As a black man I will never understand why Africans are clamouring to be paid for slavery. The transatlantic slavery ended in 1807 which means nobody alive today experienced it. Even if the white people decide to pay this reparation, it'll end up being looted by corrupt politicians and Africa will still remain the same.
Everyone knows slavery happened so why are we so hell bent on having white people acknowledge it, or receiving money for it? Will it end racism? Will that money develop Africa or will it end up in the bank account of some elite few? Nobody can respect Africa if we don't develop our countries. with all the abundant resources available yet nothing has been done with it and they're clamouring to be paid, with what exactly? Money printed by another country... You should all hide your heads in shame..
Over 200 years since the slavery ended and Africa has not made any significant progress, Instead of looking for solutions to the Myriad of problems facing the continent, they're looking for more money to steal. Europe should not pay a dime to these pathetic lot. Fix your problems, develop your countries. Let African resources be used to develop Africa, show the white man you're not that primitive savage they think you to be and maybe they might respect you and finally acknowledge the crime that was done. Until then, I vote NO to any reparations.
