2. As an anthropologist, I know races don't even exist. It is racist to think they do.

I've done the math, we are all closely related, like it or not: The One Trillion Principle

We certainly need a solution to disparity transcending the trickle down to people of color that greater prosperity brings. A living wage for 40 hour work ethic directly resolves the poverty problem for those with employment and is a society-wide economic stimulus to increase employment everywhere. That's the best start I can think of, impact everywhere every paycheck. Anyone thinking reparations should think clean air and water, better education, affordable home ownership, non-exploitative housing, community gardens, parks and playgrounds, tuition-free higher public education, in other words, think of everyone as one community all building a better future together. Thinking has to change, the simple math helps see now we are all one family.
