we would still have radical wealth inequality based on race.
The only thing that can level the playing field is reparations.
And so it's not about taking money from good, hardworking white people and put it in the pockets of poor Black people.
That is a trope that is silly and nonsensical.
It's about investing in the things that there's never been the political will to do in earnest
