Not sure how sick this makes me. The best and brightest minds in the UK defended Stalins slavery. So wherever the wealth came from, it wasnt just slavery (or even mainly), Olusogas an alright presenter but a class A race hustler, Edward Lud August 30, 2020 at 9:12 am We could just cut to the chase, and impose a reparations tax on anyone who is descended from from anyone who did something, er, wrong..

How does it benefit anyone to make an issue about particular events? Although I would expect the Germans, and perhaps even the Japanese, to be happy they lost the war. and while the responsible state still exists, Theres a fundamental weakness with all theories of universal law or justice, which is that across time and space, the human conception of what is right and just seems to be extremely varied and rarely (to modern Western eyes) pleasant.. There is plenty of slavery about we just do not call it that. The strongest argument I can see for reparations is not that white people bear some kind of ancestral blame. They arent going to concede anything. Then the second. Oh man. Its an interesting exercise to consider, given we live within such a system, how or whether that contradiction can be settled. That may have caused more violence. The Sokoto Caliphate probably had as many slaves and a lot fewer free men as the Old South.

Well whats the point of pretending it doesnt also induce moral disgust in me, just in case someone mistakes it for guilt, or an admission of liability? It could not have happened at all unless African traders and kings had offered slaves to the Europeans. Theres no point pretending Europeans who profited from either the transatlantic slave trade or the use of slave labour in the Americas were somehow doing a favour to the slaves involved, even if, as it happens but their owners could not have predicted, their surviving descendants ended up financially better off on average than the counterfactual of remaining in Africa.

Fryers book was monumental, inspiring conferences, publications, the setting up of local history groups, the establishment of Black History Month, and radio and television programmes. Fair point.

Black and British: A Forgotten History Its very noticable how nobodys mentioning that the Spanish Empire were doing this for several centuries before the British got involved. 7 years was the average working lifespan so it is said.
