Comment on Caribbean nations set to demand royal family makes reparations for slave trade
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 year agoThere’s a actual difference here in two ways. Firstly racialized transatlantic chattel slavery was a massive break from the slavery that had been practiced before in the form of those three adjectives. But also the European mainland suing Scandinavia for reparations, the entirety of Europe, Middle East, and North Africa suing Italy for reparations, and Iraq and Iran suing Iraq for reparations are materially different from some of the poorest countries in the world suing the royal family of a wealthy nation that still has an empire for reparations.

So the morality of the exercise hinges on the wealth of the accused?
