Why do you think you, a British man, should get reparations for something that happened 200 years before your birth.
---------------------------------------------------------------------- why did the slave masters family get paid until 2015? for something 200 yrs before their birth.

How is that the opposite of what I’ve wrote about race in anyway shape or form and how can a comment that has nothing to do with race, giving to different view points, be the opposite of anything.

Not sure you’ve thought that through, like at all.

Plus, no one did ask you.

The UK should just invite descendants of slaves to come over here and live. That would be the fairest thing to do.

Their kids could join gangs and shoot and stab each other. And their elderly relatives will be able to freeze to death in the winter.

Because of the Law. It may not sit well with us in the 21st century but it was legal to trade in slaves. Ending that caused losses. As slavery was legal, there were no losses to ask for.

as you know full well mate, I didn't mean that particular comment, but the comments or the conversation we had at the time.....

again, I get it and I like you as a poster. you're just scared (as I stated at the time to have a real debate about a sticky subject), instead you agree with the mass's.

and even now, 'are you high dude', daft comments to avoid the conversation ?

stick to klopp debates if you can't give your proper view mate,

Okay, just for banter, are you able to demonstrate how a) my comment has anything to do with race and b) how a comment containing two different viewpoints can support one thing?

Genuinely interested as it looks like you’ve pulled this stance out of your ass for some reason.

Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, slavery was a major part of the economy, especially for colonial powers like the UK. The labour consisting of enslaved people was key for growing cash crops like sugar and tobacco, which were key to wealth creation that drove the industrial revolution.

At that time, slavery was universally accepted and supported by laws that made it the norm. Many viewed it as just another business, placing economic benefits over whether it was morally right.

Today, the effects of slavery can still be felt through exploitative working practices, social and economic inequalities. Debates such as this about reparations highlight the need to revisit these historical crimes head on. As pointed out by SATNAV earlier, many countries and industries continue to benefit from modern forms of slavery, it has simply never gone away!

We should 100% give back anything we have in museums though.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That might be fair if we can take back stuff we gave other countries though at the same time Italy might want the A46 returned which could be awkward?

So,if the government said paying reparations was the legal thing to do, tomorrow, and put it in law, would you happily accept their decision?

You are bound by our endless craving for quality WUMs! It’s a nuanced form of slavery that can occasionally bring a smile but, more often than not, results in harsh, scathing, criticism aimed directly at the WUM!

Anyway, Brazil was the destination for the vast majority of transatlantic slaves, followed by the Caribbean iirc so Africans could maybe ask those countries first? I think the USA only accounted for about 5%?

What the fvck are you doing man?

Go and bump that thread you’re on about if you’re still rattled bud. This has absolutely nothing, at all, to do with race, or certainly my comment didn’t.

I just asked how far back to reparations go? For example Barbary pirates in the 17th century.

there you go... a refusal to answer the question

I'm not rattled enough to go trawling through past threads mate
