This reasoning sounds very eurocentric. You talk about monetary values - rich, poor, diamonds - without taking into consideration that other civilizations, have other values, and these should be respected. At least as a proof of actual decolonisation.
The issue with colonialism and coloniality is that it destroyed (and still does actually), the way of being of thriving communities around the world to the point they are not able to be self-sustained as they used to be, before the colonisers arrived there.
I argued against Europe having benefited from having colonies in the Europe community, which by its nature is eurocentric.
As I said Europe should pay for its crimes and I fail to see, that crimes need to benefit the criminal to be considered crimes. However that obviously makes reparations a lot more complex.
The statement in your first paragraph (that you later try to prove as true) is flawed because it is eurocentric.
Eurocentric does not mean talking about Europe. It’s about having a biased perspective that favors or exonerates western civilisations for crimes they committed. Among other things, of course.
In other words you are saying that I am a racist.
