I believe Indian Kings gave the british a space otherwise a nation like India is likely impossible to be colonized by any foreigner's. even if the whole europe come united aganist India that won't be enough because India was vast and very populus nation compared to europe so their weapons may not be enough for a power play in India.
Up until 2015, the UK taxpayers were still paying former slave owners compensation for loss of resources, imagine that! the rapist, murderers, and thieves can claim damages and under British law receive compensation, but the victim's voice is not heard. British/European justice at its best.
Yet we ended the Atlantic slave trade for everyone. We were also being enalved by Africans who were raiding our coastlines long before Britain was involved in the slave trade.
Slavery was abhorrent but many of the slaves were sold to European slave traders by Africans who captured other Africans during tribal conflict The island nation of Barbados is relatively prosperous and its citizens have a higher literacy level than many Western countries
Yes, and repaying that took the taxpayers of the UK till 2015 to pay off, I guess being the first country in the world to abolish slavery has many benefits, long term debts and hatred from the freed slaves, great deal!
@@tomnicholson2115The tax payers included the people that were enslaved. Secondly it was only 2.4 Billon of todays money spread over 150 years, compared to 400 years of free labour and inhumane treatment. How do you even sleep trying to justify this? Jewish people received $86.8 billion just from Germany alone and were given state priorities in other countries and a whole new country plus billions in donations to build that country and billions more to continue militarizing it.
@@TheSomaliHorizon There were no enslaved people in the UK and they didn't help to pay the debt back. What you don't understand is that the ordinary people of the UK were fighting for slavery to be ended for years, but big business interests had to many politicians in their pockets, and I sleep just fine I've never had or ever wanted to own a slave!

Colonialism was never and will never be a mistake. That the legacy bearers still defend themselves and their ancestors show that colonialism was a deliberate act, a deliberate decision to rob, kill and steal.
It's called evolution. If the English had not done it the spanish, french, Portuguese, Dutch or Chinese would have tried dragging these backward cultures into the 20th century.
The colonizers have committed the worst crimes in human history. The toll of life and land they stole plunder looted, and continue to loot is unimaginable, if we look for an Sincere apology and restitution f from these idiots first, we will never get it. Second, it would bankrupt Europe. It will send Europe to the dark ages where it belong, and it will still not being enough for all the lives and land and resources that they have stolen. We must get off of believing that The colonizers will ever be sorry and apologize for the crime state. Did they believe they did the world of favor by looting plundering, killing and exterminating millions of people and continue to improve British countries to unfair trading and trading practices? We must start relying on ourselves and breaking. The dependency chain on European colonization is. Help, we must help ourselves and look out for ourselves and put our people's interest first. Europeans will never try to train with people. They consider their inferiors fairly because they don't believe that we are their equals. Therefore, we'll never deal with us fairly. We must demand respect and quit crawling and grabbing for strolls from these European colonizers.and just start trying to take control of our land and our resources and take it out of the hands. Of the looters and control it ourselves. colonization was a horrible experience for the people that they conquered and affected millions of people were killed during the colonial years and are still being killed and nothing in the world. No restigation or anything could ever make up for the tones and lives that were destroyed and Colonization was not a mistake. It was a deliberate act of conquering stealing robbing, manipulating and looting the world that they conquered concilization was not a mistake. It was a deliberate act of genocide Saying sorry, is not gonna fix the problem. They don't mean it and I don't want to hear Sorry I Only WANT them to get out of our lands and Stay. But unfortunately that's not the reality today. We in the world are too connected colonizers must change their attitude towards the rest of the world or nothing will ever change.

