Should Europe pay restitutions for the damage they did to Africa?

Or other parts of the world for that matter? It could certainly be argued that Europe's exploitation of Africa did more damage and is causing more harm than what America did to the African Americas here. And it would be a lot easier to implement and be more effective since you could just pay for schools road and things to promote development instead of just handing money to individuals.

Maybe because there is a lack of connection between the history involved and present day problems.

And LBJ or his estate would have allowed such a comment to get out?

I agree that reparations would be extremely difficult if not impossible to implement fairly.

According to wikipedia, it was more than a myth, though not much more
