Reparations!
I can’t voice this better than Calvin Robinson.
What is so tragic about this speech is the immature response of the young students in the room. Note I don’t say listening to him. They are not listening. They are laughing; mocking; reeling out the cliched memes; repeating the woke misinformation.
Here is a man of West Indian heritage speaking up for the British success in ending colonial slavery and explaining clearly how so-called reparations are unnecessary and could not work equitably.
As he rightly says, the issue should be how do we end modern day slavery, not how do we pay money to people who now actually benefit from having been part of the British Empire.
I for one am very proud of William Wilberforce and the involvement of genuine Christians in putting an end to the slavery of their day.
It gets very confusing when one realises how mixed people’s heritages can be, when who you are is nothing like who you thought you were. An emotional rollercoaster for this lady.
