Caribbean slave descendants, some of whose ancestors worked for David Cameron's distant family, are calling for an apology and billions of pounds in reparations
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Every one of them who was transported by the Brits to the Caribbean and enslaved there should recieve reparations if they are still living.
The rest of them should thank Britain for getting their ancestors out of Africa.
My point is, if it had not been for the abomination of slavery, blacks in America would not exist at all. It is not as though they would still exist, only in Africa. There would not have been the genetic pairings that led to their very existence. We all have this. How many rapes during the myriad of invasions throughout history have led, ultimately to you and me.
My clumsy point, is that you cannot separate the good from the bad. History is history. You want reparations? What is the value of your existence?
Why do people who never owned slaves apologize and pay people who were never slaves?
They should go after other Africans, considering the European slave trade was built off of the already extant slave trade in Africa.
Excellent question.
“You could keep an army of accountants and genealogists busy for a millennium.”
What a perfect way to eliminate unemployment!
American taxpayers have spent untold billions on the descendants of our slaves. Oh and sorry about that whole slavery thing. Let’s move on.
Please follow the copyright restrictions linked above, and imposed upon Free Republic which all Freepers are expected to follow.
Thank you.
“Interestingly, England and America caused slavery to be outlawed.”
And are the only ones likely gullible enough to actually entertain the thought of reparations.
I believe the British have a saying appropriate for this reparations demands - Bugger Off!
On occasion, the Brits do have a way with words.
Pay them in Uranium.
Wonder if the Black Racist Jamaicans will compensate all the Asians they robbed, murdered, and forced out of the country after independence? Hey mon’
Asian Jamaicans ran the businesses in Jamaica because blacks were too lazy.
Now look at Jamaica after the blacks took over...its a Third World Craphole that ran off its productive citizens
Reparations? How about a boat ride back to Africa...
No kidding
The race war of black criminals on whites dwarfs anything we did to them
By a factor of 10-20
A million a year ...whites robbed....raped....assaulted or mudered by blacks
Less than 40,000 a year of the same on blacks by whites and some years no black women raped by whites
Take that John Grisham
So does that leave the door open for the jews, egytians, germans, irish, french, italians, polish,....................
That, or assimilate and acclimate, then STFU.
I demand the Mongols pay me eleventy-billion dollars for marauding through eastern Europe in the 13th century and murdering some of my ancestors. (snicker)
No Reparations Now
or EVER!
whats good for the Goose is good for the Gander.
what’s not, is not!
