Jamaica is planning to ask the United Kingdom for compensation for the Atlantic slave trade in the former British colony, a senior government official said.
The Caribbean island nation will file a petition that could seek billions of pounds in reparations, pending legal advice, according to Olivia Grange, Jamaica’s minister of sports, youth and culture.
She said the country hoped for ‘reparatory justice in all forms’ to ‘repair the damages that our ancestors experienced’.
Didn’t we have a Jamaican gang problem here? Maybe we should ask Jamaica for reparations.
