They can fuck off, the British not only PAID to release the slaves from slave owners to end the practice, they also used military force and (gunboat) diplomacy to end it elsewhere.
The BBC reports on the comments of a UN judge, Patrick Robinson, that the estimate his group, the Brattle Group, has produced in their report "Reparations for Transatlantic Chattel Slavery" is an underestimate:
You need to bear in mind that these high figures, as high as they appear to be, reflect an underestimation of the reality of the damage caused by transatlantic chattel slavery. That's a comment that cannot be ignored.
The total reparations bill the report assesses 107 trillion dollars or 87 trillion pounds.
It seems that in the viewpoint of many organisations, it does not matter if monies have been paid; for the original sin of ethnic origin, certain demographics must be made to pay and pay and pay again, until all assets have been transferred from people have have never owned slaves to people who have never been enslaved.
Also note the terms of reference: Reparations for Transatlantic Chattel Slavery
Can you see how narrowly-focused this is to ignore all other slavery, past and present, but ensure that taxes can be levied upon the demographics that it's fashionable to despise?
Oh, the terms have reference have been carefully crafted to ensure the buck stops with the Euro nations and America.
If you read the report, they've gone full CRT here. Any difference between white and black populations - earnings, incarceration rates, life expectancy, wealth, all of it is assumed to be due to racism and all of it is assessed as payable as taxes due to black populations simply for being white.
So any difference in average earnings now is arbitrarily determined to be down to me enslaving black people and thus due for reparations.
They also seem to carefully curate the interest rates they use over the centuries, embracing the highest interest rates they can find, but discarding low or negative interest rates - gotta pump those numbers up, right?
Entitlement spending is the second best example (after prison populations) of the blatant hypocrisy of “Disparate Impact Theory”. Blacks have received wildly disparate benefit payments from the government, to the point where black citizens are net negative contributors to government revenue, and yet no one ever talks about “equalizing” that particular disparity.
You have got to be kidding me. I know it’s near impossible but western countries need to just say the case is closed about past grievances. Especially since everyone involved is long dead. Honestly send some of those people to west Africa so they can complain about slavery and see what those counties say. Or the Middle East.
The UK should pay that when the Africans, Arabs, Portuguese, Norse etc etc pay them reparations for the centuries of them being enslaved.
Funny how the Africans try to claim slavery is the reason why their country is shit (spoilers, it isn't) when The UK had slavers for centuries but still then made the largest empire in the history of the planet.
How about Africa pays the UK indefinite sums of money for abolishing the slave trade when they did? But I guess they'll also just selectively ignore all of the descendents of slaves who now live in compared luxury to their ancestors mud huts.
Yeah, but we still have something, the reasoning appears to be, so we must keep paying until there is nothing left of the UK. Only then will the scourge of slavery finally be over!
Just don't look at modern-day Africa, where it's rampant.
They can fuck off, the British not only PAID to release the slaves from slave owners to end the practice, they also used military force and (gunboat) diplomacy to end it elsewhere.
When has the UN ENDED slavery?
Abolish the UN
That building would make a fantastic parking garage...
Who elected the UN?
Deal with active slavery before talking reparations.
But then how can you destroy western countries and genocide their people?
Those people want to put my people into permanent slavery. There can be no peace. One group or the other must cease existing.

How much of those trillions need to be payed by the africans that sold the slaves?

Maybe the Ottomans had a point in castrating all of their slaves.

"£18 trillion, for now."

This judge should go get fucked
The UN is 2 wolves and a sheep voting for their next meal.
Right.
Up the UN's ass with Mobilgas.
what are you, retarded? the uk already paid.
Yeah, but we still have something, the reasoning appears to be, so we must keep paying until there is nothing left of the UK. Only then will the scourge of slavery finally be over!
Just don't look at modern-day Africa, where it's rampant.
They should offer £18.80, take it or leave it.
Really it's 0 but £18 is too good of a fuck you offer.
