The author of the article, a Brit, pretty much states that it’s about time America performs a mea culpa for once being a slave-owning country, and elect a black man.
Well, Britain enslaved one hell of a lot more people than the United States ever did, and for a much longer period. And those slaves came in all colors. So, where is the first black Prime Minister of the UK? Where is the first Indian (as in the sub-continent) Prime Minister of the UK? Where is the first Pacific Islander Prime Minister of the UK? Where is the first native-born Irish Prime Minister of the UK?
Britain, thy name is hypocrisy.
Ouch! That one will leave a mark. Well done!
