Several people have told me they like my Facebook, or my tweets, or my posts, or blog. But today, a friend told me he liked my Goodreads. He said I have eclectic taste and he wanted detailed recommendations of books. We spent 15 mins standing at my bookshelf, chatting about books. A+ compliment.

There is an international slavery museum in Liverpool. A major port for the slave trade. People for sugar. The slave compensation act paid British slave owners “ reparations” after abolition. This “debt” was finished paid in 2015.

Only 15% of 2000 Britons surveyed knew that the U. K. did the slavery thing.

That is a tremendous failure of education. The trans-Atlantic slave trade belonged to Britain.

In the 1860s onwards, British officials used anti-slavery rhetoric to invade and interfere in countries as far apart as the Middle East, North Africa, and Indonesia

Yeah the Brits like to slide over the hundreds of years of enslavement (mistakes were made type bullshit) and then jabber endlessly about how they "manned the seas against slavery" post emancipation in the 1830s.

The simultaneously optimistic and cynical answer is that the question was phrased as "how many enslaved Africans did the British forcible transport to the Caribbean", and if the answer was anything other than "3 million" it goes in the "unaware" column.
But I'm not quite that optimistic.

Yeah, the British Empire took out a huge loan in 1833 to compensate SLAVE-OWNERS for their loss of “property”. The UK just finished paying that loan in 2015.
Meaning: Black taxpaying Britons in 2015 were still paying for their ancestors’ freedom from slavery.

My 75-year-old in laws, both graduates, learned about British involvement in slavery when they watched David Olusoga's documentary this week. (They only watched because they'd seen him on Traitors.)

reminded of eric williams's observation about britain's relationship to its history with slavery. "British historians wrote almost as if Britain had introduced Negro slavery solely for the satisfaction of abolishing it."
