The important thing is establishing that one group has too many resources which rightfully belong to some other group. The rest is implementation detail.

I understand the arguments, but I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with the police taking someone's house from them because they're white.


No one will take your house for that reason by itself. But they might take it when you can no longer afford to pay the mortgage because you were convicted of a drug felony where you were given a harsher sentence than someone of a different race, after being arrested under suspicion that others wouldn’t be. As a result you can’t find a job after release from prison.

Sounds racist. I’m not comfortable with that.
