Brits: "We didn't enslave anyone. That was the Americans." Is colonialism really any better than slavery?

@FreeSpirit1 Exactly!!

@Roundandroundwego I said nothing about Hawaii.

I do believe that the Hawaiians killed Captain Cook in an unprovoked attack though.

@Muthafukajones all colonization was about the same - Lord Jeffrey Amherst shot Indians from horseback and making English the only language actually happened in the USA.

@Roundandroundwego The United States has no official language. Your examples are highly specific to the United States. Your bias is obvious. Consider colonization on the global scale and open your mind to the modern repercussions of colonization. It was both a good and a bad thing. Consider the issue more fully.

@DeluxedEdition https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Abolition-Of-Slavery/

british people just need some sort of leverage to be able to prove that they are somehow superior to america. which considering their failure of a healthcare system (yes, i am aware that americas system needs improvement), dropping current exchange rate, high percentage of taxes, and democrat idealism prioritization I don't see what's so great about it.

@DeluxedEdition

@InOtterWords And what would anyone want of this.

@llloydfred they can learn from their history, they can accept their country's role in the development of racism in america and work at being part of the solution

@InOtterWords Racism in America will never stop amongst people, as long there is choice, But God will forgive and take his own. Racism is biblical. We just have to accept it and act better. This has nothing to do with countries and 400 years bs or Pay Me selfishness for my forefathers (what ever).. if that be the case call 1800 Prejudice Countries Slavery (LOL) no retainer needed.

@SW-User Arab and Orient african slave trade also

abid

@llloydfred mostly people voted to end slavery, long ago. Progress was natural, back then.

@Roundandroundwego no
