In the article Darby discusses the racial injustices and inequalities in the world. Black and white people are divided and black people are at a disadvantage. Throughout the article he talks about how no reparations have been made to fix the past injustices. Darby mentions an approach of corrective justice. This means readdressing the past issues and getting rid of them completely. I agree with Darby that racial injustices should be eliminated and reparations should be made.
Why do you agree that root problems of racial inequality should be disregarded? Do you agree that reparations, no matter the way in which they are gone about, are needed? If so, who should pay? Or is it a moral issue revolved around human attitude?

ReplyDeleteI think the need for reparations is at the upmost importance, but what I think needs to be done more than anything is to spread awareness. We can't go forward until we look back and see why our society is the way it is. I think going back to past issues is essential, but I think we really need to focus on ways to improve, like Darby says by focusing on self development and freedom. The damages done from racial inequality can never be repaid, but I think something we should be doing is recognizing what happened because this is an issue that still exists today.
