minus-square@InverseParallaxlink1•2 years agoAgreed, they deserve reparations, but the slavers also deserve to be punished. If they’d behaved after the civil war it would be one thing, but they were monsters with Jim crow and the kkk and they never once properly apologized. Unless you want to count thousands of statues of Nathan Bedford Forrest and everybody flying the confederate flag to be an apology, which I don’t.
