Slave descendants to sue Lloyd's
Descendants of black American slaves are to sue Lloyd's of London for insuring ships used in the trade
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3578863.stm
To be honest, I think that this is more about bringing the information to the masses. These big organisations are big because they made their money off the backs (and misery) of other people......the slave trade!
I only have to walk around Glasgow to see the main streets in the City Centre were named after the big merchents of Glasgow........who allso made their cash off of transporting tobacco......grown by and shipped by Slaves.

Re: Slave descendants to sue Lloyd's
sorry but i think this is a pile of ****. I dont see why 18th century slave trade has had an effect on their descendants live.
It is just more people going mad and suing whoever they can. I am getting sick of it. If it was that important, the parents of the claimants, or perhaps their grandparents, would have taken some action.

Re: Slave descendants to sue Lloyd's
I'm thinking of sueing the Romans for invading England.
What did the Romans ever do for us.......?

Actually, for that you might be able to.
Doubt you'd be allowed to win though

Re: Slave descendants to sue Lloyd's
i'm sure if all black people in this country were rich with good jobs you wouldn't see this lawsuit, it's black people with no job/poorly paid job and a huge chip on their shoulder.
they want to blame someone else for their problems not themselves.
it another part of the blame culture.

Actually, I suppose that William, or at least his grandfather, was an illegal immigrant in Normandy.
