Where do you start the blame? Is it on the celts for invading ancient Britain? Or the Roman's for invading them? Or the Saxons? Or the Vikings? Or the French? All of these invasions and oppression the old British faced led them to their colonial mentality so do Britain deserve reparations from them? This is without even discussing the moors Arab slave trade which was already in place in Africa. People like to say it doesn't matter how long ago all these things were but surely you can't just pick and choose how many hundreds of years need to pass before something is irrelevant.
Should the blacks who sold their black slaves to the white traders also apologize? How about the blacks in Mauritania? Should they apologize? How about the modern day African dictators who have committed genocide against their own people, should they also apologize (Amin, Bokassa, Mugabe, etc.) ? Should the Egyptians also apologize?
Most of those civilizations are not relevant anymore. If you want to run around wearing a crown with a stolen jewel, then people will notice and get pissed off. Royals is a updated concept in 21st century and it’s not been thousands of years since British imperialism stopped. The effects of it are still relevant in many parts of the world till now. If you don’t want to blamed, then sit in your throne in your own country. If you flaunt, then sensible people are going to bring up your family’s past.
Kehinde Andrews has never asked the west coast of Africa (which was called "the Slave Coast") who captured and sold these slaves originally for an apology, or reparations. The West Africa Company transported the slaves, they purchased them, but they did not take them and enslave them for sale. For a Professor in Black Studies, his lack of historical knowledge says everything. Europe was the market makers for the slave trade, not the suppliers.
@@Damasknowledge See Benin, a sovereign state. Really before replying, do at least a google level of research. King Gezo of Dahomey maybe of some interest.
@@Damasknowledge yes, Dahomey existed within what is now Benin, a larger state that includes it. Just like Wessex became part of England. Your point still fails on logic, or you agree that maybe the sons should not be punished for the sins of the fathers? Either way, the argument for reparations fails.
@@Damasknowledge And yes, in a youtube reply I am not doing to go into a hardback version of history. You can choose to cherry pick any civilization and claim Spartans are different from Athenians but it is a pedantic point. The fact remains it was the existing inhabitants of that region who were responsible for capturing slaves for the onward sale to Westerners.

Hi Piers from Canada 🇨🇦 PC did not apologize(no need to) but the Archbishop of Canterbury was here a few weeks ago, to apologize due to The Church of England’s part in the Residential School System(Necessary). Reconciliation is HUGE right Now in Canada and he is right to address it, like the elephant in the room. They are NOT asking for reparations here, the indigenous of Canada have a unique relationship with the Crown all due to The Royal Proclamation by King George III and the numbered treaties. They believe, and it is shown to be true in courts, that they signed the treaties Nation to Nation. PS The Countries in the Caribbean need to worry about their corrupt govts. Repenting is ridiculous.
Anyone that thinks repenting of doing something wrong is ridiculous would be quite satisfied for history to repeat itself. I respect the archbishop of Canterbury for apologizing to the church, although William or Charles wasn't around at the time, they did the right thing to apologize, the monarchy is still head of state, and yes it was their ancestors, but they are the beneficiaries of what was passed down from one generation to another.

This guy kind of has a point where I loose him is where he acts like the world was civilised before the empire , all these atrocities went on before it’s just the British empire did it last before times changed
I'm glad the poor, hard working taxpayers of the UK paid off the rich slave owners. The oppressors never give up their exploitative ways voluntarily. Their love of money is larger than their moral capacity.

