If you could undo just one injustice in history what would it be?

Answer 1

Patriarchal religions becoming dominant

Answer 2

I'd like to undo all of the injustices created by groups of people who throughout history have convinced themselves they have a divine right to oppress or to annihilate other people.Since Hitler is a favourite topic here, allow one to say that one has no problem with the right of Israel to exist, only with Zionism (a Jewish-supremacist organisation, no different from White or Black supremacists) because Zionism seems to be the origin all the current international hatred of one state or one religion against another, and caused terrorism which in turn created the anti-Muslim backlash in the west. In fact, humanity would be a lot further advanced if all of these things had been eradicated.

Answer 3

Everyone seems to be choosing tragedies like the holocaust so I'll nominate something different.


The 1999 Ryder cup when with Jose Maria Olazabel still to play his shot, all the American WaGs ran around the green in their heels in premature celebration.

That whole tournament was a disgrace to sport.

However I think the subsequent tourmanents - in the light of 9/11 are amazing tribute to the two continents and 1999 is just a bad blemish

Answer 4

I would undo the injustice of me not being born into an extremely wealthy family, I am sure that I will have a lot of support for this from all of my friends out there, so for that I thank you. Oh and the Twin`s not winning Big Brother.
Chris.

Answer 5

The American Revolution

(Only kidding! It worked out best for the Brits - got rid of a millstone Lol)

BTW - Ashley - if, as you say, the vikings were the first to the Americas - how did that stop Columbus and the Conquistadors? They were first, they have the records to prove it and the Conquistadors still decimated the mayans and the incas.

Answer 6

I deplore 7/11 but subsequent events were not right in the main our (UK's) involvement in Iraq so would change that and the sinking of the Belgrano - that was awful as they had turned and were retreating Thatcher did not need to do that at all, as well as doing away with the onset of Nazi-ism (shooting Hitler?)

Answer 7

The closure of all the industry, and taking the business abroad, all the parents and teachers, and shopkeepers giving the do-gooder a back-hander concerning the youngsters. They might be employable instead of demanding their own way with no power to stop them.

As well, the hanging of Derek Bentley. He was inncoent, and would not have hanged if were not a policeman who got killed.

The shooting of JFK, he didn't want to go into Vietnam.

Making laws abiding by the bible instead of common sense.

Witch trials.

Answer 8

I would undo the the abomination that was the holocaust and in doing so the Palestinians would at last have what is there's again and the Middle East might finally be at peace.

Answer 9

Slavery and apartheid. Can't decide between the two though you could argue they're one and the same thing. No rights, under the thumb of supposedly superior beings. Good question. It provokes all kinds of other issues

Answer 10

The Holocaust

Answer 11

That Columbus was the first to find the Americas. He wasn't the Vikings found it 300 years before and have the records to prove it. Makes you wonder how the world would have turned out. For one thing we would have the Olmec and Mayan , yes books, that were destroyed by Columbus and his conquistadors tring to Christianize the natives.
