        Slavery is not a white man thing. It existed before empires because humans are just damn wicked to each other. The only place that actually made any meaningful effort to stop slavery was the UK. As bad as it sounds, they did something to stop it, even though at one point they participated and benefited. The Persians, Greeks, Romans, Muslims, and some Christians participated slavery. Muslim Prophet muhammad owned and sold black people. Black people in Africa are partly responsible for black people being sold into slavery in the Americas. Slavery has no color and neither does racism. That's why Irish and English still hate each other to this day and Igbo, Yoruba still have issues.

    Gladly celebrating the birthday of the privileged monarch in a far away land that many have not seen or spoken to. We do so with delight But will raise hell and beyond if it even suggested publically celebrating the leader of government in the HoA. Self-hating. We need to can the Throne speech and King/Queen birthday nonsense.
