    Default Indigenous leaders demand King Charles apologise for colonialism

    Indigenous leaders demand King Charles apologise for colonialism

    04/05/2023

    Indigenous leaders from a string of former British colonies on Thursday urged King Charles to swiftly apologise for "centuries of racism" and the "legacy of genocide" perpetrated by the crown.

    In a staunchly worded letter that could sour the build-up to this weekend's coronation, Indigenous representatives from 12 Commonwealth nations also called for financial reparations and the return of stolen cultural treasures.

    The letter was signed by leaders from Australia -- where Indigenous people were massacred by British colonisers and forced off their lands -- as well as several Caribbean nations once plundered for slaves.

    The group said they had banded together to help their people "recover from centuries of racism, oppression, colonialism and slavery".

    Although it is true that the UK has committed crimes in the past (and there are not a few) it is also true that what happened is behind centuries and there is little point in asking for forgiveness since it will not change the past.

    Those filthy savages should be eternally grateful to the British for introducing them to civilization. As far as primitive inferiors like them could comprehend civilization at least.

    They're not indigenous leaders, they're part-indigenous loudmouths and rent-seekers.

    They already get copious financial reparations every week through welfare, and they had no cultural treasures to steal.
    Spoiler!

    Maybe insights into what kind of cultures ‘we’ have been civilizing and how have ‘we’ been civilizing 'them' is more of the question here … ?
