Never mentioned in all these demands for reparations, etc. is the FACT that Whites - lead by the British - put an end to slavery.
Reparations were paid in the form of 600,000, mostly White lives lost and families destroyed in the WBTS.
We are owed a debt of gratitude for this - and what do we get? Out statues torn down, our holidays erased, our history and traditions thrown down the memory hole.
Abolitionism was led by the Americans. The British tried to thwart abolitionist efforts.
We (this generation) isn’t owed a debt of gratitude for the sacrifices of our ancestors any more than we deserve to be shamed for them. All we are owed is an honest reporting of the historical facts, both good and bad.
That said, American slavery was ended by whites. That is historical fact. Today, those many (good and honorable) sacrifices of whites on behalf of blacks are gone down the memory hole, as only historical facts that support black grievances and grow tribalism are recounted.
