“Now if we did blackface, we would be wrong” America:

An Indian book for learning English from the 1990s.

On this day in 1961 the 1st. democratically elected leader of the Congo, African hero Patrice Lumumba, was murdered in a CIA backed coup.

The UN just voted 123-3 to declare the transatlantic slave trade the “gravest crime against humanity” and start sniffing around for reparations. Ghana led the charge, naturally. Applause erupted. Of course it did! What a shit show 😂 Africans didn’t just participate in the slave trade, they ran the supply side with ruthless efficiency. Tribal kings rounding up rivals, Arab traders shipping them, selling their own flesh and blood for beads, guns, and profit centuries before a Yankee clipper showed up. Meanwhile, over a million white Europeans were dragged into slavery by the Barbary corsairs. Romans, Ottomans, Vikings, Mongols, every people on earth kept slaves. But only Western guilt is immortal. Funny how that works! Every single perpetrator and victim is dust. Not one living soul owned a slave or wore chains from that era. This isn’t justice; it’s retroactive inheritance fraud. You don’t get to pass down victimhood like a trust fund while the rest of us are told our ancestors’ sins are genetic. Britain didn’t just abolish the trade, we patrolled the seas, hanged slavers, and spent blood and treasure to end it while half the world was still merrily enslaving each other. We owe you precisely nothing. Not an apology, not a single taxpayer penny, not one brass farthing funnelled into the great African wealth-transfer casino. Descendants of slaves demanding cash from descendants of abolitionists is peak cosmic comedy. Build a civilisation instead of another sob story. Stop pickpocketing the future of English children for yesterday’s African quarrels, what a fucking joke if you think we will 😂 The natives of these isles aren’t paying. Not today. Not tomorrow. Not ever. Fucking cry about it.
