Mansa Musa was the African ruler of the Mali Empire in the 14th century. When Mansa Musa, a Muslim, took a pilgrimage to Mecca in 1324 he reportedly brought a procession of 60,000 men and 12,000 slaves. Slavery was prevalent in many West and Central African societies before and during the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The richest man ever. King of Mali. I studied it.

In 1833, Britain used £20 million, 40% of its national budget, to buy freedom for all slaves in the Empire. The amount of money borrowed for the Slavery Abolition Act was so large that it wasn't paid off until 2015. Which means that living British citizens helped pay to end the slave trade !!!

As an immigrant myself, I simply cannot understand why the white population in Britain have to beat themselves up over how immigrants should be made to feel and must be made to feel. If this young black man feels so aggrieved about his ancestors please let him fight his feelings from the country of origin. I can't think any foreign person living in Britain today who can trace an ancestor who was brought to Britain as a slave. This is true of the black population in America but we can't kid ourselves that we are the same. Immigrants in this country chose to come here like the white immigrants of America. We came for paid work of our own free will to do jobs that the white people couldn't or won't do. I for one am very grateful for being accepted to do my nurse training and being given a very secure job in the NHS which gave me a steady income with yearly pay rises. I am retired now having paid my dues in income tax, which is what is expected of anyone who wants a decent life here. I am extremely grateful to Britain giving me my citizenship and all the rights that go with it. As a Hindu it was instilled in me that you never bite the hand that feeds you. This is a free country that does not hold back anyone who feels so aggrieved that they are miserable and make everyone else's life a misery. We can always go back to where we came from and maybe try and see if we get the same freedom of speech and freedom to protest as minority groups can do here and take so much for granted. Please just go where you will be happier. I will be very happy to start a collection for you to fly out first class if you promise never to return to make the lives of everyone around you as miserable and bored as he'll from the same story stuck in a groove.

[@Marlin-proboscis16]

I don't say past issues of slavery are right. But, what about modern day slavery, kids made to mine for lithium, so sanctimonious individuals can pontificate about doing their bit for the planet by driving electric cars??

[@alwayspooh1588]

That is right! Electric cars destroy the planet and enslave children!

[@verali164]

Well said,you don't hear the greens admitting to that. Those kids are at risk doing that.

They don’t care about modern day slavery, that’d be too difficult and there’s absolutely nothing they’d gain from it.

Did someone ever suggest how people might understand how fortunate we all are to be able to be born live and work in this great country. Formed mainly through the challenges and ingenuity of hundreds of years of communities coming together in diverse regions of the UK. We grew together to share the wealth and benefits of being equally individually responsible to the community for the benefit of all. A marvellous feat full of the grace of those who participated. Might I suggest that had their educational and Judeo Christian religious teachings not been founded on the bible the outcome may have been entirely different. One could also suggest that if the religiously racist supremacist Islam had been their foundation, instead of the Uk we might have ended up like Pakistan.

[@philmorton4590]

By the same idea of slavery, alot of convicts sent to Australia in 1788 were convicted on trumped-up charges because they were poor and Britain wanted a colony, maybe all white Australians require compensation too under this premise for the hardship and forced relocation?

So if the UK are so rich why are the children going hungry

Maybe we should also be discussing repatriation for the descendants of slaves so they can spend their reparations in their homeland and take the wealth back with them.

[@Officialnrb]

JV Repatriations should be paid to the descendants of slaves by those who captured and sold their ancestors. Though the descendants of slaves are the lucky ones compared to those left in Africa.

Well if you make yourself feel guilty you are a fool. It's all a load of bull, people in every country had or were slaves. How many black people of African heritage ever been in any part of Africa, I wouldn't say many and then they have the cheek to look for money because someone in their family was a slave.

Well said Darren. An example of how is doesn’t make a difference if African nations were free to make their own decisions- Ghana has been free for around 60 years. Can anyone state something they have done with their freedom? Ghana are free to trade, set up their own business, education and health care in what ever way they want. Have they? Nope.

I'm happy being white, I have no guilt about slavery. Also these people running from their countries, usually men, abandoning their families. Why aren't they fighting to improve their own countries..

They should read up on the social history of this country, they might learn something.

The transatlantic slave route could not have existed without the African slave traders supplying slaves. You want someone to blame , then out the blame squarely where it lies, with the African kings and warlords who enslaved their own people and sold them on.
