Actually, I had an thought about reparations. Why not make certain very wealthy (American based) corporations create a financial 'reparations' pool of money. Use this money to free child slaves, I think it's the Red Cross that is currently running an operation something like this. Obviously issues of housing, education etc..would arise, but it seems fitting.
Bear in mind, I'm Mixed-West Indian (Toronto) so I may have be full of shit.
