You’ll never guess who’s behind “Championing Reparations for Africans and People of African Descent”: George Soros’ Open Society Foundations.
The move underlined a historic commitment to pursuing the “reparations owed to Africans both on the continent and in the diaspora, acknowledging the profound harm caused by the transatlantic slave trade, slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism.”
The growing momentum on the need for reparations stands as a testament to decades of tireless scholarship, advocacy, and organizing in the pursuit of justice for Africans and people of African descent.
But what about continued slavery of blacks by Muslims in Mauritania, Sudan, Algeria and Libya? And the unaddressed anti-black racism in the Arab world?
Also, advocates for reparations say that reparations are not about charity, but about justice. Are African nations going to give reparations and aid for the massacre of Christians on the continent? According to a Fox News report:
Christianity is in deadly crisis in more than half of Africa’s 54 countries, sources say. Christian groups contacted by Fox News Digital say the faithful are being persecuted, killed and displaced in 28 countries on the continent.
The globalist left relentlessly enacts policies that undermine Western society from within by rejecting its culture and traditions, condemning long past wrongs, exonerating every group from their past (and current) wrongs, flinging open the borders to unvetted mass immigration that is certain to destroy any society, and pauperizing the West, both via the latter — which is unsustainable economically — and now the preposterous idea of reparations.
An additional factor: African nations are overwhelmed and savaged by civil strife, ISIS and other jihad warfare, government corruption and tribal wars. So where does anyone imagine that reparations might go? Into whose hands?
Almost every nation state is founded on conquest. Many engaged in colonialism, not least Arab and Muslim states. Yet only Western colonialism is the perpetual scapegoat. When will leftists attack countries such as China, which was founded on the murder and persecution of tens of millions by Mao Zedong in 1949 and thereafter as he established the People’s Republic of China, or Islamic countries thats conquered the Middle East by the sword and still persecute minorities and wage jihad against Israel?
Western countries which were founded on the Judeo-Christian ethic became bastions of human rights, where diverse groups are welcomed to enter and prosper.
Victimology pandering and a soft bigotry of low expectations prevent people from having the will to thrive.
African leaders need to clean up their own internal chaos.
“African leaders push for reparations for justice, dignity and healing, Reuters, February 16, 2025:
African leaders gathered in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia for the annual African Union Summit, this year themed “Justice for Africans and People of African Descent Through Reparations.”
Addressing delegates at the summit, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said the demand for reparations is about justice for Africa and restoration of the “dignity of millions…

Well, Alex Soros can start funding these projects w/ his father’s own money, rather than ours! Maybe he can pay those repairations, maybe w/ the help of Bill Gates and other woke billionaires
skeptiker says
Korrekt.
Rob Porter says
Tell African leaders and George Soros to go to hell. For decades Western countries poured billions of foreign dollars into Africa and Africa did very poorly with all that money, more than half of it stolen by crooked leaders and their friends.
The largest slave trade was conducted by Arab slavers who took vastly more Africans into slavery than did Europeans and they are still conducting slavery. Further, about 95% of African slaves were captured and sold into slavery by Africans, so idiot George Soros should start with suing African countries. A good lawyer working with good historians can sink these morons with simple historical realities.

Sounds like a great plan, but your money where your mouth is Soros and Gates.

African leaders push for ‘reparations for justice, dignity and healing,’ with help from Soros

Reparations–for what? The free West is no threat to Africa, and we have been funding them for decades now.

Let them taste what Soros and Gates offers…

10 times as many slaves were involving the TransAfrican trade than the trans Atlantic trade, and virtually all were worked to death. Therefore no descendants to complain 200 years later.

Reparations from the evil colonialist? The Africans were sold by other Africans to the slave traders. The slave traders did not just land and grab people. The black slave traders were instrumental in selling their fellows, aided by the Arabs who captured slaves and marched them to the East coast.
This is not to say the slave traders were innocent but let Africans own up to their own bad deeds.
