I cannot pretend not to be thrilled that this is happening. The AU, who should also be looking at paying us reparations instead of seeing how many colonial barriers they can place to our returning to our ancestral lands, refusing us right of return via automatic sovereignty. But obviously this was never part of the plan. Our Afrikan cousins who never once checked with us personally to see and hear what our ancestors experienced in the west, never once checked with us personally to hear what we are still experiencing at the hands of black Judas bloodlines, never once tried to reconnect us to our tribes, never once mentioned our Afrikan inheritance but were willing to involve themselves in the Mia Mutt fraud, despite warnings to stay away from any reparations scam devised by the Bajan Poison, a corrupt dangerous liar, who already divvied up the reparations she will never get in her hands between herself and her corrupt thieving minorities partner in crime, and had no plans whatsoever to see it in the hands of the descendants of the enslaved but planned to sell the people to arab slavers. In this case, the AU will get exactly what they deserve.
Lloyd’s of London to invest $65 million following slavery report

LONDON, Nov 8 (Reuters) – Lloyd’s of London (SOLYD.UL) will invest 40 million pounds ($49.6 million) in regions affected by the transatlantic slave trade, it said on Wednesday, after a report showed the commercial insurance market had strong links to the trade.
Lloyd’s will also spend around 12 million pounds on a programme to improve recruitment and progression for Black and other ethnic minority employees in the commercial insurance market, including bursaries for Black university students, it said in a statement.
Lloyd’s formed part of a sophisticated network of financial interests that made the slave trade possible, according to research published by Black Beyond Data, based at Johns Hopkins University.
The research was funded by the Mellon Foundation, and Lloyd’s said it had no editorial control over the findings.
The 335-year old insurance market apologised in 2020 for its role in the 18th and 19th century slave trade.
“We’ve asked ourselves how we could have the greatest impact,” Lloyd’s Chairman Bruce Carnegie-Brown told Reuters. “We can’t change the wrongs of the past, but we can make a difference today.”
Lloyd’s said its Central Fund will invest $25 million in a bond administered by the African Development Bank and $25 million in a bond administered by the Inter-American Development Bank. The bonds will support the UN Sustainable Development Goal of “reduced inequality”.

To make things even worse. The Bajan Poison after running around the continent for 5 years setting up another enslavement trap for us, still refuses to put Afrikan history in the schools in Barbados. There is a very good reason for us to distrust all black leaders and this little charade by the bajan scam artist and the AU, has emphasized that reason glaringly.
