Those African Kings Owe Me: Who owes what to whom when it comes to slavery reparations?

Who owes what to whom?

The supply line of history rarely lies. If the ancestors of people who enslaved people owe reparations to the ancestors of those who were enslaved, then perhaps it is time for a “conversation” -- as the left likes to put it -- about paying reparations to the descendants of people who fought and died to help free enslaved people.

Someone ought to put the question to CNN’s Don Lemon -- who endlessly lectures about the moral necessity of paying reparations to the descendants of the enslaved -- even if the people who will be “asked’ (another term the left likes to use when the left means forced) to pay them not only had nothing to do with enslaving anyone but had ancestors who fought and died to free the enslaved.

Thus was Don Lemon schooled by Hilary Fordwich, an expert on the British Royal family, who was recently interview-attacked by Lemon following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. She had come to discuss the royal succession. Lemon invited her there to gaslight her about “slavery.”

But the gas lit up like a blowtorch in Lemon’s face. 

“And then you have those who are asking for reparations,” Lemon began.  “For colonialism… and they’re wondering, you know, a hundred billion dollars… twenty-four-billion dollars…  (the reference here is to the wealth attributed to the royal family) some people want to be paid back… and members of the public (he means himself) are wondering, ‘why are we suffering when you are, when you have all of this vast wealth . .. those are legitimate concerns…”

This worked on Fordwich almost as “effectively” as the “vaccines” that failed to immunize anyone.

I’m friends with a couple born in the UK who now live in the US. The Irish were known to make slaves of people born in England. Doesn’t this mean that Barak Obama, because of his Irish mother, owes them reparations?

When you look at strife around the world, much, if not most of it, is centered around what someone’s ancestors did to someone else’s ancestors. Too bad we can’t figure out how to stop this.
