Noone should be punished for the actions of their forefathers.

If the argument turns to people currently benefitting from the slaver actions of their ancestors then consider the following;

The slaves came from Sierra Leone, Guinea, Ghana,the Ivory Coast, Nigeria and Cameroon.

At least some of the people with African descent who currently live in Barbados are likely living a better life than their cousins in some of these countries.

Point being that while slavery is vile, we need to move past it, it happened, Africans were enslaved by Europeans, 2000 years prior to this the Romans enslaved entire tribes of hundreds of thousands of people.
