In 1807, the very white British Parliament outlawed slavery throughout the Empire - the first nation to do so in human history. Now only whites are blamed for slavery, because no good deed ever goes unpunished.

Technically in 1807 Parliament abolished the slave trade. Slavery was not abolished throughout the empire until 1834, though still 31 years ahead of the US

At its height, the British Empire only covered 25% of the planet. Unfortunately for the other 75%, and their descendants today.

It's the profiting from the slave trade for over 200 years beforehand that kind of detracts from how impressive it is they were the first ones to abolish it, to be honest.

Yet no one condemns the present and continues slave trade practiced through out the Muslim states.

I stabbed a stranger several times the other day. In the middle of this act, I decided to stop. Not only did he not thank me, he wants me held accountable for stabbing him in he first place. What an ingrate!

To be fair Stephan they never ACTUALLY got rid of slavery, they just repackaged it and gave it a new name. Today there isn't even free speech, how is that freedom?
