Lest We Recall

African and Caribbean nations are once more conspiring in black ingratitude over the civilising influence of the Atlantic slave trade. Two blocs comprising seventy-five countries have agreed to press for reparations and for the former colonial powers to cancel debts and invest in, of all things, healthcare and education for descendants of the slave trade's beneficiaries. Lesser breeds among the beastly Euro-wogs have buckled in accordance with their lack of moral fibre; the master race has responded with a staunch refusal to contemplate anything of the kind, just as one would expect from the only country to have abolished the slave trade without noticeably engaging in it.
