Do you believe the Western nations should pay reparations to those who are descendants of slaves?

No. It’s just people wanting hand outs for something that happened centuries ago.

How far back does this work? Should I seek repatriations from Rome, Algiers, and Copenhagen?

I think Democrats should pay reparations to descendants of slaves, they went out of the way to protect it, even started their own country based on it. If you are a registered Democrat, you should pay up.

every nation and culture has slavery in their past and PRESENT aka human trafficking.

Paying back the reparations due in full would bankrupt any country. It just can't be done.

The UK, and other countries who profited from the slave trade should, however, set a precedent and pay a certain amount in reparations each year for the next 100 or even 200 years. How, and who they pay, though, is something I have no clue about.

No. The Western nations didn't start slavery. It was going on all over the known world a few thousand years ago. Maybe reparations should start with the countries in the cradle of civilization. Then get to the participating countries chronologically. When they get to America let it be known that the American people were the ones that STOPPED slavery in the free world. Please let me know how successful they are in getting reparations from the countries that are still slavery either openly or covertly. 🇺🇸

The British prime minister has called for a debate on this, and he will bankrupt his country totally!

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We still have slaves, underpaid workers are slaves with no hope of escape. Get your bachelors degree.
That slave stuff is long gone, a generation gone, no reparations required. Don't waste a second thinking you are owed something because it will never happen, all that money goes to Trump to squander.

Why just the western nations? Why not every nation that had slaves?

It’s not just a western problem. Look at the Muslim world, Africa, Asia.

@BigGuy2 is right. He is tall and intelligent ♥

definitely NOT.

Well you have to think about it at one point in time every race Creed and religion was a slave to another.

Yes, and here's why. According to liberals, who champion this reparations fiasco, according to liberals, humans had their origin in Africa. That means we all have African blood. And according to the liberal's own "one drop rule", we are ALL black. That means we all have ancestors who were slaves. So I want my check.

No. No more than African nations should pay reparations to the descendants of the slaves they sold to the Europeans, or these slaves they kept in Africa.
