It would look a lot better without the gratuitous greed

Reparations and getting what one is owed for being wronged is not gratuitous greed.

Reparations are what started the second world war, Germany was in financial disarray but still had to pay reparations for the first world war. Then Hitler showed up and blamed you guys for the whole deal. Germany recovered financially when Hitler took power. Reparation makes sense if you're making amends to those directly affected, making reparations to people whose ancestors were wronged makes no sense, things are fine now, you can achieve your potential with no one standing in your way because of your race. so instead of moaning about how bad it used to be for your people, you could speak for those who are currently being wronged. ...............Palestinians come to mind

Nope.

Germany hardly paid any of their repatriations for the war and they were written off. Meanwhile Germany took repatriations from Russia, who surrendered to them.

It was the guilt of losing the first world war which drove Germany to a second war and repatriations were just a political football at the time. Even without them the same thing would have happened.

the lesson is might makes right, you need to get powerful ennough that you don't have to pay reparations. Or get powerful enough that you can make others pay reparations. Reparations have no connection to anything owed if it's ancestors and not the people that were wronged. It's just taking money. Black people might and probably will end up getting them, due to decades of playing smart political games and allying with jews who want to divide and conquer.
