Like anyone was threatening to secede from Britain if slavery was abolished.

Yeah, so Brits are more sophisticated than Southerners and pizza tastes better than crap. The north had abolitionists way before Britain abolished slavery.

1836. Big deal. It was practiced in Brazil until 1888. So what? And yes.........the Brits conquered the Boers in 1902, incorporated their two republics into the British Empire, and then came Apartheid in South Africa. SCOTS SERVED IN THE BRITISH MILITARY, WHICH PERPETRATED THIS NEFARIOUS BUSINESS. Scooby bathes in the same blood. :no:


Ofcourse scots were part of the British Military,it isnt a secret pino,and i think i have made my feelings perfectly clear about the "British Empire" but Apartheid was introduced by the Afrikaners 1948,South Africa had alot in common with the American South.

The Boer war was from 1899-1902,Apartheid was introduced in 1948 offficially,by the Afrikaners,the war itself wasn't really about the black people it was about it was about colonialism and self-interest and who control the mineral rich lands,the boers or the brits.

I never claimed for one minute Britain made everthing nice again.

Easy tiger, we as a 'British' Nation have managed to survive as a group of nations for over 300 years English, Welsh, Scotish, Northern Irish all living together as one. I myself am the first to take the piss out of the Welsh, Scotish and Northern Irish, it is part of our sense of humour, but break it down and as shown in two World Wars we are a nation, let know one tell you different (our last two Prime Ministers have been Scottish)

Dr Martin Luther King was about 'Human Rights' what he talked about and what he tried to instill in the people who listened was we are all equal and that no man has just cause to rule another because of their sking colour, social standing or political stance.

So what if as a nation the British did things that today seem inconceivable, get over it, **** happened, it was a different world back then. We need to see past what happened to slaves and such things, remember what happened and ensure we never fall into that trap again.

What does that have to do with Scots serving in the British military? I was merely pointing out that while some horrible things were done by the British military and yes the Scots were apart of that, but it was not of choice in many cases.

I know Great Britain (UK) as well as the United States has a dark past, and it's best to acknowledge this so that those things don't happen again. I was not picking on England.

Seems we had to save you ass a numbers of times, pretty nice coming from a country that is willing to over look your transgressions, don't you think?

No one need tell us anything. But that don't stop you does it.

So what if America has, will you ever mention it again? Very likely. Turn about is fair play. We are certainly within our right arn't we! We'll get over when you do, you tell us the chance of that happening.

Your preaching to the choir, after you look in the mirror get back to us and tell me what you saw. If you didn't see a hypocrite then i don't see this being resolved any time soon, mmmkay.

"Why didn't you claim it,you trying to hide" what the hell are you talking about ? hide what ? you wont find me defending the British Empire,but it was the Afrikaners that introduced Apartheid in 1948 and denied the Black population the vote until 1994.
