Should black people in the UK be the ones who apologise for slavery?

After all the percentage of black people's ancesters who directly profited from slavery is much higher than the percentage of white people's ancesters who directly profited from slavery.





Also, black people were enslaving their own people and other's for thousands of years before white people got involved in the trianular trade and black people are still doing it today.





Contrary to popular belief and what is taught in colleges and universities the average black person is far more likly than the average white person to have ancesters who actually indulged in the taking, abusing and buying and selling of slaves.





I say this this because in London, Bristol and Liverpool the three main UK locations where slavery was practised only a small percentage of white people were directly involved in the slave trade. In Africa at that time however, a very large percentage of black people were involved in the slave trade and many of them still are today.





Will you black people now apologise?

Should black people in the UK be the ones who apologise for slavery?
OUTRAGEOUS!!! What the hell do you think you are doing?


You can't come on to a site like this and inform these people of the 'TRUTH' !!! . In this PC head up our a.sses country we are not allowed such privilages. Now you just take it all back and inform these good folks with what they want to hear........


PC bulls.hit.
Reply:I do not believe that you should apologise for something you did not do or were reasonable for.





It is not our fault that our white forefathers were so narrow minded bullies in the old days. :-(





I strongly believe that we all are equal regardless of race, religion, sex and colour.





Why can we not all live in peace %26amp; harmony even now?
Reply:Really apologizing now is stupid, it happened a real long time ago. I'm an american with german decent, should i apologize for the haulocaust? no because I didn't do it, and should people in germany apologize? no because most of the people that did do it are old and died or got punished for it. No one should apologize for slavery, unless they are doing it now in Africa, but talking about in the US or UK, but think of this way slavery overall made america greater, without slavery we wouldn't have so many black people to make the country so diverse. But I think its time to move on, the black peoples ancestors suffered threw slavery for them to be in this great country today, and i think living in the UK and US right now is a whole lot better then living in Africa, so maybe black people should thank whites?
Reply:Hi!





VERY, VERY, VERY good question!





I was just listening to the radio and the topic was brought up how Tony Blair should apologise etc.





All I could think of is HOW many years is this going to go on for???





We've all learned from the past and it won't be allowed to happen again.





ENOUGH SAID!!





MOVE ON!
Reply:you need two hands to clap...equally at fault...but then it is not right to sell your own kind for money. It is selling your family members so you can go on a luxury holiday
Reply:wow, are you ever gonna be unpopular!
Reply:All this nonsense about class action suites and monetary repratition to the living members of former slaves is bull.


The masses should get off their black backsides, get an education and stop moaning about how their ancestors were enslaved and treated.


The white liberals, who march and protest in sympathy for these folk should wake up and get a life.


The average black, who is a direct decendant of slaves, should be thankfull that they do not live in some 3rd world country, possibly starving and being ruled by a despot.


The black masses should apologise for stirring racial hatred, not dealing with the fact that they live in either the UK or USA, both 1st world countries and move forward. Slavery was abolished generations ago.


And yes, the slave trade in Africa is doing well, with black warlords and tribal clans being the main perpatrators.
Reply:Your information is inaccurate.





"the percentage of black people's ancesters who directly profited from slavery is much higher than the percentage of white people's ancesters who directly profited from slavery"





Where did you get that piece of ignorance from?





What are you? A retail manager or something?
Reply:Your question made me think ....... but I suggest that MANKIND ought to apologise ... white, black, coloured ..... all of them .... for simply beholding others as unworthy enough to induct into slavery. I do hope that we can move upward and onward from all of that .... including the very damaging religious fanaticism that seems to the most recent people controlling matter.


Why does mankind never fully learn?
Reply:Will you white people shutup and admit that you treat us like trash?
Reply:do black people think they are the only ones descended from slaves ha vent they heared of the industrial revolution . better i think to address the greed and inequalities of the class system in good old england . and while were at it how about retireing the monarchy and all the hangers on who do very well thank you out of a system to keep them all on the gravy train
Reply:Why is it that the people who always bring slavery up here are white?
Reply:Very good point. Asking today's leaders to apologise for the slave trade 200 years or more ago is akin to asking the directors of Burberry to apolgise for Chavs.
Reply:I don't think anyone should apologise...it was all a long time ago and what good does it do going over and over it. I think we should just be gald its over and get on with the future.
Reply:Stupid bastard.
Reply:after all, you're wrong.





I thought that "British air was free man's air"?
Reply:George Lucas should apologize for "Howard the Duck". Was he on acid? What the ****?!
Reply:Should I put my foot up yo white azz? My answer to that is hell yeah!
Reply:We ALL should apologise. (Why should a greater evil...if such it was....remove a lesser evil)


And we should ALL be fighting against modern day slavery, human trafficking, etc.
Reply:wow i get what you are saying and as my forefathers wer miners and working underground for a pittance wernt the ordinary working classes used as slaves for the masters


we should get a grip and acnowlage that the majority are not responsable for our fathers sins
Reply:You cannot be serious and you are actually breathing air and taking up valuable space on this earth. I do not know where you have found your facts, but I suggest you get in the middle of your town square and supply all the townspeople with cowdung and paint a bullseye right in the middle of your face say around the mouth area...Now one two three People Shoot,,one that lands it right in your yapper gets to try your forehead next.
Reply:You can't state that one group is at fault. It was and is still a global problem with many different countries to blame. Nobody should apologise because they are the same colour as somebody hundreds of years who did something wrong. You are just as much related to them and in some cases more so.
Reply:Shut the fu*k up a*shole. No one should apologise. It's dead, gone, over, kaput..
Reply:Irrespective of colour or creed if you have done wrong to others, you should apologise.





What you are saying is "but he done it more than me" !!.





Take your head out of the sand and give us back the rest of Eire., will YOU apologise to us for all the years of oppression, theft of our land and enslavement.
