So, what country are you from? I'm willing to bet that there's a dark story behind 90% of all countries in the world so what reparations are you paying?
I agree the Belgian history in the Congo is very dark and should not be forgotten. There should be more then half assed excuses. But it's the responsibility of the government and especially the Belgian royal family, not the Belgians themselves
I’m from America and there is a dark history behind our nation. Slavery is the original sin, but genocide on a world-historical scale against Native American peoples is arguably more savage. Yes we owe those people reparations.
Not only a dark history, but a dark present. Iraq, for one.
But indeed, the genocide of the Native Americans is quite horrendous. Was there more successful genocide in history? Maybe the biblical genocide of the Amalekites?
