This is the flimsiest rationalization I think I've ever read. "The past is full of injustices, so why care about recent injustice?" Really?

You’re misrepresenting me. I don’t understand why recent injustices are more worthy of reparations than older injustices, and when does the statute of limitations expire? I just don’t understand how the accounting works. This is clearly different than “not caring about recent injustices”.

What? Here[1]? That was posted an hour after my post.

I get that you feel strongly about your opinions, but you’re coming off as rude. Apologies if I’m mistaken.
