What about Britain getting reparations for the white slave trade? We never hear about the working conditions of the British working class in that era, far worse, in any cases, that that of slaves - and the British working class were little more than slaves.
That trade goes back to the Romans, Britons are owed reparations from Italy. Norway owes reparations for the vikings. Where would reparations stop? Every country that was ever part of the British Empire would want reparations. No talk of certain communities within the UK paying reparations for certain activities to do with preying on girls though.
Black unemployment in the UK, let us start with absent fathers first shall we, then crime, and gangs. I may be wrong but isn't for example Somalia on the east coast of Africa where they were not effected by the slave trade?
Reparations for Repatriations . Why should we pay Reparations to black people living in the UK . All the benefits of Education , Health Care , Freedoms and protections of Law that black people have benefited from living in the UK .
All nations that should consider reparations claims if the U.K. is forced to pay. 1. Barbary States (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya) • Owes to: European nations (Italy, Spain, France, the UK, Iceland, Netherlands) and the United States. • Reason: The Barbary States captured and enslaved over a million Europeans (primarily white Christians) between the 16th and 19th centuries through piracy, selling captives into slavery in North Africa. 2. Saudi Arabia • Owes to: East African nations (e.g., Somalia, Ethiopia). • Reason: The Arab slave trade led to the capture and enslavement of millions of East Africans who were sold across the Middle East and North Africa. 3. Oman • Owes to: East African nations (e.g., Zanzibar, Tanzania, Mozambique). • Reason: Oman was heavily involved in the East African slave trade, using Zanzibar as a key trading hub for capturing and enslaving Africans. 4. India • Owes to: Indigenous populations (lower castes) within its own territory. • Reason: Historical systems of bonded labor and servitude exploited lower castes and subjugated populations throughout India’s history. 5. China • Owes to: Tibet, Inner Mongolia, Uyghur Muslims, Taiwan. • Reason: Historical repression and cultural assimilation policies have adversely affected ethnic minorities, leading to calls for reparations or acknowledgment of injustices. 6. Japan • Owes to: Korea, China, Southeast Asian countries. • Reason: During its imperial expansion, Japan committed atrocities, including forced labor and sexual slavery (comfort women) during WWII. 7. Kingdom of Dahomey • Owes to: Descendants of enslaved Africans in the Americas. • Reason: Participated in the capture and sale of Africans into the transatlantic slave trade, contributing to the global slavery network. 8. Kingdom of Ashanti • Owes to: Descendants of enslaved Africans in the Americas. • Reason: Engaged in warfare and the sale of captives into slavery, affecting the transatlantic slave trade. 9. Kingdom of Kongo • Owes to: Descendants of enslaved Africans in the Americas. • Reason: Involved in capturing and selling individuals into slavery during the slave trade era. 10. Mongolia • Owes to: Central Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East. • Reason: The Mongol Empire’s conquests resulted in widespread death, destruction, and slavery across vast regions. 11. Russia • Owes to: Ukraine, Eastern European nations, and Central Asian countries. • Reason: Imperial and Soviet policies included forced deportations, genocides, and repressions that inflicted suffering on various populations. 12. Spain • Owes to: Indigenous populations of Latin America and the Caribbean. • Reason: The Spanish Empire’s conquest and colonization led to significant exploitation, enslavement, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples. 13. Portugal • Owes to: Indigenous populations of Brazil and African nations. • Reason: Portugal’s involvement in the transatlantic slave trade led to the enslavement of millions and severe exploitation of local populations in its colonies. 14. United Kingdom • Owes to: African nations, Caribbean nations, Indigenous Australians, and Indians. • Reason: Britain’s extensive involvement in the transatlantic slave trade and its colonial practices caused significant harm to many nations and peoples. 15. France • Owes to: African nations, Haiti, and other former colonies. • Reason: France’s colonial rule and exploitation, especially in Haiti, caused long-lasting economic and social damage. 16. Belgium • Owes to: Democratic Republic of Congo. • Reason: Belgium’s brutal exploitation and colonization of Congo led to the deaths of millions and extensive human rights abuses. 17. Netherlands • Owes to: Suriname, Indonesia, and the Caribbean. • Reason: The Dutch were involved in the slave trade and colonial exploitation, severely affecting local populations and economies. 18. Germany • Owes to: Namibia (Herero and Namaqua peoples). • Reason: Germany’s colonial rule in Namibia resulted in genocide and extreme exploitation of local populations. 19. Italy • Owes to: Ethiopia, Libya, and Somalia. • Reason: Italy’s colonial endeavors involved significant violence, exploitation, and repression of local populations.
