'Most of us are tired of it': Douglas Murray slams 'sick' calls for slavery reparations

- Author Douglas Murray has slammed people who engage in a kind of "grievance competition" and cry about the "hurt" they've suffered as a result of slavery centuries ago.
"All history has consequences and ramifications ... if we were to play this fairly we would at least look at all of the countries around the world that engaged in a slave trade who are simply not interested in any form of reparations," Mr Murray told Sky News Australia's Piers Morgan.
Mr Murray claimed slavery persists in Africa today and that there are more slaves globally than during the height of the transatlantic slave trade.
"So some of us are simply a bit bored of hearing people ripping at closed wounds and then crying about their hurt, or presumed hurt," he said.
"Nobody is alive who has actually suffered the hurt and nobody is alive who did the wrong."
He added it's always the "more virtuous" countries, such as the United Kingdom and United States, that are presented as "the worst countries" over this issue.
"It's sick and most of us are tired of it."
She is extremely manipulative. Never apologise for something you have not done. You are accountable for your own actions and nobody else.
and at the time that slavery was practiced by Europeans, it was practiced by everyone else and was permitted by everyone. Actually it was in Europe and the Europeans that stopped slavery in the first place. In Mauritania, e.g., it was still possible to legally own a slave until 1979.
what a load of tosh
@@goncalomeneses5611there are actually more slaves today than there has ever been in history but nobody likes to mention it.
To be consistent, she should ask that every African Government from Senegal to Angola should apologise for the role that their antecedents played in the trans Atlantic slave trade. But she won't.

Is it absurd for people who never owned slaves to pay compensation to slave owners?

It exists everywhere, western countries included and it pisses me off that people think it was ever stopped
As a British man of Caribbean origin, Douglas is absolutely right. Reparations for what exactly? Slavery has been a part of history for thousands and thousands of years. The sins of the father are NOT the sins of the son.
As an Indian i think European countries should not apologize what they did 100-200 years back
Remember, it was the same people whose ignorance ignited a fire storm which became WW2. Also, the dividing of the subcontinent. Both of these issues was not 100 years ago.
Isn't it strange that these activists try to destroy books, statues and famous names that remind us all of our past but then continue to bring up slavery/racism as a tool to try and blackmail Countries / white people for money over past aggressions that neither race lived through .

Douglas Murray speaks so much sense. Said it perfectly.
Mad respect
He’s right though. The whole world was involved in the slave trade. Why is it only one country that’s being held accountable? Not to mention it’s a bit late to say sorry to the people that actually needed to hear it.
@@cu6upckuu48I think you got that wrong. Better in the sense that free societies that people wants to go to, where there’s freedom of speech and rule of law and less discrimination and longer life expectancy and higher standard of living etc, the list is endless.

