Ask the African Tribal Chiefs for compensation.
Given that the last slaves taken from Africa to Guyana arrived by 1807 with some others illegally trafficked maybe up to the 1820s, who are these "tribal chiefs" that you speak of. They are long gone as are the kingdoms that they ruled.

The same can be said about the people who enslaved them. The past generations who suffered have long gone. The current generation never suffered. Put this compensation crap to rest.

Why should every black in Guyana be given compensation? Does this mean as long as black people live in Guyana they will be compensated? Who is to say future generations will not make the same claim? Every Afro Guyanese grandparent, father, mother, child etc will make a claim. They will own Guyana outright. What happens to the Natives and other races who helped build Guyana? They get katahar?
