your point is cruel and ignorant of the world. yes, everyone was enslaved/murdered. but in america, for example, japanese people wwre put in camps 80 years ago. they are still alive today. black men were lynched in the 50s. there had to be a nationwide movement to grt civil rights and end segregation. it was not a long time ago. it was not millenia ago.
your point is so utterly disingenuous it begs the question: why do you have such vitriol for understanding that certain groups are not treated preferentially? is paying attention to minorities and their plight so egregious?
not everything caters to the white cisgender heterosexual christian man.
The difference between you and me is that I live in the world I’ve seen, you live in the world the news media has shown you. If you are actually a Caucasian American I can say with 99% certainty you have never personally witnessed a police officer murder _anyone_ let alone an African American. Furthermore, the statement I made was an implication that reparations as a concept is absurd, not that African American slaves haven’t been made to suffer in the semi-recent past. The point is that every people, every race, has at some point been a victim of slavery, torture, suffering, genocide, and so on. Reality is cruel. The obsession with semi-recent American history is just cherry-picking based on your own personal experience and history, it has nothing to do with the philosophical moral imperative of reparations.
