The greatest reparations whites could give blacks is to leave them alone, so they can fix the shattered remnants of their broken culture.
Talking with my haircutter today, I learned that she originally got a degree in business and then trained to be a nurse. She quit nursing because she couldn’t stand “bodily fluids” and eventually became a (very good) haircutter. She said her mother believed in education and brought her up with a “standard American” accent.
The haircutter said she didn’t learn Ebonics until she was an adult.
