Comment on Caribbean nations set to demand royal family makes reparations for slave trade

Ahh, it's what I thought. It's not about truth and justice, it's about shaking people down for money.

Do you think fining people who have wronged others is 'shaking people down for money'.

Stupid comment. So, using your logic, it would be OK to fine you for something your great great great grandfather did. I'm confident that not a single 'internet couch activist' would accept that.

If I had inherited insane wealthy due to the horrible actions of my ancestors, then losing part of it to repay the victims of that tragedy is perfectly fine. It isn't like I earned it through my actions, and I would expect that if someone stole something from me and gave it to someone else then I should still get it back.
Way to be selfish though, hope it lets you sleep at night.

If you only go after the people with money, then yes. Then it’s not about justice or morality at all. It’s about money.
