The lawsuit will demand reparations from the governments of Britain, France and the Netherlands
Fourteen Caribbean nations haveresolved to sue their former colonizers — Britain, France and the Netherlands — for lingering harms that they attribute to the slave trade.

The AP reports that the leaders of the Caribbean Community, a regional consortium, adopted a 10-point plan that would seek an official apology, a cancelation of debts and assistance for cultural and educational institutions.

The regional consortium has hired British human rights firm Leigh Day to pursue the case. Leigh Day previously secured $21.5 million for Kenyans who were tortured under Britain’s colonial era government.

I've never seen it, so you might as well link up the other ones and I'll merge if that's the case. Second, if people keep intentionally trying to derail people's threads they're going to eventually just start getting zero tolerance bans from threads instead of the benefit of the doubt.

I'm a c00n because I asked you what your ideological father figure thought about the article you posted?

Anyway...

"The idea that certain countries should pay reparations to compensate for the ills of slavery and colonialism cannot be taken seriously. First, it's clearly impossible to determine exactly who was harmed and who benefitted from past actions, with so many generations having passed since the times in question. The vast majority of Americans for example, have no connection whatsoever to slave owners. Furthermore, who decides what wrongs are corrected? If we go back 100 or 200 years, why not 500 years? Once reparations lawsuits are allowed, the potential liabilities are endless"-Ron Paul

Statute of limitations. Also how will they determine who is going to pay? Do mixed people pay or get paid? It's a stupid idea

 

[theworldismine13]

I don't think it's a bad idea in theory, the problem is that these countries already receive financial aid from said European countries
