    Again, @britishmuseum — you stole these items by force. You looted and stole them. Return them now.https://twitter.com/CNNAfrica/status/1067776798476296192 …

    Here are some Benin bronzes on display at the British Museum in London. The collection was looted wholesale in 1897 when the British army sacked the palace of the once-mighty Kingdom of Benin, in present day Edo State, Nigeria. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images) pic.twitter.com/2ANheKUyZx

        If they return everything they've stolen they would have to close down the museum.

        Returning it means they'll have to admit what a**h*oles they were in the past, that won't be happening anytime soon. Even though now they are looting their own people!

        Europeans are the only race inclined to conquest & looting. Our species would be enjoying a legacy of historic peace right now had not that first hominid wandered out of Africa & pursued the neolithic revolution laying the basis for disease, warfare & human conquest.

        That’s not all they stole. Return the Elgin Marble to Greece.

        It makes me sadder that the art from Africa average date from the mid 1800. How disrespected Africa was by the rest of the world that save Great Zimbabwe, which also was nearly distroyed by Europeans too because they didn't belive Africans could create great works.pic.twitter.com/tYSzFIE8Yh

        If the British museums have back everything they stole most would have nothing to look at. We stole their culture, wealth, history and futures

        The British museum loftily thinks it is "the world's museum" but it's really just imperialist garbage.

        Plus pay for the shipping and provide the full conservation records since they stole it and also give the current funds the British Museum has budgeted for care of objects and climate control to the new institution.

        Agreed, looting and stealing should be returned. But the Easter Island statue was a gift. Am I reading that wrong?
