Quite literally the best commentary on reparations I've seen in my 40+ years of life: https://youtu.be/fVa-HAsB-xQ [4 minutes total]
- Poor whites may have been poor, but they sure as Hell weren't in danger of being arrested for "vagrancy" for being unemployed and then worked to death in a convict-leasing scheme the way black people were.
  
  (Or, getting back to the specific topic of this thread, having their neighborhood firebombed for being too "uppity" whenever they did actually manage to succeed.)
Biden is the primary author of the war on drugs crime bill. He deserves this. It is not unusual punishment... it already happened so precedent! Trump too. As well as MOST federal politicians. IF. THEY. DON'T. GET. THEIR. SHIT. TOGETHER. REAL. FAST. MY patience is wearing incredibly thin. I have the most strategic leverage of anyone on the planet so. Nut up or shut the fuck up. C'mon now, kill me or uh. Get in line. NOW.
