What if, for example, Pell Grant's were only made available to white people as were FHA and VA loans, credited with creating the middle class in America. That is just one example of how the disparity of today was linked to actions approved by the government far later than slavery. After slavery ended, is still de facto existed via the Black Codes and Jim Crow. The more I learn about American history, the more I believe reparations are deserved. They were given to the Japanese, slave owners after the Civil War, Slave owners in Britain, France just kept charging Haiti for its freedom to keep paying those colonizers that lost revenue. It's not as if there isn't a precedent.

One time in America where Black people were given land and tools as reparations, it was later taken back after the freedmen had improved the land and given to the original landowners. Maybe you're not so much healed as uninformed?