They should pay these countries and the peoples families' including forcefully settling people in countries after slavery, murder, rapes, loots etc. Billions of people suffer these days because of the colonial slavery and displacement of people from their original parent countries to another. If they believe in Democracy they should pay or make a payment plan

Everyone complicit in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and colonialism is dead, as an African, I personally don't see why the people who were "unfortunate enough" to be born in Europe should apologise for things that happened long before they came along. We all must acknowledge the atrocities of the past and work together to build a future worth having but can we please stop asking Europeans for apologies? I understand European nations must be forced to give back all of our stuff that is gathering European dust in their museums. It is ridiculous that they keep all our stuff and make money off it. The apologies are a no for me. Somehow I suspect a heartfelt apology from any European leader will not take away the bitterness and hurt we all have when it comes to the histories of our unfortunate ancestors.
they wont, because its dumb, every nation on earth has had slaves, its that simple, it was better to stop the modern slavetrade thats still going on today, in india, arabia, africa and so on

Should we sum up all Asian and African nations as the same? Slavery was used in Africa, modernized by Asia middle east nations. So was genocide. The British empire ended slavery and handed over territory and independence. The word slave comes from enslaved Slavic people being exported to Africa and Asia, yet we pretend Europeans are the only guilty ones. Why?
Thank You!. because the universities are controlled by marxists, and marxists dispise Western Civilization because it was created by Jews and Christians.

In India, Upper caste is paying reparations in the form of reservations to Lower caste for 75 years now. God know how many more years these reparations would continue.

Trade deals with former colonizer countries should incorporate a "reparation tax fee" that accounts for the colonial legacy of exploitation and oppression. This fee would serve as a symbolic and material recognition of the historical harms and debts incurred by colonization. The fee would also be transparently communicated to those countries, so they would understand the rationale and the purpose behind this additional charge on trade.

Haha- India govt must pay for impoverish the “untouchable” caste. Emperor Asoka enslaved thousands during his reign. And many world dynasties enslaved and killed millions. Pay up.
This is an unusual topic since by all rankings, India stands at the top of the list as the country with the largest population of slaves in the world today---nearly 10 million, with some estimates as high as 18 million.
In India slavery is illegal. Whatever slavery count you get is done illegally. 10 million is like 0.7% of India. This number was big when India got independence. Now it will take time to improve things considering India have suffered 150yrs under british colonization. Britisher didn't just took 45 Trillion dollars but they also brainwashed Indians into thinking they are slaves. So many don't raise their voice and keep doing slavery. This thing is something passed through generation. But it will improve with time.

No doubt that the former colonies including India were gravely harmed by the colonisers, especially the Britain. Close to 100 000 Indian soldiers laid their lives for Britain in WW I. There’s no way that these declining European criminal nations can pay these sums. The least they can do is to apologise sincerely. Decency and comity of nations demand that.

None of the children of Barbados slave's paid for transportation. I joking about something serious. But it's similar to UK demanding reparations from Italy because of Roman Empire looting.
Since Barbados did not even exist as a geopolitical and legal entity until 1966, the current government has NO LEGAL STANDING to sue for reparations for slavery that ended many years before it even existed. The slaves themselves OR their legal descendants may have a slight chance of launching a class action for reparations, however, they would have extreme difficulty determining exactly whom they were going to sue and on who's behalf they were suing. Would they be suing Spain, Portugal or Britain? Since Britain ended the slave trade in 1807 and brought forward full emancipation of the slaves in 1834; should they be held to account? Since Spain was only involved for so few number of years and actually were not bringing slaves into Barbados, but capturing Caribs who lived on Barbados and trading them to other islands; should they be exempt? Exactly which peoples should be receiving benefits from reparations; Which descendants of which slaves should be eligible for reparations? Should it include descendants of slaves from The Bight of Biafra, the Gold Coast, the Bight of Benin? Should it also include descendants of Caribs from Barbados itself or from other Caribbean islands? Let's just postulate that it covers only slaves traded from Africa; what damages did these people suffer? Would they have been better off, if left in Africa? If they had been left to their own devices in Africa, would they have created their own version of Wakanda or would they have simple been sold off by Muslims or by the Portuguese to some other customer.
Never any mention of black slave traders operating in Africa or Caribbean Islands selling to European, Arab etc slave traders, so are descendents of black slave traders in line for " reparations " ? It's ridiculous. Pay to who for what and why? Nonsense! Give it a rest Barbados!
Yup. And will Mongolia pay Arabs for the destruction of Baghdad? Is Ms. Barbados going after the Slavers who brought the Slave Coffles to the Coast? So that would be Mali, Ghana, Nigeria, et al...Frankly, the Congo should be suing the Belgians.
Imagine you being the biggest reason for them being in poverty and later calling them poor. Forget shame, these humiliation are not enough that they beg for repayment of their so called aid.😂 Remember when India landed on lunar South pole.

