If ever there were a way to revitalize supremacy movements and encourage a race war, forcing members of a race to pay for the sins of their ancestors is certainly the thing to do.
Large majority of white and blacks ancestors had zero to do with colonial slavery and immigrated after WW2. Notice how I said colonial slavery. As the can of worms during the medieval, feudal, and tribal periods not a single humans forebearer's hands are clean. Where do we draw the line? At the last iteration of which not a single person is alive that partook? That infact their direct descendants fought to end? That THEIR direct descendants expanded upon and even made more equitable. To this day if you're a minority in the west and apply for consideration in nearly any process. You will be given preferential treatment. Jobs, contracts, applications, assistance, housing, funding, education, admission, ET AL.
Some say reparations need to be paid; I counter with they already have been. They've just been taken for granted.
I have to agree.

Not advocating but I am pointing it out.

As a racist myself, I agree.
Everyone is racist. We just have to get over it.
Some of us more than others.