Not to disagree with your excellent post, but I think think the following also needs saying: There has to be an expiry date for grievances. Just as "an eye for an eye" leads to everyone being blind, so a reparations culture will impoverish everyone, except lawyers. What we should do is continue funding overseas aid, and looking for the most effective way in helping countries with low standards of living to improve their economies.
@@tawektawek3838 I completely agree. The UK and Western civilisation as a whole need to fundamentally improve their approach to foreign aid. If our system were truly effective, nations in desperate need wouldn’t be turning to the Global South for solutions and support. Our current model of foreign aid is deeply flawed and morally bankrupt.
@@EdwardThatch-ee7yx I agree that some foreign aid is used more to prop up companies in the giving country, rather than genuinely help those in the receiving country. However, I wouldn't go as far as to say it's morally bankrupt. I've known people working in that field, and I know there are many genuinely trying to make it work. Unfortunately, it's incredibly difficult. The best aid doesn't create dependency, and instead helps people to help themselves. Sadly, too many countries with extreme poverty have such high levels of corruption, and it's too easy for aid to end up diverted by corruption, and only make the gap between rich and poor even worse. Overall, I think the most important help that has been offered to countries with high levels of extreme poverty is removing trade barriers. A huge amount of progress was made from the mid-nineties to the great financial crisis, and extreme poverty fell significantly. Tragically, that progress has ended. In the age of Trump, and at a time of increasing power for autocracies, I am not hopeful this progress will resume.
@@tawektawek3838 Here are ten instances where UK foreign aid was reportedly misused by recipient nations for nefarious or questionable purposes: 1. Ethiopia: In the early 2010s, UK aid reportedly went towards Ethiopia’s controversial “villagisation” programme, which involved forced resettlements of people in the Gambella region. There were reports of abuse, including violence, as people were moved to government-controlled villages against their will. 2. Malawi: In 2013, the “Cashgate” scandal uncovered that funds from international donors, including UK aid, were being siphoned by high-level officials in the Malawian government. The funds were meant for development projects but were diverted for personal enrichment. 3. Rwanda: UK aid to Rwanda faced scrutiny due to concerns that funds were indirectly supporting rebel groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as Rwandan forces were accused of backing rebels involved in violent conflicts in the region. 4. Uganda: In 2012, it emerged that UK aid given to Uganda was embezzled by officials from the Prime Minister’s office. This led to a temporary freeze in aid disbursements as investigations into corruption were conducted. 5. Afghanistan: During the UK’s extensive aid programmes in Afghanistan, corruption became a major issue. Funds were often misappropriated by officials and local power holders, resulting in minimal improvement in infrastructure and services despite significant financial assistance. 6. Zimbabwe: In the 2000s, some UK aid funds intended for health and social programmes were reportedly diverted by the Mugabe government to support party officials and military efforts, especially during times of political repression. 7. Pakistan: UK aid to Pakistan, including funds for education projects, faced criticism due to allegations of mismanagement and corruption. Funds were reportedly used by officials for personal expenses or failed to reach intended schools and institutions. 8. South Sudan: Aid to South Sudan was frequently misused, with government officials accused of embezzling funds meant for relief and development. Reports suggested that aid was used to fuel internal conflict rather than for stabilisation. 9. Somalia: UK funds allocated for rebuilding Somalia were sometimes redirected by regional authorities, and there were reports that portions ended up benefiting militias or groups with ties to organised crime. 10. Sierra Leone: During the Ebola crisis, UK funds and resources intended to fight the epidemic were found to be misused or stolen by officials in the health ministry, leading to shortages in critical areas. These instances demonstrate how the intended purpose of foreign aid was undermined due to corruption, misuse, or indirect involvement in supporting conflict, raising concerns about the effectiveness and oversight of aid distribution.
