What do the Africans that first sold their prisoners of tribal war for salves and went to war just to procure prisoners to be sold as slaves owe ?? How about the millions that died in these wars and the march to the coast ,,what do they owe ?? More then one race benefited to enrich themselves .. ..

The Ashanti empire were in constant warfare conquering other tribes for prisoners to supply the slave trade ,many died in the battles and many died in the march to the coast .What should their descendents be made to pay ??.Children are bought now in sub sahara Africa for 30 to 40 dollars and sold for 350 dollars to the wealthier politically connected in the oil and diamonds rich countries like Nigeria ,for the sex trade and as household servants ,should these leaders have to contribute ,For an eye opener read about slavery in Africa today ,,

@John estimated everyone descended from slaves would get 40 million dollars .Lets put a more conservative number and say 4 million .Can you imagine what would happen .First everyone would quit their job ,Then the white and black business owners and merchants would make fortunes selling us land ,houses ,luxury autos ,yacths, and all manner of expensive consumer goods .IN 25 years the majority of us would be broke w/ no jobs or industry b/c we would have already told the tourist to hall ass ..

How do either of them ,Fitzgerald or Wilson have the gall to fight over a 300 million a year Ministry ,the biggest in our budget ,that year in year out produces a failing product . Surely some of it is the parents fault but there is also blame to be placed on the Ministry ,the product COB is turning out as teachers ,and the unions .Two people fighting over the spoils of a business failure ,,only in the public domain can this happen..
