Why is reparations even being discussed. It's just wrong on so many levels. Society changes, things that were acceptable now aren't, we can't retroactively villify all acts we now deem unacceptable. What we should be concerned with is the here and now. If there's a proposal to increase equality in the here and now I'll listen to it. Saying your great great great grand parent was a slave doesn't make that case. Second why just black people. As far as I can go back on my family tree, I come from Welsh miners. I'm not going to compare it to slavery but it was undeniably shit. Do I deserve compensation for that? What about my forefathers and mothers not having the vote? My great granddad might have identified as gay or trans, do I deserve compensation for that? What about past attempts to get rid of the Welsh language?