Surely as a professor and an educated man, he should go back to where his parents came from and lift them out of poverty. No, he stays in England and criticises our great nation.
How's it lazy if he's literally a professor on the subject, what're your credentials? Oh yea you make a dumb and lazy unjustied victim-based comment. Nice one.
@@roryhungrrr lazy thinking, obviously. He uses 200 year history a smokescreen for race-based Marxist thought. This whine for reparations is harmful- it promotes the notion of any perceived injustice done centuries before warrants a lottery win without buying a ticket. Yes, a professor, not of any hard subject, but endless victimology.
Britain handed away the whole of the Caribbean, that was British territory, to the African descent population that were taken there for slavery. Imagine the total value of that. BILLIONS.
What a joke. And it is a massive issue that he has a teaching job. No one is going to drop trillions of pounds for something that happened 3+ generations ago. That historical game has no end.
This so-called academic is utterly delusional when he says that Europeans somehow are culpable for corruption in Africa and the Caribbean. Having lived in Africa for the last 41 years, I humbly submit that he is talking utter nonsense.
Slavery was abolished in 1833. My Father was taken to Germany from his home in Poland in 1939. He was 17 years old and along with many others in Eastern Europe, he was transported to do forced labour, a euphemisn for slavery. As well as that he was forced to take part in medical experiments by the Nazis and had part of his stomach cut away. These events are more recent than the slavery in the colonies. Does that qualify me for reparations?
My great grandmother 3 times removed was working 12 hour days in Shropshire leadmines from the age of 11. If that's not slavery I don't know what is! Where's my reparations?
My grandmother did the seem in a coal mine. I bet her "wages" were poor. I know her living conditions were bad as I have a few photos of where she lived.
@@dub604 So working people have had to pay huge sums of money to compensate the elites Who were involved in the trade. And now you think we should allow the government to use our taxes to pay for this historical grift?? Whilst skinting the country even more?? Because those who’s families built their wealth off it, definitely won’t feel the affects.
I know one black professor of history and he is excellent. However, as his family are from Sri Lanka, I suspect this man wasn't counted by this interviewee (despite his skin tone being a lot blacker).
Well apart from being a crackpot I think Professor Kehinde Andrews must also qualify as the most boring academic to tread the lecture theatre boards! A more dull dry lunch you will not find! But more than this! Professor Andrews students should demand a drop in their fees for such a monotone monologue of chip on your shoulder teachings! TAXI for Professor Andrews
Still waiting for my reparations from Italy for the brutality my ancestors suffered at the hands of the Roman Empire. Let’s sort the reparations out chronologically, only makes sense from a natural justice perspective.
Black people in the Caribbean aren’t from there originally. They are from west Africa so they should return there to get their reparations. The indigenous people who were forced off the islands and into South America should reclaim their islands.
You need to improve your listening skills. He was clearly saying "should" in the sense of moral obligation but acknowledged that it wasn't a realistic possibility.
Africa needs to cough up as well then because lots of their citizens were active participants in the slave trade. The Europeans stayed at the coast while indigenous Africans caught and brought the slaves to the coast.
The demonization of Britain for its role in the transatlantic slave trade, despite its unique and sustained efforts to end slavery, reflects a combination of factors, including its global prominence, the lasting economic inequalities stemming from the slave trade, and the complexity of post-colonial narratives. The negativity toward Britain's colonial role is often magnified by post-independence leaders and ruling elites as a way to deflect blame from their own mismanagement, corruption, and despotism. While Britain’s involvement in the abolition of slavery is well-documented and recognized, its early participation in the slave trade has left a lasting legacy that continues to be a focal point of criticism, especially in the context of reparations. The focus on Britain can also be seen as a deflection by other nations, some of which still have significant issues with modern slavery, or were themselves deeply involved in slavery but now emphasize Britain’s role to avoid accounting for their own histories. Britain's moral leadership in abolition does not absolve it from historical reflection, but the disproportionate criticism it receives overlooks the full global picture of the slave trade and the complex web of actors involved. Mr Andrews is well known for his snarling hatred of Britain & can hardly be seen as a sensible, unbiased actor in this conversation.
