The reality is no one can go back in time and change things. Our lives are what we make out of them. It certainly sucks for anyone who got dealt a bad deal. But over history bad deals have been dealt across the bird at one time or another.
Not slavery, for a number of reasons, but I do owe my station in life in part to the systemic discrimination against people of color in this country.
