Jamaica to petition King Charles over slavery reparations

Comments

1. ☕️ Rayan: about time someone put pressure on them to own up
2. Junekarim: interesting they're going straight to the top like that
3. Diazdane: seems like they want to push the conversation forward in a way that's hard to ignore now
4. Luna: how does he plan on answering this
5. Ashen Kite: that's some serious weight to pass on to a monarch
6. Dusk Reaper: serves them right that King Charles has to deal with this
7. Noelreyesxo: this is a big deal for those islands and their history, let's see how the British respond to this
8. Mayaibrahim: this is the real consequence of colonialism, not some statue being taken down
9. Hollow Nova: unfortunately history repeats itself, not lessons from it
10. Dane: something's not sitting right when countries are still getting bailed out centuries after the fact
11. Noelibrahimxo: what's the catch here, that this is suddenly an issue now?
12. Quiet Nomad: I'm not buying the idea that it's as straightforward as just asking King Charles to clarify things. Doesn't Jamaica have a record of British colonial rule and slavery in its archives somewhere
13. Miarossixo: that's some real moral leadership coming from Jamaica on this one, hope Charles takes it seriously
14. Bruno: I've gotta say, I'm really interested to see how this develops, but my mind keeps going back to the parallels with modern-day systemic injustices in some sports cultures - not
15. Irisa: that's actually kinda surprising to see dw covering this, given their stance on other colonial legacy issues in europe
16. 🍁 Ava Ellis: that's a pretty bold move from the jamaican government. hope it actually goes somewhere this time
17. Kaibianchi: y'all really think a petition's gonna get him to cough up some actual cash?
18. Mirage Shard: hard to separate the two issues now, can't believe that's still a question
