should all western countries apologise to and compensate all former slaves?

i don't think we should, asking for an apology is like the british asking the scandanvians to apologise for what the vikings did, or asking the italians to say sorry for what the romans did, its just stupid, the people who are in power now do not own or condone the use of slaves so why should they apologise for somthing their great great great great great grandparents did?

it is a bad thing that happened yes i agree but why should we as people apologise.

I agree with you Brutus, and I'll add to it. No, we shouldn't apologise because why should I have to apologise for something I had nothing to do with. I've personally never owned a slave so why should I take on any responsibility for someone who did hundreds of years ago? Now, all Western nations are suppose to apologise for slavery? Maybe, at least as America goes, we should be apologising to the Native Americans for shafting them out of their land and way of life before we say "sorry" to anyone else. Slavery was and is wrong, but it also opened up doors and opportunities for decendants of slaves. This "slavery" card has been overplayed to the point of abuse, how many more apologies are we suppose to make?

Yeah, the holocaust WAS overplayed.
FEW jews are even alive now that have experienced the
concentration camps.
Most jews have never even seen them, and still freak
out. They bitch about it too much.
But do we go running around going
"APOLOGIZE, JESUS KILLERS!!!"
No, we don't.
Same for slavery. Hell, most slavery was allowed by the African rulers!!
The rulers would allow the 'white man' to take X number of people to
become slaves, in exchange of trade.
Edit: After reading this, I am compelled to post an edit.
I have NOTHING against jews, in fact, some of my
best friends are Jewish.

Who is going to apologize to me for holding my ancestors as slaves and buying their children for dog meat? (Rome is gone)

Kinda reminds me about Palestinians who bitch whenever the topic is Israel comes up, yet some have never even set foot, if not all. I'd understand their parents maybe, but not them. And teh Sudanes and Iraqis I know have NEVER bitched about their countries.

Pay compensation to the victims or children of the victims (e.g. Germany to Jews) but anyone who thinks we should pay money to the ancestors of slaves who have in absolutly no way suffered due to slavery is an idiot

We should admit our mistake but not compensate.

I figure we admitted to our mistakes when we slaughtered 650,000 americans in the process of ending slavery.

We've already admitted to these mistakes, time and time again.

Ditto. Nazi Germany is picked so much at after its destruction that I want to accuse Moses for destroying 5 Medeanite kingdoms in a row, killing their families, raping their virgins and taking them as wives, amd despoiling their temples. Palestinian Genocide lol.

Jews are as filthy as every Evolution-Damned corrupt nation in the world, including my own. No exceptions, no "chosen people", no Ufo alike Jahwehs. But the world shows them as pure victims, and this disgusts me.

Note: 2 of my best friends are Jewish.

Both halal I do and haram,
In this incomplete world of a sham,
Neither Pagan I am, nor Musselman!

Wanderer, idolater, worshipper of fire,
Come even though you have broken your vows a thousand times,
Come, and come yet again.
Ours is not a caravan of despair

I am completly pro-compensation. No less than $1000 for every day they spent as slaves. All surviving former slaves, please form an orderly line.

Didn't the idea of punishing the decnedants of a crime die out centuries ago? I would appeciate it if someone could point me in the direction of their side of the argument, because I'm having trouble thinking up any justification at all.

Haha, I thought you just made a very very racist joke.

I thought you said:
I am completely pro-compensation. No less than $1000 for every day they spent as slaves. All descendants of slaves, please form an orderly line.

The Spartans did that to their slaves. Just that the people that got in line never got out of line.....they died.
