The Robert the Bruce one is kind of silly, but there are better targets for discussing Scotland's role in the slave trade. We've been talking about it over the past day or two, and I really hadn't given it much thought until very recently. This is a well-balanced, non-inflammatory article from the center-right Scotsman on the topic: https://www.scotsman.com/news/uk-news/amnesia-denial-and-awakening-black-lives-matter-stirs-scotland-confronting-its-ties-slavery-2883767

He's probably never seen a person of a different race in his life, but somehow he's "racist"? Come on now..

Since it seems my post was offensive to some, allow me to rephrase...

 

Europeans, with their caste system, were the primary source of slavery for over 300 years.  Portions of the Carribbean were kept down for centuries due to their enslavement of several nations.  A glimpse of the history of Barbados, and the "Slave Code" (a joke of a protective idea for slaves) can help one see just how very racist Europeans used to be.

Thank you. That was very different from what you said earlier and I think gets your point across more accurately, one that I happen to agree with.

The gist was the same, I just had more time to type this time.
