No disrespect to your articulation but this isn't one of your usually good analysis....

This is a topic that directly impacts me and I believe I have a good sense of some of the effects of Slavery and I would thus share my thoughts here...

First off Slavery is THE most evil act of human kind, the effects we could never fully understand and its still playing out. There could never be enough reparations for these groups, nonetheless, I also understand many are trapped in the Victim-hood mentality. One of the dangerous consequences of slavery is self-worth, I believe its something that transcends generation, its probably the most damaging effects of slavery, very few recognize it and probably deal with it, I myself have had to take many time trying to get my friends to understand we are more than our history. Taking that into account, slavery left us with nothing, absolutely nothing, even in my generation we have nothing we can claim to and the system that existed then still existed now, for example we were handed down a constitution from England, one that does not recognize us as equal, in fact, we are still recognize of subjects of the Queen. Land ownership is another tricky issue, much of the land still belongs to a select few, with me I recognize I must try my best to first own piece of the place I call home, in fact, only as recent as 1992 people were able to own some land and that came at a cost of a lifetime of saving, compounded to that we don't work for anything of substance. Our salaries are still a joke even today, people are working for less than 500USD if that gives you an idea where people stand. Sadly land value has skyrocketed, if you to own any good valuable land on the islands, you get a 1 million price tag, and something I am not to happy about, our governments seem to priority giving the best to foreign investors for 1 USD dollar a square foot. Even when our government do act in our favor, there is lots of interest groups with agenda lobbying otherwise. So we basically have a generation, my generation starting from literally scratch, our parents and grand parents have nothing to hand down, there is no prosperity in that. We seem now to be caught up in this whole migration situation, with those trying to get better basically stamp out because you recognize as not being good enough to even move between the islands, and that's sadly the case.

We have a whole generation fighting very complex issues and trying to put right a system that is working against them. We can chat more on that, I have many more to say, but yes I believe reparation and rights should be given, and its very important to get these groups up and running, they really need the help. Those who are fighting, give them the help. Take me for example, I believe I am reasonable person with lots of business ideas and good grasp of getting things done but I can't really get much done, when I got to the bank and they ask for collateral for a loan if I need to do business, where do I get that collateral from? I have a worthless medical degree and the system really does not afford much upward mobility. I also recognize I need not to be in the victim-hood and try to push on but its not as simple and easy as you think. Listen this would not be an easy fix, I am a fruit of slavery, its literally been three generation and half and I come from a progressive family, we have made progress with regard to education but getting us competitive we still need lots of help but more importantly we need to root up the current system, its one of the reasons I see cryptocurrency of a liberating tool from this present yolk.
