@JJ_Bola ..dependent on fostering belief that there were others elsewhere, in The Colonies, who were their inferiors so they weren't lowest.

@JJ_Bola I have a theory (don't think I'm alone) that white working class European acceptance of being bottom of the Euro social scale was..

@JJ_Bola I suspect it's sometimes because it puts an uncomfortable chink in the belief in superiority over others.

@JJ_Bola Recruiting and rewarding (within limits!) high profile collaborators is the secret of British colonialism's ongoing toxic success

Also, did you know the British Empire paid out MILLIONS in reparations to the SLAVE OWNERS, after slavery was abolished?!

Did you know that Haiti had to pay France reparations for the Haitian revolution? But France ain't pay a dime for slavery.

People use Africans selling each other as slaves, as an attempt to make it seems like African perpetuated and maintained slavery.

Also, I find it quite bizarre, those who try to focus on that point, as if it negates the entire atrocity of slavery.Is that white guilt or?

"Africans sold each other into slavery" is the most historically reductionist, contextually ignorant statement used to absolve culpability.

Also, let's please understand the difference between indentured servitude and chattel slavery.
