I'm begging you,
read my posts. Do you know what form reparations would come in if I were in charge? Better schools in poor neighborhoods. More after-school programs. More recreational centers in poor neighborhoods. More scholarships. More job training. Get rid of mandatory minimums.
These things would help all the poor. Why call it reparations? Because black people are disproportionately poor and imprisoned.

By amount? Yes, absolutely, but it's fuzzy math simply comparing numbers. There are a lot more white people in the US than there are black people, so saying there are more white people doesn't actually speak to the problem.
Proportionally, black people are more poor than white people.
