Well the English got the Irish back.
There were far more Irish slaves imported to North America than African.
Now, as a Jew I want my reparations from enslavement in Africa.
There were actually very few Africans imported by the British to North America. What they did import they mostly sent to the islands.
And I think you should go for it.
Everybody has ancestors who were badly treated. We need to make their descendants pay.
Or we could just let it go and live a happy life but what is the fun in that?
Well, the people who left with Moses did take a lot of Egyptian gold and silver with them...
Years ago, when “reparations 1.0” was making the rounds I brought up the same point about my Irish ancestors demanding reparations from the British. The answer was usually “well that’s different!” The next question from me- “how and why is it different?” usually went unanswered.