@@michaelstallion8004 to his own convenience of course. He forgets all the slavery that went on all over the continents. In Egypt, Africa itself enslaving their own people, the Romans, the Arabs, the Ottomans. He forgets to mentions all European countries enslaving parts of Africa. France, Germany, Italy Spain. Leopold ll of Belgium enslaved n killed 10 millions of Congolese people, the Spanish n Portuguese who enslaved south America n killed many millions. Why doesn't he ever mention any of this? According to his very BIASED ""knowledge"" he makes believe that all the slavery trade ONLY HAPPENED in Brittain. How false, how deceitful, how erroneous. He should be ashamed for giving such rubbish information
The Royals got richer as a result of slavery, they did not get 'rich'. The Royals got rich from exploiting the indigenous population of Britain Descendants of slaves, have in general, got richer than their descendants who were not stolen from Africa. The Royals, arguably, bring a lot of money into the UK because of Britain's heritage. This is a very nuanced topic that is reduced to a binary position by people who should know better, at best it is naive, and at worst it is malevolent behaviour.
I would like reparations from the Roman Empire for enslaving my ancestors and forcing them to fight to death as gladiators, and I would like to sue Iran and Egypt for making a system that enslaved my people when Roman took over Britain. With 10,000 years worth of interest and 2000 years worth of interest from Rome.
How much British gold was stolen by these people because Ghanian gold is still with Britain. Please tell me the number of Diamonds they stole from Britain because Indian and African diamonds are still in Britain. And how many British Statues were stolen? because Greek, Egyptian, and African Statues still beautify the British museum and generates money for Britain which Britain uses for its citizens.....so yes Britain is living off colonization blood money from generation to generation. Gosh and entire Kingdom that sees nothing with being wrong being a THIEF. The list is long. Or should we talk about the millions of pounds Britain stole from India to feed their citizens. And that stolen money made India bankrupt and broken....ok fine let's talk about the present where London is the headquarters for making DIRTY MONEY CLEAN......where do you think looted wealth from Africa and India go to? In fact who encouraged these corrupt ok leaders to keep the stolen wealth there? One thing I dislike is uneducated Westerners. We absolutely know history. We remember......the people who felt the pain have all died but all these still lingers this means there are things that need to be done that are not yet done by the British. Germany apologised.....for their atrocities they are ashamed of what they did to Namibia of Africa and they apologized and are desirous of making reparations. If Britain start making reparations, Britain will go bankrupt and almost cease to exist.
This professor Kehinde , He meant to know his stuff about black culture , But he seems to leave out that the Africans and the people from the Caribbean but mostly Africans captured there own people and sold them to the Europeans , because it was to dangerous for them to go into Africa because of tropical diseases like malaria, he does know anything , or he does and Just picks and choose what he wants and plays victim.
It’s about relevance though innit, look at a map of economic inequality today and look at a map of exploited countries in the colonial period... veeery similar
He is a professor in black history, off course he knows, but that's not the point, yes their own people sold them to survive and the British and others took advantage of them, they were given nothing is return, they had them sign documents that they couldn't even read.
Why would people who haven’t directly committed any slavery atrocities, pay people who haven’t directly suffered from these slavery atrocities? Makes no sense at all. Britain abolished slavery and maintained the African blockade. We should be handing out invoices, not reparations. To Jamaica, and Antigua and any other Caribbean country that wants to give up HMTQ. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
You're right. None of these Caribbean countries are run by their original indigenous inhabitants. These countries are now owned by the ancestors of the slaves. And we never invoiced them for Jamaica, Antigua, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Trinidad, etc. If ownership of these nations was considered reparations, then the ancestors of the slaves did pretty well!
Spot on I'm not sure any of this nonsense would of gained any ground if someone hadn't stood on a career criminals neck in the USA now everything is racist.
Why should we listen to someone who pedals false information about a subject he claims to know about? The UK did not export the most slaves, they exported 3.1mil slaves compared to Portugal who exported 5.8mil. Nearly double! I bet this guy hasn't spoken once about Portugal or other historic and modern examples of slavery. He just hates this country.
Should the blacks who sold their black slaves to the white traders also apologize? How about the blacks in Mauritania? Should they apologize? How about the modern day African dictators who have committed genocide against their own people, should they also apologize (Amin, Bokassa, Mugabe, etc.) ? Should the Egyptians also apologize?
And he and his kind have been paid back ten fold, in foreign aid, all the great things the English build whilst civilising their countries and the way they live today. He's had an education and speaks English.
Wow, how racist are you, he and his kind, really? Well he and his kind as you said would have been the most educated and richest people in the world today,if they weren't enslaved are have all their riches stolen from them by the British and others. The needs to pay reparations and return the gold, diamond precious stones, artefact and everything else, if they want forgiveness from the people and God. They still have all those things in bukkingham palace and museums. If not they won't be blessed by God but cursed.
an analogy: You got your land, and on your land, you got crops, your beautiful house that's full of beautiful items, you're happy. Your neighbour has grey land unable to grow crops, his house is shabby and poor. Your neighbour is starving, he wants what you've got, but refuse to ask for help or aids, so he decides he going to burn your house down, steal your crops and your beautiful items for himself with the help of his gang of friends. Ten years has past, what was once his life (poor) has become your life (poor) and what was once your life (rich) has become his life(rich). You're so poor, you and your children now works for him as his slaves, you see him wearing your clothes, having all your beautiful items in his houses, now using your land to grow his crops to eat and feed his children. One day he dies and his children inherits his curse, "the stolen goods", Twenty years has past, forget about it! what is in the past should be left in the past! don't complain! while they still portray your wealth as their own. they've acknowledge it but refuse to apologise. its call bullying. PLEASE PUT YOURSELF IN THIS, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL. TELL THE TRUTH
There is currently a huge area of land in Kenya the British haven't returned to them back. See how beautiful the Kohinoor is on British crown till date. Oh my, the things Churchill did to India which caused the death of millions of things.
Andrews should actually read a history book. Slavery in the carribean was thriving long before the British got involved and would have continued for years longer too had we not. If we were so bad why does he still live in the UK. He's happy to take our money though.
They are talking about slavery as though it happened only for black people, english people should be the one to have any claim because there were some who worked as slaves during those days in England. Sorry to disappoint some but today black slaves reparation would have to be paid by african leaders. That's the actual solution for selling those black people.
Wrong Whir=tes killed 100s million black people so asking reparation is fair and also lets not forget colonisation after as well when whites stolen trillions worth precious gold and diamonds
Even trying to get into a conversation about slavery is a lose lose conversation. Reflection of past events /history is a good thing, hence it’s taught in schools throughout the land but somehow trying to reap consequential damages is ludicrous, every single civilization dating back as far as 5000 years has been involved in slavery, it was accepted and legal and thus repatriation is just in regards to this subject is mind numbingly painful to enter into conversation about!
Scott Thayer well said! you are so right. Slavery has (wrongly) always been here since the world began. All European countries enslaved other countries. Germany, France, Italy Belgium Spain, portugal devastated Africa. Leopold ll of Belgium killed 10 millions of Congolese, the Spanish n Portuguese destroyed millions in south America. How come NONE of this gets ever mentioned? So are we going to make reparation to the families of the (mainly) women but some men also, who were burned or drown for witchcraft? Things were done centuries ago for which we are now ashamed, but that was the way people believed THEN. We acknowledge it was wrong, but let's move on making sure we don't make same mistakes again. Although I dare say, in some countries, it is still going on now
and slavery is still happening! My daughter taught in a school in Togo, only a few years ago, and saw young children working as unpaid domestic servants in houses instead of being in school. She also visited a fort on the coast where slaves were held before being shipped, slaves that were captured by black people, held by black people, for the sole purpose of being traded. Black people were complicit in this abhorrent practice too but it is never acknowledged or discussed.
Don't think you know that compensation was given to slave owners by the British, but not the slaves. How crazy is that, to pay the people that reap from slavery and got rich, but not the actual people that was enslaved.
The royal African Company (RAC) was an English mercantile (trading) company set up in 1660 by the royal Stuart family and City of London merchants to trade along the west coast of Africa. It was led by the duke of York, who was the brother of Charles II and in 1685, York took the throne as James II. The RAC shipped more African slaves to the Americas than any other company in the history of the Atlantic slave trade, and was owned entirely by the British crown. The now-late Elizabeth II never publicly acknowledged her ancestor's actions before her death Thursday, September 8, 2022. Britain ONLY ENDED BLACK AFRICAN SLAVERY IN 1833. Britains INDIAN SLAVERY CONTINUED. To fuel the growing first-world sugar industry of the late 1800s, Britain enslaved 1.3 million Indians then shipped them to labor on sugar plantations in Mauritius, South Africa, the Caribbean, Guyana, and Fiji. It took six months on old sailing ships to reach Guyana. Like black African slaves, these Indian slaves were also brutally treated, both on the long ocean crossing and during the working conditions.It is a chapter in colonial history that implicates figures at the very highest level of the British establishment including royalty.The voyages from India in old sailing ships took approximately twice as long to reach the Caribbean in hellish conditions as did the African voyages.Sick slaves were tied with a rope and thrown overboard and used as shark bait to feet the humans on board with shark food.Runaway slaves in the plantations had their heads cut off and their heads were rammed into sharpened poles, then erected in th village squares and on the plantations in order to keep other slaves compliant. Other very brutal treatments were used as well. Indentured servitude as the British NAMED IT was just another name for the continuation of the brutal treatment of Indian slaves which started in 1833 AND ONLY ENDED IN 1920.
Any sane justice seeking individual with their mental faculties intact can use discernment to comprehend the plight behind the battlecry of reparations for the Transatlantic Slave trade in contrast to other Slave trades of the past. Not every single civilisation was kidnapped from their homeland and cut off from their heritage in order to remain perpetually subservient, which then opened the gateway to neo colonialism creating the plundering of natural resources, ancient artifacts and spiritual relics, not to mention this was all done under the decree of the Roman Catholic Church which sanctioned and financed the ships fitted with shackles and these mega religious institutions are still thriving today along with the insurance companies and Banking systems that were all set up from the profits of such heinous attrocities. At this point no amount of money can ever repair the damage that has been done. It's going to take divine intervention to recompense such attrocities. I happen to be a spiritual man and I can feel it in the air that an inevitable recompense is on its way as the time for financial reimbursement has elapsed.

