Britain’s greatest intellect and towering colossus of international diplomacy, David ‘Lamebrain’ Lammy, is just one of many (IMHO) UK-hating idiots demanding reparations for Britain’s past involvement in slavery. He, of course, ignores the fact that many British sailors and soldiers lost their lives in abolishing slavery. But I agree with Lamebrain Lammy. I think reparations should be paid for our slave-owning past.
The average GDP per capita in Sub-Saharan Africa, where many of the slaves came from, is approximately $1,581. Now if we look at the countries where the slaves were taken, we can seen that leaving Africa was absolutely the best thing which could have happened for their descendants. The average GDP per capita of African Americans is around $23,000. The average GDP per capita for the Caribbean countries is around $18,000.
Moreover, the life expectancy in Sub-Saharan Africa is 62.6 years. For African Americans it is 77.4 years and for the Caribbean it is 73.7 years.
Admittedly, being moved to America and the Caribbean to work as slaves probably wasn’t particularly pleasant for the Africans who were originally enslaved. I guess their GDP per capita was pretty much non-existent and their life expectancy wasn’t too great either.
But getting out of the hopeless, rotten hell-hole that is Africa has been like winning the lottery for the living descendants of slaves both in terms of their incomes and life expectancy. So perhaps these descendants of slaves should be showing their gratitude by paying the descendants of slave-owners lots of money for giving them much improved life chances?
How about that, Mr ‘Lamebrain’ Lammy?

Didn’t David Starkey try to point this out too. The tragedy is modern slavery still goes on but the same people who make so much noise about historical events are not interested.
Just last month a woman was found guilty of keeping a slave in Oxford. BBC described her as a united nations judge and high court judge from Uganda but apparently living in UK for some reason. Not a peep from the commies and multiculters – the same crowd who tell us how important diversity which is helpful as benefits are not immediately apparent.
I just came back from Japan and what an impressive country that is. Sleep with doors open at night, polite, friendly people and i experienced much kindness from random strangers as i wondered around lost a lot of the time. I know their finances have not benefited from being at the forefront of the mmt crap but culturally they have kept their unique identity and its wonderful to experience.
Earlier I saw a brief clip of Thomas Sowell taking about slavery but I can’t find it. There are several if you do a search but I couldn’t find the one I was looking for. He made the point that the slave trade existed in Africa and no Europeans captured slaves. They bought them from Africans. He went on to say that it is more important to deal with modern day slavery and he mentioned Cameroon and Pakistan as being the worst countries today.
Ridiculous idea.
1. Why should we, who have never owned slaves, pay reparations to people who have never been slaves? And
2. Reparation demanders see this as a perfect opportunity to transfer money from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries.
