  1. No! He should not. If a person's great grandfather robbed a bank five generations ago, should that person spend the rest of their life trying to pay back that bank? It does not even make sense. Should that bank, if it still exists, spend the rest of time thanking the British for doing away with slavery before any other country did so? Recognizing is just fine. But apologizing for something one did not do is not even rational.

  2. Well, perhaps he should – but only after the African nations that ran the white slave trade (and far more brutally than the transatlantic slave traders) way before the transatlantic slave trade have apologised to Europeans for what they did and the sub-Saharan African countries have thanked King Charles for Britain being the first not just to ban slavery, but have its sailors lose their lives stopping slave ships of other nations.

  3. Haiti demolished slavery first. Not Britain. And racism started with the English, going globally to say about how their skin colour is superior, whilst getting everyone to use their language instead (like America where they settled down).

    So don't play the victim and wonder why you're being blamed.

    Imarn has got patience talking to daft non-coloured people, who can't concentrate enough to hear anything.

  4. Also, why don't you finish the rest of that story? As to why "Africans sold their own?" When it was either that, or be shot? Africans had wooden spears and shields. Europeans had guns.

    You do the math.