It is absolutely futile attempting any kind of constructive conversation with Kehinde Andrews.

@@Niemand239 Why nonsense? The artefacts were kept by the British as the local people didn’t want them and were considered mere curiosities. They wouldn’t exist if the British hadn’t become custodian of the artefacts.

What year are we living in for god sake 😑 slavery went on from the day dot until Britain banned it!!

His mindset is not for peace and unity, a person's actions today, is what they need to take responsibility for, but to me it is unhinged to expect them to be punished for any cruelty or bad behaviour done by people they have never even met,centuries ago.. if we went by the first rule of blame, he fails to mention that the Africans themselves, did at times sell their own family when they needed money, into slavery but of course that will be one rule for one and another rule for another as per!

Furthermore Romans nor Ottoman or Aarb combines never taken no where near as much slaves as Britain alone let alone other Europeans like France, Holland Italy Belgium and Germany. Finally Arabs slave trade was no where near as bad as transatlantic slave trade. Anyone who studied history would l know that fact. so I recommend you read about Arab slave trade and European one then yu would see difference in brutality. Arabs did see Africans slaves below them but they still saw them as human being like white supremacy groups of today. where as Europeans literally though of black as sub humans worse than live stock
This guy is actually clueless about history and the slave trade. The fact he even thinks slavery is abhorrent is because Briton took a stand against it. No where on earth agreed. Still don't in many countries. India has 18 million slaves at this very moment in time. Not to mention the sex slave trade. Just look up how many slaves are in Africa today. I could talk all day about this subject. His whole view is hilariously based of unfounded misconceptions and easily provably wrong perspectives. The fact he has a platform to spout his misinformation is a tragedy. One that will cause far more harm to African heritage people in the UK than good.
Why should the family pay for the sins of their ancestors, it wasn’t their doing… You can’t rewrite history but you can better the future, that’s what the royal family are doing… So stop with the bitterness!!
They should pay because they benefit from it. They have no problem relaxing and enjoying the wealth that was stolen from the colonies so take responsibility for it. If my brother stole tons of money from a group of people and died later, I would pay all that money he stole back to that group of people and be remorseful and apologise. That is called honour and decency. A better future comes from giving back and not simple words.

Get credit for abolishing slavery; Without slavery there would be no industrial Revolution... That's why they so-called abolish slavery...It was more expensive to use human labour than machines
Quite the opposite would be true. Slaves would have been cheaper to buy than machinery and worked for no pay. Anyway, the Industrial Revolution happened in Britain. There were few black people in Britain at that time and definitely not enough to work as slaves in mills and mines. The white native people were the ones that were used as cheap labour to fuel the Industrial Revolution. A few got rich on the downright slavery of disadvantage poor.
Piers people outside of the UK don’t give them any credit for abolishing slavery. Americans find it extremely hypocritical when Brits act highbrow towards the US on slavery (& race relations) when the vast majority of slave trading in America was done when Britain ruled America (& the only difference now with race relations is people in the US don’t have to worry about prosecution when they show themselves to be racist while in the UK they do so they’re much more low key about it). It’s similar to the UK and homophobia and how England was responsible for virtually all the anti gay laws across the world. Even in the Middle East homosexuality wasn’t a big deal until Britain came and introduced draconian laws against it. So does the UK accepting homophobia a few decades ago absolve them of gays being terrorized and living in fear for the last couple hundred years?
I think India Jamaica and a lot of colonies need to thank England , they gave them culture sophistication and know-how , and an actual language worth speaking. Before the British a lot of those colonies were living in squalor and mud huts and painting their faces a lot.
India had sophisticated culture then, now and in the future. Your comment shows your ignorance. ROFL on the comment “language worth speaking”. It’s one of the major languages but the only language that’s worth speaking. Every colonizer says the same. Before British, all the colonies are richer with their mud huts and paint on their faces. Colonizers shove their culture, language that’s worth speaking in their asses!
That is like a rapist saying to his victim I raped you it happened a long time ago get over it. Then in the next breath saying I am sorry with no repentance or tangible compensation being given. What person in their right mind would accept such?
The word SLAVE comes from the word SLAV. These people where the first one's to become slaves and they where all white people taken as slaves to Saudi Arabia and to the Kings of African countries especially Algiers. Slavery was nothing to do with race it was to do with MONEY. Higher class people at the time made profit from lower class poorer people regardless of the colour of there skin. The slave trade was a terrible part of British history but Britain was very far down the list in terms of the number of slaves and actually stopped the slave trade at a great loss to the British navy, this guy doesn't acknowledge that. Why should Britain apologise for the slave trade when it was carried out by several countries far worse then Britain.
You can apologise until you are blue in the face, but slavery, colonialism and indentured labour, dehumanised and impoverished generations. Nothing can make that go away. Abolishing slavery after prospering from it for generations... leaves a bitter sweet taste in your mouth. Then flashing the spoils of those years of colonialism at pompous royal ceremonies is like rubbing salt in the wounds of those that were marginalised. We are still around. Five generations later... sons and daughters of slaves and indentured labourers. We remember. No apology needed. Reparation and some sensitivity is far better. #piersmorgan#TheRoyalfamily
what a big pile of BS from a professor in a UK University he has the best gifts given to the world by the British... education, language, civilisation etc etc which is far more better than the money he can get if reparations are paid out. along the eastern coast of Africa, the slaves were taken to Arabian peninsula mainly, India and etc. at some point the African Union was fighting for reparations from the western world only to realize the above and that slavery was
I always find it awkward when monarchy talks about the past, the sound like they’re apologizing but don’t. I always wonder why? It’s complicated. There is a strained logic that only if “this” didn’t happen “then” life would have been perfect. What happened centuries ago, in a different time, needs to be understood and learned from. Should we tear down the Pyramid’s because slave labor was used? Is there a statute of limitations? The illogic of these arguments goes on and on. Someday people will look at us and say we are backwards and morally wrong. There is a certain elitist idea that only now we have figured out everything if only people would do as i say. It’s a weird quasi religion. You are good or bad based on certain words and actions.
You should watch 'The true history of slavery' by Thomas Sowell, from the beginning of time until around 100 years ago, everybody could be a slave whether you were black, yellow, white...it made no difference. Many 'white sailors' ended up being slaves, villages were raid with it's people either killed or made slaves. In early 20th century even in Egypt they still had white slaves. It's only during this century that black people suddenly embodied the word slavery. But it was always a worldwide atrocity. Should now white people ask certain African countries compensation for white slavery? Watch 'The true history of slavery' which is it's real history .
The past is just that 'THE PAST'. Why should they have to apologize for something they had nothing to do with? Why should the child pay for the sins of the father? Prince Charles nor Prince William should have to apologize for anything.
Where do you start the blame? Is it on the celts for invading ancient Britain? Or the Roman's for invading them? Or the Saxons? Or the Vikings? Or the French? All of these invasions and oppression the old British faced led them to their colonial mentality so do Britain deserve reparations from them?
This is without even discussing the moors Arab slave trade which was already in place in Africa. People like to say it doesn't matter how long ago all these things were but surely you can't just pick and choose how many hundreds of years need to pass before something is irrelevant.
Should the blacks who sold their black slaves to the white traders also apologize? How about the blacks in Mauritania? Should they apologize? How about the modern day African dictators who have committed genocide against their own people, should they also apologize (Amin, Bokassa, Mugabe, etc.) ? Should the Egyptians also apologize?
Or maybe the Africans that at the very root, began and orchestrated the slave trade.

