I don't know. As long as we can't determine who is the best for any given job, we all suffer. Be it by personal bigotry or state sponsored color diversification.
Maybe I should've never typed what I did. It's not like I go around telling everyone about what happened to me as though it's some agenda I have and maybe I just needed a release and that's what happened here. But my point was that moneys that I could've used were held back from me in favor of someone else with a different color. That sounds like a reparation to me. It's become more than just politically correct to be racist against someone of white color in contrast to the many civil codes barring anyone from being racist towards anyone else. Remember, what I heard was coming from the state and the person who said this in front of me had no fear in saying this aloud for all to hear. I personally wish in your example that the chief had said this aloud for more to hear causing him a loss of employment. His personal feelings do not serve his department well at all. But, is there any sundown clause in affirmative action? Drat, now I'm getting off track.
I sometimes think of that day and wonder if they ever did put all the money to use. If not, then again, we all suffer. The more educated peoples we have the stronger and better we are as a group...black, white or polka-dot.
Anyway, many blacks had already long lost their freedoms in Africa before being sold to America and the suit should be directed there. And, it appears that some reparations are being made, though not by a direct check in their mail but in more indirect ways.
