[MrAkehtam]

As a Kenyan if our leaders support things it doesn't mean we do.

[JamesOutonBond]

"Don't focus on the negative". These people are insane.

[Tmanaz]

Did a historian, just play the "who cares about stuff that happened 100 years ago" card??

[shainal.joseph]

This white man is really telling a Kenyan how his own people feel about colonialism. The audacity.

[markflour]

Just tell the whole historical truth. It's simple.

[michaelccozens]

No-one who whines that we shouldn't address the whole relevant truth has any right to call themselves a "historian". They are the opposite of that; a propagandist.

[wilsonmacharia]

I am Kenyan and my grandparents were separated and tortured by the British. Britain should be ashamed

[andresanders]

His tone changed when he heard Kenya. He understood

[willjones]

They would rather for people to forgive but mainly forget. SMDH!

[beanetricemcdaniel]

The past will always be part of our future no matter how you want to put it.

[coltenite.]

Wow, now imagine how biased books made by said historians to be taught in public schools must be

[YuSoMadBra]

The British ended slavery the way M. Night Shyamalan ends a movie

[godhavemrcyonme]

As a Kenyan we never supported colonialism and oppression..

[dorothycollins]

What does the statement about Biden attending the Queen’s funeral have to do with anything???!!!???

[commonsense.]

When an English man tells you in a superior tone, how superior he is.
Straighten his teeth for him with a face high five.

[burtonschrader]

UK paid compensation. Not to the slaves-to the slave owners! Only finished payments recently.

[lateefcarrere]

The real question is: why does Andy want to gloss over the negatives, no matter how long ago they ended?
Does the Empire still feel the guilt?

[francismumo]

As A Kenyan we hardly focus on this racial and oppression garbage that we see the west go back and forth with...

[kevinbrown]

The leaders of a country is not the people of a country.

[eliudwandera]

Andrew doesn't know the relationship between the people's feelings and the diplomatic relations that leaders participate in.
