Dude, just don't. I've said what I have to say about it. Just as you tried to tell me (in another thread) with your word salads that I owe reparations to the black community you are once again trying to tell me who I am. You don't know anything and you and I are done with this conversation. 

Shame on me for trying to help you understand something from a different perspective. For as much [BLEEP] as I give you I also try to give you the benefit of the doubt. No more.

I just asked two questions about who you are. That's the opposite of telling. 
All I'm trying to show is that, even though we are both white people who grew up in the south, your experiences were very different from mine and therefore we each know things about the south that the other does not.
And I never said you would owe reparations to the black community.  I asked if you benefited from generational wealth that was created during the redlining era.  You did not.  And even if you did, it's basically impossible to turn that into a government tax anyhow.  It was just a question.  I know that I've benefitted from some generational wealth, but I'm not sure if it came from the redlining era. I don't think it did.
