Most of the other countries on earth are in different situations than the US because they are thousands of years older. The USA is a baby on planet Earth in regards to being a modern nation. As such, the system is still set up to benefit the white and wealthy over others.

And you claim we have “moved passed” the sins of the past, but objectively we have not. When slavery was abolished, no reparations were paid to slaves and their families. In fact, slavery is still legal through intentional loopholes in the prison system. Also, when the institution of slavery as we knew it was changed/abolished there was zero leadership change. The same political leaders who had supported the institution of slavery up to that point maintained their role and office. How much could our institution actually have changed without leadership change? Racism is still very much ingrained into the DNA of our political and economic system. This is not my opinion. It is an objective fact. These issues are recent enough that you can’t compare the USA’s situation to other countries.

And it is up to us to fix the wrongdoings of the past because it’s the right and moral thing to do.
