At this epoch of Mankind’s evo­lu­tion, where democ­racy and respect for human rights are being immor­tal­ized as indis­pen­si­ble virtues which every soci­ety must pos­sess and are uni­ver­sal yard­sticks by which the actions of gov­ern­ments are mea­sured, it is almost incon­ceiv­able that there are still those who con­tinue to reject the idea of repa­ra­tions for descen­dants of African slaves. Recently, a book on the sub­ject by Pro­fes­sor Sir Hilary McD. Beck­les, pro-​vice chan­cel­lor at the UWI Cave Hill cam­pus a lead­ing activist and eco­nomic his­to­rian was pub­lished. Enti­tled Britain Black Debt: Repa­ra­tions for Caribbean Slav­ery and Native Geno­cide, it sets out a com­pelling case for Repa­ra­tions from Britain which can­not be coun­ter­acted by any of the sophisms and spe­cious rea­sons posited by cyn­i­cal detractors.

    @ Well Well …who said..
    “…In an update today re the US shutdown, the Chinese stated and i quote “because of the pernicious state of the US shutdown, the world needs to become de-americanized and a new centralized currency introduced.” They currently hold 3.5 trillion dollars of America’s debt, talk about calling the shots. I hope the leaders in the Caribbean understand the ramifications of such utterings.”
    ************
    You better hope that your AMERICAN friends understand the ramifications…..
    This shutdown may well be the catalyst that leads to the long proposed creation of a new global currency….and will put an end to Uncle Sam’s ability to just print dollars willy nilly.

    Excellent point Konkieman, except that the man you talking bout is a half – a -idiot who don’t see things the way we do….
    This is a fellow who does think 500 years down the road; who have no problem with a couple million lives here or there..

    The other trick is to borrow 5 Trillion dollars and then force the currency to be devalued to the extent where that $ 5T is now worth next to nothing (easily done through quantitative easing) otherwise known as printing money…..

    Either way…. It will backfire when the world decides finally to drop the US $ as the international trading currency. The day after that happens the USA (and all it’s appendages like us) will implode

    “Watch WWII footage about the discovery of death camps and you will realize it was a secret kept even from the German people.”

    the only thing kept secret were the death camps. Germans paid with their lives to resue Jews. it was wrong but it was the law to accommodate jews, just like it was with the slaves, their captors knew it was wrong but laws were enacted to make it legal and yes just like the jews, whites were punished when discovered rescuing them. i agree with Pinkie, the Jews got their justice in the form of money, the ancestors of slaves are entitled to theirs

    On a trip to Bergen-Belsen,some years ago,while serving in BAOR, when the locals were asked for directions to the old extermination camp, just like during WW2, they pretended that they were not aware of such a place. That is why towards the end of the war when the Yanks crossed the Rhine and came across Bergen-Belsen,General Eisenhower , rounded up all the people in the surrounding villages ,and showed them what was going on in their neighbourhood,,and as he so rightly put it…..”because someday some bastard is going to say that this never happened.”

    It has been reported that Cari­com has hired Leigh Day & Co., the legal firm which recently won the case for com­pen­sa­tion for the Kenyan Mau Mau rebels, who were tor­tured by the British gov­ern­ment in the 1950s and 60s, wherein the British gov­ern­ment agreed to pay £19.9 mil­lion to thou­sands of Kenyans sur­vivors.
    ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    How on earth can reparations be paid to survivors of slavery which ended nearly 200 years ago?

    Is Caricom going to be able to somehow give legal status to duppies?

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh … I get it, our leaders will be paid the reparations and see to it that the duppies get it!!

    That way the duppies don’t need to have legal status.

    Simply brilliant.

    Do you mean descendants?

    It isn’t the descendants of the Mau Mau that are getting reparations.

    It is the actual living survivors of those who were tortured.

    Similarly, after WWII, many survivors of the Holocaust were alive and had been wronged by the state.

    Final for the night …..

