Here's the funny part, he says:"As I researched these problems for my latest book, I did wonder whether anyone claiming to speak about reparations had done any real thinking on it."But argues:"In his (Ta-Nehisi Coates) view, there was a precedent for American reparations in the money paid to Israel after the Holocaust by Germany. But this was a payment made immediately after a genocide, not two centuries after a barbaric trade."So his argument is basically if the government can deny you justice long enough, it should be absolved of all responsibility for the initial injustice and any "fallout" thereafter. He doesn't seem to realize he is advocating for government unaccountability. As he is questioning whether other people have "done any real thinking on it", I wonder if HE has.White people literally do a disservice to themselves by going against Reparations. They want a just nation without giving people justice and wonder why there is so much injustice.
