That's a very reductive argument. There's been 250 years of systemic
prejudice against a people that somehow needs to be remedied. The
people who've lived under those conditions are the poorest, most
incarcerated, least represented citizens.

Our current administration is actively removing tributes to
famous and successful African-Americans.

I'm not claiming reparations are the solution I'd choose, but the
problem persists.