Nobody can argue that what the UK did historically was wrong, but what do people living in the UK today have to do with what their ancestors did many generations before they were born. We laugh and scorn countries like North Korea who punish children for the 'political crimes' of their grandfathers, but how would bankrupting British people -who have never committed a crime, had nothing to do with slavery, and are generally some of the most liberal people in the world, giving a huge amount of international aid annually - help anyone? Tell a young British mother that unfortunately she cant afford to feed her children this week because the great, great, great grandfather of a local aristocrat once colonized a country that she's never been to.

We have a bill of £1000 Trillion for the death of 50% of the European population for the black death once we get paid that monies submit your bill ... and as the British & the Empire were the 1st country to outlaw slavery in 1807 , Britain compensated the slave owners in 1838 in India who mostly were natives btw so India has been compensated! Can we submit our bill to India including interest please. And Britain obviously would like compensation from Italy for Roman occupation 2000 yrs ago, compensation from Norway and Denmark for Viking slavery of the Saxons in the 7th & 8th century and obviously France for 1066 once are coffers are full the UK will happily process compensation claims from former slaves who present themselves in London in person !

Palki thanks for broadcasting Caribbean issues with Barbados reparations with a 4.9Tn dollars tag. Using my Analytical ability We have to look at this sensitive issue from a realistic point of view from the 3 criteria. 1 Analyze from history Centuries etc what the UK and Europe were bringing to the Caribbean in terms of monetary investments 2 Analyze what was actually taken out by the Colonizers who meant very well to to explore develop and Colonize. 3 the Difference will be considered as reparations in the final analysis. Keep up the good work Palki you inspire me to think on this.

They won't do it because it is an ancient problem and the way of all humanity since ther have been humans. Currently there are different approaches or perpetrators but it is still the way of humanity and particularly the way of governments, no matter what types of government they purport to be. This is part of life , enjoy the reprieve if you are able, and forget about ancient history it will only hold you back.
But the same British through Guardian and BBC will keep saying that 2000 years ago Brahmins did “atrocity” on the casteless (by self-segregation)! And the reservations going on for 3/4 century must continue..but the colonisers from Britain who fought wars with 4-5 other fellow Europeans less than 3centuries ago, to occupy India, must somehow be treated as ancient history and we should move on, without our artifacts or compensation!!
Giving money to black people & black countries won't change the under lying problems facing black countries & black people. Bad mind & jealousy of each other & other people is our problems.

Or "The sins of the father are not sins of the son". These excuses are so nearsighted and almost sound juvenile.

Sunak finds himself in a strange position. His ancestors labored for the British in Kenya, building the Railway, etc. He doesn't think that the more than 100 Indians consumed by the man-eating lions deserve some kind of compensation.🤣
I think it's idiotic to ask for and expect reparations. The amounts are many times the wealth of these European countries and therefore they will resist paying back. If we peoples, Asians, Africans, and original Americans, are serious about getting the compensation then we need to use force and persuasion. Peacefully asking will not work.

That’s excessive and unrealistic. The GDP of England isn’t even close to that. Greed is what will scuttle any talk or negotiation of reparations.

