You just said, something that happened a long time ago has no bearing on today.You don't know your history very well. Slavery in the US ended 150 years ago and had nothing to do with the British. England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales did not have slavery. The American Revolution was 240 years ago. There is no connection between the two. The Revolution was from England, but that was 240 years ago and since they we have been strong allies, especially in modern times. Slavery has not a thing to do with our connection with the UK.It's not a matter of thinking they are our most important ally; they are our most important ally. What happened 240 years ago is not relevant today.And this:
Donald Trump debate: Could UK really ban him? - CNNPolitics.com
"What has Trump said about the debate?
Trump has warned that he would end all current and future investments in the United Kingdom if he's banned from entering the country."
He isn't even elected and he is destroying our alliance with our most impotant ally.
Some folks think it's our most important ally, others remember the truth. . .
I'll remember that next time the discussion turns to equality and slavery.
Thus, when we talk about race relations today, you can not bring up slavery, it happened a long time ago.
