Will.i.am shocked learning about Britain’s ‘wicked’ role in slave trade

was almost lost for words as he learnt about Britain’s role in the slave trade for the first time.

Meeting a Black history historian in Liverpool, will.i.am learnt how the city was the epicentre of the transatlantic slave trade due to around 1.2million enslaved Africans being sold and transported by merchant’s ships there.supports HTML5 video ‘America is the end result to business wickedness in the UK. That’s dark and if we’re really taught that I don’t know how many people would really love the UK. I’m having a hard time myself. I love this country but damn, it participated in some wickedness,’ will.i.am said.

How desperate is he for PR?

A bit of light reading for him & others to learn THE INCONVENIENT TRUTH - - - -

Old news england is colonial empire everybody knows

So he's not bothered about the ongoing slavery problem around the world today?

Somebody needs to tell him that it was the UK that banned the slave trade in 1824.

America meanwhile has a great track record 🙄

🙄 We were invaded and colonised 76 times since 1066 and even more beforehand. Taken into slavery by black and white alike. Do we moan everyday or blame the wrong people because they have the same skin colour? No. Shush.

At least 90 historic English mansions were built with blood money from the slave trade. That was kept quiet eh?

Wait until finds out about Africa’s role in the slave trade 😭

It was also the first empire to ban slavery and finally end the slave trade that had been happening since time began so he should also be thanking us.
