When are the British going to atone for their brutal/murderous history?

Point of this thread should be obvious.

Does America have dark periods of it's history? Of course it does. Should it forever be blamed and chastised for that history despite the tremendous good America has done all over the world??
Is there any country that does NOT have darkness in their past?
Should present Americans be blamed and punished for what their forefathers did many generations ago?
 
With all due respect, I think that the English are atoning for their colonial misdeeds through their very generous immigration policies that have turned London into a very, uh, cosmopolitan city.
 
In 2016,, just 4 years ago British citizens were polled about their nations history..including colonialism that resulted in millions of deaths.... answer... they are proud of it. British people are proud of colonialism and the British Empire, poll finds

How about the British Boer concentration camps? Where close to 28,000 Boer people died of starvation and disease.
or with the Mau Mau people? Where as many as 100,000 blacks died? Gosh - I bet you never heard of it.
or what about when British controlled India and MILLIONS died of starvation and disease because the Brits only cared about the economic return of occupying India and certainly could care less about the citizens dying by the 1,000's every single day.

Shouldn't the British be tearing down their monuments??

Do black lives not matter in Britian??

Unlike Americans, the British ended slavery throughout the British Empire in 1833 with an Act of Parliament and freed more than 800,000 slaves in South Africa and the Carribean.

Unlike Americans, the British haven't continued to oppress, segregate or murder black people indiscrimminately, after the slaves were emancipated.

Black people in the British Colonies haven't been lynched, bombed, segregated, or stripped of their rights, or any of the other horrors Americans have visited upon black citizens.
 
Oh...so just like with America and our blacks? or does American past crimes only matter.... not the rest of the world?

yes just like America. No good deed goes unpunished.
Barack Hussein hated Britain because of their civilizing efforts which his grandfather opposed. As President he represented the worst of America...the brash, shallow posturing of the nouveau rich and nouveaux powerful.

Is that why he refused the bust of Winston Churchill, in the Oval Office?

Reason: The Brits don't have DEMOKKKRATS in their History.

It needs re-stating from time to time: YOU CANNOT JUDGE HISTORICAL ACTIONS BY TODAY'S STANDARDS! Everyone is a product of his time. No one, ever, is entirely virtuous or entirely evil.

Even SLAVERY can be justified under extreme circumstances, if you look at it objectively, and of course slavery has been with us for thousands of years.

And who is to say whether common practices and attitudes of today will be righteously condemned a couple generations from now, as being barbarous, inhumane, or just plain stupid?

Young people are often idiots.
 
Not to mention... we all buy products made by economic slaves in Asia.
This $200 Air Jordans black people kill each other over?... made in Indonesia, and as reported illegally also using child labor.
BUT THAT IS OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... it is not in America, so it doesn't count.