A lot of Indians helped the British in their loot. They are royals and business owners in UK.
Up until 2015, the UK taxpayers were still paying former slave owners compensation for loss of resources, imagine that! the rapist, murderers, and thieves can claim damages and under British law receive compensation, but the victim's voice is not heard. British/European justice at its best.
Yet we ended the Atlantic slave trade for everyone. We were also being enalved by Africans who were raiding our coastlines long before Britain was involved in the slave trade.
Maybe you should’ve have defeated the much smaller British army and not got colonized 😴

Colonialism was never and will never be a mistake. That the legacy bearers still defend themselves and their ancestors show that colonialism was a deliberate act, a deliberate decision to rob, kill and steal.
It's called evolution. If the English had not done it the spanish, french, Portuguese, Dutch or Chinese would have tried dragging these backward cultures into the 20th century.
Indeed. And it is going on Live right now in Palestine, by a state called Israel established by the British *colony* of Palestine.
The colonizers have committed the worst crimes in human history. The toll of life and land they stole plunder looted, and continue to loot is unimaginable, if we look for an Sincere apology and restitution f from these idiots first, we will never get it. Second, it would bankrupt Europe. It will send Europe to the dark ages where it belong, and it will still not being enough for all the lives and land and resources that they have stolen. We must get off of believing that The colonizers will ever be sorry and apologize for the crime state. Did they believe they did the world of favor by looting plundering, killing and exterminating millions of people and continue to improve British countries to unfair trading and trading practices? We must start relying on ourselves and breaking. The dependency chain on European colonization is. Help, we must help ourselves and look out for ourselves and put our people's interest first. Europeans will never try to train with people. They consider their inferiors fairly because they don't believe that we are their equals. Therefore, we'll never deal with us fairly. We must demand respect and quit crawling and grabbing for strolls from these European colonizers.and just start trying to take control of our land and our resources and take it out of the hands. Of the looters and control it ourselves. colonization was a horrible experience for the people that they conquered and affected millions of people were killed during the colonial years and are still being killed and nothing in the world. No restigation or anything could ever make up for the tones and lives that were destroyed and Colonization was not a mistake. It was a deliberate act of conquering stealing robbing, manipulating and looting the world that they conquered concilization was not a mistake. It was a deliberate act of genocide Saying sorry, is not gonna fix the problem. They don't mean it and I don't want to hear Sorry I Only WANT them to get out of our lands and Stay.

Everyone complicit in the trans-Atlantic slave trade and colonialism is dead, as an African, I personally don't see why the people who were "unfortunate enough" to be born in Europe should apologise for things that happened long before they came along.
We all must acknowledge the atrocities of the past and work together to build a future worth having but can we please stop asking Europeans for apologies?
I understand European nations must be forced to give back all of our stuff that is gathering European dust in their museums. It is ridiculous that they keep all our stuff and make money off it. The apologies are a no for me.

Should we sum up all Asian and African nations as the same? Slavery was used in Africa, modernized by Asia middle east nations. So was genocide. The British empire ended slavery and handed over territory and independence. The word slave comes from enslaved Slavic people being exported to Africa and Asia, yet we pretend Europeans are the only guilty ones. Why?

Trade deals with former colonizer countries should incorporate a "reparation tax fee" that accounts for the colonial legacy of exploitation and oppression. This fee would serve as a symbolic and material recognition of the historical harms and debts incurred by colonization. The fee would also be transparently communicated to those countries, so they would understand the rationale and the purpose behind this additional charge on trade.

None of the children of Barbados slave's paid for transportation. I joking about something serious. But it's similar to UK demanding reparations from Italy because of Roman Empire looting.
Since Barbados did not even exist as a geopolitical and legal entity until 1966, the current government has NO LEGAL STANDING to sue for reparations for slavery that ended many years before it even existed. The slaves themselves OR their legal descendants may have a slight chance of launching a class action for reparations, however, they would have extreme difficulty determining exactly whom they were going to sue and on who's behalf they were suing. Would they be suing Spain, Portugal or Britain? Since Britain ended the slave trade in 1807 and brought forward full emancipation of the slaves in 1834; should they be held to account? Since Spain was only involved for so few number of years and actually were not bringing slaves into Barbados, but capturing Caribs who lived on Barbados and trading them to other islands; should they be exempt? Exactly which peoples should be receiving benefits from reparations;
Which descendants of which slaves should be eligible for reparations? Should it include descendants of slaves from The Bight of Biafra, the Gold Coast, the Bight of Benin? Should it also include descendants of Caribs from Barbados itself or from other Caribbean islands?
Let's just postulate that it covers only slaves traded from Africa; what damages did these people suffer? Would they have been better off, if left in Africa? If they had been left to their own devices in Africa, would they have created their own version of Wakanda or would they have simple been sold off by Muslims or by the Portuguese to some other customer.
Never any mention of black slave traders operating in Africa or Caribbean Islands selling to European, Arab etc slave traders, so are descendents of black slave traders in line for " reparations " ? It's ridiculous. Pay to who for what and why? Nonsense! Give it a rest Barbados!
I will say it again. Every country in the ancient time had slavery.

