if anyone was curious of how much france needs to pay back:

They approximated that in total 112 million francs was paid in indemnity, which when adjusted for the inflation rate would be $560 million in 2022, but considering that if it had been invested in the Haitian economy instead, it could be valued at $115 billion.

(from Wikipedia)

and obviously, this is only from the debt. reparations for the enslavement of Haitians will cost much, much more

to unite the right, all you have to do is say "so, we all hate Black people and immigrants, right?"

do you still benefit from those wrongs? if so, yes, you should pay for them

its surreal that we’re asked to be sympathetic towards the people exploiting immigrants and not, yknow, the immigrants themselves

the US is easily the worst but most of the imperial core is complicit too
