Tokens of recognition aren't currency that you can use to buy redemption, I find this comment particularly ironic when this other article exists, perfectly capturing a symptom of the state of denial that the US find themselves in wrt to their tumultuous history: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30261610

Germany didn't get over their trauma by having "Jew day" and "please stop treating humans like cattle" bill while routinely allowing their members of society to deny education to their children

I think the school system is a failure for many blacks, but they aren't denied an education. I think we need a system where black parents can send their kids to a better school than their local school.

The problem is this is not a black problem, but a poor problem. Poor areas, regardless of their racial makeup, have worse schools. This has nothing to do with race, but class.

I agree that just giving a day or month or whatever doesn't solve the issue, but when the people involved are all dead, we can't exactly hold a Nuremberg Trial equivalent. We also have a first amendment so we can't ban racism like Germany did with Holocaust denial.

The evidentiary standards used at Nuernberg would be problematic in the US today.

Poor Whites and Asians still have better outcomes than similarly poor Blacks.

Woman are now doing better in school than men. Does that mean that the school system is sexist against boys?

School haa been remade and reprioritizatized to enable women to perform better.