    It is pointless looking for survivors of slavery that was abolished nearly 200 years ago.

    There are none.

    What survives is the thinking which led to the abolition of slavery as a legal construct and a moral norm.

    Thousands of years of history were changed.

    Man’s heart was changed by God.

    This change is what survives and this is directly traceable to access to the Bible which has its own rather horrible history.

    Give God the Glory and stop looking for financial handouts.

    For those who have not read the submission here is what it states near the end:

    The fol­low­ing is a non-​exhaustive list of prac­ti­cal means by which of com­pen­sa­tion can be made:

    – Free education

    – Free healthcare

    – Land grants

    – Interest-​free loans

    – Reha­bil­i­ta­tion centers

    – Cul­tural and Social pro­grams to instill sol­i­dar­ity among the mem­bers of the African Diaspora.

    Though there may be many other spe­cific ways of pro­vid­ing com­pen­sa­tion, ulti­mately repa­ra­tion has to become a com­plete sci­ence of doing repair and pro­vid­ing redress for injus­tice. After the repa­ra­tions pro­gram is under­taken, there should be experts and fields of study in pro­vid­ing repa­ra­tion. The ben­e­fits to be derived will be tremen­dous. Effec­tive imple­men­ta­tion would help fos­ter under­stand­ing and pro­mote tol­er­ance; unit­ing the global vil­lage under a com­mon ban­ner of good will.

    I am not trivializing anything just reducing your submission to simpler terms.

    I too read the bit at the end, besides the bit about the survivors of the Mau Mau.

    What is so difficult to understand about the difference between a survivor and a descendant?

    There is not a mention of the descendants of the Mau Mau but the article is replete with mentions of the descendants of African slaves.

    There are no survivors of slavery to benefit from the fol­low­ing non-​exhaustive list of prac­ti­cal means by which of com­pen­sa­tion can be made:

    – Free education

    – Free healthcare

    – Land grants

    – Interest-​free loans

    – Reha­bil­i­ta­tion centers

    – Cul­tural and Social pro­grams to instill sol­i­dar­ity among the mem­bers of the African Diaspora.

    Though there may be many other spe­cific ways of pro­vid­ing com­pen­sa­tion, ulti­mately repa­ra­tion has to become a com­plete sci­ence of doing repair and pro­vid­ing redress for injus­tice. ….. there are no survivors to benefit from this science.

    After the repa­ra­tions pro­gram is under­taken, there should be experts and fields of study in pro­vid­ing repa­ra­tion. Since there will be no survivors around after the reparations program, there will be no need for the experts.

    The ben­e­fits to be derived will be tremen­dous but alas, there are no survivors around to enjoy them.

    Effec­tive imple­men­ta­tion would help fos­ter under­stand­ing and pro­mote tol­er­ance; unit­ing the global vil­lage under a com­mon ban­ner of good will. ….. what a load of rubbish!!

    I am a descendant of African slaves …… a simple fact. I don’t need a dna test to prove it, my pedigree is available.

    This article is directed at descendants of African slaves ….. like me …. but does nothing for me.

    So Bush Tea, it has nothing to do with Blackness, the qualification is “descendant of African slaves” and you can console yourself in the knowledge that even if you are an oreo or an octoroon, a quadroon or any other weird and wonderful creation of nature, once you are a descendant of African slaves, the article applies to you!!

    Read the article!!

    I, and you cannot be equated with a survivor of the Holocaust or a survivor of the Mau Mau rebellion.

    I, and you cannot ask for reparations for what happened to my and our ancestors 200 years ago.

    … but I, and you can deal with the now.

    And we can do so because my and your ancestors, whether they were African, European, Jewish, Amerindian, Irish or Scottish, or whatever else were led to a way of thinking that allows us to do so today.

    Bush Tea…………i do agree with some of your comments, but dammit, just like these lawmakers shout from rooftops about criminals being held accountable for murders and all manner of evil crimes……..their ancestors and by extension they themselves should not just benefit from criminality and live happily ever after….that is not moral standards, that is telling them they can do the same evil again, because why, their evil ancestors got away with it, they were never going to lock up themselves A serious message needs to be sent, why, because we are the survivors and can do so successfully.

