Remember 100-year-old former guards at WW2 concentration camps are still being hunted and prosecuted, and Germany continues to pay compensation to Holocaust survivors. Haiti was forced to compensate French slave owners and Kenya paid to get back stolen land from British settlers.
Yet when the prospect of justice for historical crimes odieros have committed against miros, suddenly someone will suggest it is living in the past, asking for handouts, and we should let bygones be bygones. Sorry, but I am not boarding.
