Good, I'm glad for you--now you can pay reparations to American black people who were never slaves because Brits are reponsible for the slaves being brought to the US in the first place. Sounds reasonable to me.I suppose that it i a start. These people live off the fruits of slavery even today.

Of course you would.If this were America I would tell the black panhandlers that they are fortunate to be Americans rather than goat herders in Africa

Why does this gesture harm you Norm.?Slavery was a tradition in Africa centuries before any were brought out of that continent.
So, in effect, we are paying reparations to people who’s ancestors were themselves slave owners?
So are we also paying plantation owners as well?

Over here and in America black folk have been mistreated and held back. Something should be done.
