As Britain prepares to officially crown its first monarch over 70 years in a lavish ceremony Saturday, some citizens in its former and current territories are calling on King Charles III to publicly acknowledge the United Kingdom’s role in the atrocities against enslaved Africans and its oppression of indigenous people.
Has Africa publicly acknowledged its role? Has the Caribbean nations acknowledged their role in slavery and that it took England and the US to end their own slave practices?
Nope. They still bitch that they had to pay a paltry sum in restitution for their genocide. 70 million in that day was a lot of money, but not much for a sovereign country and they pretend that it's the reason the country is poor as shit today.

Britain paid far more to end slavery, than Haiti did to be allowed to commit genocide.
