Should Europe repay Africa for Slavery

[salamyman]

Well if americans don't question their leader(s) then they have a bigger problem than the think.

[Fortify]

I think you have misread my statement. I am not backing Islam terrorism. . there is no good terrorism or bad terrorism in the world. It is bad. It mist be wiped out. so is extremism. They all against the humanity. I mean Westerns and some powerful organization behind modern Islam terrorism. and in the past Christians also killed so many people. and they still kill. US and UK killed so many iraqi people. it is 4% of their country population. it is big , isn't it? They said Sadam got nuclear weopans. but they found nothing in the end. These are conspiracies, Even Americans questioning their leaders now. 

What you don't seem to understand is terrorism is a perspective. One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter. Not all terror is the same either. The IRA when bombing England would ring ahead and tell everyone to get out of the building. The Muslim terrorists popping up lately have an obsession with beheading and throwing people off buildings. It leads back to their teaching, it is bullshit when people say "Islam is the religion of peace". It is a horrible religion and condones all sorts of gratuitous violence.

people may have different definitions in their perspectives. but you have to look at their behavior.  Do they really behave like liberal fighters /revolutionists ? or like real terrorists? don't mixed up revolutionist and terrorists together.  liberal fighters never kill innocent people. they don't release violence on un armed people. but terrorists do.

how have you guys managed to get from slavery to terrorists? might have gotten just a bit astray from the main subject...

[Nobtcforyou]

Wouldnt make much sense for that.Africans enslaved among themslves too,will they sue each other too?

[Tuvualala]

European merchants didn't catch slaves in jungle, they just bought them from african tribe chiefs.

[Deimos030]

In my opinion the actuall problem is that the western world still buy resources very cheap like nestle bought some water reservoirs in africa and the people there die because they have no water... very low salarys and corrupt systems... so fix the modern slavery than we can talk about the past.

Should Europe repay Africa for slavery?
No, not at all, lets not be so quick to judge, as history has a funny way of repeating itself. It would be better to educate them, than to just give away handouts. They wouldn't appreciate it, and it would be in vain! Instead, if you teach them, it will be the best gift you can give, especially as a reparation.
 Yeshua said, if you give a man a fish, he will only eat for a day. If you teach a man to fish, he will eat for a lifetime! Im not a big fan of Christianity,  but those words are tried and true, and supercede any religion.

Absolutely, God has been us a freedom and the right to live. African peoples are not a Toy or either pet, they have their own rights,Europe proves that there is a superiority of the color of the races.

Earlier, CNN released footage of a slave auction in Libya that has drawn much world criticism. Officials in Europe claim to have repeatedly warned of the dire circumstances at immigrant centers in Libya, including the occurrence of persecution and slavery.
In contrast to the call, critics say France has supported the overthrow of Moammar Khadafy in 2011, causing Libya to be filled with anarchy.

Slavery is wide-spread all over the Sub-Saharan African region and the Maghreb. It is not just confined to Libya. Slavery is thriving in countries such as Sudan and Chad. In Mauritania, an estimated 40% of the population is classified as slaves. Even in some of the former USSR nations and Asian countries, there are widespread instances of modern day slavery.

Do you honestly believe that European countries should pay reparations to African countries for the sins of Slavery ?

We shouldn't be living in thr past mistakes since it will further cause division among countries though it wouldn't hurt for rich countries in europe to extend assitance to the extremely empoverished african countries.

I do not think this could be ever happen . However, European countries and any other imperialist countries must stew in their own juice . African people have been suffering a lot and They must be paid for this cruelty but again It will never happern.

[Wayan_Pedjeng]

Not just slavery, but also for the centuries of colonial rule. The European powers exploited the Africans for many hundreds of years and during the colonial rule vast quantities of the African natural resources were stolen by them.

[Bobsrepair]

How about the US? Now that was a real crime.

They never can repay. even after exploiting Africa and Asia now they are in trouble. Their economies collapsing. How they replay Africa ? So it is clear This system is wrong. not only Africa and Asia, not only whole world. though you exploit whole the universe ( if possible) you still can't carry on with this system. Cos there is no limit for human desires, you can't fulfill your unlimited needs.  So better reduce your needs, and live in harmony with the nature, every animals belongs this mother earth , not only human. Untill people start to think like that. This crisis will exit.

European dont own Africa any repatriation fees. It was win win game. Africa before European arrival involved in slave trade among their tribesmen , slavery was traded for food and other essential things. The fact whites were able to utilize blacks sold to them for their selfish ends doesn't means they should pay back any compensation.

And what? Just open Wiki and read. For example this - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_in_Africa
As you can see, slavery existed in Africa before european. And arabic states, Persia, India was part of that as and Europe.

I think that in this way the politics and economy of the world developed...it will be silly if the rulers return in the old days and degrade
