Toure is a jackass. I was kinda hoping that Piers would school him that his native Britannia also owned slaves for much of their history and simply don’t have the ‘black angst’ issues that are so openly pimped in America.

The Brits did not have Negro slaves in Britain — slaves were owned and used in some of the colonies, mostly in the Caribbean. BTW, the first slave in N. America was owned by a black man, who insisted that an indentured servant should never get his freedom, thus becoming the first slave.
