SIR Lenny Henry has argued that every black Briton should be paid reparations for slavery.
The 67-year-old has previously argued that a whopping £18 trillion should be given to Caribbean nations by Britain.
Payments to the nations, according to the racism advocate, should be made in acknowledgement of Britain’s historic role in the slave trade.
The comedian has co-written a book on reparations with TV executive Marcus Walker, The Big Payback.
The text outlines why black people living in Britain and not just those living in the Caribbean states should receive compensation.
Jamaica, Antigua, Nevis, Barbados and St Kitts were under British control and connected Britain to Western Africa and the Americas.
The countries formed a key part of the triangular slave trade between the countries and Britain.
It puts forward the argument that all black British people should receive reparations.
