Someone is deliberately forgetting their history and the damaging impact of colonialism and slavery.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Who paid black run countries to abolish the slave trade? It was Britain leading that charge. Britain had Indian origin Members of Parliament in the 1890's. Where are the white UK origin politicians and property owners in India today? You cannot even buy property there as a foreigner.
Britain is a far fairer and far less racist country than India and you know it. More than generous when a racist nation simply would not have been so.
'Oh but what about the Empire' is no reason to claim Indians deserve a home in the UK wihout genuine ties there. It is far from reciprocal.

I will never deny the UK/US's roles in global empire/exploitation/colonialism and its lasting effects on indigenous populations. I have not lived in the UK, so I cant really comment on any racism there, but here in America there undoubtedly is racism as we have hundreds of different ethnicities here in vast numbers crammed in close together in neighborhoods, but since the 1980s there have hardly been any instances of people not getting a job or being denied entrance into schools based on race; on the contrary the affirmative action programs have largely evened all that out over the past 40 years or so, and you will find all races in all positions basically, except for obviously President (tho soon I think Kamala will be President). And when it DOES happen, the guilty parties are sued to the tune of millions of dollars for violating civil rights of individuals and blacklisted all over the media.
In Malaysia or Guyana, the racism between the Chinese, the Tamil Indians, and the ethnic Malays is so thick --even with politicians openly making anti-INdian or anti-Chinese comments and daily stories in the newspapers that would appall you -- you can cut it with a knife. Compared to that I think the UK and US are far less racist nowadays.

Think for yourself.
You sound like Farrage who has just claimed that 'Nobody in history has done more for people of colour than the Royal Family'
He like you said that with a straight face, believing every fucking stupid word of it.
You are so desperate to virtue signal your supposed, Devil's Advocate special rare as Unicorns unique brand of colonial white man bullshit, it is painful to witness you engage in such a humiliating charade.
For a long time i thought 'He can't actually really believe it', but you do
Britain compensated fucking slave owners...OWNERS, half of them are in the house of lords or printing the papers that tell YOU what to think. You repeat them verbatim.
Do yourself a massive favour and instead of filling your head with psuedo scientific American garbage, read David Olusoga's Masterful 'Black and British - A forgotten history' and learn a bit more about the country you don't really seem to understand and certainly never celebrate.
Look who is astride the horse fighting on behalf of Sancho. What does this have to do with Mouthy Minnie?
Yes, money was given to rulers of regions and nations to stop them doing what they were doing. It wasn't all drone strikes with the British. It was the correct thing to do at the time.
I understand my history, Beanz and colonialism was a side point brought up by Master to distract from my main point that Britain is far more generous than most countries in the world. Yet all you idiots can do is waffle on about the dangers of white supremacy. It is dumb.
Colonialism and it's bastard children racism and bigotry are a side point for YOU. That is the crux of the problem. Your blindess, your ignorance, your lies, your propaganda, your lack of empathy, your belligerence, your revisionism. It stinks and that stench precedes you.
Lots of insults but little reasoning is basically the entirety of your own, and that of many of your cohorts on here posting for the last five years.
All you bring is hate, spite and ignorance and a desire to drive wedges between people on the forum and in wider society.
I believe you should treat people with kindness. but not when they desire to spray their own venom over all and sundry in an effort to justify their own ignorance.
The reality is few countries on this planet have been as generous to outsiders with little than the UK. If not, then as compared with where? India is certainly not generous. I can list many more examples.
Am I entitled to a job in France because of the Normans? Such a naive way of thinking. Are Koreans entitled to live in Japan? Why? Oh, because of colonialism! It is poor logic.
You rebuild and move on. You have no need to fracture your own society those of whom who were mostly just toiling day to day themselves. That is their society.
The left is insidious really.
