And by ancestors, they're probably referring to their grandparents. The last people to be born into chattel slavery died in the 70s.

Compensation? They should be fucking executed!

It wasn't made possible by it. But it was still shameful they were excluded.

What people mean when they say it was made possible by the exclusion of minorities, is that due to the exclusion of minorities, they were allowed to happen.

Ahh yes, that makes more sense.

They've drawn too much hair on John Fetterman but otherwise

It wasn't possible because they excluded minorities. They just did that for fun.

Edit: Apparently I misinterpreted this. Another meaning could be that they would have never implemented these programs if they had to serve minorities as well. So it was made possible by excluding them.

If it helps, none of those people are ever going to see a dime of it. It's just another grift for Trump.

Let's be clear though, this has nothing to do with any kind of reparations. It's payment for future service.
