Baron99 Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 As I said yesterday, I'm actually a first generation Englishman, born of Scots & Irish parents. All you lot on here, along with with the occasional Viking, have oppressed my ancestors for centuries. So you lot need to start getting your hands in your pockets & start forking out for the problems you've inflicted on my people. Swiss Bank account details to follow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They speak very passionately about the subject and to be honest, I get it. I for one feel paying reparations is the right thing to do but how far do we go back? 200 years? 400 years? 1000 years? Just how far is too far and who should be paying and to whom? Absolutely; any slave holders should definitely be paying reparations to any slaves they have owned.

The local chiefs rounded them up , kept them in cages till the European ships came That’s correct !!!!.... Local chief’s did do as you say and no one ever brings that up people leave that out of the history books when they mention the slave trade for some reason when it is a true account of what happened !!!!... Slavery has been going on since the dawn of man and as “Anna B” has stated is still going on today !!!... Will it ever stop I truly hope so but I fear it will still continue in some shape or form....
