Black Poverty 1990 32%; 2022 17%. Black representation in the middle 60% of income = 13% (= to their representation in the population) up from 9% in 1990. Just two of the metrics demonstrating the trajectory of black Americans over the last generation. When will we quit pretending all Blacks are poor and uneducated?
Other issue is that biracial marriages have gone from 4% to 20% since 1980; meaning if the trajectory holds we will see biracial kids become ubiquitous shortly. Race as a category gets more amorphous.
Which is, of course, the way every dopey white liberal racist views the black community. As children who can't get by without their tender ministrations. And what happened? Their "great" society destroyed the black family. Their education systems and demented teachers unions destroyed generations of black kids. Their paternalism and stupidity has created a depraved culture of drugs, fatherless kids and chaos. Nice handiwork. And now their reparations argument demands that the rest of us pay for their stupidity.
Look at the root problem now, not what was from 150 years ago.
Lousy education, broken families and crumbling infrastructure hurts these people the most.
Fixing those problems will do the most to lift them up permanently.
Writing a check is like a lottery win. And like most lottery winnings it will be gone in short order, and then what?
Yes, makes me think of Vegas and CoVid checks

Race doesnтАЩt exist. Race is a social construct. DidnтАЩt you know that? ЁЯШЙ
The root problem is a mentality that one is helpless, deeply aggrieved, and cannot get by without handouts.
