Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 18295192 United States 02/17/2014 04:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Africa colonized Europe in the 8th century and it lasted until the righteous expulsion in the end of 15th century. That a long time. Europe is now experiencing neo-colonialism, as there are many millions (and growing) of racist African colonizer invading the continent. FACT |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 54258597 United Kingdom 02/17/2014 07:55 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Why should they get reparations when they were never slaves? They are descendants of slaves and therefore shoukd receive nwot one iota. If they feel so bad about their miserable existance in the suncpshine of tropical Jamaica, perhaps they shoukd be paid the air fare for a one way ticket to their home in Africa.

Will we also see some claims from saber tooth tiger descendants because our early ancestors hunted them into oblivion say. Or the guy that took your lunch money at school all them years ago.

So they have no claim as descendants. They are immigrants if anything. All the white man has to do is stop their ships from visiting for a couple months and they all go to dead mon. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 43832388 United Kingdom 02/17/2014 09:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Professor Verene can go f*ck herself and crawl back under the rock she came from. Or maybe we should pay them off along with every other country we colonised. On condition that everyone that can not prove their ancestors were British when slavery was happening goes back to where they came from. That would be a fair trade. On second thoughts the French colonised England in 1066 so it's all their fault. Or maybe the Vikings. Lets not forget the Romans... |

Perhaps they should be angry at their pathetically weak ancestors who allowed themselves to be enslaved. Eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow, you may die. |

Quoting: ZeuZ They owe the slavers their lives as they would never have been born so they can pay that 'reparation' first.

Always so worried about the damned past they cant see the future in front of their faces. If anyone gives them money it should be with a stipulation that ALL funds go to helping people of modern slavery and punishing modern illegal slave owners/traders. |

Those vikings pillaged my ancestors' town several times. I would then also like something from Italy as the Romans enslaved my great great great great great great..... uncle's dog. Can I also get an apology from that caveman that stole my ancestor's woolly mammoth coat that one winter causing him to die of hypothermia? Thanks in advance |

They will claim tribal and other divisions in Africa were exploited by Europeans to enslave the Africans and ignore the African slave started in the 8th century with the Muslims. They will ignore Africans sent a delegation to France in effort to convince Europeans to continue in the slave trade, even though Europeans were moving to ban slavery. |