Most of those civilizations are not relevant anymore. If you want to run around wearing a crown with a stolen jewel, then people will notice and get pissed off. Royals is a updated concept in 21st century and it’s not been thousands of years since British imperialism stopped. The effects of it are still relevant in many parts of the world till now.

Kehinde Andrews has never asked the west coast of Africa (which was called "the Slave Coast") who captured and sold these slaves originally for an apology, or reparations. The West Africa Company transported the slaves, they purchased them, but they did not take them and enslave them for sale. For a Professor in Black Studies, his lack of historical knowledge says everything.
Europe was the market makers for the slave trade, not the suppliers.

Hi Piers from Canada 🇨🇦 PC did not apologize(no need to) but the Archbishop of Canterbury was here a few weeks ago, to apologize due to The Church of England’s part in the Residential School System(Necessary). Reconciliation is HUGE right Now in Canada and he is right to address it, like the elephant in the room. They are NOT asking for reparations here, the indigenous of Canada have a unique relationship with the Crown all due to The Royal Proclamation by King George III and the numbered treaties. They believe, and it is shown to be true in courts, that they signed the treaties Nation to Nation. PS The Countries in the Caribbean need to worry about their corrupt govts. Repenting is ridiculous.
Anyone that thinks repenting of doing something wrong is ridiculous would be quite satisfied for history to repeat itself. I respect the archbishop of Canterbury for apologizing to the church, although William or Charles wasn't around at the time, they did the right thing to apologize, the monarchy is still head of state, and yes it was their ancestors, but they are the beneficiaries of what was passed down from one generation to another.
Great Briton stopped slavery

This guy kind of has a point where I loose him is where he acts like the world was civilised before the empire , all these atrocities went on before it’s just the British empire did it last before times changed
I'm glad the poor, hard working taxpayers of the UK paid off the rich slave owners.
The oppressors never give up their exploitative ways voluntarily. Their love of money is larger than their moral capacity.

