I literally don't understand the issue with most of this shit. I mean I get that some people are just bitching about muh white man bad.
But I'm willing to bet 80-90% of these artifacts IRL were found in abandoned dumps or dug up by the whites who actually gave a damn.
By all means, if white people stole into town in the middle of the night, murdered guards who were protecting the cultural icons, and stole it away, maybe it should be returned. But getting mad that I dug through your trash and found something nice is pathetic
Some black museum employee stole a bracelet from ancient Egypt and sold it. Not to a private collector who would appreciate it's historic value, no it was sold to someone who ultimately melted it down for whatever metal it was made of (can't remember if it was gold or silver). Priceless artifact, reduced to a couple thousand dollars worth of scrap.
Well they wuz kangz so they have the right to melt down historical artifacts, it's not like they were evil white men preserving them for future generations.
Because it's the same reason someone gets mad at you when they sell you something they don't realize the value of, or don't realize the value of after you work on it. They feel slighted like it had an objective value before you did something to it. it's resentment only.
Africa is this magical place that the White Man ravaged, stole from and ruined, but also they will never ever ever step foot there or even pretend to want to return to any of those cultures or traditions (even the fake ones made in America like Kwanzaa). So in order to look like they care, they need a cause to scream about while staying in their comfy little white cities.
And so, they fake giving a shit about these artifacts as if there is even a place to return them to that won't be destroyed in two weeks.
Literally: you didn't care and considered your own history garbage, and now you want free money and think it was stolen.

They're PETA for artifacts: Better to kill it than have it be in a happy, productive, safe place.

this whole thread can be summarized as "nigger logic" tbh
Its the standard "Western Negro Complaint."
