Thats not remotely true. In 1865, African American men were given the right to vote, own land, get a job, and access to education by this country. Native Americans got none of that until 1924. Thats why they got the money, just for clarification.
Now, I get segregation and the klan and Jim Crow and all of that still meant that the gap was ridiculously unfair all things considered, but say you got nothing at all is insane. And yes, many white criminals escaped justice for their actions against African Americans for years. Yes, separate but equal was bullshit and needed to be eliminated. Yes, its completely stupid that Barack Obama gets to walk around with the label of being the first black president, instead of just being a President. I am not disqualifying systemic racism, and if the governor of Florida asked me to teach my students that slavery was provided beneficial skills to slaves, Id probably be fired.
But to say you got nothing is historically inaccurate. The unfortunate reality is that no amount of money is going to fix the crimes that took place against slaves and those that suffered in the Jim Crow South. And the Supreme Court just told millions of borrowers to go fuck themselves because of their student loan debt. So using the same law that gave African Americans the right to vote, I find it very unlikely that Congress or the Supreme Court would ever recognize the legality or necessity of sending out checks to minorities who are already citizens.
Really we should be happy we got basic rights as citizens? Jobs that were applied for and always denied. Business started only to be harassed by white people and cops till it was either burnt down or forced to close down. Your ignoring a lot. The fact of the matter is black people still start farther behind the rest of you. We're still struggling to be heard and every time we gain an inch we're pushed back even farther because of racist right wing assholes.
