world class universities and a transportation sector of first world standards.

Black folk from neighbouring ‘independent’ countries flooded in for work.

If that is plunder then your dictionary is vastly different to mine.

Unfortunately since 1994 we have seen a reversal in momentum….

If anyone’s argument collapses on analysis it’s yours.

Your backward looking grievance politics is exactly why Africa is where it is. You are the problem not the solution.

@MikeHart @Inevitablewest You'd love a broken up EU. Much easier for Russia to control it.
