Yes because that’s not a massive divisive waste of time.
instead of moving from apology to apology, a good dose of history lessons may help? There hasn't been a single developed society in the past 5000 years where wealth wasn't based on sorts of slavery - the French Revolution tolled the bell for the end of this gruesome past
It's an overdue start but you know.. Well done

Clearly only a slave is properly qualified to examine this. So what? Does the colour of skin really matter? Seriously, how is this remotely controversial? The only issue with any researcher taking on a job is their skill-set, experience, and proof of a high academic standard in their work. This is all very silly.

Could be legals involved here. only the 'good' bits of British history for the gammons. Otherwise, fragile little mites that they are, how will they feel 'good' about themselves? Every race/ethnicity on earth has been subject to slavery at some point in history, so what this basically implies is that black people have no agency and need white liberal patronage in order to function.
