news. the high end for me. ok, welcome to the string. today we're talking about slavery, reparations for the colonizers and what potentially the payment of reparations could do in terms of institutional racism and racism around the world have a look at my laptop, just a reminder about the transatlantic slave trade. this is a timeline from the transatlantic slave trade database. those play ships that you see crossing from the african continent, a back through to the caribbean, and new and north america. they are portuguese and british, and french at spanish, from the netherlands, from america, gives you an idea of the height of the slave trade. what it meant, an estimate of between 12 and

a half 1000000 people and maybe up to 20000000 people in the african continent. were in slaved, the 2 questions that always come up when say we reparations of talked about one, nothing to do with me not to do with my government. i was around at the time, i'm not responsible and to it was a long time ago. what other questions would you like to put to, i guess the comment section is right here on youtube degree, part of today's discussion. whenever politicians discussed in the off base life in conversation there's a habit for discussing in terms of the past. i think it was a one time event occurred centuries justice is just a compensation check off to be somewhat african people around the world live without protection of human rights. so reservations from author must be hillis tech, and i must address that is the global to humanize ation of african people, people african heritage all over the world rhetoric from off and that around

justice and they must tre, committed agents for exchange as mental the systemic. and institutional policies to our legacy, what, what the most, most just crime against humanity join us to talk about slavery, reparations. we have really asked and the key chain ladies, it's so good to have you with us. very welcome to the stream, introduce yourself to local audience. thank you very much. my name is maureen shepard. i am a social historian and the director of the center for reparation research at university of the west indies here in the caribbean. and i'm one of the vice chairs of the united nation committee on the elimination of racial discrimination. get to have hello esther, introduce yourself to stream viewers. hi greetings. my name is esther stanford casee. and i am a jewish consult, which is a specialist in jurisprudence, the science and philosophy of law. i'm also the coordinator general of the stock on

gimme easy, we charge genocide, echoes side campaign. i'm on give me z is a case where he works for african holocaust as the so good to have you talk to you more in just a moment, but 1st i have to greet in the kitchen the kitchen. welcome to the stream, introduce yourself track level audience. greetings. say me. my name is the key, she tell you. i'm an attorney. i'm an activist, i'm an advocate, and i am an author. i'm a founding member of the cobra. the national coalition of black reparations in america. and i'm an inaugural commissioner on the national african american reparation commission for let's start with the united nations. this is the human rights chief michelle ballet on july, the 12, making a deep connection between the slave people and reparations. and what reparations actually means. there is an urgent need to confront the legacy of enslavement. the transatlantic slave trade colon release them and successive racially discriminatory

policies and systems, and to seek repository justice. despite some in each of these towards truth seeking unlimited forms of reparation, including memorization acknowledgements, apologies under jason. i research could not find a single sample of a state that has comprehensively record with the past or accounted for its impact on the lives of people of african center, a guess i i just paid as a timeline. it wasn't even the entire timeline, the transit late. it tried to antic slave trade. but from let's say 1500. so the 16th century, right up until the 19th century, people were tropic africans were traffic. and then the, the sense of nervousness about putting a point on how do you do that because that's what reparations is doing, isn't it? the key to you start plus is much more than that as well.

it's not just compensation for the labor error for the fall of the holocaust, of the transatlantic slave trade, but least with respect to in the united states where everything that's happened since then slaymen era. there. 2 are black cove pianos system, the chain gains to share cropping, the homestead at not being able to get the benefits of that of the g. i bill the red line in the gym for our part, the mass incarceration. all of these things combine the black white, our economic wealth gap, the shelters receive the education of inequity, the cruel, punish with the so it is compensation for all of that combine. and i will say there is no amount, no amount of financial compensation, jen, it all compensate for everything that african people worldwide throughout the diaspora has gone through. so will be the situation of

