Chris is slightly wrong about the Brits originating colonialism
Actually it was the Spanish and Portuguese, but the UK as well as other European countries followed sadly. That is why I think it is wrong the the UK is the global "whipping boy" regarding the anger of former colonial nations. The anger should be directed at most of Europe not just one country. On addition to the Middle East, who were very active as well. The Arab slave trade is older than the the European one.
