No one ever said that reparations would 'change society' or 'fix' the system(s). Reparations is a necessary but not sufficient first step to healing the wounds inflicted by the past and repairing the grievous damaged done to the Social Contract. Is why I think we also need to have a discussion about socio-economic based affirmative action programs. I read somewhere that social mobility in contemporary America is now WORSE than it was in medieval England. That is some seriously scary and depressing shit.
Both of these (reparations and socio-economic based AA) are pipe dreams, my own set of hobby horses, I guess you could say, and ideas that have less chance of transpiring than the sun rising in the west and setting in the east.
