I think in America there should be a public holiday for all black people as a way of saying sorry for slavery. In jobs where they cant be missed then for that day white people will not get wages and the money distrubuted to all black people in the organisation.

In England however it should be the opposite, since it was English people who campaigned to stop slavery, thus white people get a day off to say thank you.

Got something better than one lousy holiday bucky, its called welfare. They can sit on their can for all eternity and feel sorry for themselves and get compensation.

then the german government should start paying all jews in the world as an apology. and the spanish government should pay all the witches and wizards and heretics in the world for the people they killed. america has native americans and the vietnamese to pay in addition to the black people. france has the napoleonic wars, so french baguettes for all austrians, germans, russians, polish, italians etc.

there is one problem with this judgement: all the involved party are dead. and unless you want to find attila's or genghis khan's descendants and trial them for the deaths caused by their ancestors, think again before posting.

yes, of course america should be sorry for slavery. but neither you are slave, neither the current government is conducting slavery. so why don't you get your lazy ass up and do some work instead of receiving money you didn't earn

As wrong as it is/was, slavery in the U.S may actually have improved the opportunities of it's African-American descendants.😕
A horrible price to pay!:'(

It was also the English who started the practice of slavery in their colonies over here. What was carried on after 1776 is our shame, but your country gets the blame for what her citizens did prior to that.
