Or maybe it was rape survivors standing up to Harvey Weinstein? Or who knows? Because the context for his glib lecturing is one where people with little to no power are banding together to shout down people with a lot of power who have said or done some pretty horrible things.

#MetaphorDeceitLugenpresseFakeNews "This is what the Czech Republic has to say about our recent election.
'The danger to America is not Joe Biden, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of a Biden presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Biden, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Biden, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their president'"

#ReasoningFallacyStrawman i.e. because our modern understanding of slavery has evolved with humanity (and therefore a prior understanding exists, which wasn't critical) any attempt to conceptualise the practice as anything other than critical can supposedly be deemed disingenuous: "Tegelijkertijd is er veel af te dingen op Halsema's toespraak en het rapport. Ten eerste betekent het bestempelen van de Nederlandse betrokkenheid bij slavernij als een misdaad tegen de menselijkheid een onverantwoorde uitholling van die term. Het heeft weinig zin om iets wat in grote delen van de wereld eeuwenlang de normaalste zaak van de wereld was als zodanig te benoemen. Het leed van de totslaafgemaakten was verschrikkelijk, maar was daarmee nog niet fout. Althans, niet door de ogen van destijds. Het besef dat slavernij onacceptabel en on-menselijk is, dateert pas vanaf het einde van de iade eeuw.Toen ontstond het idee dat mensen gelijk zijn én de behoefte om slaver-nij te rechtvaardigen. Die historische nuance ontbreekt in het rapport en in Halsema's toe-spraak Ten tweede, in de ogen van nu zijn sla-vernij en slavenhandel afschuwelijk, maar wie is of was ervoor verantwoordelijk? Na-mens wie moet de regering excuses aan-bieden? Halsema was buitengewoon te-genstrijdig op dit punt."

Historical images of #PowerControlExploitationChildLabour seemingly being used as #ReasoningFallacyStrawman that exploitation is not directly correlated with race (racial discrimination) - presumably offering up the explanation that such situations are solely the consequence of a lack-of-opportunity, and certainly not discrimination. The argument seeks to shift focus back onto the issue of #IdentityClassBlueCollar #IdentityWhite. This type of argument follows the logic that #OtheringDiscriminationRacism isn't an issue because people of all races are able to be discriminated against (and so discrimination against black people is simply one example of many, rather than a category of itself - and so deserves no special treatment). This image (from the above collection) seems to typify this thesis: http://www.veltmaete.nl/wp-content/gallery/white/29.jpg (which strongly implies that #IdentityIndigenousBlackPeopleOfColourBIPOC are being exploited by white people) which is contrasted with this image: http://www.veltmaete.nl/wp-content/gallery/white/30.jpg (which because it includes a white boy shining shoes - that was cropped out of the first image - strongly implies that race isn't the determining issue).
collage conflates two separate events in an effort to express a #ReasoningFallacyStrawman critcal of #PhenomnProtestDemonstration
the collection of images conflate violence and anarchy with legitimate #PhenomnProtestDemonstration. They serve to incite #TheoryAffectiveResponsePanic through the use of a #ReasoningFallacyStrawman. Those most susceptible are likely those invested in #PoliticsStatusQuo and who see #CauseActivismSocial and the Right To Protest as a #MetaphorThreatIdeological to the sanctity of their #PleaLawAndOrder #ReasoningFallacyAppealToTraditionValues. The imagery is a #CharacterisationOversimplification / #ReasoningFallacyFalseEquivalence, most likely attractive to those who recognise the portrayal in terms of a #ReasoningFallacyConfirmationBias.
The images all appear to show #ToponymEuropeUKSouthWestEnglandBristol. On the left are images of #PhenomnStatueToppling of slave trader #IRLHistoricalFigureEdwardColston / #PowerControlChattelSlavery from June 2020 i.e. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-52955868 The protest was in response to and international outrage about the brutal murder of #IRLDeceasedGeorgeFloyd. On the right are images from the #LiteralKillTheBillProtest showing violence that erupted between protesters and police in March 2021 i.e. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/mar/26/hundreds-sit-down-outside-bristol-police-station-in-kill-the-bill-protest where the Government is seeking to extend their powers under the #LegislationUK2021PoliceCrimeSentencingAndCourtsBill i.e. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/police-crime-sentencing-and-courts-bill-2021-factsheets/police-crime-sentencing-and-courts-bill-2021-protest-powers-factsheet
"His actual words were:
The British Empire was far worse than the Nazis. They lasted longer and killed many more people.
The trouble for this 'professor' is that, grammatically speaking, 'they' (being plural) has to refer to a plural noun and the only one in the first sentence is 'Nazis', So, what he actually said, as opposed to what he meant to say, was that the Nazis killed 'many more people' (than those killed during the course of the Empire). And I'd agree with that.
If a white professor had made this wild claim against a non-white country, the politically correct hate-mob on Twitter, and other woke warriors, would probably have denounced it as racist.
Stirring up hate & making basic mistakes in English. Not doing too well, 'Professor'."

Addendum: this argument functions as a #ReasoningFallacyStrawman through skirting the central claim of the argument (about the realities of The British Empire) and instead seeking to criticise the grammatical correctness of Andrews' point. The mention of 'professor' in the response is logically an attack on Andrews' status (as a senior, university academic i.e. #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated) or perhaps more generally an attack on the status of #EDUUKBirminghamCityUniversityBCU where he is Professor of #LiteralFieldBlackStudies) or perhaps in a more coded way, through being #BehaviourCondescending i.e. seeking to diminish him as covert #OtheringDiscriminationRacism.

Addendum: #ReasoningFallacyStrawman used to justify a social conservative perspective held by the poster; in this case, a criticism of socially progressive i.e. enlightened/aware perspectives. This is commonly characterised pejoratively as being 'woke'. The comments appears to be wrapped up in a general sense of frustration of receiving criticism for believing in outmoded ideas/beliefs i.e. being a member of an 'out-group'.

Addendum: points to an #OtheringHateAntisemitism #OtheringHateAntisemiticCanard (conspiracy theory) about some sort of overarching goal of world domination mounted by #IdentityJewish people (in this case, domination of mainstream media).
The canard is interesting in the way that it seeks to frame such supposed malevolent intent as a form of 'mind-control' (manipulation) where in their nativity, and having gone against sort of 'predefined natural, social order', such supposed 'white liberals' have received their ultimate punishment i.e. 'they deserve what's coming to them!'. The image collage functions as a #PhenomnCautionaryTale for others who might stray from such a 'natural order' (especially, those conservatives who are more excepting of liberal values).
The reality of course, is that a random (and misrepresentative sample) of domestic violence cases has been amassed in such a way that it feels plausible, when it is in fact a non sequitur i.e. http://folksonomy.co/?permalink=3548 where just because some black men have inflicted violence on some white people - there is a #ReasoningFallacyFormalNonSequitur #ReasoningFallacyStrawman that black men are innately dangerous (or that all mixed-race #MetaphorPurityRacialWhiteWomenAndBlackMen relationships must inevitably end in disaster - because doing so breaks with natural laws and contravenes #MetaphorHierarchyStratificationRacial). Note that I assume that such a 'natural order' is religiously defined e.g. some sort of perversion of (Old Testament) Christian belief.
There is also an assumption that 'liberals' are easily fooled because of their over willingness to accept difference and to challenge established tradition i.e. break natural rules. #OtheringDiscriminationRacism