@@michaelstallion8004 to his own convenience of course. He forgets all the slavery that went on all over the continents. In Egypt, Africa itself enslaving their own people, the Romans, the Arabs, the Ottomans. He forgets to mentions all European countries enslaving parts of Africa. France, Germany, Italy Spain. Leopold ll of Belgium enslaved n killed 10 millions of Congolese people, the Spanish n Portuguese who enslaved south America n killed many millions. Why doesn't he ever mention any of this? According to his very BIASED ""knowledge"" he makes believe that all the slavery trade ONLY HAPPENED in Brittain. How false, how deceitful, how erroneous. He should be ashamed for giving such rubbish information
The Royals got richer as a result of slavery, they did not get 'rich'.
The Royals got rich from exploiting the indigenous population of Britain
Descendants of slaves, have in general, got richer than their descendants who were not stolen from Africa.
The Royals, arguably, bring a lot of money into the UK because of Britain's heritage.
This is a very nuanced topic that is reduced to a binary position by people who should know better, at best it is naive, and at worst it is malevolent behaviour.
I would like reparations from the Roman Empire for enslaving my ancestors and forcing them to fight to death as gladiators, and I would like to sue Iran and Egypt for making a system that enslaved my people when Roman took over Britain. With 10,000 years worth of interest and 2000 years worth of interest from Rome.
Mark 👍👍👍 me too
And where is the Roman Empire now stop acting stupid if u really want that reparation go protest the Vatican
Where is the Roman Empire now stop acting dumb
10,000s year?
How much British gold was stolen by these people because Ghanian gold is still with Britain. Please tell me the number of Diamonds they stole from Britain because Indian and African diamonds are still in Britain. And how many British Statues were stolen? because Greek, Egyptian, and African Statues still beautify the British museum and generates money for Britain which Britain uses for its citizens.....so yes Britain is living off colonization blood money from generation to generation. Gosh and entire Kingdom that sees nothing with being wrong being a THIEF. The list is long. Or should we talk about the millions of pounds Britain stole from India to feed their citizens. And that stolen money made India bankrupt and broken....ok fine let's talk about the present where London is the headquarters for making DIRTY MONEY CLEAN......where do you think looted wealth from Africa and India go to? In fact who encouraged these corrupt ok leaders to keep the stolen wealth there? One thing I dislike is uneducated Westerners. We absolutely know history. We remember......the people who felt the pain have all died but all these still lingers this means there are things that need to be done that are not yet done by the British. Germany apologised.....for their atrocities they are ashamed of what they did to Namibia of Africa and they apologized and are desirous of making reparations. If Britain start making reparations, Britain will go bankrupt and almost cease to exist.
This professor Kehinde , He meant to know his stuff about black culture , But he seems to leave out that the Africans and the people from the Caribbean but mostly Africans captured there own people and sold them to the Europeans , because it was to dangerous for them to go into Africa because of tropical diseases like malaria, he does know anything , or he does and Just picks and choose what he wants and plays victim.
It’s about relevance though innit, look at a map of economic inequality today and look at a map of exploited countries in the colonial period... veeery similar
@@mrSam3ooo Noone alive today is responsible for that, you're angry at dead people.
Someone's been watching Thomas Sowell!
He is a professor in black history, off course he knows, but that's not the point, yes their own people sold them to survive and the British and others took advantage of them, they were given nothing is return, they had them sign documents that they couldn't even read.
Yes! I learned a lot about that from the videos by Lady Colin Campbell on UA-cam.
Why would people who haven’t directly committed any slavery atrocities, pay people who haven’t directly suffered from these slavery atrocities? Makes no sense at all. Britain abolished slavery and maintained the African blockade. We should be handing out invoices, not reparations. To Jamaica, and Antigua and any other Caribbean country that wants to give up HMTQ. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
You're right. None of these Caribbean countries are run by their original indigenous inhabitants. These countries are now owned by the ancestors of the slaves. And we never invoiced them for Jamaica, Antigua, St. Lucia, St. Vincent, Trinidad, etc. If ownership of these nations was considered reparations, then the ancestors of the slaves did pretty well!
Well said 👏👏👏
Spot on I'm not sure any of this nonsense would of gained any ground if someone hadn't stood on a career criminals neck in the USA now everything is racist.
Then invoices should be issued for the spoils taken from the colonies... like the jewels from India
Compensation isn’t your forte
Why should we listen to someone who pedals false information about a subject he claims to know about? The UK did not export the most slaves, they exported 3.1mil slaves compared to Portugal who exported 5.8mil. Nearly double! I bet this guy hasn't spoken once about Portugal or other historic and modern examples of slavery. He just hates this country.
Andrew. Well said. False information should be publicly be exposed
Don’t be an idiot. Export maybe. What about those enslaved in their own countries? No one touches the British period.
I don’t believe these numbers Africans sold enemy tribes into,slavery
Should the blacks who sold their black slaves to the white traders also apologize? How about the blacks in Mauritania? Should they apologize? How about the modern day African dictators who have committed genocide against their own people, should they also apologize (Amin, Bokassa, Mugabe, etc.) ? Should the Egyptians also apologize?
And he and his kind have been paid back ten fold, in foreign aid, all the great things the English build whilst civilising their countries and the way they live today. He's had an education and speaks English.
Wow, how racist are you, he and his kind, really? Well he and his kind as you said would have been the most educated and richest people in the world today,if they weren't enslaved are have all their riches stolen from them by the British and others. The needs to pay reparations and return the gold, diamond precious stones, artefact and everything else, if they want forgiveness from the people and God. They still have all those things in bukkingham palace and museums. If not they won't be blessed by God but cursed.
Isn’t it strange how none of these critics of the British empire ever mention the vast sums of aid they’ve received
Oh wow!! (... And his kind...). 🙂

Don't the African traders have to apologize too?
an analogy: You got your land, and on your land, you got crops, your beautiful house that's full of beautiful items, you're happy.
