The point is to aim for equality not aim for superiority (some getting extra help others getting none) because of the past because you will overshoot and it’ll just be a pendulum going back and forth and each time somebody is worse off than the other because of their race. Treat everybody the same and we will eventually all be the same.
I agree that systems of aid should be income-based and not race-based, but the idea that we will somehow overshoot and end up in a society controlled by nonwhite people is pretty reactionary.

You’ve completely lost the plot. The purpose of race-based aid is to offset systemic inequality that still exists to this day.

Let’s assume that’s how it works, what’s the time frame? “Eventually” is the operative word here, how many lives are we good with systematically fucking just so we can pretend this is a non-issue that will sort itself out?
Lol I responded with actual evidence of progress in a reply to a different one of your comments that you completely ignored. There is no “pendulum model” here, but clearly you just want to keep your beliefs based on anecdotal nonsense.
Yeah racism ended with slavery and there have been zero lasting repercussions that need addressed.

Don’t know, but it’s certainly not all of them forever which is a what will happen if it keeps the pendulum model.

Well as a white man I personally haven’t noticed any!
