The persistent present effects of past racial injustice cannot be repaired by equal treatment alone.
That's based on your subjective feelings. What does "repair" mean? Why not just get rid of the race in question if you feel like the discrimination never ends?
That's based on your subjective feelings.
No. It's arithmetic. Equal treatment from unequal starting points does not erase the gap. Wealth compounds, advantages are inherited, and so are disadvantages.
Treating everyone equally today does not make yesterday's accumulated inequality disappear.
So at the very least, allow us to help ourselves without using contract law to stop those efforts.

That's how it should be. On a national level you as an English speaker and US citizen are inheriting these kinds of advantages. But for you to say that's not good enough and demand an equal footing to white Americans puts all those other inequalities that you benefit from in jeopardy.

That is what's happening. We're dismantling the federal government's ability to do anything about anything. If we separate economy from state then no racial discrimination is feasible.

Then you shouldn't have treaded. It's too late now. Vengeance was normalized and insisted on, you're still insisting on it, so now the other side wants their revenge too, and there's no moderates left to help you. How did you expect this to go?
I appreciate your honesty.
"there's no moderates left to help you."
'tough luck"
I just want someone to say it with all their chest!
But do you understand why a system where children get to keep what their parents give to them, is better for you than one where everyone has to be flattened to have the same starting point from birth? Because we can implement the latter very easily with a civil war. Everyone starts from zero and has equal opportunity in that situation, because a $500 gun becomes worth infinitely more than a $1,000,000 house, so you then have just as much opportunity as anyone else.
But without war, you have to accept the fact that some people, however you want to group them, will have more money than you because their parents give them assistance.
Peace drives up wealth inequality because money is accumulated through trade. To attack wealth inequality means leveraging guns to compete with private equity.
What I understand is that private organizations and individuals should be allowed to create financial support for underserved racial groups, and workplaces and schools should be allowed to pursue racial diversity through lawful means without federal interference.
You are better off from being born into a system where the answer is "tough luck"
Even though you couldn't come out and say it cleanly. I respect the fact that you tried.
Enough for me. At least you vaguely acknowledge that is what is being said.
The persistent present effects of past racial injustice cannot be repaired by equal treatment alone. As the video I posted shows, that is not enough to repair what remains.
