I stated I don't expect white also suffering around me to pay more taxes because of atrocities their ancestors might have don't to my family. You respond by pivoting to some other family. My point remains regardless of whoever the family. Did white people suffer when reparations were paid to the Japanese for their internment? To the Aleuts of Alaska? Or the other numerous reparations payouts over the last century? It would be great if racial equity and restorative justice could be achieved by good faith, but over the course of history in this country far too many times the opposite has occurred. We've had to make piecemeal measures over time with no real teeth for economic redress. And restitution is not a "sins of the father" outlook, it's a claim against the Federal government.
