Are Polish people importing a new wave of ancient racism into the UK? [402]
The British history of genocide and plain mass murder around the world are not a good reason for Poles to accept the same suicidal, path that the great British people is now following.
There's no reason for most British people to follow that path, either. Very few people alive today could be blamed for any involvement in black slavery, and especially not those of us born here of of Polish origin.
Google "Polish involvement black slavery" and see what you find - nothing. Change "Polish" to certain other search terms, and you'll find an encyclopaedia full of links. Unfortunately, those links will include "English", but it's all a long time ago now, and reparations have been paid by Western countries, in the form of billions of pounds of aid, etc. But I'm still waiting for apologies and reparations from Arabs who enslaved blacks when the English were still living in houses made with wattle and daub :)
Besides, the UK wasn't built on black slavery to anywhere near the extent that the USA was; most UK blacks were asked to come here to work after WWII, not brought here as free labour several centuries ago.
It is true that many American blacks may have worked as slaves in the American cotton fields, at the same time as hundreds of thousands of white Britons were forced into working 15 hours a day/six days a week in Lancashire's cotton mills. Yet these British barely had enough to live on, despite the hours, and were abused, assaulted or punished severely for non-compliance. At the same time, Bradford's woolcombers were working similar hours, in even worse conditions, for similar rates of pay, and had an average life expectancy of
eighteen years old! If that isn't also slavery, if not legalised genocide, I don't know what is.
This went on for two centuries before any significant Black or South Asian immigration began. But there are no "reparations" for the families of those British workers, and never will be. And no-one can seriously claim these mill workers "profited" from this trade, whether that trade was driven by the produce of black cotton-picking slaves, or not - only a tiny minority of rich, powerful people profited, and their descendants are probably still the only ones profiting from the former slave trade.
Poland wasn't involved in black slavery, and owes Africa nothing. It is only a corrupt EU agenda which is forcing them to feel guilty and making them accept Africans. Maybe someone would like to explain why "multiculturalism" is only being imposed on European countries? I don't see much "enriching" or "diversity" in most Asian or African countries.
