That particular fear goes -aaaaaaaaallllll- the way back to the civil war, lol. Strangely, no one ever got their 40 acres or their mule. Just like free speech wasn't murdered, our way of life is still intact, our civilization is not a crumbling heap of ethnic ruin, and the white race hasn't been discriminated against, stigmatized or genocided.
We did, though, get the now normalized alt right..and Scrotus. I think it's more than a little bit ironic that the established left is losing their shit, now...when anyone could have seen this coming as far back as the 90's.
Reparations is actually a pretty long and well-adopted idea. It's not really just some corner of the Internet thing or something some nitwit said that the alt right picked up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reparations_for_slavery
You read the wiki you linked, I take it? One unsuccessful bill in centuries. One. Did it involve taking money from the white mans pocket and putting it into the black mans pocket? In a word, no. That we have to dig deep to find something even remotely salient should be telling, but it isn't..at least not to the alt right or those ailing from white anxiety. I find myself wondering what dystopian alternate reality they wake up in every day.
