Truth I have no reason to be guilty-that simple.
For the rest of you. Reparations. Real historical reality. There is almost no group in the United States that could not demand reparations. The Indians? The Irish, many came over as indentured servants, slaves for 14 years. The apprenticeship system you were a slave for 7 years. The Chinese came over to build the railroads, many died doing that and then it was made illegal to employ them. The Japanese, were interred at the start of WWII. The blacks and slavery. We are indoctrinated how evil it was. Go figure there were blacks that owned slaves.
Reality, is far different and far more complex than the mindless hate that drives many.

It would be POSSIBLE to decrease black and white "friction". it would require a somewhat "big brother" solution that most people would NOT go for. But, for argument's sake, the government could increase the blending of races by paying women and couples to give birth by artificial insemination to children of races different from themselves. Increased blending would likely decrease friction. Of course, many people would find fault with such a system that it would NOT be utilized. I guess that it is possible that in a few hundred years that the whole earth's population is blended. And maybe even national borders are eliminated then?
