Except a large community existed and there were rumors catherine tge great herself mayve been half black. no there was not a large community in England at that time, sorry. Couple hundred of mostly captives/ slaves but thats it. Nobody documented being black in the government there at that time, sorry. Queen Elisabeth as well as the privcy council were actually Activelly against the blacks settling in Britain. Same with asian people at that time in Britain. Curiosity and mostly servants or entertainers. Not members of the government. We can wish it had been different but it would be foolish to claim it actually was since the historical records state otherwise. Black people have migrated to england since roman era. The father of Alexandre Dumas was a black man who rose to being a ranking general in his army in france. It was actually queen Charlotte( not Catherine The Great) who likely had black portugeuse ancestry which often got downplayed by artists. Also have you heard the story of dido? They made a movie about her but she was brought up in an english aristocractic family and was educated pretty normally. Lets not forget England abolished slavery before the US did. So did France. |
