France because they dumped Arab immigrants in ghettoes yes, but that had to do with a racist segregation policy, and this is the same reason certain American cities have had to mow struggkebto undo this.
If life is so great in Spain then I demand reparations.

Jews and those of Jewish descent do indeed get reparations from Spain and Portugal. Blacks and Natives get reparations from Colombia, Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador. Germany paid out money to Israel and those descended from Holocaust victims can get German, Polish, or Austrian citizenship. Lots of reparations going around.

Why the Vatican? That makes no sense. The countries that Mr. Ryu listed the ones to focus on. Once those countries finished pillaging our villages, religion was all we had left.

The church wanted non Christians dead or forced to become Christian. The church was responsible for the genocide of Jews and Muslims. The church was responsible for the conquest and enslavement of Natives and Africans and Asians.

Please show where Brazil is paying out slavery reparations. They have a "commission" set up to look into it, but nobody has been talking money yet.

I'm curious about Ecuador, as the only issues I've been aware of were the abuses under Cordero in the mid-80's and the Texaco oil case.

Holocaust victims are easily identified, confirmed and some are still alive - and most of their descendants certainly are.

Contrast this with reparations for slavery which officially ended over 150 years ago. Unofficially of course it continued a lot longer.

And as slavery started in the early 1600's before the US was even a country then there should be reparations paid by the Netherlands, the UK, Spain and France at a MINIMUM to cover the periods through 1776.

As I'd said elsewhere, I'm OK with investigating reparations, but the assumption if they are paid in any form is that the slate is wiped clean and all affirmative action programs will immediately end.

Wait, are you serious about this? How would you call for reparations from the nation-states themselves, which have constantly changed governments, but not call for anything from the Vatican? I'm not necessarily on the side of reparations, but it'd be odd to ask for reparations from the nation-states and not from one of the main driving forces behind colonization.

It was done by man. Not by a "church." The money that is owed to us has been funnelled into the governments and businesses of the geographies these people came from. Not the "church" they were a part of. Religion is nothing more than a tool used during conquest. Those Spaniard hunks pensions that you are wining and dining off of belongs to me.

I want to go after the actually money. And for that you need to go after the offspring of the actual conquerors. This money has been moved into the governments and businesses that support conquerors offspring. Their ECB and and Bank of England owes us a lot of money. Money that the Vatican doesn't have. Fake white progressives throw this church blaming stuff on us as a decoy. We need to go to the source of the root cause.
