No, black people’s generational wealth is the one that has been stolen with slavery, then segregation, then Jim Crow laws and then systematic racism. In order to help black people even have a fighting chance compared to the average white household, reparations are needed particularly for blacks.
So we leave out the homeless guy on the verge of death, because he's white. And we make sure Kanye and Oprah still get cut in?
The goal should be for a basic standard of living for everyone, not ensuring that rich people of color get the appropriate bump in their investment accounts.
You’re say this like Oprah would even notice getting reparations.
