MSNBC host Ali Velshi
'As beloved as Elizabeth was, she also represented an institution that had a long and ugly history of brutal colonialism, violence, theft and slavery.
'For many centuries, the British robbed other nations of their wealth and power, and exploited their people,' he continued.
'Even as Queen Elizabeth's reign largely marked the beginning of the post colonial era, the horrors that her long line of ancestors inflicted upon many generations of people across the globe continues to be the source of pain.
British Historian Andrew Roberts responded that Velshi's assertion is simply not true.
'I think when you look at all the opinion polls, we're about 80 to 85 percent in favor of having a constitutional monarchy — whoever's on the throne,' he began. 'So I think this is extremely overdone, frankly.
'Rather, I'm afraid to say, as your introduction was, if we had given so much pain to people throughout history, why was Prince Charles chosen by every single Commonwealth country — many of which are former imperial countries?'
The comments seemed to make Velshi irate, telling Roberts to 'hold on a second.
'Are you really denying what I just said about British colonialism?' an exasperated Velshi asked his guest. 'Andrew, are you really doing that?'
As Roberts continues to say the UK abolished slavery more than 30 years before the United States did......
.....well the history lesson continued....

Opinion:
MSNBC is a soapbox for angry racist far left extremist Democrats.
Ali Velshi is holding grievances against past generations of British and projecting them upon the present living generation of British.
To put this in perspective it would be like a present generation American hating the present generation of Japanese or Germans for WW2.
This is what the racist Democrats do every day.
They shamelessly hate monger.
One of the Left's newest woke terms is "colonialism"
The Latino nationalist Democrat congresswoman AOC seems to also be fond of that term.
Whenever you hear the Left use the word "colonialism" it is hate mongering and racism.
But notice that they seem to enjoy the fruits of living in the country of their perceived oppressors.
