Any sane and rational white person knows in their heart that the US government has inflicted great injustices to black Americans and owes us reparations. You can't move forward as a nation without at least attempting to right the wrongs of the past. In the grand scheme of things slavery wasn't that long ago and what proceeded afterwards was another century of systematic oppression. Black Americans in this country have gotten screwed in epic proportions when you really look at things in a larger perspective. As a people its incredible what we've managed to accomplished so far. We're suppose to be a completely broken people but we aren't.