Otherwise people wouldn’t want to go there.
So he’s just stating a fact. That the best societies do get attacked the most by these selective idiots with a very poor understanding of history.
@@cu6upckuu48The truth hurts , doesn't it ?
A lot of people thought Hitler made sense too
As a Nigerian man living in Nigeria but keenly attentive to events around the globe, I am deeply appalled at some of the madness I hear my fellow Africans regurgitate on international media on matters like slavery and reparation, colonialism and migration. From my perspective, I don't even think any African with a shred of pride in him or herself should be running off to Europe to escape the disgustingly hard living conditions in Africa. Yes, there is wholesale misgovernance, there is corruption and decay everywhere one looks, but remember, we hurled the same Europeans out of our shores claiming we were adults enough to manage our own affairs and govern ourselves. It didnt take long for everyone to see all of that was BS. But now guess where "our tired, our poor, and our huddled masses" troop to: it is to the same Europe that we thumbed our noses at not more than a half a century ago. I have told as many as would care to hear me that we Africans are mighty lucky I'm not European else I would've driven every last man-jack migrant back with the helpful advice to go back to their god-given land and to run their affairs there. The fact that the white man in trying to make amends (though I wonder what for) has flung open his doors, is no justification to subject him to such discomfort in his own god-given land. We all know what would've happened to any migrant doing the same any other place in the world. Our arrogance and temerity when we should be meek and compliant in another man's land is what kills me. And I must repeat that every black African migrant in Europe is mighty lucky I'm not European else they would've learnt a lesson in manners by now.
Well said.
Whites are on a path to non-existent, brought to you by Jews
I'm a Nigerian too and I agreed in totallity to every single Alphabet you brought together to frame the comment.
It can never be said better!
It stems from BLM in the US, a lot western countries are influenced culturally by the US so we end up transporting their tribal issues to our countries. The Uk is far more diverse and possibly too accepting and its created a rod for our own backs. You give people an inch and they will take a mile and massage themselves in Victim culture
Absolutely well said sir.
Douglas Murray brilliantly expressing what every civilized European is thinking.
@DouglasMurray is not brilliant. You’ve been fooled by his fake Etonian accent. He is completely ignorant about payments still being made to European countries for ending slavery. Do your research.
If I tried for weeks, I could not sum it up as well as he has just done. Honestly, this is hit on so many notes for me and is exactly what needs to be said and heard by everyone.
Douglas is absolute right!
😂😂😂 you got more chance of getting blood from a stone then getting him to buy a round.
There are many individuals, organisations and institutions that benefit financially this very day from the profits and investments made during the slave trade. Those investments and purchases like landed estates still exist, they didn't disappear the day slavery was abolished! The Church of England is one example. The Banks are another. The Royals and extended family are a third example. Universities, a forth.
@@ohdearismYou talk absolute nonsense 🤷🏻♂️🤡🤣
Still….I guess it fits your narrative, yes?
Douglas is always right. Should be PM
@@ohdearism If that reasoning would be effective then no one on earth would resist or endure to such type of analysis. Including in African societies, in which slavery and other issues that nowadays people regard them as evil existed prior to any involvement of Europeans in the continent. The point is that one is not responsible for past events. No one blames the current Germans for what happened during WWII e rightly so. People move one, including because in the end, we all are sinners and have skeletons in the closet. Everyone. And not has the right to pass that kind of judgments over others, including judgement on past generations, considering themselves as better than those past generations, completely ignoring the circumstances and context of their life. If you act like, one day, in the future, your descendants will judge you in the same manner, as make not mistake, often live is surprising and perhaps many of today´s individual that are so keen to pass judgment on the past generations and past events, perhaps they will get a real surprise how their one choices and behaviors will be judged in the future. It is called hubris.
They don't want justice, they want money.
Always do. Race grifting is a profession.
And once they get it they will want more or something else. This will set a dangerous precedent if they cave to it.

There was also a white slave trade by the wealthy Africans who came to Europe to take back caucasian slaves hundred of years ago, not many people know this.
There were many black people, enslaving other black people in the past, as Murray pointed out. Since she is a middle-class British black woman, there's a better than even chance that her ancestors were among those, and she has benefited directly from it.
Pay the decendents of Sir Issac Newton, a Britisher, who ended slavery by discovering the laws of physics and ushering in the industrial age to build machines that spared humans from hard labor.
Hebrews should be first in line for reparations , because of Egypt(blacks). Moors(black) slave traders ,captured and sold blacks into slavery. Usa was the first to abolish it , and most of the world followed. That lady is probably using a phone made by slave-labor in an Asian country,,,,

She had no other option tbh, her argument was owned and had no comeback.
It’s because people like her don’t like hearing that facts are not feeling and hurt feelings do not change facts. The fact remains whether she likes it or not slavery is not a white phenomenon nobody ancestors regardless of skin color stand guiltless or victimless. The word slave actually comes from the slavs, who inhabited a large part of Eastern Europe who were all white were taken as slaves by the Muslims of Spain during the ninth century AD right now in Africa there still slave owners who are infiltrating the pain of slavery on people and the slave owners.
I’m black and everything the man said is true. Human beings are evil every where including Africa
Douglas, you hit the nail right on the head! For goodness sake look at what our ancestors did to the Native Americans. Living on a reservation isn't FREEDOM. They had no choice. They are living with this in real time. Everyday.

Why should anyone apologize for something they weren't a part of and to those who never experienced it. It's insane and flat-out ridiculous!
Because British tax payers only ended paying the loan the British government took to compensate the slave owners in 2015.
we need to apologize for something that happened before we were born to people who were not alive at the peak of the problem who use this is as a means to generate an income, people are building careers on the back of this narrative. if the UK and USA, etc are so bad, so dangerous and inclined to slavery why then are we allowing these people to speak? why are they so emboldened that they feel they can make these accusations and have these conversations and expect to be treated with respect and in many cases demand reverence. surely they should be in fear of speaking out. it is not just boring, it is a bare faced lie.

