[Dot]

Slavery was not “us” not knowing any better. Unless you are a direct descendent of one of the few formerly slave owning families still in existence, it had nothing to do with you. Hence, it also had no direct consequence to African Americans living today. However, it is true that decades of Jim Crow laws that deprived blacks of jobs, farm loans, educations, etc. affected how much inherited wealth was passed down through the years. The answer is not to write checks to individuals, it is to strengthen programs that keep poorer blacks out of gangs, in school and away from unwed parenthood.