We have a bill of £1000 Trillion for the death of 50% of the European population for the black death once we get paid that monies submit your bill ... and as the British & the Empire were the 1st country to outlaw slavery in 1807 , Britain compensated the slave owners in 1838 in India who mostly were natives btw so India has been compensated! Can we submit our bill to India including interest please. And Britain obviously would like compensation from Italy for Roman occupation 2000 yrs ago, compensation from Norway and Denmark for Viking slavery of the Saxons in the 7th & 8th century and obviously France for 1066 once are coffers are full the UK will happily process compensation claims from former slaves who present themselves in London in person !

2 Analyze what was actually taken out by the Colonizers who meant very well to to explore develop and Colonize.
3 the Difference will be considered as reparations in the final analysis.

But the same British through Guardian and BBC will keep saying that 2000 years ago Brahmins did “atrocity” on the casteless (by self-segregation)! And the reservations going on for 3/4 century must continue..but the colonisers from Britain who fought wars with 4-5 other fellow Europeans less than 3centuries ago, to occupy India, must somehow be treated as ancient history and we should move on, without our artifacts or compensation!!
Giving money to black people & black countries won't change the under lying problems facing black countries & black people. Bad mind & jealousy of each other & other people is our problems. Our lack of working together. Take America as a example. the richest group of blacks. You don't see any wealthy among us talking about the violence we commit against each other.
That’s not all true
Your nation does the same why should it be any different
Good luck with that. Lol.
JAIBHAWANI 🇮🇳 🐅 🌄
Spot on Palki
Every statement was backed by solid facts.
It’s high time the British colony of loot apologised and offered reparations.
It’s unfair and unforgivable if due compensation isn’t given.
The rest of the world should exclude the tiny island uk , if they fail to do so.
Yeah you are dreaming.
105 English men bluffed 800 million Indians and took all their money of them.
Must be the greatest feat of all time.
The English were real warrior's.
I have a great (x48) grandfather who was murdered by the vikings when he had a farm in Mercia, now England. His wife and daughters were also brutally raped. I have sued the Danish government for £1,000,000 in reparations.
@@Herc4ever,you are stupid..if 50 years later,china decided to proof herself a warrior by annihilation of old warrior then!!if this is the way you describe warrior then dig a grave because there will be always someone better warrior than you..
"compensation" , for what?
Lol
I don’t think this problem will be solved too soon
What a crock they are not getting anything. Sorry to say.
Should Qatar be giving reparations to the migrant Labourers and workers?
Yes we are with Barabados. Uk should pay
Totally agree. Then you can all move back to Africa and Great Britain can own Barbados again and have it running properly.
@@michaelmurphy1127Batbados never belonged to the UK. They killed the natives and stole the island. You don't get to keep stolen property. Don't be ignorant
@@michaelmurphy1127I won’t move maybe better and fair banking yay I’m local Barbadian I rather see the nation run properly I ain’t moving to Africa Fck dangerous animals I’m staying I’ve lived in Barbados all my life like hell i won’t move perhaps a better life
You grab your own son, brother or sister etc. and sold him to someone. Then years later you go back to that person for reparations.
This is sheer nonsense.
My country, Ghana, then Gold Coast, was one of the perpetrators of this crime.
i saw the headline and LAUGHED
Care to elaborate?
If i was the president,intead of demanding reperation,i will have ask for unconditional political support and military and economic support.
Great great grandchildren to pay? Can not see it happening.
Of course not, if you're great great grandparents commited crimes how would you like to be the one paying the fines, not much I'd guess.
@@tomnicholson2115atleast return the stolen items
Rishi being indian , we are ashamed for not apologizing to people , very english . Double standards
