    1. Because you’re unable to read, there were 2 separate parts. Acknowledgement of historic harms requires teaching the reasoning that led to historic harms and explaining how and why they led to harms. Reparations reverse historic harms.
    2. There’s more than 1 minority in North America that has suffered historic harms.
    3. Reparations come in many forms, including but not limited to money.

    You only think it’s dumb because you’re a dumbass.

      I know what reparations are. Explain how reparations will make white supremacists go away. They could certainly help minorities feel better about the past but it isn’t going to change how white supremacists see minorities or limit their indoctrination strategies. If anything, reparations give white supremacists another talking point when complaining about how repressed they are.

        As mentioned in a separate response, reparations aren’t a standalone cureall - expecting them to operate as such is myopic.

        Additionally, responding to cultural injustices on the nazis terms is not a good idea. Going on the backfoot emboldens them further, and leaves the current generation believing accountability has limited range.
