All this stuff about apologies is bollocks. An apology only means something if it is made by the person who committed the act in question.

Some one apologizing for another person's actions more than a Century before they were even born means fuck all.

Surely, all that can be done now is to acknowledge that what happened was a very bad thing and should not happen again.  But that's what this service yesterday was about wasn't it?

I agree OST - it was a terrible thing that happened in the past - laws for abolition were passed hundreds of years ago - which IMHO acknowledged how wrong it was - ie it was made illegal.  It is good to commemorate the end of slavery - the same way you commemorate the end of war - but aside from denouncing slavery as wrong it seems something of a hollow apology to say sorry for something that ancesters did so long ago.

it was a terrible thing but, those that suffered are dead along with those that caused the suffering.
todays ancestors have benefited from there forfathers torment imo.
that as you know was my point.

 


Cool! Does that mean when the last veterans of World war 1 and 2 have died we can forget about them? Maybe then when I turn on the telly on remembrance Sunday to watch footy highlights I won't be confronted with sombre looking politicians standing around a memorial statue. I don't really give a fuck if it was 100 0r a 1000 years ago, suffering on that scale shouldn't be forgotten. I mean I still get upset that the dinosaurs are extinct. Stupid fucking asteroids!


remembering the dead is different to asking for apologies.


Fair enough but I was abit miffed by your ' they're all dead now and their descendants should be thankful cos they lead better lives as a result of slavery ' post. 3 cheers for slavery! Maybe in future we could remember the dead by having a big party and giving each other presents? Really push the boat out and celebrate what a positive effect slavery had on African people.

I'm sure it's what they would've wanted.

i honestly think the ancestors of the black slaves living in britian live better lives today because of slavery than what they would have if their forfathers hadn't been brought here years ago.
think about it, they'd more than likely be living in poverty,possibly starving and  living in mud huts .no medicine ect,ect.

yes slavery was bad but it aint anybody around todays fault is it?
they should be thankful of the lives they now are able to live and leave history in the past


I think spacey's misunderstood you here. You're saying that we should invite all the descendent of slaves who still live in sub-standard conditions in Africa to come and live in Britain, where they can benefit from all our advances which were made out of a result of their ancestors suffering. Right?

That would be ace.

You wanker Millom, my great great grandad was an afro carribean slave, and his wife was a sex slave in Sheffield.  People like you who want to brush history beneath the rug make me sick.

It's about time this country paid for treating us blacks so badly over the years.

Also I should be due a huge compensation cheque for injuries received during the battle of Falkirk, Culloden, Flodden Field.....

 
Fuck off you sheep stealer!!
