This is now beyond tedious. I wonder how well the old Ki Ora advert in which a kid was confronted by three crows in zoot suits trying to con him out of his drink?
Or the original Coco Pops voice over? Or Black Boy (loose) tea? Or - there were so many things that have been distorted into something they just ain't.
Sod all this. We should CELIBRATE our role in the slave trade, not be embarrassed, and the descendants of slaves should be bloody GRATEFUL that their ancestors were taken from a land of savage brutal tribalism and as a result THEY are now living in lands of staggering opportunity where they can advance to the limits of their ability.
Were it not for something that was normal for the time most would not be here today, their ancestors having been killed by tribal warfare or disease. Even today so many African countries are dependant on Western aid with the UK being one of the biggest donors of medicines, food, materials and support for such products that they produce most of which are cash crops - and disease.
Ashamed of our role in the past - far from it.
It's time to put the record straight.
