Wow so even Twitter is getting the "built on slavery" treatment. Probably fair.

Ok read this which is full of accusations that X may have benefited from the legal (at the time) trade of slavery in some undefined way. Then came to this where one of the artists they were complaining about was an early wokerati.

His 1778 oil painting - Watson and Shark - has been loaned for the exhibition and shows a Black sailor as the central figure attempting to rescue a teenage cabin boy from a shark attack.

Copley had originally painted the sailor as white but later changed his mind to include a Black figure, RA analysis revealed.

The Times says Entangled Past's catalogue also outs the academy's first president, Joshua Reynolds, to having 'benefited from the labour of a servant of African heritage' as well as profiting from those involved in the West India trade.