a negotiated settlement. that's what we're talking about. we're not talking about conversation that it's going to fully completely and totally tone for everything that is happen. but it will be a step towards that necessary healing that we need as the continue me, i take the position for an international human rights floor, an international humanitarian law that make it very clear. but a comprehensive reparation strategy or program or settlement has to include multi faceted remedies, including remedies of restitution. and of course, compensation has been mentioned. rehabilitation measures a satisfaction, what's called symbolic reparations. and me, most importantly, which is actually on the ram for sized in the discourse on african reparations is

guarantees of non repetition. how do we ensure that what has happened to us and continues to happen? does not ever happen again. you know, as people present doing a double take like a, of course, of course and slave people that couldn't happen again. what looked guarantee be that you would need? well, it's not just about enslavement. actually. the, the crimes of them on gimme a continue to this day, we're talking about racism as a direct legacy anti black racism. and it's specific form known as africa. phobia, which toy and spoke to. and actually we're talking about colonize ation, neo colonialism. so there's a whole range of violations and dispositions, and displacements of african people around the world, which require repair. so restitution could be any number of things including the

right to restoration of our own group rights, our own individual human rights, the right to nationality, the right to our homeland as opposed to being referred to as an ethnic minority. i'm just looking here, my, my laptop here for read a headline that caught the world's attention to make a plan to see reparations from britain over slavery. and then ron says, underneath that story, posting that for off, go get it. it won't change the past, but it could positively affect the future. wrong, gets it very wrong. get it. and many people get it, or panelists get it, and i'm sure lots of your listeners and your viewers. i guess it. but can i just say that this is not new, jamaica has been on this path to speak or pads or injustice for a long time. i think now that we are a part of

a global movement is appearing as if this is something new. but remember, when we talk about reparation and the fight for freedom and liberation, and right, we have to talk about from the very moment of con, when colonization and leave meant the traffic you know, and says, the post colonial harm, the cashless emancipation, all of these things have a long this move and has a long genealogy. and so we, it's a continuous movement towards asset elements which has not yet happened. so jamaica, in fact, in 2009 for the national commission on reparation is called the comes to know and carry come. there's a regional commission and also jamaica park of that. and rest of her i have been carrying on the site for a very long time in jamaica,

outside of jamaica that just wanted to see if not new, even though there's an intensification of the movement. because the more people say no, we're not going to talk to you the more we are insisting, yes, you must talk to us, and you must do what my colleagues have said. you are to do apologize. we have 3 dimensions. you accept responsibility, you commit to non repetition, and you commit to repair and we're waiting on all of those. and actually i want to just hop in for a moment if i can, because i want to agree 100 percent with my sister, bery reparations is not new. in the united states, the concept did not drop from the sky with tallahassee coach article in the atlantic magazine, the case ration for even recently with nicole, hannah jones and her 161900 project that talked about reparations in the new york time separation for a long standing issue of international law,

which the united states is actually participated in from the time of the end of the flaming period. reparations were embed paid in the united states. they just weren't paying the black folks, they were paying them really late owners for the last example. you know, i was jumping on that because you're absolutely right. and that's what i'm saying. it's been going on for a very long time. we're just naming it different things. know and what is ok if people come to the movement at different times, it's ok. we welcome everybody. some big tense. all are welcome and all has a lot. all people have have a plea, but yes, those who are paid were not our people. and therefore we are pressing for company. but i'm not part of a development plan in the case of the carrier be. so i guess i have a question to ask, and i'm going to office question via police pamela denise long. my question is the

often in this reparations debate, this is been going on for a very, very long time, as you point out for me. so it seems easier for people of color for black people to see why reparations. the next are not just money, but an entire class ok of reparations. and it seems very difficult for people who aren't black to see this. i'm curious as to why he is pamela's, and she just does a whole list of why it's important. why reparations are important. have a list of public the united states must pay reparations for channel slavery. black, american descendants of us slaves due to outright neglect and harmful policy is like red lining and mass incarceration, including violence law. black americans have 110th the wealth of white americans as a defendant of slavery and parent to an 8th generation black american. a just

