In your op you quote a guy stating:
"It's sad you know because this what happen, because they not helping the black community, like you know, the rich people they got all this money, and they not like you know tryin to give us none."
Not the best articulation, I know, but here's the thing. The Jews and the Japanese were paid reparations for the injustices that they suffered, but were not able to do the same for black people?
You guys look at it like it's a handout, but people actually put in hard labor and were paid nothing, how about paying their families for all that free labor.
Those generations had nothing to pass down to their children hence the economic inequality.
If you want to balance scales you must remove weight from one side and add to the other. Eliminating the policies that created the unbalance in the first place, simply leaves the scales unbalanced.
How would one go about doing this? I don't know, but I would focus on the major corporations that profited off of slavery.
But what does this have to do with my comment being sarcastic or not?
That's the thing, I don't think you were being sarcastic.
