Wetac0s, I will go one step further than you and say judging by his posts I smell somebody von someones alter ego!!!

No I don't think he's Hildegard Von Whatever...Von Kraut sounded like a naive 14 year old girl.

CraigK sounds like he has a BA in English and is quite a wizard with words - which is why he had everyone fooled.

There are infiltrators of many types.
 
Jamaica: Slavery apology 'would be fine'


Tuesday 06 March 2012
by Our Foreign Desk


Jamaican prime minister Portia Simpson Miller suggested today that the British government should finally apologise for enslaving Jamaican peoples' ancestors.
The PM also hinted that the former colony was ready to ditch the British monarchy and become a republic.
Talking to the BBC hours before Prince Harry landed at Kingston's Normal Manley Airport for a four-day visit, Ms Simpson Miller said: "No race should have been subjected to what out ancestors were subjected to - it was wicked and brutal.
"We gained our freedom through the sweat, blood and tears of our ancestors and we are now free.
"If Britain wishes to apologise, fine with us, no problem at all."
British slavers shipped hundreds of thousands of African people from their homeland to Jamaica from the 17th to early 19th centuries to work on commercial plantations.
Up to a third of the uprooted people died within three years of arriving in Jamaica.
The unpaid labour of the survivors generated enormous profits for the British ruling class.
Ms Simpson Miller, who had lunch with Prince Harry in Kingston, said: "Whether Britain will be able to pay compensation I don't know.
"We have heard the calls, but I'm not making any calls on the British government."
Ms Simpson Miller said that 2012 - the 50th year since independence from Britain - would be a good year to start electing its own head of state.
"We came on a long journey, from slavery to adult suffrage to our independence.
"We are a nation where our maturity is now saying we should look to a form of government which would take full charge of our destiny."
Ms Simpson Miller refused to be drawn on whether or when she might call a referendum on the issue, saying: "We will be celebrating our 50th anniversary in August, so for us to be looking at changes now is an appropriate time in our history."
She emphasised that her plans were not a personal attack on the British monarch.
...
"But in terms of our history we have some things to do."

^^^^^ The U.S. and every European country have secretly agreed that they will never pay reparations for slavery.

...They all know that once any of them do so, the others will be challenged like falling dominoes.

Why not? It would be great for the economy.. They'll have most of the money back within a few years. And for those few years.. the malls will be full.. the car lots empty.. gucci and Louis vutton will be sold out.. and so on.. We're talking about the ultimate consumers here.. that money won't buy any power.. or any foothold.. or anything other than temporary personal comfort. The job has been done on us.. we don't even know now to work together.. and there is definitely no trust.. so what do they have to lose? You give a crack head a million dollars and he'll by a million dollars worth of crack.. you give a consumer-head a million dollars and he'll buy a 2 million dollars worth of products, file bankruptcy and go to jail for not paying his taxes... and then the conversation about reparations would be over.

seriously though.. unless the reparations includes territory and some semblance of sovereignty.. it would just be a payoff.. in currency that they own and control.. there would be so much special reparations legislation aimed at getting that money back. Their would probably be some stipulation that you must receive that money electronically through a major bank.. and keep it their for a certain amount of time to avoid some penalty.. They'll never grant any real reparations because they don't respect African people.. never have.. never will.

-Peace.

Well, they only gave the Japanese $ 20k.....Surely, you don't think they'd ever give US anything even close to that?!

Yes, the car lots, malls, pawn shops and the "rent-to-own" places would be full; but even that "windfall" wouldn't last long cuz it wouldn't be that much money, no way.
