It has hired the British law firm Leigh Day, which recently won compensation for hundreds of Kenyans tortured by the British colonial government during the Mau Mau rebellion of the 1950s.


Surviving Kenyans got about $4K. I don't see countries that depend on tourism and part of the common wealth really pursuing this grievance with any energy. many of them are also tax havens for wealthy.

"The British government sincerely regrets that these abuses took place and that they marred Kenya's progress towards independence."

Mr Hague said 5,228 victims would receive payments totalling £19.9m following an agreement with lawyers acting for the victims, who have been fighting for compensation for a number of years.

The compensation amounts to about £3,000 per victim and applies only to the living survivors of the abuses that took place.

where did I say they were inherently better?

Like I said piint me to concrete examples of the proper usage of that money by these carribean islands who are known for corrupt landscapes. Abundance doesn't mean that everyone gets to reap the benefit. That's the problem with you militants throw out reason for some fake problack narrative without thinking long term.

whites are corrupt but they still run semi prosperous countries where the average citizen can work and there's some kind of government protection.

If I was injured I would rather put on a money stack rather than an ice pack on it. Our asses are still sore from the whips on our ancestors back ,please pay for our medical expenses. I am having ancestral flashbacks.

While they cripple other countries with economic sanctions that don't want to get into bed with them if not outright occupying said countries and raping the natural resources.
