Comment: If the U.S. were still roughly 90% white and 10% black, I do think whites would be ready to implement “reparations” policies as a final effort at black/white assimilation.
However, now that blacks are just another identity group, it’s never going to happen. When over half the country has jumped on the identity politics bandwagon, any targeted social justice policies become impractical or outright impossible. And, honestly, people like the good professor here have no one to blame but themselves, with their continual willingness to tack “Muslims, Latinos, women, etc.” onto “black.”
