On 3 August 1835, somewhere in the City of London, two of Europe’s most famous bankers came to an
agreement with the chancellor of the exchequer. Two years earlier, the British government had
passed the Slavery Abolition Act, which outlawed slavery in most parts of the empire. Now it was
taking out one of the largest loans in history, to finance the slave compensation package
required by the 1833 act. Nathan Mayer Rothschild and his brother-in-law Moses Montefiore agreed
to loan the British government £15m, with the government adding an additional £5m later. The
total sum represented 40% of the government’s yearly income in those days, equivalent to some
£300bn today.
The payments on the loan finally ended in 2015. Now it's time for the colonies to pay their fair
share in reparations for the slaves for another 180 years. Sorry, can't go to the moon, can't
build a space elevator or orbital platform. Gotta borrow more money fo dem programs and pay dem
niggahs dey reparations.
