There is no commonly agreed staute of limitations on murder.
How about massacre of Indians? Or, mass murder conducted and bringing diseases? Massive illegal immigration? Enslavement of Africans? The sins of the European via colonialism are the platinum standard for horrors of all time. Is there anything they can do or are they rightly despized and condemned to living "hell"?
Should everyone on earth who is not clearly European or has less than 1/8th blood entangled in Judeo-Christian Europe be free to kill roughly 10 such Europeans (more than 1/8th and of any age or sex) as payment for the (past) mass murders by Europeans? These would be people who, were it not for the crimes, would not have lived? The proposal beckons consideration. Time to pay the piper.

History is now.
Sounds like some people are runnng from justice. No crimes are freebies. Maybe a few of those surrying to protest are the same lame ones who benefit(ted) from the crimes but are twisted by any justice.
Revenge is when you go to war in Iraq; justice is when the murderers hang and are gutted like trout.
No one "gets away" with it, unless they are let go and then welcomed to the family reunion. Listen to that pipe of justice and the massacred Indians laughing?

Everyone that lived 100 years ago or longer are now dead. Any crimes they committed went with them to be judged by God. No one alive today is responsible for others decisions made over 100 years ago. Thank you.

So are you saying that if a person commits a crime and gets away with it, you can hunt down and kill that person's children, grandchildren, etc. Sounds a bit barbaric to me.
Lot of atrocities happened in the past. That is true. However, some of them were done by people who died a long time ago and the people living today have not committed these crimes. Do you want to punish them for their crimes.
Some of these crimes were committed by the victims as well. Enslavement of Africans, could not be done unless other Africans had joined in and helped capture and imprison their fellow people.
If your goal was to perhaps frighten some Europeans and Euro- Americans then you have failed. All you will accomplish is to make some people angry at you and others to regard you as a fool.
Looking at your added info, I am now thinking that you are just a bloodthirsty person. You want to kill and murder and destroy. You do not care what the excuse is. You will find some reason to justify the carnage you are wanting. Read some Aesop -- "Any excuse will serve a tyrant."

Gee! What narrow scope of history you have! Apperently you and your teachers have failed in the area of enlightment.
Where did the white slave traders get their African Slaves? From African slave owners! Did you know that the orgins of HIV/AIDS is directly linked to Africa? It is! So we need to include all black people, especially the guys because the census tells us half of them are on the down low spreading the disease fastest, in that death by the spread of disease. Speaking of massive illegal immigration, we will need to punish the Mongolians too, for they have wandered as far as central Europe, China, and attempted to take Japan. As far as our "massacre of the indians", they attacked the Jamestown Settlers first, not the other way around. Colonialism and enslavement? every race, color, sex, creed, and anything else you want to throw into it has gone through this at some point in history, some groups are better than others. A good example is Caucasians and Orientals being nation builders, from our humble tribal roots. Compared to sub-Saharan and rain forest africans, who couldn't rise to the occassion. Did you know the "N word" is not a racist term? It comes from the Latin language. It means black. Now put the fried chicken down and read more books!

Who is going to be the authority here? Who gets decide how much each individual has benefitted from the conglomerate sum of all past crimes, and how much each person has suffered from said crimes? How will you account for every action of every individual in the past?
There is simply no possible way to acheive the sort of equality/justice/whatever you're talking about.

First of all, my ancestors were Icelandic and they were Heathen (not Christian) and had nothing to do with most of the things you mentioned.
You cannot blame an entire race of people for crimes of some...particularly when they happened hundreds of years ago and all those people are dead. No one currently alive has commit those crimes.
What you are advocating is genocide, you are just as bad if not worse than the people you claim to hate.

Yep. they should charter massive cruise ships and send all the "mass illegal Africans" back to their homeland!
You're question is as absurd as my statement is! Based on what you say, the current Germans should be termed as Nazis and we should be still at war with Japan, heck , and even England!
Grow up, get over the past and look towards the future!

Hmmm.... does that mean the jews get to kill the egyptians for enslavement? And the palestinians can kill the jews... *Everybody* gets to kill a european... there won't be anybody left... every ethnicity has members of it that have done wrong...
sad thing is, there really are people who think like that...

Okay, so something that one of my ancestors might have done to someone hundreds of years ago is justification for criminal acts against me. Every society on earth did bad things, not just Europeans. So why not let everyone kill someone different than they? This thinking is what has caused many of our problems throughout world history.

I think many of us can agree that the crimes of our ancestors were horrendous. What more can we do though beyond working to assure equality for all people? Promotion of violence in the name of revenge does nothing to assist such a goal.
