Prince Harry admits the royal family made fortune from slavery

Yes we all know that Britain was involved in the slave trade along with just about everyone else one way or another back in those days. Then it was just business as usual. By the way piracy ( stealing other people's stuff ) was also big business back in those days. See back then the strong took from the weak in a law of the jungle kind of way. Fortunately those days are largely behind us in the West.

As for paying reparations who would they be paid to ? The victims of slavery are all long dead. Should I be paid reparations because some of my long dead relatives starved to death in the Irish Potato Famine ? Or because some of my long dead relatives were forced to emigrate from Scotland in the Clearances ? It's nonsense and is nothing but a fraudulent scam to get a large amount of money for nothing.

Mind you I'd be happy to contribute to a one-way ticket air fare for Esther Stanford-Xosei so that she can go back to her ancestral homeland in Africa seeing how she is so unhappy living in England which is the land of some of her ancestors oppressors. Perhaps there she can get herself a real job.

As for Prince Harry he is welcome to pay reparations from his own fortune if he feels so strongly about the issue. But I won't be holding my breath waiting for that to happen.

“...In terms of Prince Harry going this far, it’s really, really important,” Stanford-Xosei said. “We can see the establishment reaction, including… the establishment media, who are seeking to belittle him, demonize him because he is daring to speak universal truths and actually be in touch with the conscience of humanity.”

It's pretty apparent that the "establishment media" (of the UK) ALSO doesn't want to apologize for ITS treatment of Harry and Megan because it would also cost them money, their reputation (such as it already is anyway), and expose the criminality of ITS institution given the way they've played such a large role in the demonization and belittling of the couple, since much of British media makes The National Enquirer and TMZ look like Ms. Manners by comparison. Obviously, such projection isn't just an American thing these days. Sad.

I'd probably agree with most or all (past or present) of Harry's royal family criticisms if I wasn't sick to death hearing about the RF in general.

It was outlawed 200yrs ago. Get over it already.

So-called "reparations", a nice word for extortion, isn't going to make anything better. In fact, it will make things worse, much worse.

theres little chance of reparations being made , considering the outrage that occurred when someone suggested we go so far as to take the statues honoring these slave traders down - and that wouldnt cost anything!

Any family made from old money came up through slavery. All the great wonders of the world were built through slavery. There are still slaves today except now they get paid.

Every economic thing you look at on this globe is like this, there is so much criminal money that money itself is just a tool or manipulation and control - a meta-level of slavery.

Our lives center around money because no one can analyze it or explain it and we have to hold on to it for some kind of structure so the whole rotten thing doesn't break apart - but now the new structure emerges from those with enough money and hold on local structure to be able to survive - like the aristiocracy of old.

Everyone, i.e. regular people who have to work and be taxed has been turned in a wage slave and is tied up more and more through money and lies while the media ties up their brains.

It's not just the Western Colonizers that owe the world money - it is so complex that even looking at it that way makes it impossible to solve - so, of course, this has been analyzed by the think tanks, and that's what we see in the media, that is why it is framed that way by the media - to put a hot topic out there and turn it to mush with noise disentangling it to anything political.

If reparations for almost anything were to made, say in America some set of blacks got reparations for slavery, it would make everyone else jealous and angry, and probably rightfull so. For the next 20-50 years it would be the number one divisive topic, like Equal Opportunity used to be to rev up racism in the time of the Bakke decision.

Stop grabbing on to specific injustices and view this problem systemically. Talk about it systemically. We need a massive money reset of the people with all the money will be even more dangerous than they already are.

What about the African tribes who made money from selling slaves? Or the Europeans taken as slaves by Middle Easterners over the centuries?

Why is it always focused on only one group?