Your neighbour has grey land unable to grow crops, his house is shabby and poor.
Your neighbour is starving, he wants what you've got, but refuse to ask for help or aids, so he decides he going to burn your house down, steal your crops and your beautiful items for himself with the help of his gang of friends.
Ten years has past, what was once his life (poor) has become your life (poor) and what was once your life (rich) has become his life(rich).
You're so poor, you and your children now works for him as his slaves, you see him wearing your clothes, having all your beautiful items in his houses, now using your land to grow his crops to eat and feed his children.
One day he dies and his children inherits his curse, "the stolen goods",
Twenty years has past, forget about it! what is in the past should be left in the past! don't complain! while they still portray your wealth as their own. they've acknowledge it but refuse to apologise. its call bullying.
PLEASE PUT YOURSELF IN THIS, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL. TELL THE TRUTH
There is currently a huge area of land in Kenya the British haven't returned to them back. See how beautiful the Kohinoor is on British crown till date. Oh my, the things Churchill did to India which caused the death of millions of things.
Andrews should actually read a history book. Slavery in the carribean was thriving long before the British got involved and would have continued for years longer too had we not. If we were so bad why does he still live in the UK. He's happy to take our money though.
Right On!!! Sell it all off, Give it back to the countries and people they stole it from and leave them homeless!
They are talking about slavery as though it happened only for black people, english people should be the one to have any claim because there were some who worked as slaves during those days in England. Sorry to disappoint some but today black slaves reparation would have to be paid by african leaders. That's the actual solution for selling those black people.
Wrong Whir=tes killed 100s million black people so asking reparation is fair and also lets not forget colonisation after as well when whites stolen trillions worth precious gold and diamonds
Even trying to get into a conversation about slavery is a lose lose conversation. Reflection of past events /history is a good thing, hence it’s taught in schools throughout the land but somehow trying to reap consequential damages is ludicrous, every single civilization dating back as far as 5000 years has been involved in slavery, it was accepted and legal and thus repatriation is just in regards to this subject is mind numbingly painful to enter into conversation about!
Scott Thayer well said! you are so right. Slavery has (wrongly) always been here since the world began. All European countries enslaved other countries. Germany, France, Italy Belgium Spain, portugal devastated Africa. Leopold ll of Belgium killed 10 millions of Congolese, the Spanish n Portuguese destroyed millions in south America. How come NONE of this gets ever mentioned?
So are we going to make reparation to the families of the (mainly) women but some men also, who were burned or drown for witchcraft? Things were done centuries ago for which we are now ashamed, but that was the way people believed THEN. We acknowledge it was wrong, but let's move on making sure we don't make same mistakes again. Although I dare say, in some countries, it is still going on now
and slavery is still happening! My daughter taught in a school in Togo, only a few years ago, and saw young children working as unpaid domestic servants in houses instead of being in school. She also visited a fort on the coast where slaves were held before being shipped, slaves that were captured by black people, held by black people, for the sole purpose of being traded. Black people were complicit in this abhorrent practice too but it is never acknowledged or discussed.
Don't think you know that compensation was given to slave owners by the British, but not the slaves. How crazy is that, to pay the people that reap from slavery and got rich, but not the actual people that was enslaved.
The royal African Company (RAC) was an English mercantile (trading) company set up in 1660 by the royal Stuart family and City of London merchants to trade along the west coast of Africa.
It was led by the duke of York, who was the brother of Charles II and in 1685, York took the throne as James II.
The RAC shipped more African slaves to the Americas than any other company in the history of the Atlantic slave trade, and was owned entirely by the British crown.
The now-late Elizabeth II never publicly acknowledged her ancestor's actions before her death Thursday, September 8, 2022.
Britain ONLY ENDED BLACK AFRICAN SLAVERY IN 1833.
Britains INDIAN SLAVERY CONTINUED.
To fuel the growing first-world sugar industry of the late 1800s, Britain enslaved 1.3 million Indians then shipped them to labor on sugar plantations in Mauritius, South Africa, the Caribbean, Guyana, and Fiji. It took six months on old sailing ships to reach Guyana. Like black African slaves, these Indian slaves were also brutally treated, both on the long ocean crossing and during the working conditions.It is a chapter in colonial history that implicates figures at the very highest level of the British establishment including royalty.The voyages from India in old sailing ships took approximately twice as long to reach the Caribbean in hellish conditions as did the African voyages.Sick slaves were tied with a rope and thrown overboard and used as shark bait to feet the humans on board with shark food.Runaway slaves in the plantations had their heads cut off and their heads were rammed into sharpened poles, then erected in th village squares and on the plantations in order to keep other slaves compliant. Other very brutal treatments were used as well.
Indentured servitude as the British NAMED IT was just another name for the continuation of the brutal treatment of Indian slaves which started in 1833 AND ONLY ENDED IN 1920.
Any sane justice seeking individual with their mental faculties intact can use discernment to comprehend the plight behind the battlecry of reparations for the Transatlantic Slave trade in contrast to other Slave trades of the past. Not every single civilisation was kidnapped from their homeland and cut off from their heritage in order to remain perpetually subservient, which then opened the gateway to neo colonialism creating the plundering of natural resources, ancient artifacts and spiritual relics, not to mention this was all done under the decree of the Roman Catholic Church which sanctioned and financed the ships fitted with shackles and these mega religious institutions are still thriving today along with the insurance companies and Banking systems that were all set up from the profits of such heinous attrocities. At this point no amount of money can ever repair the damage that has been done. It's going to take divine intervention to recompense such attrocities. I happen to be a spiritual man and I can feel it in the air that an inevitable recompense is on its way as the time for financial reimbursement has elapsed.

