Just because it was in the past, doesn't mean that it wasn't unjust. And I see very little done to repair those injustices, so perhaps that's why people "cling" to it.

There's a lot that can be done. We can return a lot of ancestral lands or make reparations. We can respect the lands that are sacred to Native Americans. We can make reparations to the enslaved. We can stop lying in history books. Instead there is resistance to that.

If the wealth accumulated from 400 years of free labor still exists & is being enjoyed by the descendants of the enslavers, then that also means that reparations can be made to redistribute that wealth to compensate for stolen labor.

Interesting that you think equity is punishment. But as I mentioned to another like-minded person, I've never seen an abusive personality type that ever thought making amends was a good thing.