Absolutely right. It is the last refuge of the "no-hoper". Better and more efficient to change cultures that don't expect effort from the next generation or make decisions that trend toward success, than to celebrate lawlessness and stupidity and continuously reduce the effectiveness of police powers to combat crime through selective reporting and bias from complicit multi national corporate media that want to protect the funnelling of cheap labour into the west to continuously depress wages. As a life long high tax-payer in my country, I really think that this concept of society being open to those who quite obviously don't want to be a functioning contributor is outdated. Fling the openly hateful, openly free-loading dead-wood into the wilderness where they can steal and kill each other without bothering me while I'm busy trying to provide for my wife and kids and instil in my children a work ethic and the ability to make good decisions out of the options available.

Douglas Murray hit the nail on the head, and I'm pretty sure many people in Britain would agree with him. Will Paula be looking for an apology from the African countries that sold her people into slavery? Will Paula also be looking for reparations from those same African countries? I very much doubt it, because she knows full well that she would be wasting her time and it would be far easier in shaming Britain into paying up. I don't see why people who have never owned slaves should pay reparations to people who have never been slaves.

She knows he's right and she has no argument, "justice" is for people who have actually suffered.

How would you know? She wasn't given an opportunity to speak. She was shouted down. The Black woman. The two white men were given all of the air time.
@@jazzmack7647 She spoke there & has spoken many times before - she's got NOTHING to respond with - just a whine that she's "oppressed"...she will never give up these ridiculous claims because she's PAID to defend them.
@@jazzmack7647 Opportunity? She twisted Murray's words in her very opening statement. Not a shred of logic bur lying outright about what he said. 😄 . Talk about a wasted opportunity. That's on her.
Exactly, Those Palestinians claiming to be victims of a Zionist invasion of their land as a direct result of Colonialisim!

Palestinians are just playing victim! Israel never killed any children, never invaded Lebanon and never ethnically cleansed Palestinians and Lebanese.

As a Asian bloke who’s ancestors suffered under the empire , Douglas is bang on !!
Forced Apologies for someone else’s crimes is a crime itself
No one does it better than Douglas! A great intellect plus a great knowledge of history.
why dont this turdy bitch eff off to another country .....is she getting wealthy on my tv licence

