the federal government was complicit in allowing slavery to African Americans. The federal government was also complicit in allowing blacks to be discriminated against in housing, education, employment etc. You name it, the federal government was causing havoc in African American lives. Due to their complicity, generational wealth was denied to the African Americans. Your privilege that you enjoy today, yes you have that, had given you an advantage. Now. the federal government needs to right it's wrongs. Yes, it will have to come from taxpayer funds, like all payments from the federal government. Why are the farmers being bailed out? The farmers don't respect Americans enough to grow food for Americans. All they grow is for sale overseas. Yet, my tax dollars are being used to bail them out. Why. because someone waived a wand and started a trade war because of the misuse of tariffs.
