Boris Johnson insults hundreds of millions of Black Africans !!!

This stupid bastard Boris Johnson is trying to reset the UK's colonial clock !!!


Boris Johnson said colonialism in Africa should never have ended and dismissed Britain’s role in slavery
MPs call on prime minister to explain whether he still believes ‘the problem is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge any more’


Boris Johnson said colonialism in Africa should never have ended and downplayed Britain’s role in the slave trade, an article written by the prime minister while he was a Tory MP reveals.

Critics are urging Mr Johnson to explain whether he still holds the views expounded in the 2002 piece, where he argued that Africans would not have grown the right crops for export without British direction.

“The continent may be a blot, but it is not a blot upon our conscience,” he wrote. “The problem is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge any more.”

The prime minister this week argued for the retention of controversial statues of slavers and British colonialists in UK cities, which he said should stay up because they “teach us about our past with all its faults”.

But the article, written while Mr Johnson was editor of The Spectator magazine, reveals that the prime minister in fact has held an active admiration for Britain’s colonial activities on the continent.

“Consider Uganda, pearl of Africa, as an example of the British record. Are we guilty of slavery? Pshaw. It was one of the first duties of Frederick Lugard, who colonised Buganda in the 1890s, to take on and defeat the Arab slavers,” Mr Johnson says in the piece.

“And don’t swallow any of that nonsense about how we planted the ‘wrong crops’. Uganda teems, sprouts, bursts with vegetation. You will find fruits rare and strange, like the jackfruit, hanging bigger than your head and covered with green tetrahedral nodules. Though delicately perfumed, it is, alas, more or less disgusting, and not even Waitrose is pretentious enough to stock it.”

He continues: “So the British planted coffee and cotton and tobacco, and they were broadly right. It is true that coffee prices are currently low; but that is the fault of the Vietnamese, who are shamelessly undercutting the market, and not of the planters of 100 years ago.

“If left to their own devices, the natives would rely on nothing but the instant carbohydrate gratification of the plantain ... the colonists correctly saw that the export market was limited.”

Suggesting that one way to boost the economy of African countries would be for British tourists to holiday in them, Mr Johnson wrote: “The best fate for Africa would be if the old colonial powers, or their citizens, scrambled once again in her direction; on the understanding that this time they will not be asked to feel guilty.”

Boris Johnson’s spokesperson declined to comment on the article when approached by The Independent.

Opposition MPs urged the prime minister to consider his comments and explain whether they still represented his views today.

The continent may be a blot, but it is not a blot upon our conscience. The problem is not that we were once in charge, but that we are not in charge any more.”

“Boris Johnson is the prime minister of the United Kingdom. The history of the UK, Windrush, empire, colonialism should be told with sobering accuracy,” Labour MP Dawn Butler told The Independent.

“In order to make sustainable progress we need the current PM who has power and privilege to reflect on what he has said and written.

“I urge the PM to review his previous articles, books and statements and to re-examine them through the brutal lynching that he watched of George Floyd and say whether he regrets anything of what he has said, done or written in the past.”

Ms Butler said it was important not to “misrepresent or whitewash history”, adding: “This Etonian attitude affects everyone who is not in that inner circle, no matter your colour. Instead of viewing history through rose-tinted glasses maybe it is time to look at history through the lenses of a very visible modern-day lynching.”

The shadow secretary of state for women and equalities, Marsha de Cordova, said: “Boris Johnson’s past comments are an example of why we need to educate people about the impact of colonialism.

“The legacy of British colonialism and its role in the slave trade is a scar on our society. To infer this is something to be proud of, and that African countries are worse off because they are no longer ruled by the empire, is an insult to millions.”

 

Are you aware that Great Britain ended the north Atlantic slave trade? That when slavery was outlawed in Great Britain, the British government decided to stop it elsewhere as well? That they stopped a great many slavers from delivering their cargoes and took the freed people aboard to what is now Sierra Leone? That without Britain and its colonial power slavery in north America would have continued on for decades if not centuries.? Are you also aware that ending slavery nearly bankrupted Britain and we did not pay off the loans involved until 2014? If you want to attack a country about human rights, there are dozens of Marxist dictatorships you could try. Pop over to Beijing and start complaining about how badly they treat people and find out what communism means.