Andrew’s is an outright liar. I’d urge anyone who wants to know the truth and the facts of slavery to watch a talk by David Starkey in the matter.
Lol wow racist dave? Next ul be saying learning about Jews from Hitler
What is he lying about? Point out the lies.
Same David Starkey said reason why white riots as they act like the black people and slavery was not bad thing as there so many of those damn blacks. you mean that David Starkey?, he is clear racist whoever listen him are EDL supports or Britain First
I wish Piers Morgan wld stop interrupting or talking over the guests he invited to give their opinions but they are often interrupted. Nice to see him back on air though.
And everyone saying the ppl now didn’t do the slavery, if you found out someone stole your grandmothers diamond ring back in the day and gave it to their kid, you see that same kid wearing it now and they’re still rich off it, wouldn’t you want it back ?
Knowing they STOLE it from your grandmother ?
@@ElizabethSimms-yz2mx No but they should give something as in the homes value price or at least a fraction of it.
Perhaps. But I'll tell you what I certainly WOULDN'T do: I sure as hell wouldn't blame or punish the kid for a crime they didn't commit!
@@theb1gfudge No ones blaming or punishing them. Why would they if they didn’t do the crime.
They simply want same thing anyone whose property was stolen wants. Their property or the money back for it.
@@davidpowell7494 u put this in the best words possible n people stil don’t understand we aren’t trying to punish nobody but justice is justice however that will manifest we don’t know
Never apologise,never explain its our way ms GB
What did the romans ever do for us
Most countries aren't asking for reparations anyway. What they are asking for, is for their artefacts to be returned. That would be a gracious gesture and go some way towards atoning for Britain's colonial past.
The artefacts probably wouldn’t exist now if they weren’t held in British museums etc.
@@Niemand239 Why nonsense? The artefacts were kept by the British as the local people didn’t want them and were considered mere curiosities. They wouldn’t exist if the British hadn’t become custodian of the artefacts.
@@Niemand239 Also Britain spent more money on policing the high seas than what was made out of slavery (which every country took part in and the British were first to abolish). Thousands of Royal Navy sailors died patrolling the high seas giving people their freedom. Reparations were paid over 250 years ago.
@@Niemand239 Your African kings rounded up all your own people and sold them as slaves.
If this man hates our history, our royals and our right to free speech and subjective humour, then why the hell does he choose to live here?
What year are we living in for god sake 😑 slavery went on from the day dot until Britain banned it!! Can we ask Sweden, Norway & Italy for an apology for enslaving our ancestors or would that be petty, dumb, ridiculous and stupid.. stop whining about slavery and rascism it's boring and smacks of desperation.... all about money 💰 looking for a handout and don't you dare apologise your majesty..
What about the babies that were born into slavery and died because of slavery, innocent children who died at the hands of slavery who were Taken from their homes. We don’t care if it didn’t happen in present times it still happened. Justice is justice and we need our justice and paying every family that went through slavery is the best way to do it!!!!!
All those experience slavery are dead and gone
Why should people who have never owned slaves pay people who were never slaves?
Reparations. Look it up.
@@bobbythomas5357 that is something you will never get
@@neilnelmar8007 considering if you gave India reparation what you stole from them it would strip your people to less than beggars I think that’s a safe assumption. In Britain’s case I think it’s vital they are made to account as they still reap the benefits of colonialism. The Africans can ask the same question. Why should I suffer financially years after my ancestors where enslaved, maimed and tortured. Not to worry, Britain will go down sooner than later.
It's utter arrogance to expect an applaud for abolishing something you created in the first place.
And what did YOUR country do..🙄🇬🇧
Slavery existed in Africa long before nation of England even existed.
It was created by blacks selling their own people haha
The British didn't invent slavery. Slavery has happened all over the world all through time to the present day.
Yes Kihinde ... Teach ...
And u concur ...
My grandfather Black and grandmother white. My mother was biracial. My skin is white. 🤔 Found on the internet that my grandfather's dad was a slave for an Englishman who was a doctor. This doctor was married with a family. Show there was a black women with child living in this family. In the Tennessee/USA 🇺🇸 area.
so did the tribes that sold their captives to the Europeans, why does this man only look to people who look different from him to put blame?
Professor Andrews is coming across as extremely angry and full of hatred for the monarchy. His mindset is not for peace and unity, a person's actions today, is what they need to take responsibility for, but to me it is unhinged to expect them to be punished for any cruelty or bad behaviour done by people they have never even met,centuries ago.. if we went by the first rule of blame, he fails to mention that the Africans themselves, did at times sell their own family when they needed money, into slavery but of course that will be one rule for one and another rule for another as per!
so telling the truth is angry? Kehinde is right, the Monarchy did many evil things in Africa, India and Caribbean
fair enough thats in the past but why's black people in england still experiencing racism if we are all for untiy nd peace
@@darkstar4102 no more that all the other European countries did. Do your research n find out that Germany, France, Italy etc invaded Africa n did exactly the same. The Spanish n Portuguese enslaved n killed millions++++ in Africa n south America.. Leopold the 2nd of Belgium enslaved n killed 10 millions of Congolese. Perhaps you should look up about world slavery n get some education. Why blame the people of today for what was done centuries ago? Why not blame the Egyptians, the Romans, the Arabs the Ottomans, why you stop at Brittain????
@@michaelstallion8004 if you think Black people experience racism in UK, go n see what happens in USA. Our hospitals, offices, TV presenters, actors, singers, soap operas are full of black people. Maybe you are colour blind?
@@mbr4613 I am l already well of what other European crimes but Britain was biggest export slaves and at peak had 25% colonisation.
so I have all right to talk about monarchy crimes as most their values was stolen form Africa or Asia.
Furthermore Romans nor Ottoman or Aarb combines never taken no where near as much slaves as Britain alone let alone other Europeans like France, Holland Italy Belgium and Germany.
Finally Arabs slave trade was no where near as bad as transatlantic slave trade. Anyone who studied history would l know that fact. so I recommend you read about Arab slave trade and European one then yu would see difference in brutality.
Arabs did see Africans slaves below them but they still saw them as human being like white supremacy groups of today. where as Europeans literally though of black as sub humans worse than live stock
This guy is actually clueless about history and the slave trade. The fact he even thinks slavery is abhorrent is because Briton took a stand against it. No where on earth agreed. Still don't in many countries. India has 18 million slaves at this very moment in time. Not to mention the sex slave trade. Just look up how many slaves are in Africa today. I could talk all day about this subject. His whole view is hilariously based of unfounded misconceptions and easily provably wrong perspectives. The fact he has a platform to spout his misinformation is a tragedy. One that will cause far more harm to African heritage people in the UK than good.
Britain has an apalng histry
Britain has a truly horific histry
Why should the family pay for the sins of their ancestors, it wasn’t their doing… You can’t rewrite history but you can better the future, that’s what the royal family are doing… So stop with the bitterness!!
They should pay because they benefit from it. They have no problem relaxing and enjoying the wealth that was stolen from the colonies so take responsibility for it. If my brother stole tons of money from a group of people and died later, I would pay all that money he stole back to that group of people and be remorseful and apologise. That is called honour and decency. A better future comes from giving back and not simple words.
@@856Edwin give back what exactly? Take India for example, the British extracted tea and other commodities, but left and built up a complete society. Just look at the centre of Delhi, parlement, roads, railways and infrastructure was orchestrated by the British which India greatly benefits from and continues to do so. So you can cherry pick the information, but it’s better to look at the positives as well as the negatives as Piers said. Slavery was bad, but the entire world was practicing that. To try pin the new generation of royals down because you want someone to blame is wrong!
@@856Edwin Should the blacks who sold their black slaves to the white traders also apologize? How about the blacks in Mauritania? Should they apologize? How about the modern day African dictators who have committed genocide against their own people, should they also apologize (Amin, Bokassa, Mugabe, etc.) ? Should the Egyptians also apologize?
Black people became rich from slavery....
@@856Edwin slave got more benefits than the masters imo... From living in straw huts drinking dirty water burning in the fields to a life of luxury 💯
The Carribbean and Africa were poor long before we ever showed up.
🤣🤣🤣 you are a Fool ...🤣🤣🤣
That untrue Africa was much more well off Europe in the 15th century. only after slavery is when they started to become extremely poor
@@darkstar4102Africans sold them
These people are wrong to think that we don’t deserve a sincere apology & reparations for what happened to our ancestors during slavery if it was the other way around what will the conversation really be about ? What about the unsolved murders of innocent black ppl during the times of slavery? Why is it that they can have say so in what we deserve if it wasn’t their families or ancestors it happened too🗣
"Black studies" XD
Interesting discussion
Every country should say thank you to the British for everything we have done without us they would be no where
Many of them wouldn't even exsist and then they have the cheek to move here and start telling us what to do why move to a place you've no respect for.
including 100s million that killed by them too right?
Lol the day Britain is nuked will be happiest day for 99% of the world population
I agree. I teach around the world and everyone wants English language and respects the Queen.

