The Call For Reparations Isn’t About Justice, It’s About Power
FTA:
Coates does not believe this. To him, America was from the beginning a regime based on injustice and theft and violence. His 2014 Atlantic cover story on reparations is not so much an argument for reparations as an argument against America.
...
Another way of expressing this is to say that America is irredeemable, and that in order for justice to prevail, the regime itself must be destroyed—violently, if necessary. Coates has hinted at this.
...
If you oppose reparations—just like if you oppose immigration or gay marriage or transgenderism—you are not a good person.
...
The goal here isn’t to heal or to bring together, but to divide.

Laws must be applied equally or they don’t matter
FTA:
If you tell one group of individuals that, for whatever reason, there are certain laws they no longer have to abide by, it’s not long before everybody else begins to believe that there’s no reason they should be held accountable for any crimes they commit either.
Here’s the deal for any society: either all the laws have to be enforced for everybody, across the board, or pretty soon they’re not going to be enforced for anybody.
The only alternative is to start repealing all the laws that are apparently optional for some people, but not others. Fair’s fair, right? Isn’t that what the 14th amendment is all about – equal protection under the law?
