It's rather ironic that white liberals took up this cause. And convenient for Deform movement. Because originally the blacks who insisted upon reparations, specifically demanded those reparations from JEWS, not whites. Because they believe Jews have the most money and believe (falsely) that JEWS were the ones who orchestrated dominated the white slave trade.
Now that white liberal leftists have made a self-flaggelation policy of reparation for blacks a normalized policy stance, by jumping on this bandwagon the Deform movement is deflecting the blame from itself by the people who actually demand the reparations.
