I completely agree too. A tree is known by the fruit it bears. What has 'wokeness' grown? To me, it all looks like a mess of cancelling, humiliating and crushing people who don't agree, violence, riots, thoughtlessly smashing things up, overwrought emotionalism and sensationalism, absence of logic and respectful dialogue....it's faux individualism taken to the extremes and encouraged by those who puppet their programmed foot soldiers. Show me the soup kitchens, the creches, the homes for homeless people, the money they've raised and donated to projects to directly help disadvantaged people, show me the good of 93 different sexualities, the knee-bowing to criminals and overwrought mobs, the dictatorial imposition of redefinitions and the prohibition of a whole range of adequate words...where is the love? And let's emphasise: in the whole history of the world, no such totalitarian counter-culture movement/revolution has ever ended well.

It seems to me that their 'reason' is that those descended from 'non-slave' families all benefited more through the years from the profits of slavery. Well, dig back that far in the family history of the majority of the non-slave family people and you'll find indentured servants, subsistence labourers tied to lords of the manor, indentured apprenticeships, child and female labourers literally locked up each night after long days of work, even full-on slavery in some parts of the British Isles:parts of Ireland and Scotland where people were owned and starved. We don't teach this in schools, we don't talk about how our ancestors were abused.I'm fine with reparations - as long as they include the many millions of us white people, descended from people who were driven at the point of a musket out of their hovels to make way for sheep, or were starved and beaten out of their homes etc by the soldiers of the elites and frogmarched onto ships removing them, like live cargo, to anywhere else that would have them with nothing more than the clothes on their backs.
