I thought that's how they got the money in the first place

Indeed, we were pussies. We were content with torturing them ragheads We should have also killed them and their families!

Edit: Oh wait we did

I am sure they didn't do the same to you, and were the most honorable of warriors, being the modern fusion between Saladin and Santa Claus.

You do understand that a corporation is made up of stockholders who are private citizens?

Instead of taking a small sum of money from one person, you're taking large sums of money from a lot of people.

serves the stockholders right for buying stock in slave trading companies.

They should research the companies they are buying stock in.

Though I will admit, I doubt their previous status as being involved in the slave trade is listed in the prospectus.

You want to punish people today for something that happened 200 years ago?

As long as we're in the reparations mode here, I am formally demanding compensation from the following:

For the illegal occupation and annexation of Poland: the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Austria, and the Russian Federation for the abuse of my ancestors.

For the illegal occupation and annexation of Scotland: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, again for the abuse of my ancestors.

For the illegal occupation and annexation of Norway: the Kingdom of Sweden and the Kingdom of Denmark.

Prime Minister Blair, Chancellor Schroder, and President Putin are welcome to contact me at any time to inform me how much in compensation I shall be receiving. Thank you.

Except for the terror in Algiers, they were mostly "honorable" in that most of the war happened between armed forces.

As to the battle of Algiers, we managed to be even more barbaric than them

That would be technically impossible. But what Castro says, you do, or else.

Shows what you know.

With that logic, USA is also run by decendents of the slaves. Just ask Condie.

The difference being that most of the Cuban government is black, whereas almost none of the American government is Black.

we stopped buying in 1808.

The last slave ship to the U.S. entered in the 1850s, despite the fact that it was illegal. When it came to Black slaves, the law wasn't too well enforced.

By what metric do you use to say that Africa would have been better left untouched?

By the metric that millions of their people wouldn't have been carted off or slaughtered, that their societies wouldn't have been destroyed, that their modern nations wouldn't have been articfically cobbled together across ethnic boundires in the interests of Europe, that the African people wouldn't have been hearded into the disease ridden parts of Africa, etc.

why?

Just because I support black causes. What have you got against black people to be against reparations? Don't they deserve some compensation?

I just don't want them to take it from me . But I have no problem if they take it from rich people.

What's wrong with that? They should be celebrating ethnic diversity!
