--> @ShilaSo why does one group of people have to make financial reparations and another group only have to apologise.Seems like racist greed to me.Apologies are cheap and usually meaningless.It really is just about Blacky getting one over on Whitey isn't it?And the "British" whosoever they might be, were enslaved so many times in their history, where does one start with reparations.It really is just about Blacky v Whitey for cash, isn't it?Be honest
For starters the British claim by colonizing countries they contributed more to modernizing them than benefitted from the revenue they collected as taxes.
Countries the British colonized were very divided which made it easy for the British to conquer and colonize. And by doing so they also united those countries.
At the end of the colonial era the British withdrew and the colonies gained their independence.
some see that as a win win outcome.
But America is very different. The white settlers stole the land from the Native Indians and then brought in African slaves to work and develop those stolen lands. At the end they refuse to return the land to the Native Indians or pay the black slaves for their labour.
That is why blacks are demanding reparation for the 300 years of slavery and exploitation of blacks.
