@thenoblecop: When Britain abolished slavery in 1834 they paid compensation to slave owners not to enslaved people. The loan they borrowed was so large British taxpayers were still paying it off in 2015. Last week Jamaica petitioned King Charles for reparations. Britain said no. These two facts belong in the same conversation. #Jamaica #BlackHistory #Reparations #JamaicanHistory #LearnOnTikTok

The big question is who are the descendants of slave owners that were receiving this money up till 2015. That must be investigated and they must be prosecuted.

Not My own words!!! But my understanding of the payment to the slave masters where to actually free the slaves.Britain was already willing to abolish slavery but the jamaican slaves masters were not willing to end slavery, so Britain had to pay them to free the salves and abolish slavery. the slaves masters consider it a lost if they should free the slaves without any compensation.

Why argue with the British government. Does the crown or the British government own any assets in Jamaica? Well, I would advise the Jamaican government to look into those assets and do the math! Argument done 🤔💯

Not sure there is a legal obligation there, I think going after those slave masters who were paid compensation maybe viable. If they have a living family then their estates should be sued.

Foolishness, they already said slavery was lawful. Why there are still crown lands in Jamaica. Anyhow I want repatriation back to Africa.

compensation went to the slave owners based on the fact that many of the slave owners, were high ranking politicians, artisians, merchants and even members of the monarch family. That compensation along side revenue generated by slavery resulted in the development of major cities in England such as Liverpool and Manchester

What’s eye opening is the many calls in the past from citizens for reparations but fast forward today those people are the ones bashing the government for making the step. 🤦‍♀️
