Beautifully written and points well taken. I'm sure you've read the famous Ta-Nehisi Coates essay "The Case for Reparations" which echoes many of these ideas. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2014/06/the-case-for-reparations/361631/

It was my first introduction to hard facts of systemic racism. I've loved both your essays in Fourth Wave so far and look forward to the next one.