Prof at Birmingham City Uni - comedy uni. Having legal qualifications, he should know that tort entails putting you in as close a position to what it would have been, had the event not happened. So when is going back to Angola? While he is there, he can ask the descendants of the African chiefs, who sold prisoners and then their own tribespeople, for the cash.
Slavery was, and still is, abhorrent. That said. As a British Tax Payer who has never been involved in the slavery trade, I dont want to have my taxes paid to someone who has not been enslaved.
Unfortunately up to 2015 your taxes we’re paying for a loan our government took out to pay former Slave owners not the slaves the lost money they would have made.
Guy is a woke clown Like to ask him that do the pepole in Africa who allso become rich from helping with the slave trade allso ha e to pay And wile we are at it can we ask Rome ,vikings and every other powers to pay us I mean did they not allso take our pepole to work as slaves And make no mistake, every black person will have there hand out wanting there share including him And wile he talks of 40%blacks out of work that's there problem as drug gangs stabbings and easy way to make money is by black guys
The first thing he says is wrong. Britain's wealth during the 19th Century came from the Industrial Revolution. The time slavery has been abolished is more than long enough for the West Indies to grow their economies. Other countries have developed to First World status from a standing start in far less time. The problem is not that there are lots of investment opportunities going begging in the West Indies through lack of money. The problem is the lack of entrepreneurial talent.
The irish built a lot of the infrastructure in uk along with working class english. They built a lot of America, Australia and Canada. Look at those countrys. Now look at the citys populated by people like tgis professor in america. Theres a lot that can be studied there
Professor Andrews' comments and his appearance on this channel must be viewed in light of his having been able to secure a faculty position at an academic institution not even in the top 100 of UK academic institutions, and how this appearance and these comments may help to advance his career.
Educated by white taxpayers, employed by white taxpayers, pension from white taxpayers. I want my money back for him and the island he took from us is ours! He forgets that we invented industry and engineering and he invented mud huts!
How much money is generated from the drug trade in the Caribbean. Corruption with the Caribbean area would ensure that "no" reparation monies would reach the ordinary people. This university professor is talking utter garbage.
PERHAPS WE SHOULD AGREE TO REPARATIONS AND THEN WORK OUT HOW MUCH WE HAVE GIVEN IN FOREIGN AID. THEN DEDUCT ONE FIGURE FROM THE OTHER AND SEE HOW MUCH THE WORLD OWES THE UK
The Royal Navy West Africa squadron, between 1830 and 1865, freed some 150,000 Africans from slave ships and 1600 sailors died in the effort, And this character thinks it's a joke? Jeez, words fail me
What about the citizens of those African countries (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Angola and others) - are they going to be asked for "reparations" for selling the slaves in the first place? And if participation in the slave trade is the reason we're better off today than the people of the Caribbean, then why are all those African countries such basket cases? It's time we got honest and straightforward with these race grifters - we're better off because we have been more inventive, more innovative, more diligent, more hard working, more meticulous, and created, invented or discovered everything that made the modern world.
The whole point of British government seems to be to kick the can down the road until they can say things happened so long ago it’s ridiculous to even consider paying compensation to people.
This guys forgetting that people in Africa were involved in the slave trade as well. Not only that one tribe used to attack a neighbour and enslave them! It was the way of the world!

I hereby demand nine gazillion pounds for my ancestors who were eaten by cave lions, jaguars, sabre tooth tigers and bears. Also all war ever and that one time I had a sore botty from eating too many spicy beans....
Yeah this is dumb...
Scottish highlanders are first in the queue after being thrown of their land by the crown & the British ( English)
@@Parker_Douglas They were thrown off their land by the Scottish elites actually, who wanted to farm sheep all over the hills and completely deforested much of the Highlands.
Some people are professors in Grievance Studies and combine their scholarship with lucrative activism.
I want reparations for the serfdom in the UK of our ancestors.
Pay Britain for ending the slave trade and for spending British money and lives to enforce that end.
This guy is much more privileged than me, turning into a professor and whatnot. So can I get reparations too please?
Priviligeds Я Us!
