Shame on us for not mass importing Black people into our (originally white) like America did.  Yeah, Britain seems to have been a bit better about slavery than many cultures from what I have read. To be fair to anyone who has read into this much more though I haven't read up on it as much. I am more familiar with slavery in ancient Rome, Greece, Middle East etc. and the Americas, both of which seem to be the worst cases of slavery in history. Though taking slaves from other countries seems to be more an American thing. In Ancient times it was more of an invading country making the people of the invaded country their slaves. We were pretty much into slavery for a long time and sent them to the Americas to help build our wealth. The BLM protests also targeted a few statues in the UK which is why a statue of Thomas Guy in Guy’s Hospital had to be boarded up (he had part ownership of a company involved in the slave trade).  The ancient type of slavery was used against the Irish if they became bothersome and tried to throw us out of their country.
