  1. I condem the Apartheid Israel government. Stop the unlawfull killings in Palestine. Live and let others live.

  2. "150 British soldiers held off 4,000 native braves". The sentence is a bit funny, methinks brave would be more deserved by the 150 there.

  3. The Dutch are ruthless and laid the foundation for Apartheid. Viva EFF viva. And let’s make Julius Malema the next president of Azania.

  4. This is way too emotionally charged and devoid of the cultural context of the time to be taken seriously.

  5. Describing the Ashanti as "natives" is a bit much. It is as if you'd fight Poles in the French Mediterranean coast and call the Poles natives.
    The Ashanti moved into this area not too long before the British arrived. So both parties were new to the terrain, and neither of them were native to it

  6. As a Brit, I never learnt anything about British colonialism in school. I can't stand that some countries (including my own) won't acknowledge the bad parts of their past and only teaches the "good parts". This is one of the reasons I respect the German school system so much…. That being that they actually admit they did messed up stuff

  7. I'd like to thank you for acknowledging the conflicts between the Ashanti empire and the British. I just love the history of the Ashanti empire and their resistance against colonial powers like the British empire!

  8. For you africans and black people,did you know that in liberia black people slaved other black people,did you know otoman empire murdered and killed a lot of people on the balkans ,did you know africans empires killed and murdered each other,for you colonialism and imperialism is just bad when it comes from white people

  9. All this for Muslims n blacks to take over d uk 🇬🇧 😅 cause n effect action reaction

  10. Britain ( S.Africa ) :
    1. Give country to European settlers
    2. Help form Apartheid

    Britain ( Palestine ) :
    1. Give country to European settlers
    2. Help form Apartheid
