Jews dont like africans (unless its to make them money of course)

topics always divulge into other things on here. the video is bad, but not any worse than the lynchings of Africans in libya, or the recent events in italy, and sweden was it?

but regarding the slave trade and economic power, its clear to know how beneficial it was when you see that every european country who was at the forefront of it, was also the richest and most powerful. starting with portugal, then spain, then Britain, then the US. these are not coincidences.

Brtiain and Europe would have developed like everyone else, in south asia, or south america.

The links I posted clearly showed Britain's GDP didn't fall 10% as you claimed

your copy n paste job didn't offer any insights on the slave trade's relative contribution to GDP, but instead chose to focus on the distibution of exports and the slave trade's contribution in comparison to the domestic "investment needs" "around 1770", if thats better in your head kl

yeah, obviously i would prefer any other account than one from a liberally minded BBC employee, particuarly one thats mostly directly lifted from Capitalsim and Slavery, a book with its own agenda (basically started off Marvell's claims that Britain belong to africans, carribeans and asians), preferably a non-government promoted unbiast account tbh

my core point is that Britian WAS wealthy anyway, trade and industry had been expanding for centuries before, as it had in France, Germany, Spain etc, way before any c*nt took control of any slaves

Britain's need to compete with warring France was more of a push towards colonialism than the neccessity of it to expand industry and Britain ended up taking over most of France's colonies at one point, so by Marv's logic, as France was unwittingly a large part of Britain's success, much like the unwitting slaves, Britain also belongs to the French

for him to claim it was the Only reason for Britain's success is ignoring all of Britain's unrelated achievements and technilogical advances (agricultural revolution, iron making, coal mining etc) and basically wholly placin the credit of Britain's prosperity and European society in general onto the shoulders of savages which, by the default of marv's narrow minded black and white view.......places onto the shoulders of all present-day africans

which is of course, the view promoted by the BBC

britain's wealth in the 12-14th centuries was nominal, andalucia ruled by the moors around this time was the most glamorous city,

much of the wealth Britain had at this time was gained from ireland and exploiting them.

Britain itself was no where near as wealthy as portugal and spain around the same time.

England's Monarchy was rich, and a few members of the royal court, but that about it

and that is nothing spectacular, as this happens in any monarchy. the rest of the people were just feudal peasants

dont gas yourself that england was rich.

Mali, benin, senegal, were richer than england at the start of the slave trade.

if england was so rich what came out of england around that time? gobshite

once england saw how rich other countries were getting from slavery and discovering new lands

that became the new priority and the wealth exploded.and all your argicultural and technological achievements were all as a result of the slave trade industry, which created the greater demand to produce goods.

[MARVELL]

and britain's fear of the french that led it to develop a huge military and navy was in the 1700's long after the time England was at the forefront of the slave trade and gotten fat off it.

For a start we need to stop using the word Jew like its a race when its clearly just a person who practices judaism.

The ones that are hating on us are the ashkenazi jews who got rushed out of Europe during the world war and now they think they're bawss in the middle east.

I leave this here anyway...

what came out of britain?

not that a country's exports defines its economy but cloth, wool, wheat, iron, steel, fish etc were being exported to europe for centuries

the fact that agricultural, economical and technological advancements had been occuring long before europeans were trading slaves sort of discredits your idea that all advancements made after slavery were as a result of it

comparing britain with huge empires that must have been a good 10x the size of britain, population and size wise, and were infamous in the usage of slaves themselves, is also a bit desperate

merry xmas tho yeah

[BLACK VICTIM]

slags come from britain, and fish fingers

It has been established that Europe advanced due to the badness they have done.

Deal with it!
