Edit: Fellow white people, please read the article before just reading the title and reflexively commenting to make it about yourselves, thx
Oh shit, we haven’t? Do I… do I have to start saying stuff about eating pets?
Not so sure it’s white people in general. France, obviously yes. I don’t think any other country ever demanded “reparations” for the loss of slave labor. That said, the US has had a complicated and at times troubling relationship with Haiti, intervening on France’s side during Jefferson’s presidency (Jefferson was a slave owner and shit was fucked).
The United States actually paid reparations to slavers. We paid slavers in DC the equivalent of $9000 per slave.
Britain required former slaves to work for 2 years unpaid before they were free to go post abolition. Slave owners received £17bn in today’s money in reparations.
Interesting, thanks.
Nothing like a little racism to point out some other racism
