As well as cancellation of all debts owed to western countries. I note that they ignored the Indian Ocean slave trade or reparations from Arab countries which dates to ca. 600 AD and earlier into antiquity.

Wait, so Africa wants money from other countries? Shouldn't they be paying themselves since they're the ones that sold their own people in the first place?

Didn't the African nations get paid for the slaves when they sold their own into slavery?

Edit: Beat me to it :P

Technically if anyone should be the pay-or of reparations…it should be the African countries that sold the slaves from there….

Pay up Africa…the interest earned on those transactions should be more than enough….

There's a lot of evidence that Canada cheated during the War of 1812. So surely this means we're entitled to their eastern seaboard now, right?

Elections are when people find out what politicians stand for, and politicians find out what people will fall for.

There already has been billions given to Africa over the years. Call it aid, call it reparations, but not a penny more.

I wonder if Africa will just credit the $1 trillion plus in aid they have already received since the end of colonialism?

Good. They should demand it. And England, Portugal, the Dutch and Spain should pay up.

I mean the Caribbean islands were their territories and all.

And if we say no?

I've heard your demands, and after quick but careful consideration the answer is "No." Thank you for your attention on this matter. Have a nice day.

This is an excellent idea. Give each descendant $20,000. The only stipulation is that they have to board a plane to leave the country and never be allowed to return.

The intent of reparations is to make someone whole. So if they aren't whole because they lost a lot of people…

I have an idea on how to facilitate that but it's going to take a lot of planes and ships.

Unfortunately there are lots of people in this country, who vote by one means or another, who think it is a good idea.

Here is how the U.S. should calculate the amount of reparations owed: take the total number of African slaves imported into the United States, assign a dollar value of a human being in current dollars. From that sum deduct 1.) all foreign aid this country sent to Africa; 2.) the cost of military intervention in Africa including the North Africa campaign in WW2; and 3.) costs and lives lost from piracy and terrorism originating from Africa.

We will provide wiring instructions for African nations to send us our net rebate.

Do they understand it was a slave TRADE.

Meaning that's goods and services were given to them which they willingly accepted in exchange for people which they had kidnapped. They're all descendants of human traffickers.

Love this quote

Quote:
The conference leaders also called on countries formerly involved in the slave trade to offer their "full, formal and unconditional apologies".


Ghana's President John Dramani Mahama told delegates: "History does not ask us to inherit guilt, but it asks us to inherit responsibility".


The Ghanaian president was one of the main ones leading this talk and guess what? .

Mansa Musa, a West African, was the richest person in history.

His wealth was achieved through slave trade.

As has been said. It is essential for Africans to acknowledge their own history. The Muslim African leader Mansa Musa was the most significant slaveholder in contemporary history. For example, during his pilgrimage to Mecca, he brought along 12,000 slaves. He was known to sell slaves to anyone and everyone.

This isn't true. Millions of people are enslaved across the world right now, including tens if not hundreds of thousands in the USA in the form of sex slavery.

Slavery is still a major problem world wide, including Western countries. If any of these fools actually cared about slavery, they would put their efforts into ending the ongoing versions of it, not trying to get a handout for a form of slavery that ended more than a century ago that they didn't suffer from.

Long ago, I had a Captain from Louisiana, cool dude, who had a saying I thought was funny when I was a young guy.


I have an M16A2 and an Abrams tank behind me.

You don't.

And sometimes, the world is just that simple

This is what happens when you stop teaching history. You can ignore the real events and make up your own fairly tale.

Give the leader of each country demanding reparations three chances to spell the word reparations correctly.

If they can accomplish that, they can have some money.

We will end up owing about a hundred bucks.

The problem is that they are not prone to put much effort into anything and they are prone to looking for handouts. It would go against their grain to do as you suggest.
