Introduction

An Indian chief told Columbus that long before him, men with very dark skin came from the sea a strange paradox because the Genoese navigator did not seem too much emphasis to this revelation, but nevertheless reported in his diary on the third day, the presence of metal guanine - a mixture of gold, copper and silver - was introduced to Hispaniola by black business. And for the first time in Dakar at the World Festival of Negro Arts in 1966, Professor Wulthenau University of Mexico had formally terracotta statuettes dating from pre-Columbian times and represents all types known Negroid. Abu-Bakr II Mansa Musa's successor as head of the empire of Mali went about 1303 with an impressive expedition composed of 2000 boats loaded with half of food and water to cross the Atlantic. Its artisanal vessels were not equipped with rudders and compasses, he would have failed somewhere along the coast of pre-Columbian America. Although such historical reality has often been ignored because disturbing the emperor of Mali Abu-Bakr II and his expedition of black soldiers, many have discovered America centuries before Christopher Columbus and Amerigo Vespucci. What an irony, since the history of the Americas will be subsequently intimately linked to that of black people in an unprecedented human tragedy.

Discussion

In the debate on reparations, three prerequisites for the approach of the Afro-American slavery are legal, ideological and story (Howard, 2004, 823).

The first is a legal one.

If international legal instruments in force today say "limitations" when they say "crime against humanity" and they call the slave trade and slavery as crimes against humanity, the effects of a criminal and the other past and present, are barred (Campo & Teresa, 2004, 115).

The second is ideological.

The centuries-old legal permissibility of slavery did not mean his moral goodness, because if the law and morality converge sometimes in practice, their theoretical areas do not overlap.

The third is the story.

The name of reason Aristotle has lampooned in his time a few illustrious strangers who denied the existence of a "natural slavery" that Las Casas had condemned in his own who legitimized in the name of law, morality and the religion of the enslavement of Indians at home and that of blacks deported to prove that the historical consensus is not necessarily correct. (Sundiata, 2001, 46)

Once recalled these three prerequisites imposed by history, the question of the legitimacy of a requirement for legal redress for slavery of the great era of the slave trade and its negative consequences to this day is superfluous. One question required legally: how to fix?

The limitations are right as many of the beneficiaries are there, it is therefore urgent to argue that "how". This is achieved by formulating a rigorous two other questions by providing answers in harmony with the law and history, whose agreement with the ideology can read the law in the past and present, the history in this law (Darrity, 2003, 326).

For centuries these people had to toil to death, and they were never paid for their ...
