  1. Good…are they going to return the works of art looted during the Napoleonic Campaigns of Italy,as well?

    Or if taken from black people=racism and colonialism = looted => return

    If taken from a neighbour = war trophy = shut the f*ck up,you don’t have enough melanin to make us feel uncomfortable => they stay

    I’m fine that those works of art stay exposed in Paris.I know they will be treated with care and millions of people will have the opportunity to see them…

    But I don’t like double standards

  2. I wonder if they would have been preserved as objects of value if they hadn’t been taken?

    >About 90% of Africa’s cultural heritage is now believed to be in Europe.

    Is that because so little was considered to be cultural heritage when it was left in Africa?
