True! Real reparations are systemic. A one-time payment doesn't fix anything.

@BohemianBabe what does systemic even mean? preferential college admissions and hiring quotas? generational welfare? subsidized housing?

@SusanInFlorida We should have a universal basic income, so generational welfare in that sense. And yeah, we should have free housing. That, plus expanding the ACA and raising the minimum wage would end poverty.

@BohemianBabe it there any place in time or history where giving everyone extra money did anything except cause overpopulation and consumerism?

@SusanInFlorida Raising the living standards doesn't cause overpopulation, it actually reduces birthrates.
