> Native American's also have nearly all of the same issues + more and you don't really see anyone advocating for reparations for them. You actually do, it's called the "land back" movement. The idea is the same in both cases, which is to say restorative justice. Reparations for black people is to compensate for the non payment of labour under slavery and land back is to compensate for stolen land from native people. Poverty traps are generally evil, true, and I think that UBI or something like that is a good way to address ahistoric poverty - but poverty rooted in historic actions by the American government should be addressed too, because black and native people today are still suffering from the repercussions of those actions. Germany addressed its actions in ww2 with reparations and concessions, it's a pretty typically American thing to not want to right America's historic wrongs.
