Free transportation to Africa should set it all right.

Where does this end? Muslims want reparations for the Crusades. Europeans demand reparations for Muslim invasions into Spain and France. Jews were enslaved by Egypt, if we believe the Bible. Serfs, peasants, pogroms, genocides, slaves up and down the timeline of history. You could keep an army of accountants and genealogists busy for a millennium.

The British Crown abolished slavery in 1834. I’m sure that all surviving former slave owners in Jamaica would be happy to personally pay reparations to any surviving former slaves from the days of legal slavery in Jamaica, just as Americans who owned slaves before 1865 would be happy to pay reparations to their surviving former slaves in the United States.
Imagine how much these professional racists and their followers could produce if they focused on contributing to their society instead of on dividing people. That waste of human life should upset all decent people. I just wish liberals were decent enough to learn.

I agree. Especially in this day and age, and Jamaican who was enslaved has a really good court case and will get a settlement worth millions.
His great-great-great-grandson? He gets to live in Jamaica instead of Burkina Faso. What is he complaining about?

Africans were enslaved quite often by their own people, then sold to Arabs who transported them to ports where they were shipped on British ships to America.
Interestingly, England and America caused slavery to be outlawed.
Only Islamic ‘nations’ still allow slavery, because the Koran tells them to retain slavery.

True, I'm part Jew myself, my great grandmother suffered twice under the pogroms by having her villages burned out from under her. If slavery reparations commence then I, and many others, should get them too for whatever happened in the past, if you want to be fair about it. I could use the dough, I mean, my mother just passed away, I could use, and need it, for a fresh start ya know. I think I'll type up a demand letter and sent it off to Vladimir Putin. B-P
Seriously, you're right, we'd be tied up for years, either that or there will a South Park idea where everyone sues everyone.

liberals of neither category...naive nor corrupt want to KNOW anything that won’t support their pitiful propaganda.
the corrupt ones know better,....the naive ones will FOLLOW their HEARTS...before learning how to think about much of anything.
there must be a time cycle for these incessant demands for reparations but I cant remember the last time they were being bandied about

...are calling for an apology and billions of pounds in reparations
Somehow I don't think the apology is as important to them as the billions of pounds.

Why should people who weren’t alive pay for the misdeeds of the dead? Why should the descendants get paid for something that never happened to them? It doesn’t work like that. Slaves weren’t governmentally owned but were owned by individuals. The dead slaves don’t care and certainly won’t get to benefit from such an action. Aplogies and reparations are pointless. Way to go. Using your dead ancestors who suffered to fill your own dirty pockets.
