Doctor Peterson, as a Nigerian I want to thank you for this video and I also want to express my condolences to the Queen's family and the people of the UK. One thing that many of us in Africa cannot deny is that slavery was ended by the British during the era of colonialism they were involved with. Heck! My own ancestors were slavers and also enslaved by other Africans and this stopped thanks to the British. Plus, despite what most assume, we Africans absolutely value the positives brought here because of colonialism like modern medicine, technology, western education systems, nation building (as imperfect as it is, it's better than what was there before), better economic and social systems (capitalism and liberalism) As a Nigerian, one thing that makes me happy is how most of the people in my country did not use the death of Queen Elizabeth as some excuse to insult or whine about grievances. Most of us just expressed our condolences. The fact is that many of us bear no ill will to her or the British monarchy. Conversely, there were many statements and hot-takes from the usual suspects who just wanted to push their stupid victimhood ideology at the expense of the Queen's passing.
