meh, what did the British bring besides tea and biscuits/cookies? same coin
loosening of the still strong caste system in India.

re: Puerto Ricans
Do they even consider themselves Spanish? Never seen heard an actual Puerto Rican say that...
its generally a generic term I hear black folks used when talking about them.

I won’t ever understand why people love to claim the Moors as some benevolent group of warriors from Sudan or someplace that saved the mongrels of Europe. When in reality they were a bunch of Lord Tariq looking people who cohabited the peninsula for hundreds of years and shared knowledge and customs both ways.

There’s always this half-truth element to the things said by people like the man in the OP.

But agendas must be propagated.

I completely understand the disdain for Europe and British people . But let's not be unfactual here in the interest of stroking our own egos. When we behave like that we start to resemble white people who out of their disdain for us discredit Egypt or Mali or Ghana. Furthermore, that mindset also deprives us of learning opportunities and from seeing where we could have done better in subsaharan Africa. Credit should be given where credit is due. I'm not saying Brits were the most moral or upright people in the world, but they had a lot of heavy scientific and cultural achievements.


1) Industrialzation. Arguably they did it better than Germany.


2) Also their naval fleet was impressive. The second only to Spain post moors.


3) Also, The idea of the Constitution is formed firmly in the priciples the magna carta in the 1200s, which was the first successful attempt at documenting and restricting the power of royalty and dictators. On a cultural level, It went further than the twelve tables in rome and was more meticulous than hammurabi's code at defining the rights of the citizenry. And the vast majority of modern constitutions borrow heavily from the magna carta


4) And physics + computer science. Both newton and babbage are monumental figures. Industrialzation would not be possible without the quantified, calculus based principles that newton documented prior to being knighted.
