I have read more than a few stupid plans to address the systemic injustices towards Black Americans. I don’t think reparations (a few or even thousands of dollars for the sins of slavery) is a good idea.
On the other hand, Buttigieg’s plan is an fully realized, out of the normal thought process, plan towards addressing structural problems and bring a sense of fairness going forwards. It isn’t reparations, it isn’t quotas, it is a new way of looking at these problems. And it is a younger take on it without much of the baggage older people of all races bring.
Take a look here. It’s a great plan.
(From On Tyranny) 2. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of "our institutions" unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. They fall one after the other unless each is defended from the beginning. So choose an institution you care about -- a court, a newspaper, a law, a labor union -- and take its side.