And captain of the debating society at Uni, no doubt.😁
Spot on Douglas. I want reparations for how I was treated at school by the teachers who bullied me and prevented me from getting the grades I wanted and making me suffer by significantly impacting my life. I want £2 million from them. Where does this end? Douglas spoke with such finesse. Amazing.
I want reparations for all the years of bullying in primary and secondary school and the workforce I suffered for being Neurodiverse
@@Dancestar1981 Hhah. Exactly
@@Dancestar1981Same here.
I want compensation from the native Australian guy who stole my t shirt during gym class in 1985 - I knew it was mine because it didn't fit him the next time i saw it on him.
It’s an inherent problem with this race. Seems no matter where you go, they are always so miserable. Honestly if they hate where they live so much be it America, UK, Australia etc then why don’t they all just go back to Africa?
What many fail to recognize is that the Woke engage every conversation in bad faith. They have no problem with pretending to be in emotional distress in order to win an argument. We must always remember this and respond to their theatre-kid performances with mockery and condescension rather than genuine concern.
Love this Douglas Murray; he is so smart and spot on.
We need more murrays speaking the truth !
I think the lady can appologise to the british people for allowing her family to come over here and then her ingratitude of the life she now has and calling us racists. I dont need to change or appologise to anyone.
Well said 💯
What LADY?
But you ARE racists, your history of trying to colonize half the world until just a few decades ago proves it.
Douglas Murray speaks for all of us who value the truth and commonsense..!
I can't be held responsible for something I didn't do, nor do I expect others to be.
Brilliant Douglas Murray.
The problem is that people seek empowerment by being the victims, or being "offended" instead of by their own merit. I suppose it's less work that way.
Actually, it IS probably harder! It takes a LOT of energy to maintain that false 'rage', day in, day out!
The victim card seems to trump all others...for now. But I sense old whitey's starting to get fed up with this crap.
The problem is BAD government that even listens to this crap!
yea because Australia/Australians have everything off of their own merit
right 🙄
the delusion is real
Comes with that race sadly. They haven’t accomplished or invented anything of note and never will. I wish we could just be done with them altogether. Our countries would certainly benefit
As a white Englishman I would like apologies from the Vikings and the Roman Empire please
Maybe Africa should also pay since they sold their own kin to the rest of the world. Oh wait that would be basically also blaming themselves.
Why the hell should we apologise for something we weren't guilty of?!
because we're hopeless pu****s???!!
ffs people, how about standing your ground?!
we have NOTHING to be ashamed of. history is brutal. life is brutal. and the world is NOT your mom.
We shouldn't and we won't.
Well there is one argument that you’re living the lifestyle you are today on foot of previous slavery, invasion and theft of land etc. England wouldn’t be what it is today without it. That said, I think it’s wrong that the focus is always on the same countries when others did it too.
Would people that identify as Democrats ever apologize for their kind enslaving people to keep their southern plantations running?😢
@@BASSER81 How far should we go back in time back? You could also say that we are living the lifestyle we are living today because large meteors hit the planet.
As a Canadian I'm tired of it. Every year on CANADA day (July 1st) for the past ten years there are calls to "cancel" it. Because you know, we're horrible people. Things done hundreds of years ago by people not even related to me were horrible and yeah that sucks. Instead of celebrations I guess we should all cry and hate ourselves... I'm tired of it too. Its disgusting
I’m sick of the shit they’re pulling in Australia
I am sick of being told Britain is shitty. I am proud of my country (mostly)! Sending admiration and respect to my Canadian and Australian cousins 👋
By their standards, all countries should cancel all national celebrations since all were formed by war, genocide, and colonization. Things could be worse. I’m also Canadian, and my family is from Portugal. If one views Portuguese history, before Portugal became a country, there were indigenous people living there (the Celtic people and the Iberian people) who were essentially obliterated by Roman and Moorish invasions. The Iberian language and culture is gone. Much like the decimation of ancient Egyptian people and their culture and language (which would have been completely lost if not for the discovery of the Rosetta Stone). Those cultures weren’t given reservations or a chance to keep their traditions anything. I’m not minimizing the loss for the indigenous people of Canada, especially with the residential schools scandal, but the history of humanity is filled with these stories, except that in most nations, the indigenous were just wiped out and/or assimilated.
@@doggieclaudeit is shite though, not because of its past but because of its present
@@73cidaliabro the natives in Canada where the cucks, they seen a superior force to kill thier enemies and bent over for it. They deserve nothing, but Canada coddled them, fuqqem
I'm white, I'm not racist, and I'm proud to be British. Nice to see an articulate and well dressed black lady whinge about the country where she lives, which has presumably educated her and enabled her to be regarded as worthy of airtime.
Maybe a sabbatical in one of the many African democracies would be instructive and educational for her.
Maybe it would broaden her horizons, so to speak.
Not 1+ million europeans over decades, but over centuries, and it was like 2700 years ago.
I literally just nodded all the way through Douglas's speech...spot on
Me too.
If I was black and not doing very well, I'd be grifting on it too.
Most of the ones that start this crap are not even black!
What's your excuse if theirs is genetic?
He’s doing great 👍
@@usnen I fell off my potty when I was a baby.

