npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 (npub1g0t…tvm4) I think we have to abandon the fantasy that there is a benign way to use race to enact privilege--taking money from some people and giving it to others. Even if it were not the case that many descendants of enslaved people are also descendants of the slave masters, and that many white people came to the country long after slavery had been abolished, it is unrealistic to assume that this type of reparations would not inflame rather than resolve racial animosity.