No... Based on this professors logic all countries (including African nations) should pay reperations to all..
Not Africa only Europe
Wait. Fella sprouting provable nonsense is a PROFESSOR? What of? Alternative facts?
No, just of facts.
You were never a slave, I’ve never owned one. End of argument.
No ... But your Great Grand dad probably did ...
but Ancestors did and many English did so they need pay reparations if they are willing to slaves, traders, and descendants reparation why not slaves' descendants reparation the ones that actually suffered
Omg, it's easy to look at the past and judge it with today's standards. I mean move on and we can all do better. Fix the future not the past. It just seems like a cash grab to me.
Speaking as a white person
Reparations such a none starter
Did Britain not abolish slavery ?
after they got what they wanted out of it and then decided to abolish.
@@michaelstallion8004 still they were the first, and who were the first slave traders? African themselfs

I am disgusted by buy slavery and I believe that can and I believe that the current royal family think the same but I think it's out of order that they should expect the modern king has that is a folder and there's nothing to do to apologise for someone who doesn't even know I mean what should we do all start looking at ancestry and apologise for any wrongdoings that they have done in the past it's like it's just an excuse to shame, hate onto king Charles who is himself has been ridiculed and been made fun of in front of lots of people in the papers in the public for what he said about the environment in the 1970s and beyond what about an apology for him. should I go around apologising for the despicable invasion and stealing ,pillaging ,raping ,maiming, killing ,from people that used to live in my country during the horrible days when England ruled a lot of the world I'm disgusted by that but I can't hang my head in shame and apologise to every one visiting the UK from this other invited Nations. Now an organisation or families have immense wealth throughout their families and organisations that can without question be proven that they stolen from other people or places that's a whole different 0:25

If it doesn’t belong to you you give it back- children are taught this, yet the monarchy can’t adhere to this lesson

Get credit for abolishing slavery; Without slavery there would be no industrial Revolution... That's why they so-called abolish slavery...It was more expensive to use human labour than machines
Rubbish
Quite the opposite would be true. Slaves would have been cheaper to buy than machinery and worked for no pay. Anyway, the Industrial Revolution happened in Britain. There were few black people in Britain at that time and definitely not enough to work as slaves in mills and mines. The white native people were the ones that were used as cheap labour to fuel the Industrial Revolution. A few got rich on the downright slavery of disadvantage poor.
Piers people outside of the UK don’t give them any credit for abolishing slavery. Americans find it extremely hypocritical when Brits act highbrow towards the US on slavery (& race relations) when the vast majority of slave trading in America was done when Britain ruled America (& the only difference now with race relations is people in the US don’t have to worry about prosecution when they show themselves to be racist while in the UK they do so they’re much more low key about it). It’s similar to the UK and homophobia and how England was responsible for virtually all the anti gay laws across the world. Even in the Middle East homosexuality wasn’t a big deal until Britain came and introduced draconian laws against it.
So does the UK accepting homophobia a few decades ago absolve them of gays being terrorized and living in fear for the last couple hundred years?

You are really in mental chains
Please stop kissing white ass, it making you look bad
I think India Jamaica and a lot of colonies need to thank England , they gave them culture sophistication and know-how , and an actual language worth speaking.
Before the British a lot of those colonies were living in squalor and mud huts and painting their faces a lot.
India had sophisticated culture then, now and in the future. Your comment shows your ignorance. ROFL on the comment “language worth speaking”. It’s one of the major languages but the only language that’s worth speaking. Every colonizer says the same. Before British, all the colonies are richer with their mud huts and paint on their faces. Colonizers shove their culture, language that’s worth speaking in their asses!
100 %........
Good question Piers. There is no positive thing in stopping slavery. His definition was totally insane. Diversity is the worse now than ever.
As an Indian, I can empathise with this issue. An apology is not happening but return our jewels and other artefacts - the Kohinoor, especially.
Don't apologise to someone who won't accept it anyway.
That is like a rapist saying to his victim I raped you it happened a long time ago get over it. Then in the next breath saying I am sorry with no repentance or tangible compensation being given. What person in their right mind would accept such?
Then it’s about time the other countries apologise to Britain too!!!!!
I agree with your guest.
I could imagine the hate that comes out of his mouth during his lectures, he needs auditing......
What happened with the millions UK give away to Africa and Caribbean every year. Interesting .
The word SLAVE comes from the word SLAV. These people where the first one's to become slaves and they where all white people taken as slaves to Saudi Arabia and to the Kings of African countries especially Algiers. Slavery was nothing to do with race it was to do with MONEY. Higher class people at the time made profit from lower class poorer people regardless of the colour of there skin. The slave trade was a terrible part of British history but Britain was very far down the list in terms of the number of slaves and actually stopped the slave trade at a great loss to the British navy, this guy doesn't acknowledge that. Why should Britain apologise for the slave trade when it was carried out by several countries far worse then Britain.
You can apologise until you are blue in the face, but slavery, colonialism and indentured labour, dehumanised and impoverished generations. Nothing can make that go away. Abolishing slavery after prospering from it for generations... leaves a bitter sweet taste in your mouth. Then flashing the spoils of those years of colonialism at pompous royal ceremonies is like rubbing salt in the wounds of those that were marginalised. We are still around. Five generations later... sons and daughters of slaves and indentured labourers. We remember. No apology needed. Reparation and some sensitivity is far better. #piersmorgan#TheRoyalfamily
what a big pile of BS from a professor in a UK University
he has the best gifts given to the world by the British... education, language, civilisation etc etc which is far more better than the money he can get if reparations are paid out.
along the eastern coast of Africa, the slaves were taken to Arabian peninsula mainly, India and etc.
at some point the African Union was fighting for reparations from the western world only to realize the above and that slavery was

I don’t believe in studies and should not apologise
I always find it awkward when monarchy talks about the past, the sound like they’re apologizing but don’t. I always wonder why? It’s complicated. There is a strained logic that only if “this” didn’t happen “then” life would have been perfect. What happened centuries ago, in a different time, needs to be understood and learned from. Should we tear down the Pyramid’s because slave labor was used? Is there a statute of limitations? The illogic of these arguments goes on and on. Someday people will look at us and say we are backwards and morally wrong. There is a certain elitist idea that only now we have figured out everything if only people would do as i say. It’s a weird quasi religion. You are good or bad based on certain words and actions.
You should watch 'The true history of slavery' by Thomas Sowell, from the beginning of time until around 100 years ago, everybody could be a slave whether you were black, yellow, white...it made no difference. Many 'white sailors' ended up being slaves, villages were raid with it's people either killed or made slaves. In early 20th century even in Egypt they still had white slaves. It's only during this century that black people suddenly embodied the word slavery. But it was always a worldwide atrocity. Should now white people ask certain African countries compensation for white slavery? Watch 'The true history of slavery' which is it's real history .
That Kehinde guy deserves a Knighthood lol
That is if he accepted Monarchy titles which he does not
Fuk no.
Haha he doesn't but funny
Apart from Prince Albert’s apologies, I remember the likes of Tony Blair’s and Ken Livingston’s , so the gent is correct, apologies mean very little.
All monarch getting rich from slavery.. not only england.
I want reparations from Africa for that bloody Special AKA song..........
Britian didnt enslave more then anyone else btw, Arab world enslaved far more but even when it comes to europe they were Portugal
So your looking for a handout
The past is just that 'THE PAST'. Why should they have to apologize for something they had nothing to do with?
Why should the child pay for the sins of the father? Prince Charles nor Prince William should have to apologize for anything.
