A global movement to seek reparations for slavery has been forged during a summit in Ghana this week, with the African Union partnering with Caribbean countries to form a “united front” to persuade European nations to pay for “historical mass crimes”.
The partnership between the 55-member African Union and the Caribbean Community (Caricom) of 20 countries will aim to intensify pressure on former slave-owning nations to engage with the reparations movement.
So the descendants of those who sold the slaves are seeking compensation for having sold the slaves?

Steaming, I believe it’s called.
Ooga booga, me want money.
They’re not seeking reparations so much as they’re looking to renegotiate the prices.
Seriously, somebody in the EU, British government, or both is going to sign you up to this.
We are already paying the Oogaboogageld (Dave Cameron is proud to announce). We’ll be told to pay more, because that’s how our politics works now.
People who have no representation (native Brits) are fair game for looting.
Can’t we just return all the descendants of slaves? After all, we’re constantly told how much they’re benefitting us so they should be glad to have them .
But what would we do without all those doctors and engineers? The country would fall apart.

The ham-faced grifter has only been back in office for 48 hours ffs.
P.s. perhaps someone should tell the “diplomatic editor” that in this country we borrow and then give away billions of pounds not dollars.
I naturally think the blacks should pay us reparations for the slaves they dumped on us.
After all, just by listening to their descendants whine, one can tell that the quality was lousy.
John Galt – I suppose we’d just have to tough it out.
Steve – Lol…
There is a very obvious solution here.
Just go and bag a few hundred black slaves and put them to work somewhere. Current slave owning nations – which I imagine includes most these primeval shiteholes – it would appear appear are exempt from censure, financial, moral or any other.
But a lot of those nations allowed slave ownership before the Europeans ever turned up and technically speaking U.K. wasn’t a slave owning nation, it was a slave trading nation, but then so were a large number of those demanding reparations.
Lot of lawyers and activists making a lot of money out of administering claims and payments, this is financial grift by the chattering classes. A recent Canadian settlement of $500 million to $750 million to First Nations the reported legal fees were $75 million (payments to claimants are capped at $25k per person)
