Again though, if it's a socioeconomic issue, then efforts to address it should be based on socioeconomic status, not race.

The solution to discrimination is to end discrimination, not discriminate in the opposite direction.

If the government bulldozes my house and then turns around and says "you should use the standard public assistance for homeless people" I think I would rightfully be pissed off.

While there should be larger scale efforts to aid those who are struggling financially, the government has a specific responsibility to the communities it directly harmed.

If something was done to you personally, sure. You're not owed special treatment for something that happened to people who look like you before you were even born though.
