The descendants of slaves deserve reparations and the descendants of indigenous Americans deserve land back. For the people against those, this really puts it into perspective for me: We gave Jews a whole country.

Can someone explain the concept of land back? Because strictly speaking all of the Americas should be returned, and millions of people will go… to some other place

There are different perspectives in the movement ranging from give some, like expanding reservations or reviving treaties that we signed and ignored, to give all and kicking all non natives out. And there are various problems with either side. Personally I advocate for the former rather than the latter
