Yes and it's hella colonialist to not pay massive reparations immediately.
I think that start paying reparations is quite pointless. Imagine all countries in only Europe having to pay reparations not only to their ex-colonies but also among them for past wars.
Colonialism is pure garbage, but just paying won't fix nothing. We need to learn history about how it was and why it's bad to never repeat the same mistakes, or at least know when your government is doing shit.