He's technically living off the wealth of slavery that is supposedly still around today
If he truly believed in what he said, he wouldn't benefit from it
professor my arse
If we gave them what they wanted, the money would be gone by teatime and this Turnip would be back for more.
Move to Canada and see how many BILLIONS we give to thenatives and still it is not enough.
Reparations should be paid by those who captured and sold the slaves in the first place.
The institutions and multinational corporations that funded the trade and took advantage of colonialism should pay it.
Hasn't this gentleman benefited from the historical consequences he criticises?
They all despise the west and white people but where do they move? The West.
Yep!
Seriously a professor? I thought they were meant to open, logical and able to see both sides of an argument.
That was in the old days. Now lecturers and school teachers are just political activists
I want compensation from the Vikings and Roman’s .how far are we going back
A race hustler who is 'against exploitation'.
No. We owe nothing.
What about Britain getting reparations for the white slave trade? We never hear about the working conditions of the British working class in that era, far worse, in any cases, that that of slaves - and the British working class were little more than slaves.
That trade goes back to the Romans, Britons are owed reparations from Italy. Norway owes reparations for the vikings. Where would reparations stop? Every country that was ever part of the British Empire would want reparations. No talk of certain communities within the UK paying reparations for certain activities to do with preying on girls though.
40% black youth unemployment? We should force them to work......🤔
It’ll be much higher I don’t believe them
Black unemployment in the UK, let us start with absent fathers first shall we, then crime, and gangs. I may be wrong but isn't for example Somalia on the east coast of Africa where they were not effected by the slave trade?
Reparations for Repatriations . Why should we pay Reparations to black people living in the UK . All the benefits of Education , Health Care , Freedoms and protections of Law that black people have benefited from living in the UK .
All nations that should consider reparations claims if the U.K. is forced to pay.
1. Barbary States (Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Libya)
• Owes to: European nations (Italy, Spain, France, the UK, Iceland, Netherlands) and the United States.

Great Post here. No one can better this not even the nutty professor.
Not to disagree with your excellent post, but I think think the following also needs saying:
There has to be an expiry date for grievances. Just as "an eye for an eye" leads to everyone being blind, so a reparations culture will impoverish everyone, except lawyers.
What we should do is continue funding overseas aid, and looking for the most effective way in helping countries with low standards of living to improve their economies.
@@tawektawek3838 I completely agree. The UK and Western civilisation as a whole need to fundamentally improve their approach to foreign aid. If our system were truly effective, nations in desperate need wouldn’t be turning to the Global South for solutions and support. Our current model of foreign aid is deeply flawed and morally bankrupt.
@@EdwardThatch-ee7yx I agree that some foreign aid is used more to prop up companies in the giving country, rather than genuinely help those in the receiving country.
However, I wouldn't go as far as to say it's morally bankrupt. I've known people working in that field, and I know there are many genuinely trying to make it work. Unfortunately, it's incredibly difficult. The best aid doesn't create dependency, and instead helps people to help themselves. Sadly, too many countries with extreme poverty have such high levels of corruption, and it's too easy for aid to end up diverted by corruption, and only make the gap between rich and poor even worse.
Overall, I think the most important help that has been offered to countries with high levels of extreme poverty is removing trade barriers. A huge amount of progress was made from the mid-nineties to the great financial crisis, and extreme poverty fell significantly. Tragically, that progress has ended. In the age of Trump, and at a time of increasing power for autocracies, I am not hopeful this progress will resume.
@@tawektawek3838 Here are ten instances where UK foreign aid was reportedly misused by recipient nations for nefarious or questionable purposes:
1. Ethiopia: In the early 2010s, UK aid reportedly went towards Ethiopia’s controversial “villagisation” programme, which involved forced resettlements of people in the Gambella region. There were reports of abuse, including violence, as people were moved to government-controlled villages against their will.
2. Malawi: In 2013, the “Cashgate” scandal uncovered that funds from international donors, including UK aid, were being siphoned by high-level officials in the Malawian government. The funds were meant for development projects but were diverted for personal enrichment.
