obviously there were many english slaves over the years... in scandenavia and the ottoman empire

Not because it "ended slavery"

and Ireland :^]

Eh

The Empire ending slavery did more for the world than "extolling martial power"

Who said I give a shit about the world?

I know you don't.

My sweet edgy boi.

this was the article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51177299

The British Empire was good precisely because it helped most of the world through modernisation of the countries it colonised

I hate the way they seperate out black British people tbh.

@wacka Desensitisation for the public to accept their replacement

British history is British.

End of.

They arent British

They arrived post 48'

Yes they are

No

Blacks existed in the UK before 48'

If they were born here and raised here then they are British

In how few numbers?

Race has nothing to do with it

One of the guys who led the British charge to abolish slavery was Black.

Cope

"In 1833, the UK parliament passed a law to finally outlaw slavery in the British Empire. The catch? In order to persuade slave owners, the government had to pay £20m in compensation for the loss of their "property".

That bailout to slave owners amounted to 40% of the country's national budget at the time, or £2.4bn in today's money. The debt wasn't fully paid off until 2015."

Leohte we do cope with you but lord you make it hard.

@Kunarian Wow I love goat curry thanks to that little tidbit you provided

Yes, the population of blacks in Britain prior to 48' was no more numerous than 5000

Can we add Leohte to that strawpoll that was pinned?

But they are endemic to all of our history

I imagine that was pulled out of your arse.

Im pretty sure 40% of our budget is more than 2.4bn

You can imagine what you want, Marxist.

@wacka The big brains don't realise that sometimes talking softly works better than using the big stick.

Ah yes.

If I'm not racist or hating Jews I'm a Marxist.

The government budget before the first world war was tiny @wacka

it inflated even more after ww2

Marxism has a very low barrier to entry nowadays.

I thought you had to actually believe in Marxism silly me.

right but they say.. its the equivalent today as 2.4bn
