The Big Payback.

from The Market Place Of Ideas · host The Market Place Of ideas Podcast

On today's episode we are talking about reparations. Should the Great,great,great,great descendants of slave owners be made to pay for the sins of their forefathers? For example "Barbados might come down on the family of Oscar-nominated English actor Benedict Cumberbatch for reparations. According to The Telegraph, relatives of the Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness star face the prospect of paying reparations due to their ancestors formerly owning a sugar plantation in Barbados. In 1728, Cumberbatch’s fifth great-grandfather, Abraham Cumberbatch, bought the island’s Cleland plantation, passing down ownership until 1834, when slavery was abolished."So we get into it today is it right or even morally responsible to go after the descendants of slave owners. Barbados".https://www.okayplayer.com/news/barbados-benedict-cumberbatch-slave-trade.html.
