"On Wednesday, the issue of reparations for slavery will be a topic of discussion on Capitol Hill during a hearing scheduled by the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Civil Liberties “to examine, through open and constructive discourse, the legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, its continuing impact on the [African America] community and the path to restorative justice.”"
Let's do this. White people view reparations as cutting a check for something that they are generationally not responsible for. Black people view reparations as receiving a check for something that they generationally deserve to help level their current opportunities.
I'm generalizing I know, but let's discuss how we theoretically get past this issue.