( not serious ) Maybe the UK should give Barbados a bill for all their time, manpower, materials, shipping cost, lives lost, training, ... etc.... for colonizing the place, (I know, ..terrible joke, sorry bout that.)
Tides of destiny has changed. Bad luck is smiling on US UK and EU . The effects are already visible, and in another year The west will be unrecognizable. Cry more😂😂😂
I agree. You don't F up a country before and just say "It's a tragic part of history and things have changed and improved since then. Let's move on." Or "The sins of the father are not sins of the son". These excuses are so nearsighted and almost sound juvenile. We need to correct what has been wronged, and verbal forgiveness - forgive and forget - does not cut it.
Pay up 4 your parents sins and don't ask for forgiveness from whomever you've wronged 😂😂😂
We want our 45 trillion, jems and jewels + interest!!!!
noone in the world is owed 45 Trillion
Not one person alive today was punished in any slavery trade by the British. My grandfather was a slave from India too. Where’s my $5,000,000,000,000,000. I want it now.
India means not India, Bangladesh should also get the part of this amount from UK. More over, the way of dividing Bangladesh is not done properly for which India and Pakistan should pay back to Bangladesh!
Take back all your bloody illegal immigrants and rohingyas then hypocrites
4.9 Trillion + interest + taxes 😂😂😂 Britishers are not so rich to pay up the price 😂😂😂
I always said billions are useless,five hundred years 24x7.
Very good report keep up the good work i watch from st.lucia love yuh work true reportin
Sunak finds himself in a strange position. His ancestors labored for the British in Kenya, building the Railway, etc. He doesn't think that the more than 100 Indians consumed by the man-eating lions deserve some kind of compensation.🤣
Pm dont have real power. They read scripts. Most useless job in the world
If reparations were to be given, would the money go to the political elites or the people?
Elite but 50/50
I think it's idiotic to ask for and expect reparations. The amounts are many times the wealth of these European countries and therefore they will resist paying back. If we peoples, Asians, Africans, and original Americans, are serious about getting the compensation then we need to use force and persuasion. Peacefully asking will not work.
Guayana wanted reparation money as well. But things change. Now they’re begging the Western world to protect them against Venezuela
I lived in Guyana 78/79, a lot of money was poured into that country by other countries for infastructure etc. It doesn't seem to have benefitted from it . Corruption was rife. That is the problem.
Palki suddenly wearing traditional Indian clothing. 🤔
Little country of Barbados is doing what superpower india can't.
india scared.
Palki looking so beautiful today ❤❤❤❤😅😊
The 1788 Barbados Penny speaks volumes...That is a Wales crown with the African ostrich feathers tells alot!!!
The thing is thieves 😔 don't say they have theft something.
It's the reality now and forever and in the past also.
What about the black people who sold those slaves too? Should they not pay as well?
All Hindus those consider and self labelled themselves as top castes and stole multi-thousand trillion from those who were labelled as other Cs MUST payup 100 trillion to each community. This is a fact that must gain international traction and hold these people responsible(especially Brahmins, Singhs & Sharmas etc) until reparations are paid out. Otherwise, they will pay huge price for generations.
That's why they have given 75% RESERVATION in every thing , hence the WRITER of our CONSTITUTION was SC . Dr.bhim rao ambedkar .
atleast they have given identity of 75% of our democracy . Amd they are more PATRIOTIC than us .
you are teaching us to pay , bcoz you are hiding your argument , and diverting the topic .
inside you are afraid about the fact , that atrocities of britain have to pay now.
Celebfrate your GRANDFATHER was a THIEF.
AND, glad to say your MUSEUMS are running by INDIAN soil only .
HAPPY recesion !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Why would anyone pay you? majority of historical wealth was held by shudras, landowners and muslims.. you want reparations go ask them..
Nai milega 😂😂🤣😂
