Because he's not the person (government) who instituted the systemic racism that caused so much of the harm done to black people in this country and it's not on him to provide the recompense that OUR government, by way of their racially discriminatory policies, procedures, practices, statutes, court rulings, social more, etc. should provide.Why doesnât he donate some of his billions that heâs made from the opportunities that the country has given him?
doesnât it also defeat the whole systemic racism and blacks canât get anywhere myth when youâve got an American black billionaire?
And no, there has never been a myth that you can't get anywhere if you're black in our country. But why should other people be lawfully allowed to make your life harder than it would be or has to be because of racial envy or white supremacist beliefs. How would you like it if a whole race or ethnic group of people were allow LEGALLY to screw you over whenever they felt like and you had no recourse? You can't file a police report, can't sue them, if you stand up for yourself, a mob could show up at your home and torch it and send you and your family running for your lives or worse.
That's just the physical part of it. What about all of the stolen labor, taxes, wealth, etc.
