> When the West pays reparations is when we can act as if everyone is on equal footing. Except we won't be. Even if the west pays trillions to Africa we won't suddenly be equal economically. So How much? Like do you have a practical implementation or proposal. And who do you give the money to in dictatorships? Or what about colony refugees or descendants who now reside in the west. Should we tax differently based on race to offset the initial sins? How far back do you go? Reparations on a national scale is a completely impractical idea, and will not actually aid the people you imagine. The money would be better spent on integrating the world, creating more trade, and indeed sending a lot of money to the old colonies. Just not under the marker of colonial restitution, which is actually patronizing.