reparations plan for us includes cash payments for 400 plus years of stolen labor and racial trauma experienced by me, my child and our ancestors. so after i, as i predicted on getting the questions that i mentioned, i was expecting at the top of the show, i thought we are talking many years ago. so peggy, we should not have to pay for some we had nothing to do with. why is it difficult for people who are black to see that reparations has a place in 2021. after, i think some people who all know of african ancestry have a problem with it. there are many so called white people and also an agent people and others who do get reparation certainly. and what that i'm doing in europe. one of the difficulties is, it's already been mentioned this to humanize ation. of people of african ancestry

continues. it has been made systemic. so in terms of legal systems, the education system which often mis educates and doesn't teach the truth about our history. even prior to enslavement, because all history didn't begin with enslavement. and there is a lack of recognition of how the world has been created today, including all its inequality is as a result of this history that we are all speaking about. and in the u. k, it's actually not history because it was only in 2015 that the loan that was taken out by the british government to pay and slavers. in 1835 was finally repaid. so that means every generation, including of people, of african african diaspora, including african caribbean, heritage has also had to pay back by way of extortion, extortion of taxes. so this is

a modern day thing and it is unjust. and i don't see why it's so difficult to recognize the, in the quality, the injustice that is meeting out to african people. but yet we are expected to recognise the jewish holocaust, the dispossession a lack of suffering, t of indigenous peoples, which we do. but then we are also human being to we must assert our right to be recognised, a thought, and also our right to a remedy, to repair. and that repair must be full. i'm holy stick to, let's talk about repair reparations. how. how do they work there? have been some examples, institutions, organizations are doing their own reparations. they say yes, we were complicit. we understood that we benefited from the slave trade to slavery . and this is what we're doing in order to repair that damage. nikita give us some

examples from the united states. do you have any? so let me just say this 1st, the harms from the enslavement error and beyond what multifaceted, that's the abilities must be multifaceted as well. just recently, there is jurisdiction in the united states call evanston, illinois. they use a very creative way of toning for the past. they use tax revenue from their legal cannabis industry to fund reparations or projects in that. a city issues that stem from the enslavement. eric, specifically with respect to housing discrimination and what we call bed lining that was very creative show shall i say there's georgetown university. the reason why georgetown university stands today is because of the sale by the just with who own george. so university of over 272 black men, women and children and baby ok to keep georgetown from going into bankruptcy. they

have just called for one i'm not sure 2000000 or billions of money to satisfy to begin to change for that. but basically it is the federal government. what the bill that is on the table today. what are the commission to study and develop reparation proposals. rascan americans at which is the summer is the story. so shall we say, it is the in 2 or every thing. you have the federal government, you have to say come in local governments, academic and religious institutions, and industries and corporations and property is safe. but the low that the federal government plate, and there are the situation that they must them, they, they must apologize. they must compensate. you know, they must allow that satisfaction. that is what is, must be power mo,

at this time 3. let me share this with you. this isn't because kingdom of cush, we told the kingdom of kush we were, we are doing this program. so have a look here. reparation should be paid. the vatican and the church of england an apology to the turn of felon artifacts, as well, from the country of origin. the indigenous native american tribes, the ocean apology, and reparation. so many apologies out that it should be made. what importance is your napoleon is that the starting point will do you have to get a story 1st. it would be nice to get a sorry 1st. and that's how i started by talking about the different dimensions of open apology. what we can get. now, if the apology doesn't come, we wait on it and we don't do anything else. and, but i want to just reinforce the point that my colleague message says, have me that this is not too long in the past. the told if something was done in the past, it was 2nd and so on. then you could even begin to think like that. but this is

