All of the "great" civilisations had slaves.

That was an epic shutdown! I like her final part as well, that the descendants of the 2000 British seamen that died fighting to stop slavery worldwide, should also receive reparations.

Whites and other races have also been slaves and serfs.

The slavery abolitionists like the leftist liberals of today mistakenly believed that the blacks were equal in ability with the whites. Had this been so the freed black nations like Haiti and Jamaica would be thriving and industrious today. When all measure of effort has been put from the outside into creating stable and prosperous African nations and has failed, the fault has to be with the Africans.
I wish the whole slave business had never begun, we would be better off now if it hadn't.
Then as now would be philosophers like Adam Smith speculate about how things ought to be and get it wrong.
Do-gooders then as now do more harm than good. They identify with those they perceive as oppressed and portray these oppressed not just as someone ill-treated but they give them a noble character that they do not possess, while demonising and condemning their own race.
No man should be a slave, or an oppressed and exploited worker or serf. But giving people a strength of character and a nobility that they do not possess is going too far.
This compensation to slave owners was a debt that the British taxpayers only recently made the final payment on for the loans entered into by the state at that time.
Slavery was prevalent throughout human history and existed in most cultures, so we should not be required to feel more guilt than any others. In fact the British were the first in history to end enslavement.

Slaves were taken from the south coast of England too by barbary corsairs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbary_pirates
-they engaged in Razzias, raids on European coastal towns and villages, mainly in Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, but also in the British Isles,[1] the Netherlands, and Iceland.[2] The main purpose of their attacks was to capture slaves for the Ottoman slave trade as well as the general Arab slavery market in North Africa and the Middle East.

An excellent article, full of historical data, which will unfortunately never get widespread release in the MSM.

It's main argument is  a good one though. That if reparations are to be paid to black people from West Africa, the money should be levied from the ancestors of the black West Africans that ran the slave trade, according to the Angolan model.
