It's the part they REALLY want to avoid teaching in history classes. That the biggest empire that EVER existed that was white dominated at the height of their power, chose to use it to end slavery.
Really hard to call for reparations when the guys you want money off have statues dedicated to the forces that lost their lives stopping slavers.
I think that’s why they moved on to whining about colonialism. I remember I met an older Nigerian man and he was telling me about how before they stopped being a British territory they offered British citizenship and he took it. He said they weren’t perfect but to act like the British didn’t have any positive influence on Nigeria is ridiculous. Also didn’t have a high opinion of young people whining about colonialism
Ditto with the official story that Anglo-sphere spent blood and the concept of empire itself to end the holocoaster, but the those same Anglos need to carry eternal guilt for it having supposedly happening in the first place.
