British companies considering paying reparations to BAME groups ..
 
Two of Britain’s biggest organizations will donate to projects benefiting ethnic minorities after an academic database highlighted their roles in slavery.

Global insurance firm Lloyd’s of London and pub chain Greene King both said they might pay after historical links to slavery were described in a University College London index

Thoughts ?!?

bless.

Tax payers have been paying "reparations" right up to 2015, that's how long it took until the bill for buying all the slaves' freedom was paid up.


But if the money is going toward education in deprived areas, that's great!

You do realise that money was being paid to slave owners to "make up" for them losing money in not being able to trade slaves?

How is that in anyway "reparations" for ethnic groups?

How dare black people be so greedy, don’t they know slave owners were paid compensation to let their slaves go? God, worlds gone mad!

I'm glad black people have won this victory. I look forward to the day when people stop buying BMWs and VWs, both established by slave workers. And when they don't buy Louis Vuitton bags and instead remember the thousands of Jews he sent to their death. And stop buying Hugo Boss, who was responsible for the really well designed uniform of the murdering Nazis.
