I do not support the ideology or philosophy of "sins of the father" in any way shape or form for descendants generations down. I do not care about sins of something over 100 years ago that makes innocent individuals 100 years later pay for restitution through their tax dollars to the descendants. No I do not believe justice should always be paid no matter how much time has passed that future descendants must bare. While what has happened to my ancestors was an terrible, no I don't support restitution from people who did nothing to me or my family. While pretending it's not punishing them for things they never did, while they (friends and acquaintances of other races) are also going through many of the same struggles I am, a black person. Those things were not some "super long time ago, in the mystical before times" events. I know a lot of people feel like the Civil Rights movement was a long time ago, but I'm pretty sure most of us have parents old enough to remember things like integration & the marches in Alabama as the government sicced dogs & loosened fire hoses on the protests there. I'm sure a few here still have grandparents who can give you a first hand recount of the times. We have Bernie Sanders, a politician who was literally right there for MLK, & he's still alive. The Civil Rights movement is still within living memory. The US has compensated for almost every group it wronged, so why is it always so complicated for Blacks? --- Remember kids, it's only an RPG until someone gets hit with a meteor; Then it's a JRPG!
