Don’t get it twisted; everyone knows that racism still exists. It’s reprehensible, but it’s always going to exist. Tribal behavior is coded into our DNA.
But taking money from those who were never slave owners, which is precisely what would happen through taxes, and giving the money to people who were never slaves, is not how we solve the many issues plaguing black America.

What would help California and other parts of our country would be lowering the cost of living.

There is no way to go back in time and erase what happened.