3. Rwanda: UK aid to Rwanda faced scrutiny due to concerns that funds were indirectly supporting rebel groups in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), as Rwandan forces were accused of backing rebels involved in violent conflicts in the region.
4. Uganda: In 2012, it emerged that UK aid given to Uganda was embezzled by officials from the Prime Minister’s office. This led to a temporary freeze in aid disbursements as investigations into corruption were conducted.
5. Afghanistan: During the UK’s extensive aid programmes in Afghanistan, corruption became a major issue. Funds were often misappropriated by officials and local power holders, resulting in minimal improvement in infrastructure and services despite significant financial assistance.
6. Zimbabwe: In the 2000s, some UK aid funds intended for health and social programmes were reportedly diverted by the Mugabe government to support party officials and military efforts, especially during times of political repression.
7. Pakistan: UK aid to Pakistan, including funds for education projects, faced criticism due to allegations of mismanagement and corruption. Funds were reportedly used by officials for personal expenses or failed to reach intended schools and institutions.
8. South Sudan: Aid to South Sudan was frequently misused, with government officials accused of embezzling funds meant for relief and development. Reports suggested that aid was used to fuel internal conflict rather than for stabilisation.
9. Somalia: UK funds allocated for rebuilding Somalia were sometimes redirected by regional authorities, and there were reports that portions ended up benefiting militias or groups with ties to organised crime.
10. Sierra Leone: During the Ebola crisis, UK funds and resources intended to fight the epidemic were found to be misused or stolen by officials in the health ministry, leading to shortages in critical areas.
These instances demonstrate how the intended purpose of foreign aid was undermined due to corruption, misuse, or indirect involvement in supporting conflict, raising concerns about the effectiveness and oversight of aid distribution.
The Proceeds of Crime Act 🤣🤣🤣 oh Kehinde Andrews. Why does anyone pay this guy for anything?
I’ve seen this guest on many occasions. He takes any chance he gets to flex the chip on his shoulder. All with a patronising sneer. Lovely man
Surely as a professor and an educated man, he should go back to where his parents came from and lift them out of poverty. No, he stays in England and criticises our great nation.
Lazy unjustified victimhood.
How's it lazy if he's literally a professor on the subject, what're your credentials? Oh yea you make a dumb and lazy unjustied victim-based comment. Nice one.
@@roryhungrrr lazy thinking, obviously. He uses 200 year history a smokescreen for race-based Marxist thought. This whine for reparations is harmful- it promotes the notion of any perceived injustice done centuries before warrants a lottery win without buying a ticket. Yes, a professor, not of any hard subject, but endless victimology.
Britain handed away the whole of the Caribbean, that was British territory, to the African descent population that were taken there for slavery. Imagine the total value of that. BILLIONS.
This guy is counter productive. Reminds me of Akala, another bloke who had joined up the dots and come up with the wrong shape
What a nut !! Regards from Portugal
"The amount of money we are talking about would probably seriously damage the West..."
Indeed. And that is the *real* goal, isn't it....
Does he realise to pay for these reparations, black people in the UK would have crippling tax bills?
He can smell the money
Professor of race grifting at Birmingham University.
The grift is strong with this one...
What a joke.
And it is a massive issue that he has a teaching job.
No one is going to drop trillions of pounds for something that happened 3+ generations ago. That historical game has no end.
yeash what about the Romans who captured and took my great great great great great great great great great greatfather as a slave lmao
@@mikejones-tf6zo Imagine so many generations of owed labor with interest adjusted for inflation. . . lol
"i'm against exploitation "...........but i want trillions in reparation?
£3,000,000,000,000 - £14,000,000,000,000. Printing that money would devalue the pound so much you could buy a loaf of bread for less than a million
This so-called academic is utterly delusional when he says that Europeans somehow are culpable for corruption in Africa and the Caribbean. Having lived in Africa for the last 41 years, I humbly submit that he is talking utter nonsense.
Slavery was abolished in 1833. My Father was taken to Germany from his home in Poland in 1939. He was 17 years old and along with many others in Eastern Europe, he was transported to do forced labour, a euphemisn for slavery. As well as that he was forced to take part in medical experiments by the Nazis and had part of his stomach cut away. These events are more recent than the slavery in the colonies. Does that qualify me for reparations?
