Yes, and those communities have had equal rights for a long time now. (As they should) Everybody's ancestors were mistreated at some point. We can't move forward to a better tomorrow by living in the past or by continuing to treat people differently based on the colour of their skin. |
Very true and that general idea applies to everything really. For example I'm gay and it would be an understatement to say that gay people had it rough in basically every country till pretty recently but that doesn't mean it'd be justified to give reparations for past homophobia. In countries like mine people like me can live equal lives now so equal treatment should be the goal or otherwise there could be an uptick in homophobia as backlash and in general it's trading one kind of discrimination for another which is not a good path.
There's also that most or at least many of the people in a group getting special treatment and many others who promote that sort of thing aren't gonna want it to stop even when it blatantly should so eventually it just becomes completely unjustified discrimination with no end in sight which only adds to the backlash.