    But that is not the same as seeking to force them to hand over their ill gotten inheritance …… LOL Wuh that is probably exactly how their ancestors saw the original slave trade anyhow…..of forcibly taking something that they felt was rightfully theirs…..we would be just like them – except instead of taking stuff ‘vi et armis’, we would be taking it ‘vi et courtis’….

    If you go by the article published it matters not how black ( !!??) you are.

    All that matters is whether you are the descendant of an African Slave … which for example I am.

    It follows therefore that an African who may be as black as the ace of spades but whose ancestors never became slaves does not qualify for reparations.

    Skin colour does not apply …. hey this may actually described as a completely non-racist act.

    John…………..i believe we can truthfully and without any reservations whatsoever say that the blacks born in the Caribbean during and immediately after slavery will definitely and without a shadow of a doubt qualify as descendants of slaves and African Slavery, it is not rocket science, they did not take a plane or boat from Africa and decide to migrate to the Caribbean…………..you are nitpicking much.

    WW

    Go to the archives or easier, go onto familysearch.org and see if you find a single baptismal certificate “immediately after slavery” which says whether the child, or adult, is black, white or blue!!

    In some cases there are no records!!

    How do plan on truthfully saying what you want to?

    There will be no record saying WW’s great great great great grand parent was born on such a date to such and such a slave!!

    I can show that one of my many ancestors was born to a mulatto slave around 1816 because it so happens the child was baptized and she is shown in 1802/3 baptizing her first of 10 children described as a mulatto slave property of xyz!!

    However, for many at the time of emancipation, there is only a first name in the slave register with no surname.

    That’s just how it was.

    I can also show another of my many ancestors from a will of the owner was probably around in 1721 when he was freed but there is absolutely no record of his birth in church records ….. and not because he was a slave.

    I have other ancestors who also do not appear in Church Records for the simple reason they did not attend church ….. like most other families of the era ….. and not because they were slaves!!

    I believe they were “white”, but would not put my hand on a Bible and swear this was the case given what I have found out in my research.

    I am dealing in reality!

    For an African, born in Africa it will probably be impossible to tell if he or she is the decendant of an African slave.

    That is just how it was!

    @Bushie et al
    This is a very complex subject, simply because it is NOT just black versus white. I am apparently very white as I had blond hair as a kid and blue eyes, BUT most of my family did NOT ever own slaves, on my Mother’s side they did in the 1700s. My Mother was a poor orphan and my Father had to go to work at 13 to help feed his multitude of siblings.

    So how could I be responsible to owe anyone? Especially when most of my friends at home and School were NOT White and I have never treated any person negatively, called them names ie the N word etc. I have always treated people of colour with utmost respect and as I would a white person in the same situation.

    Personally it was difficult to have to read the History of Slavery at HC especially when we learned that the slaves were counted with the Cattle and horses. The ancestors of my friends and peers.

    I dont personally feel that I should have to pay large sums of money. I also dont think that it would be wise to give young black peeps $50,000 or whatever in cash.( or Pols who would likely take the Lion’s share as often happens) However, ensuring good education with Computer Labs and teaching programs, proper Health Care etc in predominately Black areas of Nth Am and naturally the Cbean would rate highly on my Agenda.

    By the way, we should be all be keeping an eye on Haiti at this point to make sure their leaders don’t allow slavery of their people to be once again repeated………..Haiti is really not that far from the other Caribbean islands and if they are now looking attractive as the cheapest labor in the Caribbean, in the eyes of the descendants of known exploiters, guess how attractive bajans may look as slaves in another 2 years if the government on the island cannot get their acts together……everyone is looking for an argument against reparations but clearly cannot see the threat of re-enslavement of the Caribbean people looming right before their cloudy eyes……..LOL!!
