My brother, why should those who sold their brothers and sisters to the white man benefit from reparation payment? is that justice? Reparations, if paid, must be given to descendants of the slaves who worked in the cotton fields and sugar cane plantations and not those who sold them.

A very erudite analysis by Oliver. Ignorant Manasseh's position is like saying that all Ghanaians are culpable in the $20m United States military base agreement signed between Akuffo Addo and the US without the tacit support and approval and involvement of the Ghanaian people. There'll always be Uncle Toms and House niggers but that will not negate or obliterate the fact or act of an atrocity.

People acting criminally and selfishly on their own accord (some of which aren't clearly or manifestly commercial from the onset) can't be called Middlemen, in fact, from subjective viewpoint. Some of us have read different versions about how and why some people "needed" to be "sold". A person "selling" another knows for sure it's wrong.
Some of them (victims) would have suffered serious consequences from the hands of their own countrymen anyway had the slavers not come in for the haul, because they were already branded outcasts and maltreated.

Africans were adequately paid in full consideration what are they looking for again. Cannot even account for the proceeds anyway.

Manasseh, you clearly passed a pedestrian verdict about the whole idea of reparation to Africa. In practical terms, the fact that my own relative conspired with an outsider to commit a crime against me doesn't negate the crime component therein anyday.

@Eric, Donatus and Dog Meat. I am sure you are descendants of those Africans who conspired with the Slave Traders to capture and take our people away into the inhumane slavery. Always TRAITORS amongst us.

Sometimes I feel such people don’t contribute to any intellectual discourse but just would want to take a stance against everything so people have their say as well. It’s more of going viral than contributing to anything essentially good.

Manasseh Azure has "exposed his narrow-mindedness in reasoning."
Did he truly believe that if the so-called African middlemen had refused to get involved, would the Europeans have just packed their bags and returned home on their ships?
This so-called Africans-helped sold them was PLANTED BY THE WHITEMEN TO IMPLICATE AFRICANS AS CRUEL DOUBLE-WHAMMY AGAINST AFRICANS.
WHAT ARE MANESSEH'S SOURCES OF FACT? IF HE WANTS THE US GOVERNMENT TO GRANT HIM FAVOURS HE MUST SAY SO AND STOP DISRESPECTING THE AFRICAN DIASPORA. DOES HE KNOW BETTER THAN AFRICAN AMERICAN ACTIVIST SUPPORTING MAHAMA?
MANESSEH IS SO NARROW-MINDED I WOULD NEVER TAKE HIM SERIOUSLY AGAIN

Complicity is tantamount to having unclean hands, and thus a bar to having any claims on slavery reparations. Those deserving of any reparations are the descendants of African slaves who toiled away in parts of Europe, the USA, Mexico, Central America, South America and the Caribbean Islands. African countries have no business demanding slavery reparations.

Well articulated, @JULOR CAESAR. Descendants of those who constructed the White House, London Bridge etc are the ones who deserve reparation.
