They deserve it.

They wont see a penny of it.

If they really want to punish these Nations they should go the way of the Arabs. Terrorist attacks make whites panic and take away the rights of their own citizens. Dont just kill them. Make them do like what this country is doing and kill themselves from the inside. SLOWLY.

THe biggest threat to freedom in the US since the 80s has been the United States government itself. These niggas aint seeing a penny of reparations. So go for the next best thing.
 
Well my family is from St.Croix so I wonder how that would work if you ancestors were from the Caribbean but you live in the United States hmmmm.

I don't think they should be getting reparations but rather investments to improve economic sustainability. There should be accountability checks and performance measurement to ensure that the money is actually going to the people for the right things. Not into wealthy people's pockets.
 
Two of my close relatives have done work in the Caribbean assisting with schools and utilities, they reported a lot of corruption and cronyism. Money comes in to do work and then just evaporates. Projects never get done and nothing improves.

Sux but that's the way it is for too many people there.

This article echoes what they saw.

It is most unfortunate, but a number of Caribbean countries have been stained by corruption that has not gone unchecked in the international community.

Drug trafficking, money laundering, human trafficking, police killings, facilitating tax evasion, bribery of politicians, human rights abuses of every kind, corruption in governance, and lack of transparency in public procurement are but a few of the ills affecting the region.

Just as unfortunate is the fact that some politicians regard holding political office as an opportunity to enrich themselves, their family, friends and the corporate donors to whom they are beholden. Their motto is 'ask not what you can do for your country, but what your country can do for you'.

Dog its the same thing really. That war fucked us over financially. Made whites reelect Bush a second time. Which in turn caused a financial collapse.

All because some Arabs knocked down a building and killed some white people lol
 
Slavery was brutal. According to the Christian black Codes they use to cut people's ear off for not performing well.

From someone that lives in the Caribbean, this is very very true
 
And fcuk a Reparations. This is lazy and corrupt politicians making excuses and looking for a bailout after years of corruption and mismanagement. We used to be prosperous once, but they done fcuked around and spent more than they earned and now looking for free money, which will never benefit the people its meant for.

I was never in favour of reparations. I believe in earning what's due to you, not looking for a handout.
 
Biggest problem I see is this money is given to a government/political organization to figure out who in the country receives what. Keep the poor poor and trickle just enough reparations to them. They most likely have issues with balancing and budgeting, as would be expected of anyone in their situation so the money goes straight into the economy (generally a good thing). Except it just feeds back into the government and politicians hands. That's my feeling and take.
 
As much as I sympathize with this, as my parents are from the Caribbean, these nations won't get a dime in reparations. Remember, Africans were involved in the slave trade as well so European nations will be like, why do we have to pay everything? If African nations pay some reparations as well, then Europeans may go along with this.

Unlike niggas in America, these niggas have their own countries so ultimately it's their responsibility to provide for the well being of their citizens, with one exception, Haiti. Though I'm not Haiti myself, I have hell of respect for Haitians because they got in "Monsieur Blanc's ass and made Napoleon'em raise up. As a result, Jefferson and a bunch of European imposed an embargo on Haiti which is indirectly responsible for the endemic poverty of the country. Not to gloss over the corruption, but I feel that every nigga in the world, whether they're in Africa, Europe, America, Canada, South America and Caribbean owes it to the Haiti people for having the only successful slave revolt in the New World.
 
man if jamaica gets any money portia simpson is gonna find a way to fuck it up, the jamaican government stay fucking the money up and the same with the haitian government
 
"We don't think the issue of reparations is the right way to address these issues," Fitton said. "It's not the right way to address an historical problem."

I agree with this to a certain extent.

True reparations is when the descendants of slaves collectively rise up and physically take back what others have either taken or benefited from. This all starts in the mind.

For us to ask for anything is relinquishing our power and leaving the power in the hands of those you are asking. It's like asking for freedom, when freedom is taken. If someone freed you, then you're still a slave to another's authority.

True reparations wont happen until we collectively decide to free ourselves and physically take back what is rightfully ours, without asking.
