HistoPol (#HP) 🏴 🇺🇸 🏴The #BritishMonarchy should apologize for #slavery...and have an independent body investigate
s/:"#EdwardColston...threw thousands of #slaves into the sea, so naturally the British built a statue of him that stood proudly in #Bristol for 125 years...
he transferred £1,000 of shares in the slave-trading Royal #African Company to #King William III in 1689...
[King] #Charles has been urged to apologise as a matter of self-preservation - and principle too."/s
El Club De Los Físicos MuertosDurante años ha sido intrigante saber cómo semejante tráfico se consintió y pq no se reconoce la implicación de ciertas instituciones

En 2020 Jun.07,un grupo de activistas d #BlackLivesMatter derribaron estatua d bronce d #EdwardColston en #Bristol. Colston era considerado un respetado hombre de negocios y filántropo pero en realidad era un negrero: entre 1672 y 1689,su #RoyalAfricanCompany trasladó unos 186,827 esclavos -24,000 eran niños- capturados en África Occidental al #Caribe y resto de América.
En condiciones deplorables,unos 38,000 murieron y fueron arrojados al mar.
Aún así el negocio de #negreros era suculento