Wow it’s a black James O’Brien, the white James O’Brien will be so jealous
My great grandmother 3 times removed was working 12 hour days in Shropshire leadmines from the age of 11. If that's not slavery I don't know what is! Where's my reparations?
My grandmother did the seem in a coal mine. I bet her "wages" were poor. I know her living conditions were bad as I have a few photos of where she lived.
Why should we pay for the mistake our great-grandfathers made? This is preposterous.
Because our Governments been hijacked by Gewz , Who were responsible for the SLve Trade ,, ps - they Hate Europeans & Christianity is Why
Indentured servitude (slavery 2.0) lasted well into the 20th Century. Forced labour helped to build modern Britain, simple as that.
@@dub604 So working people have had to pay huge sums of money to compensate the elites Who were involved in the trade. And now you think we should allow the government to use our taxes to pay for this historical grift?? Whilst skinting the country even more?? Because those who’s families built their wealth off it, definitely won’t feel the affects.
@@dub604 Pretty sure poor white people were involved in that too.
@@dub604 What nonsense
If those who support reparations are serious, they need to convince this guy to never speak in public again.
Only 3 black proffesors? I really hope the other 2 are worth the title.
I know one black professor of history and he is excellent.
However, as his family are from Sri Lanka, I suspect this man wasn't counted by this interviewee (despite his skin tone being a lot blacker).
Well apart from being a crackpot I think Professor Kehinde Andrews must also qualify as the most boring academic to tread the lecture theatre boards! A more dull dry lunch you will not find! But more than this! Professor Andrews students should demand a drop in their fees for such a monotone monologue of chip on your shoulder teachings! TAXI for Professor Andrews
Still waiting for my reparations from Italy for the brutality my ancestors suffered at the hands of the Roman Empire.
Let’s sort the reparations out chronologically, only makes sense from a natural justice perspective.
I'd pay it to get rid of Mr Andrews.
Black people in the Caribbean aren’t from there originally. They are from west Africa so they should return there to get their reparations.
The indigenous people who were forced off the islands and into South America should reclaim their islands.
This guy a racial grifter.
A university professor believes the country should double ot triple it's debt to send money overseas.The education system is now dangerous.
Needs education from Thomas Sowell...
You need to improve your listening skills. He was clearly saying "should" in the sense of moral obligation but acknowledged that it wasn't a realistic possibility.
Morality is for losers
Africa needs to cough up as well then because lots of their citizens were active participants in the slave trade. The Europeans stayed at the coast while indigenous Africans caught and brought the slaves to the coast.
hmmmm how much does the uk pay in international aid lol
The demonization of Britain for its role in the transatlantic slave trade, despite its unique and sustained efforts to end slavery, reflects a combination of factors, including its global prominence, the lasting economic inequalities stemming from the slave trade, and the complexity of post-colonial narratives. The negativity toward Britain's colonial role is often magnified by post-independence leaders and ruling elites as a way to deflect blame from their own mismanagement, corruption, and despotism.
While Britain’s involvement in the abolition of slavery is well-documented and recognized, its early participation in the slave trade has left a lasting legacy that continues to be a focal point of criticism, especially in the context of reparations.
The focus on Britain can also be seen as a deflection by other nations, some of which still have significant issues with modern slavery, or were themselves deeply involved in slavery but now emphasize Britain’s role to avoid accounting for their own histories. Britain's moral leadership in abolition does not absolve it from historical reflection, but the disproportionate criticism it receives overlooks the full global picture of the slave trade and the complex web of actors involved.
Mr Andrews is well known for his snarling hatred of Britain & can hardly be seen as a sensible, unbiased actor in this conversation.
Every country could make claims against other countries all over the world 🌎
If reparations were paid, future generations would consider themselves equally entitled to reparations. There's no end.
Prof at Birmingham City Uni - comedy uni. Having legal qualifications, he should know that tort entails putting you in as close a position to what it would have been, had the event not happened. So when is going back to Angola? While he is there, he can ask the descendants of the African chiefs, who sold prisoners and then their own tribespeople, for the cash.
