I'm sure you're aware of the so-called Restorative Justice philosophy that has invaded public schools. People living today must compensate for what people who shared a similar skin complexion hundreds of years ago did. It's an attempt to create an original sin doctrine based on skin color. There is no peace or forgiveness to be found in this so-called Restorative Justice ... only divisiveness and resentment.
This is a welcome contribution towards working for society based on cooperation and not shaming. What makes the Woke shaming worse is that it blames the innocent. Wokers are very Calvinist in their approach. One is predetermined to be bad or good before birth and the sign of whether one was blessed and among the good is a dark skin hue, while those who light skin hues are all to blame. Wokeness has no room for individual character, making MLK irrelevant. The Woke and the White Supremacists are cut from the same cloth. We have the answer already. Individual inalienable rights where everyone cooperates to build a society where each individual is uplifted. It matters naught if someone's education was deficient because he grew up motherless with an alcoholic abusive father in Appalachia or in Detroit and was forced to join a gang. Let's be honest, a lot of 19th century immigrants grew up in worse conditions that South Central LA.
People who have done nothing wrong have nothing for which to repent and to claim that they owe restoration is extortion. Inherited guilt is bigotry.

I am and you are spot on. It is a perversion of what I tried to articulate here.
