This story is priceless. While stewing in her privileged white self-guilt trip over her families past slave holder status in Grenada, they decided to pledge a paltry $120,000.
That's right. A family who has made basically billions on the back of their sugar plantation slave holding is only willing to cough up $120,000.
If you were serious, you would hand over ALL your wealth created on the sweaty backs of slaves. But alas, leftists are never about reality. Just maintaining their status quo.
Family of BBC reporter Laura Trevelyan pledges to pay slavery reparations
A British family who owned more than 1,000 slaves in the 19th century in Grenada has pledged to pay $120,000 in reparations.
BBC reporter Laura Trevelyan and her family announced the restitution to establish a community fund for economic development on the island nation of Grenada, where their ancestors owned six sugar plantations.
“The Trevelyan family is apologizing to the people of Grenada for the role our ancestors played in enslavement on the island, and engaging in reparations,” the New York-based journalist tweeted Saturday, along with a link to an article in the Guardian explaining the move.
Forty-two members of the Trevelyan clan agreed last week to sign a letter of apology for enslaving captive Africans on the island, according to the report.
“Slavery was and is unacceptable and repugnant. Its damaging effects continue to the present day. We repudiate our ancestors’ involvement in it,” the letter read, while also calling on the UK to formally apologize.