a continuing calm. we are talking about stolen artifact lou to that effect does not return. i know some people are talking about returning that, know some universities and yet we're talking about back a logical damage we're talking about has crisis where, where into the pandemic now. and we're seeing the effect of the lack of social infrastructure in place when was was, was extracted to ensure that places let britain became rich. we are talking about the legacy with which we are living. and we are saying that they have not been paid the accounts have not been spent, and therefore we have to carry on. i know to very, and i'm not debating with you. but what i am wondering about is you don't have to dial up alone. it can be you. the key at the community is of people who believe in reparations. what about your former colonizers,

the the caribbean states have written to you can form a colonizers. sometimes they reply few. sometimes they don't. they do not want to have anything to do with reparations. how do you move forward? what do you do? that's why we, where we have to do what we're all doing in the movement globally. whereas the thing, yes, we are going to keep while the work public education, because one way to get people to move is to ensure your populations with you. and therefore public education is quite important. and we are also saying that if everyone who has been colonized, if you are living in a call and i think you must look around, you want to see the impact of what you are open did therefore you are, you do have don't within our space as well, but we are trying to move the live woman at the time. we have the politicians who do not believe that reparations will ever be white. they,

they just don't believe it. well, i think we have marked it. we do have a camera reparation. yeah. commission, you have a prime minister subcommittee and everyone is working. you have individual politicians. why then making some in a lawyer for example, antique by border prime minister. brown is making inroads in terms of harvard and oxford. so much attractive. what i'm seeing here, t i e t is asking for restitution. this is what france did just time me the development of this country that has been such a beacon in times of revolution. for right though we can drop even if we get wary. i always see emancipation, quote, unquote, you know, the end of african and monga me the took friend trees. our ancestors didn't even know when they were fighting and getting hanged and burned on everything that you

do and they kept on. our generation has a responsibility to take the torch and carry on, even if it look difficult. i'm just going to agitate nikita, let me just see this is from scott connie. i just said you can debate because you can't debate with amongst yourself because you all agree. scott connie said, i don't think i pay the full micheler colonizers financial compensation for historical abuses. seems unlikely the key to go ahead pick up. yeah, no, i just want to say we need to add to say, educate and organize the global movement in our global movement right now. it is because i tell her car, because of what cara. com inspired us in the united states when i'm reparations movement was at a low, it inspired us in 2015 to form the national african american reparations commission moto off the cara. com model, and it really created an absurd. what happened just recently with michelle batch,

a lot in the un high commissioner in the like what it did was it called us secretary of state anthony brick in to issue a, an invitation affordable indigent petition for that you went from robert to or on contemporary form so they show us racism to come to united states. so what happens in one area has an impact on what's happening in other areas as well. so it's, it's part of the global movement. i'm fortunate. we are near the en route, not of the, the decade of us decade people of african descent. but when i say i remember the beginning of that decade, that way we, we, i all right, i right guess let me just put play one more comment. this is from professor diversity. he makes a very convincing argument for reparations. he also mentioned something called red lining, which our audience is outside of the u. s. we need to know is it's about housing

discrimination. applied often to people of color. here is his, as far as i'm concerned, very convincing argument have a list and have a look. the case for operations for black, american descendants of us, slavery extends well beyond the atrocities and slave men. in particular, one has to take into account the nearly century long period of legal segregation in the united states. coupled with upwards of 100 massacres. that took place from the end of the civil war into the 1940s that resulted in massive loss of black lives. but also the seizure and appropriation of black property by the white jurors. and then in the post civil rights period, we still have ongoing atrocities including mass incarceration, police executions of an arm, blacks, and sustained discrimination and housing credit and employment mark. i am going to

say the key chain florine. f u r fi is out. thank you so much for being on the street today. i will see. ah, ah ah, as the worlds rich ticket john lean towards the final frontier day with all just as jeff bezos, boards the blue origin, new shepherd, space flight on july 20th the brilliant is faced with special coverage with energy and change to every part of our universe for small to continue the change all