What a clown
He should go back and sort out his own country
It's just an underhand attempt at a money grab.
Slavery was, and still is, abhorrent.
That said. As a British Tax Payer who has never been involved in the slavery trade, I dont want to have my taxes paid to someone who has not been enslaved.
Unfortunately up to 2015 your taxes we’re paying for a loan our government took out to pay former Slave owners not the slaves the lost money they would have made.
Immigration is causing me poverty. Will I get mass immigration reparations. Who will pay that? The EU?
He talks some shite...!! Charlitian....!!
Guy is a woke clown
Like to ask him that do the pepole in Africa who allso become rich from helping with the slave trade allso ha e to pay
And wile we are at it can we ask Rome ,vikings and every other powers to pay us
I mean did they not allso take our pepole to work as slaves
And make no mistake, every black person will have there hand out wanting there share including him
And wile he talks of 40%blacks out of work that's there problem as drug gangs stabbings and easy way to make money is by black guys
The first thing he says is wrong. Britain's wealth during the 19th Century came from the Industrial Revolution. The time slavery has been abolished is more than long enough for the West Indies to grow their economies. Other countries have developed to First World status from a standing start in far less time. The problem is not that there are lots of investment opportunities going begging in the West Indies through lack of money. The problem is the lack of entrepreneurial talent.
you mean corruption
Great points Andrew!
Let’s talk about the corruption in many African and commonwealth countries !!!!!!
Maybe the Irish should seek reparations??.... 'The Sins of the Father'.
The irish built a lot of the infrastructure in uk along with working class english. They built a lot of America, Australia and Canada. Look at those countrys. Now look at the citys populated by people like tgis professor in america. Theres a lot that can be studied there
The irish worked, rarely put there hands out begging. Like a certain country in the southern hemisphere!!
Strange Man
"Britain got rich from slavery."
"Britain freed slaves to get richer."
Make up your mind.
Professor Andrews' comments and his appearance on this channel must be viewed in light of his having been able to secure a faculty position at an academic institution not even in the top 100 of UK academic institutions, and how this appearance and these comments may help to advance his career.
Educated by white taxpayers, employed by white taxpayers, pension from white taxpayers.
I want my money back for him and the island he took from us is ours!
He forgets that we invented industry and engineering and he invented mud huts!
How much money is generated from the drug trade in the Caribbean. Corruption with the Caribbean area would ensure that "no" reparation monies would reach the ordinary people. This university professor is talking utter garbage.
Black Studies at a former poly. What a bloody joke he is. He shouldn't be infecting our kids with his rubbish.
If so much wealth was created under British rule. Why haven't they created the same wealth under Jamaican rule?
PERHAPS WE SHOULD AGREE TO REPARATIONS AND THEN WORK OUT HOW MUCH WE HAVE GIVEN IN FOREIGN AID. THEN DEDUCT ONE FIGURE FROM THE OTHER AND SEE HOW MUCH THE WORLD OWES THE UK
A pure grift. That man should be in jail. The fact that people like him are tolerated is beyond me.
There's a lot of white poor people in this country without other sections of society wanting to grab loads of money.
The Royal Navy West Africa squadron, between 1830 and 1865, freed some 150,000 Africans from slave ships and 1600 sailors died in the effort, And this character thinks it's a joke? Jeez, words fail me
No reparations dealt with 200 years ago
What about the citizens of those African countries (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Angola and others) - are they going to be asked for "reparations" for selling the slaves in the first place? And if participation in the slave trade is the reason we're better off today than the people of the Caribbean, then why are all those African countries such basket cases? It's time we got honest and straightforward with these race grifters - we're better off because we have been more inventive, more innovative, more diligent, more hard working, more meticulous, and created, invented or discovered everything that made the modern world.
Why do we take these grifters seriously.
The whole point of British government seems to be to kick the can down the road until they can say things happened so long ago it’s ridiculous to even consider paying compensation to people.
This guys forgetting that people in Africa were involved in the slave trade as well. Not only that one tribe used to attack a neighbour and enslave them! It was the way of the world!
Can we offset the provision of Western technology and industrial development against the cost? The world is a much richer place because of it.
How about the English asking for reparations from Italy
