Subject: RE: BS: Britain's shame of slave trade.
Complete and utter meaningless waffle, at best I suppose it serves as a distraction from more important matters.

Britain's shame of Slave Trade? Balanced by the measures that Britain and Britain ALONE took to erradicate that Trade. Ongoing consequences of Britains involvement in the Slave Trade - Nil, Zip, Nada.

The slave trade on the west coast of Africa, like all "good businesses" was very well documented. In all the time it was carried out, there were only ever two instances where European slavers went ashore to capture black slaves. The main source of slaves was from the tribal chiefs who sold either their own subjects or prisoners taken on raids into slavery. Without any doubt the greatest slavers in Africa were, and still are, the Arabs/Muslims, no need for them to be ashamed of anything though is there dianavan?
