If a country has owned, traded in, and profited from slavery and colonialism, it cannot escape or outrun the legacies of these foundational exploitations.
So, your examination of Sudan’s slave raiding in the 1980s and 1990s is where?

The shame is part of the kink of reading the Guardian.
Crikey – Nesquik two days running?!
My forebears were agricultural and minor tradesmen and women. They didn’t profit from slavery or empire. So I owe Nesrine precisely nowt. And IYDLIFO applies.
Actually, Nesrine owes me for living in my country.
Is there a nation anywhere in the world which has not practiced slavery at some point?
Human Rights House has this to say about slavery in Sudan:
“Slavery has been endemic in Sudan for thousands of years. Today the Sudanese slave trade persists as a complex network of buyers, sellers, and middlemen that operates most actively when times are favourable to the practice.”
And they don’t mean ‘modern slavery’ either.
As far as I am aware this person is muslim. As such she believes that she is part of the Islamic master race and everyone else are nothing more than mindless beasts. As Muslims have practised slavery forever and their false prophet was a slave trader and exhorts slavery in the quran, she won’t see anything wrong with slavery in Sudan as it was the muslims doing it to the kuffarr in the south.To even suggest this Tim makes you guilty of islamophobia. The van will be round this afternoon to collect you for reeducation.

And Nesire Malik happily provides the shame those white people so desperately want. She has, as Malcolm X pointed out, a house negro mentality. Catering to The Man so as to be able to be in the house, rather than in the field. That’s the extent of her concern over slavery.
Dennis – she’s earning a good living by telling white people how much she despises them.
There’s no house negroes involved, it’s more like a professional dominatrice servicing her creepy pervert clients.
Rhoda, those white people lucky enough to be able to afford to live in California and rich enough to not be living in a tent on the sidewalk are being pushed to pay reparations to black people. White people who never owned slaves in a state which never allowed slavery must now bow down and pay penance to people who were never slaves.
This is one reason you must never entertain these people in any way whatsoever, because they will not stop no matter what you do to appease them.
TW on the subject of Man Made Global Warming please take note.
It’s a bit like Greta Thunberg pissing and moaning over Western CO2 emissions and her silence on that by India and China. It’s only a crime when white people without small hats do it.
So Nesrine can go phuq herself with a cactus for her hypocrisy.
Yes, slavery was (and is) and abomination, but the British did more than anyone else to stamp it out more than 150 years ago and has the butchers bill of dead sailors and marines it took to stamp out the West Africa trade.
As for the financial cost, we’re still paying the interest on the compensation from 150 years ago, so any “reparations” are long settled in both blood and treasure.
“If a country has owned, traded in, and profited from slavery and colonialism, it cannot escape or outrun the legacies of these foundational exploitations.”
Why the heck not, Nesrine?
Is this some iron sociological law based upon inductive generalisation? Or is it some metaphysical claim to do with karma or divine retribution? People escape the consequences of worse than slavery. People literally get away with murder.
It’s a very pre-enlightenment Old Testament thing, guilt of the ancestors is carried by the descendants. It’s irrelvant what I do, my guilt is already pre-assigned. So, what incentive is there for me to be “good” then? May as well just go and invade Poland.
“If a country has owned, traded in, and profited from slavery…”
Countries didn’t do this, people did this.
Which is more striking? The stupidity or the hypocrisy?
It’s also a very “group”ist thing. You are guilty for the actions of somebody in a group that we identify you with that you have nothing to do with. Ok then, all Muslims are guilty of terrorism carried out by any Muslim. YOU are demanding this, YOU cannot complain when random Muslims are set fire to outside their mosques.
It just shows who the target of the grift is. If she’d targeted descendants of the actual slave owners then they’d have uniformly told her to go phuq herself.
Whereas lefty governments have always been open to the idea, presumably so they get the blacks voting for the local lefties so they get their “reparations”.
Where’s our reparations for decades of black crime and welfare payments?
. . . when random Muslims are set fire to outside their mosques.
Have you noticed how quickly that story has been memory holed? Did you see how heavy the image pixelation was of the suspect being detained? Enough such that casual observers might have missed that the suspect, Mohammed Abbkr, was black.
@pjf – in fact he was a Sudanese sunni muslim, so this bitch stands accused of Islamaphobia by her own logic. Burn the witch!
There’s no house negroes involved, it’s more like a professional dominatrice servicing her creepy pervert clients.
Serving white folk for the pleasure of white folk is the very definition of a house negro.
Dennis – she’s earning a good living by telling white people how much she despises them.
As does Yasmin Alibhai Brown, or Afua Hirsch..
Seems we have an infestation of parasites
