All those Caribbean islands are sunny breezy tropical paradises with few if any natural resources on them whatsoever. Maybe just the roll of the dice when God created the world and dished out the resources to the various countries, but those islands are more or less nothings. I worked on an rccl ship for 10 months as a musician, and believe me, long before the 19th time visiting Bermuda, I kind of lost interest. There isn’t a molecule of anything there that wasn’t brought in from somewhere else.
Charles needs to “apologize” for slavery? When did he ever own a slave or condone the practice?
Slavery didn’t exist there prior to British presence? I doubt that is true.
Moreover, Britain and other Western powers spent a lot of blood and treasure to end the slave trade...a slave trade they did not start.
Some, just to avoid printing new currency with his face on it.
they dont like Charles the Turd either
The failed gibsmedat nations realized the optics were bad, and re-packaged reparations demands as climate-related - absolutely true.
Most if not all former colonies of European countries have devolved since throwing out the white people; while Zimbabwe or Haiti are flagrant examples, it is widespread. Some have transitioned better than others, but few thrive or even match the level of development they saw under European colonization. The infrastructures rot as public funds are looted, the environment suffers as industry reverts to primitive methods, and they blame whitey. there may be some truth to their accusation; Western medicine caused their populations to explode while the cultures lagged in learning how to provide for them.
It is now universal......... the cure for inequality is reparations.
Reparations?
I thought British slave owners were compensated for emancipated slaves.
Compensation for the LAZY-—and the DELIBERATELY STUPID
Jamaica is a Garden of Eden. It’s unfortunate its citizens can’t properly capitalize on the blessings bestowed upon them.
I’m pretty sure my white great-grandfather’s great-great-great-grandfather picked cotton. I want reparations!
