> While the US argues about whether to tear down monuments to the supporters of slavery, Britain still celebrates the shameful era
> Wilberforce, unquestionably a force for good, helped end, in 1807, Britain’s official involvement in the transatlantic slave trade. But he was not alone. The enormous contribution of black people in Britain at the time – especially activists and writers who were slaves themselves – has no equivalent site of glory, in London or anywhere in the country.
> One of the obstacles all these abolitionists had to overcome was the influence of Nelson, who was what you would now call, without hesitation, a white supremacist.

Eventually as the nations collapse, they will mark the point at where they rejected their past as the reason they lost their future.

Except history books will then be written by kikes and nogs so future generation will never know what happened.

> But the most common sentiment was summed up in this tweet: “Its History – we cant & shouldn’t re-write it – we learn from it. Removing statues would make us no different to terrorists at Palmyra.” Therein lies the point.
> Britain has committed unquantifiable acts of cultural terrorism – tearing down statues and palaces, and erasing the historical memory of other great civilisations during an imperial era whose supposed greatness we are now, so ironically, very precious about preserving intact.

There were no slaves in Britain, owning slaves in Britain was outlawed. What a dumb bitch.

Not necessarily dumb. It had only been 35 years since slavery in Britain had finally been abolished, Is there any reason to doubt that many former slaves became anti slavery activists?

How about the burden of proof is on you? Go find who those activist where and demonstrate what influence they had. Until then, go fuck yourself with your Kangz revisionism.

Would honestly die defending that statue from this bitch and her cronies. My family have served in the navy for generations. These fuckers are going too far.

B-but Britain wouldn't have existed without stronk black men and women > But nothing about this “context” is accessible to the people who crane their necks in awe of Nelson. > The black slaves whose brutalisation made Britain the global power it then was remain invisible, erased and unseen.
Jonathan Smith
If anyone tries it, they regret it. I ain't larping. Like this user said, I would die defending that column. England expects that every man will do his duty.
Angel Campbell
They'd get the shit kicked out of them before they even got close.
Whatever else we may be, the average brit is still fiercely patriotic and proud of our history and culture.
