Just as long as you remember John that the majority of those black africans sold into slavery were sold by their own black chiefs,kings and warriors. The African slave trade did not and could not exist without the willing participation and collusion of all those black Africans too. So are you prepared to sue their descendents and the governments in Africa too??
Ok....so lets say for example that Britian has to pay.....now the money comes out of the public exchequer/ ministry of finance....that money is from taxes that people of Britian have paid to the government. So in effect the descendents of those people who never owned slaves are being punished for something others did.....doesn't seem very fair to me. On top of that, the strongest and most effective anti-slavery and abolishonist groups were in the UK and they effectevily were the ones who forced the UK to stop and outlaw slavery....now the descendents of the very people who fought and sometimes died to stop the slave trade and free the slaves are to be forced to pay for the crimes of others???? That would be obscene.
So if Nygard is a Bahamian citizen, as claimed in the article, was he required to give up his Canadian citizenship as is required by Bahamian law????? Or was he given special treatment?

Man are you wrong......Hitler was totally anti-black....he considered black folk as sub-humans and they were to be exterminated.
