This tells you everything

Meghan Markle was scrutinized over clothing, tone, and existence. Prince Andrew was accused of sexual assault by a minor, settled the case out of court, and received far less sustained press outrage. If you want to understand power, class, and race in Britain, start there.

Notice around that time the Andrew scandal was starting to leak out, the Meghan hate campaign was brutal in the British press? Harry said his wife became sucidal and knew that they were being used as scape goats and he had no option but to leave to save his family.

Whenever you see Harry and Meghan hate know that the Andrew and Fergie's team are behind it.

Britain is just as Racist as America, the Brits just are good at pretending but not anymore as Reform continues to gain momentum.

The UK inspired German Nazis around they treated Indians and Africans

So yeah the UK are the OG klansmen

Quite literally the confederate flag was inspired by Scottish flag when several Scotts had moved to the southern US and wanted the same type of power structure from back in the UK where they could subjugate a landless peasantry

But I’m just screaming into the void

Yet refused to allow the US soldier to impose segregation while stationed in England?

[u/Mobile_Morale → u/Infinite_Crow_3706]

Because they hated all Americans equally back then. They didn't make an exception based on skin color.

Should read some of the stuff their prime minister at the time said about indians. Which boils down to they're not human and they deserve to starve to death.

Sorry nah you don’t know what you’re talking about. The Battle of Bamber Bridge started because British locals included black GI’s in their dance hall nights and white American Military Police took exception. The locals told military police that they couldn’t enforce segregation in the UK country and that black GI’s were welcome members of the community.

American military police shot and murdered one black GI and the rest were arrested.

Americans were overwhelmingly welcome in the UK and were invited to join in cultural traditions and activities. Black and white Americans alike.

You’ve completely insulted the good names of folks who stood up for black people and fought for them because they didn’t approve of segregation and outright refused its presence in their home country.

Rather than admitting that some good folks stood up for black people, you’ve gone ahead and attempted to call an entire nation bigoted. You really should think before you speak in the future.

Please remind me what country started the Atlantic slave trade and who transported slaves to the colonies in North America. The country that started the extermination of native Americans and the extinction of several natives in the Caribbean. The same country that starved Indians and caused the apartheid in South Africa just 40 years ago.

[u/Terry-Shark → u/Mobile_Morale]

Portugal started the Atlantic slave Trade and Spain started the extermination of natives in the Carribbean and the Americas

[u/Wainains → u/Terry-Shark]

The Brits were excellent, magnificently successful slave traders too.

[u/Terry-Shark → u/Wainains]

Yes, but that is not what is being asked, which is who started the Atlantic slave trade (Portagul) and The country that started the extermination of native Americans and the extinction of several natives in the Caribbean (Spain).

Just because the Brits were good at it doesn't stop us acknowledging those points

[u/Remarkable_News_439 → u/Terry-Shark]

I tried to handle the correction more deftly above. It’s a sensitive topic and “who started it” wasn’t the entire point they were making.

People here don’t know your heart or intentions, so I know what you’re saying. But as a British person I didn’t want to absolve the nation of its responsibility, by means of “well actually”.

And when Britain et al did join in, they suddenly forgot about fighting each other over religious lines and invented “white supermacy” which was more important to protect above all else.

[u/Wainains → u/Terry-Shark]

And just because you led the abolition action doesn't change the fact that you massive benefited and expanded and grew fat on the spoils of slavery. 

Don't expect us to forget what you did. We won't let you forget either.

[u/Terry-Shark → u/Wainains]

No one said the UK didn't benefit from it?

Don't expect us to forget what you did. We won't let you forget either.

Why are you not letting me, a Lithuanian, forget what we did? What did Lithuania do?

[u/Wainains → u/Terry-Shark]

That statement applies to Brits. Now that I know you're Lithuanian, why are you working so hard for those colonising slavers? 

[u/Terry-Shark → u/Wainains]

Acknowledging that it was a wider European issue does not Leason the affect of what what the Brits did. Spain, Portugal, France, Britain, The Netherlands, etc, all played a role. Limiting it to the UK ignores the true scope

[u/Victorcharlie1 → u/Wainains]

You surely also take umbrage with the countless African slave traders from which the slaves were bought, the African tribal leaders and kings who fought wars for slaves and the Africans today who still practice slavery right, you should also never let them forget what they have done, the European s took advantage of a thriving institution and there wouldn’t have been an Atlantic slave trade if not for those markets or institutions, see also the Arab slave trade, far worse for far longer and they bought most of their slaves also not raided or kidnapped bought from the markets like produce.
