Jane Austen's love of tea is to be investigated as part of a 'historical interrogation' into her links to the slave trade.
The celebrated author wrote Pride and Prejudice and Mansfield Park while living in a cottage in the Hampshire village of Chawton, which has now been turned into a museum.
Staff at the home devoted to the 18th century author are now re-evaluating her place in 'Regency era colonialism'.

Oh good God.
They have to soil everything in sight. The bastards.

This is CRAZY! I drink tea, I wear Cotton. I’m an American of Chinese descent. Am I a White “Racist”? Please let me know/ sarc.
May these absolute morons go to a quick hell.
Yes.. yes, you are. 🤔
Bones-in-the-nose savages can't themselves create anything of beauty, so they have to tear those who do, and the fruits of their genius, down.
I guess anything other than the existence of mud huts provokes feelings of inferiority in them.
How many people in England are right now using products made by Slave Labor in China, right now?
So black slaves picked tea leaves? In China?
I seriously recommend the book “White Gold” to all on this forum. It tells some of the story of Moslem (Muslim?) slavery: lots and lots of WHITE folk were enslaved by practitioners of the “religion of peace”.
Oh SNAP! Sort of changes the narrative, huh?
SB: "When I stopped for gas, were you worried that we would be late?"By the way, I'm drinking tea as I write this.Child 1: "No, they don't care if we're late."
SB: "What do they care about?"
Child 1: "They just want us to think that we're horrible people because we enslaved people hundreds of years ago, and we must atone for our sins."
Both children laugh.
Child 1: "They just want you to give an opinion. It's not about something we've learned."
SB: "Is this school worse about that sort of thing than the other schools you've attended?"
Child 1: "The school I attended last year" (a charter school) "was worse!"
Child 2: "It hasn't been like this at any school I've ever attended before."
SB: "The California public schools and the California private school were not this bad?"
Child 2: "No. They left you alone. These people are always trying to indoctrinate us."
SB: "Do the other children believe what they're saying? That you're all horrible people who must atone for your sins?"
Child 1: "Some do."

Better to have left those slaves in Africa to be kidnapped solely for the purpose of being raped. That’s what is happening STILL today in Africa and no one cares enough to put an end to it.
Remind me again who put those cotton picking and tea growing folks up for sale to the slave traders. Oh, yeah, it was their own countrymen. Africans. The BLM need to shut the heck up. If there are reparations, Africa should be paying and apologizing.
Slow news day at the UK Daily Mail must have been a wild week end OH WAIT the bars just opened last week.
lol Why, yes you are! Now if you wore blood diamonds and bought Nike shoes, you’d just be one of them.
