European and American countries that enslaved African people and scattered them in the African Diaspora should pay reparations for their slave crimes. This came out at the historic African Union (AU) conference in the Caribbean Island of Barbados, set to tackle the integration of the African Diaspora and the continent.
Leading scholars, ambassadors and government ministers from Africa and beyond are examining economic relations and the responsibility of the slave masters in undoing the slave trade damage they inflicted on Africa and her Diaspora.
With song and the beating of drums, the African people in the Diaspora of the Caribbean Islands, set a stage for the critical discussions on what the European and American slave masters should do for their crimes of transporting millions of Africans across the Atlantic in the infamous Transatlantic slave trade which ended 200 years ago.
Addressing the conference, South Africa's Social Development Minister Zola Skweyiya argued that the Caribbean nations are correct to demand reparations for the slave trade. Skweyiya says the countries who are responsible for slave trade must take responsibility of their actions.
Diaspora Solidarity
The African Union is leading this series of consultative conferences across the world to make a case for the sustainable economic development and integration of Africa and her diaspora. It seeks to promote greater investment and trade flows in the diaspora.
Solidarity and speaking with one voice in multi-lateral platforms is another area of focus. Secretary General of the regional block of Caribbean nations Edwin Carrington says this drive by the AU and the Caribbean will result in a huge reaffirmation of the place of Africans in the world.
Although reparations for the slave trade are a critical part of this drive for greater economic development of the African nations in the diaspora, Carrington says in the final analysis Africans will be judged by what they can do by themselves and for themselves.
The regional processes have been held in New York, London, Brasilia, Johannesburg and now the Caribbean. From the Caribbean they will move to Paris and then Ethiopia. These processes will lead to a ministerial conference in South Africa in November and then culminate to an AU African Diaspora Summit early next year.

So by the same criteria, children bought here illegally by their parents, or born here to illegal alien parents, are responsible for the actions of their parents and should be deported along with their parents since we are establishing that descendants have responsibility for their ancestors' transgressions.
Q.E.D.
Africans, Muslims, Arabs, and Europeans enslaved Africans.
If it hadn’t happened that way, none of them would even exist, would they? Maybe they should be paying us.
Fortunate for him; not for his slave ancestor.
I’d be glad to pay reparations to all African-Americans living in the U.S. for past slavery as long as we can offset what we owe them by the value of the benefit inured to them of living in this country compared to living in the Hellhole of Africa. Given that, they owe us about a billion or so, at least.

For each such American who accepts this offer an African will be given the chance to qualify for a Green Card.
Problem solved.
The point is there are no slaves in real time in the free world.
In the USA alone, the most destitute live better by far than those who crossed the ocean in the 18th and 19th century. Reparations is nothing but a means to convince people that are content with life to give to those who are not content.
Those who have had slaves and willingly promoted such are long dead.
Good idea. Here’s another one.
With DNA testing we should be able to tell which tribe a person originally was from.
We then compare the socio-economic status of the current tribal people,and their diasopora counterparts.
If the displaced are better off, they owe us reparations.
If they are equal, it’s a “push”.
If the Africans are better off, we use the money paid to us
by the first group to send the “unfortunates” back to their home tribe.
Stupid people have been pissing me off. Where’s my reparations?
I think Cheney knows that response! :0)
My ancestors were driven out of Ireland by the British.It could,perhaps,be said that the Brits owe reparations to *those ancestors* but they certainly don’t owe me anything because when it comes to nationality I won the lottery on the day when I was born in the United States of America.
How many hundreds of BILLIONS have we given them already? Let’s call it even and wish them luck......
I'm part nativehyphenamerican so I'm entitled for that too. The white man, he be oppressing me fo'....no wait, that's another victim class.
Take over their areas and let them know what slavery is really all about.
I am SO tired of this sh*t.
Now a new picture to be found.
