Julia Hartley Brewer owns diversity strategist on British colonialism

Julia Hartley Brewer clashes with Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategist Sinead Rose after artist Samson Kambalu said his new sculpture for the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square represents “standing up for justice and equality”.
The Malawi-born artist’s piece, Antelope, depicts a 1914 photograph of European missionary John Chorley and Malawian Baptist preacher John Chilembwe, who fought against colonial rule.
Speaking at the unveiling of the sculpture in central London on Wednesday, Kambalu told the PA news agency that he was “glad” he could carry forth Chilembwe’s message of fighting for a better world.
The preacher died in 1915 in an uprising while fighting colonial injustices, one of which was the rule that forbade Africans from wearing hats in front of white people.

Seriously I was on Bristol Rail Station a couple of months ago listening to a black lady going on about the Empire. Eventually, I got dragged in. I said "My Granddad got his head blown off in 1917 in France. My Dad was one of four kids left Fatherless. He left school at 11 to help keep them alive. His sister died in his arms from poverty. His friend lost a leg stealing coal from a train. He then fought across europe in his tank in WW2. I was born in a slum with one cold tap and Rationing didnt end until 1953. I joined the RAF and was happy to get 3 square meals a day. I now own my own house and could live till I am 80 something. In the past we all had it hard lady. But that was then and this is now..

I was born in 1969. My Grandad was at Dunkirk. He was so severely shellshocked that he was invalided out of the army and had to pull the bodies out of the rubble that was London. Needless to say, he never recovered. I remember him shaking when I was a kid. My other Grandfather died in a dockers accident, he was killed under the wheels of a truck. That put my Grandmother in the poor house with two young kids. She died of blood poisoning when she knelt on a piece of hot coal cleaning out the fireplace. My dad and his brother were orphaned. My Aunt's husband went down with his ship delivering supplies to Russia. His wife never remarried. I grew up in a flat without an inside toilet, we shared an outside toilet with the people upstairs. What were their sacrifices for? I'm sure they didn't do it for the country to be given away to anyone who wants to take it.

Why do I have to keep being lectured and 'reminded' that black people are forever victims of my skin colour? My father escaped from the nazis, and relatives were shovelled into gas ovens. But that was yesterday. I was not there and my German friends didn't do it. I distinctly remember being at school in the 1960s and being horrified at the accounts of slavery. Life in general was pretty unpleasant for the great unwashed. I remember TV programmes telling of the history of slavery, almost always restricted to the western 'slave trade' which I now know has a much wider context, even now. But that young woman in 21st century England is no more affected by slavery than I am by the nazis. I find it somewhat objectionable to be repeatedly berated to acknowledge and take responsibility for other people wanting to always be treated as hapless victims.

My Dad , a priest's son, was the senior District Commissioner who handed Nyasaland over to independence from British rule in 1964. His express purpose and instruction from Whitehall was that independence should be achieved without the bloodshed that had accompanied other ex-colonial transitions. He achieved it: Malawi was born peacefully and, to his pride and purpose, largely without bloodshed. The late Queen magnificently oversaw the transformation of the reproachable Empire which she inherited as Sovereign into the irreproachable Commonwealth which stood as her reign's great achievement. My father died this year, his own contribution blackened by the accusations of those such as Ms Rose who had seized the narrative and rewritten it. (At one point of crisis, after the Mau Mau uprisings in neighbouring Kenya, he was surrounded by the protection of the Nyasaland chieftains who respected him and acknowledged that Britain had brought them peace between the tribes, a fair judicial system, education, infrastructure and railways. )He handed a mature administration to African self-rule under Dr. Hastings Banda. He came back to England and witnessed the whole thing unravel. Banda degenerated into corruption, and Malawi is now the second poorest country on earth.

[@summerdove8367]

No, I am afraid I do not compute this to be accurate. The roads, hospitals, etc that you speak of were built by slaves, whipped within an inch of their lives. The Native Zimbabwean ‘s were one of the most advanced structural builders, their buildings were mistaken for the work of Inca’s best builders. That aside. What has colonialism done to the world, what is it doing.? It’s trying to work its way to a new world order where you will have nothing, own nothing and be happy. Let me see you smiling when your homes, cars, children are taken away from you and you keep smiling because at least you have a roof over your head that was not built by you . Why invade countries that do not belong to you and call it yours and then bitch about the native people of those countries immigrating to yours. Let me be clear, the people of those countries were never lost, the British just did not know they existed, they had to own and enslave. It never was theirs to take. Oh' and the people who built those roads, hospitals and railways were native to the country. The roads in the UK, were based on roads and signage of South African roads.

As Andre Walker correctly said, slavery in all its forms still exists today in Africa. There are markets in Liberia and neighbouring countries where young children are chained and sold; in countries such as Egypt and Saudi Arabia, workers have to hand over their passports before given a job. The hypocrisy of people that say Britain needs to look at its past, but wilfully choose to ignore the present, just tells me that they are bad-faith actors. I will listen to them, when they talk about the humanitarian crimes happening right now, not 100 years ago.

If you look up the history of Malawi you'll find that the Bantu invaded and colonised it eradicating the indiginous San, Twa and Fulani people who are no longer even found there. Maybe we should be reminding people like her about their ancestral colonising and geniocidal history so they can get off their pathetic guilt tripping racist high horses. I agree, it would be great if Africans could get round to sorting out their current ongoing modern day slavery problems instead of whinging about slavery that was abolished in the west over 150 years ago.

We need to teach our kids that the British were the first to abolish slavery 200 years ago and a lot of money and manpower was spent to do so.
