Just to be clear, when the reparations are paid will those affected go back to their ancestorial homeland?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did Jewish people go 'back' to their ancestorial homeland after they received reparations?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Erm? Yes?

Does that change your point? Whether they ALL went back to Israel?

What is your point?

Jews weren't given reparations for being removed from their homeland though...

We should consider Australia differently. The reason being we were still taking children away from their parents until the 1970s.
Also there has never been a treaty giving them ' rights'.

We’ve p!ssed it all up the wall so not really sure what we could give.

I’m in two minds about it tbh. Right wingers (a kind way to put what I really mean) will say ‘no’ in my experience.

However, we really did take the mick and took trillions out of India alone.

But on the flip side, how far back do we go?

We should 100% give back anything we have in museums though.

So it's cool for some of us to stay but the majority should 'go', to a place they have never been to before, if reparations were ever paid out? i'm just clarifying who should go where and who's allowed to stay?

Those who want reparations for their ancestors being enslaved and taken from their homelands should go back to their ancestorial homeland.
Those who don't want reparations can do what they like.

May I ask why they should go back? What’s the thinking behind that?

Robbing, I like you man, good football poster, but this comment is almost the complete opposite of what you were saying in a thread that regarded race.

you just appear to be agreeing with the mass's on JA606.. pretty weak if you ask me.

they tried that with Liberia.
the black americans who founded that country actually behaved similar to the whites in the USA:

"The Americo-Liberian settlers did not relate well to the indigenous peoples they encountered, especially those in communities of the more isolated "bush". The colonial settlements were raided by the Kru and Grebo from their inland chiefdoms. Encounters with tribal Africans in the bush often became violent. Believing themselves different from and culturally and educationally superior to the indigenous peoples, the Americo-Liberians developed as an elite minority that created and held on to political power. The Americo-Liberian settlers adopted clothing such as hoop skirts and tailcoats and generally viewed themselves as culturally and socially superior to indigenous Africans. Indigenous tribesmen did not enjoy birthright citizenship in their own land until 1904. Americo-Liberians encouraged religious organizations to set up missions and schools to educate the indigenous peoples."

Right, i don't think that's how it works though coz i am a British citizen, born and bred and if i was somehow awarded reparations, u say that i should then leave my home (England) and start a whole new life, in a place i've never been before because...i asked for something.

posted 9 hours, 51 minutes ago

You are British so you don't get reparations.

posted 9 hours, 50 minutes ago

Non of those examples are really comparable to Britain’s colonial era.

posted 9 hours, 50 minutes ago

Why do you think you, a British man, should get reparations for something that happened 200 years before your birth.

Robbing, can't be bothered looking through tjhreads to prove a point mate , you'll know tho, prob pretending not to, which is fair play I don't blame you - but was something along the lines of you insisting that if I was to say, 'oh you're from Jamaica, you must like jerk chicken, thats racist, but 'oh you're Italain, you mjust like Pasta isn;t racist in the slightest... your take was 'because of the history... so I have to ask, how far do you go back?

like I said, you'll fully know because you tend to agree with the mass's on race... not so much football, I get it, but its weak

A fair point. It also demonstrating the futility and inappropriateness of this venture for reparations. So far removed from the crime itself the reward doesn’t apply.

It’s getting some people that look a little bit like those who engaged in the slave trade (which was less than 50,000 people out of over 9,000,000 btw) to pay money to people who look a little bit like those who suffered from slavery. These generational guilt trips hold no water and never should do. It’s daft.