last thing you do is to justify anything... caste(varnas) has protected india from invaders for 5k years.
Where’s the evidence that the other communities even had multi trillion dollars to begin with? And how come they were able to “snatch “ such huge wealth from them? Were they weaklings? Where’s the EVIDENCE of those communities ever having a sngle trillion dollars never mind multi🤣🤣🤣
We dont expect those 45 trillion dollars ...britain is in no position to give back such amount 😂😂
That’s excessive and unrealistic. The GDP of England isn’t even close to that. Greed is what will scuttle any talk or negotiation of reparations. The Brits colonized, enslaved many countries around the world not to talk of plundering their resources. If cooler heads prevail and take that into consideration, England can settle for 5% of that, for all nations that were affected.
Barbados was under slavery for 300+ years, not taking into account inflation, time, and economic headstart. Lol 🤣, she is not joking, it's the truth... Do you really believe the British people are exceptional enough to be 800x+ productive!
Elon musk said he is tired of people looking good but doing evil. World peace is a joke!
@@checklyst.hillaire9675 Barbados has a right to stick to that figure for 100 generations to come and get ZERO $ or negotiate and be realistic, discounting inflation because this is not a business deal. There is nothing for sale. Go figure.
@@mandlas.4305 We both know that they would get nothing by negotiation or renegotiation, they gave the amount just as a final f you, plus they are still being given the middle finger through sanctions on Venezuela allowing US to get oil but not it's neighbors, therefore no cheap oil, at least 5% gdp growth missed last year. The amount was calculated by an independent reputable party, people speak about justice just to look good they don't really mean it. It takes massive sacrifice to achieve peace, and justice, this is not possible even in 10000 years!
@@checklyst.hillaire9675 you’re still missing the point. It doesn’t matter who calculated and arrived at that amount. All I’m saying is that all these nations should sit down and take into account that not one nation was owed reparations but 11, 12, 13 and so on. Come up with a reasonable figure that can be settled by England and shared equally amongst the affected. Imagine all 13 countries asking for US$4 trillion . That’s US$52 trillion.
Palki, we need $43 trillion from UK alone!! Please take it up. We will all support you !!
Forcing the innocent to pay nonvictims for something that happened to neither of them is not reparations.
Reparations is actual proven victims being compensated by their actual violators.
I don't know of anybody who opposes that.
You know uk have to pay 48 trillion to Indian subcontinent… I know you will cry that it’s we don’t have to pay but… you have to and you will pay

Pay who; for what?

Deflection noted.
Do you hold everybody equally responsible for the actions of their ancestors?
Even yourself?
@@manannaik1341
Who rules the UK that told them they had to do something?
@@manannaik1341 If people find out that your grandfather's and great grandfather's comited crimes, will you be happy to pay the families of the victims? even if all the victims are dead and gone! What you're asking for is for all descendants of all people to pay for crimes that their ancestors commited, this is nonsense!
Let's not forget the African royal kings who sold their people to the Europeans.
did they also take into account the blacks and arabs that caught and sold these people on the black man whom got very very rich of this practice, I am not entirely sure why a modern society is having to pay for a historic wrong as it will not make it right
Welldone ,barbados!!
Those who are not victims should never be compensated.
Right, Catherine but okay for others to inherit the loot? Okay for you to walk on streets and use plumbing etc paid for by those looted?
@@DavidStacey-hy9qzthey say anything to justify not paying
So if a guy stolen ur car and died next day , does his kids have rights to keep ur car?
@@busypandey no. Stolen goods are stolen. Theft doesn't become legit with death.
@@DavidStacey-hy9qz Thats what i am saying. Even children of those victims have right on what had been looted from their parents!!!
