I will say, as a black man, one thing as a reparation would be ensuring that black voters the right to free access to polls was restored. One memory of the last election was watching the news and seeing the polling places in areas that supported Trump with their short orderly lines while the deep South polling places had long snaking lines of black voters who had been there for hours. I am not to fond of the “both sides”-ness of trying to restore justice without admitting that black people in America were done an injustice. I remember a military video, post liberation of a concentration camp, where the US military paraded the citizens of the town through the camp where they could pick up the skulls and teeth of their neighbors, peer into the open graves and ovens, and remind themselves that this was a reality that they were responsible for.
