My family lived in the backstreets of London in the gutter until the late 1940’s. They worked as labourers in the docks and as domestic servants in the kitchens and parlours the munitions factories and they spilt their blood on the battlefields of Europe and Asia. Probably a different type of slavery hypothetically but bonded into everything they did with no recourse. Today we have managed to break free of all the chains that kept all these people locked in quiet servitude. We upwardly mobilised slowly and since then in the last 80 years our family can boast a plethora of successful people, a footballer an England cricketer, a vice president of the bank of America (in Britain). A physicist that has taught throughout the world and many more that have decided that it is better to look forward and strive than to look behind and whine about all the injustice that we have endured and that we should be positive and pleasant. What we have to understand is that moaning and gripping have become a full time job and it’s very well paid don’t forget that. I enjoyed your episode lads. I don’t think that you are racist but there are a lot of people in the world of all different shapes and beliefs that are and they want paying for it because it’s their livelihood
Guys, just to highlight one major aspect of this debate is the financial compensation paid to British slave owners after the abolition of slavery in 1833, rather than to the enslaved individuals. The British government paid £20 million (equivalent to around £16.5 billion today) to compensate slave owners for the loss of their “property”-a staggering amount that represented 40% of the Treasury’s annual spending at the time . This payment has been highlighted as a historical injustice that continues to have implications today. We have activists and scholars argue that reparations are not merely about financial compensation but also about acknowledging the historical wrongs and their lasting impacts. The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has been vocal about this, calling for a joint program of rehabilitation and renewal rather than mere handouts . Additionally, there are demands for Britain to contribute to development in former colonies as a form of reparations.
why don't you explore the curent problems for immigrant workers in every country in the Middle East .... talk to the maids , nannys , drivers , road cleaners and bin men and then you might getting better perspective on modern day slavery

Same guy saying this thinks people should get homes because of 3k years ago. Just unserious.

Land reparations and their own currency that's what you should give them set them free indeed reparations is healthy healing and good change
In this world you are both a blank page.

America isn't racist 😬 it's the most racist country in the top 10, at least 😂
And yet people are dying to get there. I'm assuming Africa is the benchmark of racial harmony? Rwanda? as an example.
