I'm not backpedaling at all. While it was meant in jest in reply to the extremely stupid idea of giving a group of people a large sum of money for basically screwing them over for hundreds of years, when the cold hard fact that a very large percentage of them live in poverty and are addicts to drugs and alcohol. It would almost CERTAINLY result in a lot of them spending that money on more drugs and more alcohol and the vicious cycle would just continue, except there would be no more reserve for them to go back too.
