I have done enough genealogical research to be confident in this. However, I know that even with that my ancestors leading up to and including myself have benefitted from the systemic oppression that has existed in this country towards people of color, specifically those of Africa descent.

All of that being said, there are much better ways to make up for the damage done to the generations of descendants of slaves that have been prevented from generating the generational wealth due to policies enacted to keep them in a vulnerable position.

My ancestors didn't even come here until the 1910's where they were regarded with the same "well, here come the non-assimilating rapists" rhetoric we now  hear thrown at Mexico while people like me are lumped in with the outraged whites.  Now that's progress.
