(18,124 posts)Japanese American got apologies and reparations(wwII). Descendant s of slaves will never get reparations. Never. BS knows this, HRC knows this. Every white person knows this. We will be "discussing" the shameful era that created this issue into perpetuity with the result being....NO 40acres and a mule....never. White people feel nothing about this era in American history except to tsk tsk the "cruel institution", Grant some voting and civil rights 50+ years ago as recompense and those only after it was perceived by the PTB that the AA community had deep rumblings of discontent because of racist laws and racist treatment by the majority Caucasian population....the racism is still a big problem today...21st century.
Politicians in America are vote seeking pragmatists who will NEVER alienate a voting bloc over something 99.9 percent of them could give less than a damn about.
Never expected from one who has been watching the racial climate degrade since JIM CROW.
