Not only are the ‘days of British supremacy and ‘native’ obsequiousness are well and truly over’, they should never have been there.
What right had Britain and other Western Nations have to subjugate persons of any other nations or countries, so why should the natives of those countries have any gratefulness. Britain took what it wanted without any request to do so, even enslaving the peoples and took them from their country of origin and placed them in another many 1000s of miles away and not only that, but took their freedoms away, so be grateful for what.
It is Britain and the other Western nations who should be grateful that these persons, whose ancestors were treated so disgracefully, are still wishing to be associated with us to any degree.
Slavery was as wrong then as it is wrong now. These, so called, Christian countries should be so ashamed of themselves, and apologise so profusely, but an apology was not forthcoming from William and he should be so ashamed that he did not.
