John Cleese: The British were slaves during the Roman occupation for over 300 years, and then slaves under the Norman French for another 300 years. So we should do well out of reparations, and then get a bonus for being the first country to abolish slavery - Kotaku In Action 2

Slavery is the best fucking thing that ever happened....for modern blacks. They can bitch and moan how hard the actual slaves had it, and I won't contest that. But the fact that as a result they got to be born modern western nations instead of some shithole like Namibia or Somalia is the luckiest possible outcome for them.

Yup.

Slavery is to blacks like the holocaust is to Jews.

In that it's ironically one of the best things to ever happen for, (yes for, not to), them since it means decades of whining and grifting long after the fact.

Me, 6 months ago.
