Well... think of all those kids that may have existed had they not been castrated, and all those slaves who died of complications due to the castration... 3) the host is clearly bias on this, misrepresenting Rafe's point then interrupting him when he replies to the woman that was allowed to speak uninterrupted. Rafe did not say that an apology thats already been made is all thats required. He very clearly said in response to the point that part of reparation requires an apology and a vow to not repeat it, that that has already been done and im sure you guys all watched this shitshow of a video 4) Rafe makes an incredibly relevant point that they are being compared to the wrong people. The west were already starting to live longer, earning more, making more, engineering etc.. while African nations were doing bugger all frankly, but these nations are compared to the place they went, not the place they came from. 5) She really overexaggerated the effect of slavery on the west and its a nice coincidence that she completely glosses over Rafe's claim that the amount spent to stop other slaves being transported was >= the profits of slavery

Reparations are a system of redress for an egregious injustice sanctioned/committed by a State against a group of it's citizens. European nations enslaved a group of their citizens, enshrining enslavement as a permanent n hereditary status. That cannot be said of African slavers or Arab nations. That's why.

[@cokesquirrel]

Shouldn't they be asking for money from the original African tribes that sold on the slaves? If I had a choice between having to pay $500 for reparations out of my own pocket or burning $5,000 out of my own money I would burn the 5,000 just out of spite

[@spacefanatic]

No reparations should be paid as none of these people were kept as slaves. If they want reparations they should speak to African nations because they started the slave trade by collecting other Africans and selling them to Arabs. The UK ended slavery at a huge cost in men. If they get reparations I and many other people could demand reparations from Italy, Scandanavian countries etc. as we were once kept as slaves by these nations. However, I have never met a person who thinks we should do that.

If these countries ACTUALLY did the right thing and improved and were not in the dire disgrace they find themselves today , would reparations be a question at the table of the " privileged black victims " ? ill bet not . One only has to look at Zimbabwe as the perfect example of flawed " after colonization" independence.

[@Teadon86]

If you demand of others to atone for past sins then you are holding their children and children's children, generation after generation, responsible in perpetuity until the wrong is remedied. People who are far removed in time to whatever transgression reparation is demanded for are told to toil to benefit those who claim inherited victimhood. This is slavery imposed on a group through the avenue of guilt, siphoning vitality from people's moral fibre to recognize historic wrongdoings and their empathic capacity. Insidious enough as it is it doesn't stop there, those who demand reparations turn the thumbscrews with the glee of a child that if resources are given there is a promise of forgiveness - someday. These accusers don't shy away from dividing those in the West who are to pay reperations from those who are to be exempt from this moral blight. They divide by blood, by creed, by race; apologizing for this transgression with history and whatabouts. They place on Whites the onus of bloodsin as they hold Whites who are not guilty of past wrongs as guilty by racial association. To place this burden, this moral claim, on any other racial group would elicit a backlash on a global scale and unending concessions of appeasement. Rhetoric of such nature would be labeled as pre-genocidal but, since this is placed on Whites, we accept it and feeds it. We must lay this racial revenge narrative to rest or it will reignite a racial feud that will claim millions of lives and erase entire civilizations.

In the west we take accountability for who we vote in cos those are the ones creating and applying the laws, if Africa as a continent wants to thrive they should do the same cos that continent is the riches in terms of natural resources If this victim mentality continues to plague Africa ull have Africans nations being poor still even in 2050

Following on that logic the Europe can request compensation from the arabs, turks and mongols.

Give them a free ticket back to Africa 😂😂😂😂😂

So, cos your family was involved now you’re going to drag everyone else down with you- thanks for that!

[@JaketheJust]

Brazil ought to start paying first, and the middle East nations that started the African slave trade that lasted over 1300 against Europes 300 African trade. Britain was the only nation that stopped the slave trade.

[@joycegibbs5267]

not the only one but about 2nd or 3rd I believe?

[@elizabethmcintyre8529]

Britain has already paid up we only finished paying it in 2015thier getting nothing else from us our tax payers have paid it

[@joycegibbs5267]

[@captricharddee3634]

Where does this end? Slavery Reparations to Caribbean? I'm in The UK, so who do I speak to about reparations? The Vikings? The Romans? The Germanics?

hey @rafe ... Tippu Tip built a slave trading empire, and is considered the second wealthiest Muslim slave trader in history !!!!

That woman may have a PhD (from where?) and all the buzz words but talks a load of convoluted nonsense. Raising her voice doesn't make her arguments any the clearer.

What exactly does climate change have to do with slavery? How far back does the slavery thing go? Egypt? Assyria? China? Come on...

[@ianshoe1269]

Pay them £20 trillion? Are they planning on giving us back the Caribbean Islands?

[@leemackie8434]

They need an apology from African countries and citizens for their crimes and slavery passed and they should pay because they captured and sold their citizens.

[@patriciasanderson2171]

Doesn't foreign aid count? Why on earth bother anymore.

[@joycegibbs5267]

I keep writing about Foreign Aid. How much have we paid since that started ?

[@VikingKong.]

As a British person I think Italy needs to pay me 30 trillion pounds for that time when the Romans invaded Britain.

[@versloe1]

its not about us getting some money ???? 20 TRILLION POUNDS !!!!! yeah that IS about the money !!!

[@UKdraxion]

I'm paying nothing, my family have never owned any slaves, so do one......... Have they asked any African nations if they will be paying?

[@joycegibbs5267]

you are, it's called Foreign Aid !!

[@elvinl.490]

Black Slavery finished in Saudi Arabia and neighbouring Muslim Countries ( Kuwait, Oman, Yemen etc ) in 1962. And the last Country to abolish Black Slavery was Mauritania in 1989 ( Arabs slaving Blacks ). And Black Slavery in the Muslim World lasted 1200 years ( in the West lasted 300 years ). Do someone asked the Muslim World for reparations? 😅😅

[@RonTodd-gb1eo]

Anybody arguing for reparations should declare if they would expect to get any of the money for themselves.

[@kazsmudge5559]

Free loaders are always trying to get something for nothing. Certain people will do anything to avoid working for money.

How about afro tribes paying reparations for every Arab and euro traveller who was kidnapped and killed,and then eaten?

[@leandrodelmistro2238]

That’s so stupid! I would not pay them anything! They don’t owe them anything!

[@divvy1400yam600]

Well I think we ought to bill someone for the millions of water taps we have provided free to African nations. These people are the antecedents of the West Indians who revitalised the UK economy in the 1950's. So they say ? Whty are members of the Ottoman empire NOT being asked fo reparations ?

[@ryklynuk]

I totally agree with reparations being paid. African rulers made insane amounts of money selling us those slaves. So when it comes to reparations, let follow the supply chain right back to the beginning. African Rulers selling African people. Let the blame lie when it should, not with the transporters carrying cargo but the people who supplied that cargo!

[@Upperroad4480]

People must realise that slavery was criminalised by Henry the 8 th,and the government couldn't be everywhere at once.they had governing business to do,so couldn't see if any criminals were going off in ships to collect slaves.heres another thing.a slave buyer had to crawl on kiss the feet of a Zulu chief before he was allowed to buy a slave from him.that is not told much is it?

If they want such reparations, then leave the nation’s you’re currently residing in and return to the nation you were originally from!