douglas murray is one of the best talkers i’ve seen on peirs morgan, says it how it is and speaks calmly doesn’t try to attack people, just says it how it is and does it good
Maybe if Paula's ancestors had have been technologicaly smarter they would have not ended up as slaves.
Never participate in a ritual of humiliation
You can only apologise for what you’ve done in your lifetime, not a time we didn’t live in.
💯Agree, I’m sick and tired of the Paula’s of this world
@@janbrown9195because your kids are not being shot down in the streets for no reason, your continent you should call home has not been pillaged to make someone else's rich. The only after effect of slavery you have witnessed is the spoils of it. We are meant to forget what happened and just move on, let you guys whitewash history again make it look like it's just normsl because that's just what everyone was doing. Imagine if a Catholic priest felt up your child and when you went to complain to the Pope he says, well it was a long time ago, all the priests where doing it so you should just suck it up and move on. Are we still not getting enquiries and apologies for Hillsborough disasters, the head of the police force then wouldn't be the same guy as now would he? Institutions and nations have to be held accountable when they carry out such hineous acts. I guess you think the Jews should move on aswell because Hitler is dead now and it was a different time we didn't live in?
But then we shouldn't benefit from that time period either.
@@Noblility - Explain how 'we' are benefiting from that today. And explain why only white people should not benefit from it as everyone who lives in the UK profits from its history just like inhabitants from every country in the whole world profit form their respective histories.
British looted our country India for 300 years. I don't want people who are living in England right now to appolize for it beacuse they are not there and I was not there stop with virtue signalling it is disingenuous.
Listening to Douglas Murray is like a cool drink of water on a hot day.
Typical that they don’t let the POC speak. Wonder why that is ? 🤦🏾♀️
Douglas: Delivers crushing assessment.
Paula: So what you’re saying is…..
We’ve been down this road before, we’re wise to your tricks.
They just use that phrase as an excuse to completely change what was actually said 😮💨
It's because we have a great social system. Paula, apologising makes no difference because these people want money and power, full stop.
All of that without giving a ... on the people that built the Europeans countries where they have decided to live and have beneficiated from the generosirty, openess and solidariety of said countries and peoples.
The reason the apology is so important, it creates leverage and power. These people don't know how to gain power by earning it, adding value to others or making a contribution to society.
Affirmative action, reparations, handouts, apologies,... They want everyone else to make their way for them instead of earning it for themselves. You're guilty, you owe me, you're oppressing me, it's "systemic", it's in the air, I want, I need, gimme gimme gimme.
It's time this group of people to grow the up and join the adults of the world.
All I have to say is that Douglas Murray is legendary
It's like the old saying, "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, TEACH a man to fish, and he'll never be hungry." We need to ask ourselves why is it that so many black Americans are struggling, then we need to address those issues specifically.
This is peak performance Douglas. Brilliant.
Every one of us on the planet are here, each and everyone of us, because of the past, if the past had never happened, none of our bloodlines would exist.
Yes. I've commented similar before. We have to thank wars etc for our very existence.
Douglas speech was just perfect: historically accurate, respectful and fair.
The lady trying very hard to be offended, with her condescending tone, is actually disrespecting her ancestors.
What people who lived their entire lives as slaves, suffering more than we could possibly imagine, would think of a spoiled woman with a privileged live, using their pain to complain about a country they help to build and never got to enjoy?
If you are literate, free (not a slave), and have one pair of shoes, you are in the 5% most privileged class in all of human history.
Trying to extort money from the government is a federal crime! Give them the maximum term of imprisonment.
It's a gift like they al have been. See BLM.
😊😊😊😊😊 2:59 pp 3:21 3:21 3:22 😊😊
Oh, if we did that we would have to lock up half of the country! Public schools teachers around the country do it almost yearly. Senior citizens on Socialist Security? "We will have to eat cat food if you don't give us more cash" sure sounds like extortion to me.
LOL
I'll pay reparations when they show me their lash and shackle scars, trying to leech off those who did actually suffer is the most disgusting and shallow thing imaginable.
Think you will find that those subject to slavery have died. They would be 170 at least
Uh, what about the hundreds of thousands still alive today day that lived under Jim Crow? You're nothing but an arrogant clown who probably thinks we're in an equal society. Get a clue.
@user-SubvurzIV No they're demanding, ask implies civility
@@Amathusukx slavery was wrong but time to move on
@@user-SubvurzIV Slavery was very wrong but time to move on
No one should apologize for something they did not do. This woman talks about apologizing, that it's a good thing. NO, it is not a good thing to apologize for things done in the past by someone else...really! This comes down to control and playing the victim so they somehow can get something for nothing. I don't appreciate people like her who put words in other people's mouths. Shame on her and her attitude.
That lady is the ultimate victim. Douglas utterly destroyed her entire argument.
If this is the case then is Africa going to chip in for selling those slaves 🤔
Like he said, slavery still goes on in Africa. But people like her would never talk about that…
Because shes a racist.
And she owns a phone that was manufactured by Chinese slaves using minerals mined by African slaves
Of course she wouldn’t because that would fly in the face of her victimhood status. Getting a dopamine rush out of being a false victim is the chief form of racism practiced by people of color on this planet. I’m still trying to figure out how Black people reconcile the claim that they are our equals, with the claim that they are subject to every oppressive whim perpetrated by the evil white scourge.
How is that relevant tho??
@@aliciafletcher9739because the topic and debate is about slavery? Lol
Yeah I live in the UK and I want some money for when my country was invaded by the Normans, the Romans and the vikings. I also want someone to apologise to me. Like a king or something.
The real motive here is we want to get paid.
