I think the damages from slavery so dwarf the Japanese damages that they are essentially unpayable.

If Barack Had said

“In remembering, it is important to come to grips with the past. No nation can fully understand itself or find its place in the world if it does not look with clear eyes at all the glories and disgraces of its past. We in the United States acknowledge such an injustice in our history. The internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry was a great injustice, and it will never be repeated.”

Instead of bush, America woulda flipped out.

Why?

Because we did bad by black people and never made amends…
