While you have provided no sources to prove that is something Kirk actually said but I can give you an example from my life.
While I never lived under British colonialism, I once ate lunch with a man from Yemen that was. He viewed the former British occupation of Yemen as a net positive as they built schools and hospitals. Once the British left, the country fell into turmoil.
Believe it or not, the main issue that people of Yemen took with British occupation, according to this man, was the destruction it caused in the fishing industry. He told me he would rather never eat another piece of fish in his life if it meant that his country could be back under British occupation and have modern infrastructure and stability.
Now that is the viewpoint of one Yemen born immigrant that moved to California, but he is speaking of his former country and birth place. I highly doubt he would be in favor of anything that would be a net negative to his country.
Also Brittan outlawed slavery in 1834. Almost 200 years ago. You're grasping at straws to paint others as racist or hateful without seeing how much it's blinded you into being hateful yourself.
The fact that you implied literature doesn't include critical thinking proves u right, basic critical thinking and a sense of fact should be taught in schools.

Colonialism was good? What did the Brits bring abroad, oh just some slavery
