I Don't Understand

I have mentioned before that I have colon cancer and when one is diagnosed with cancer they ask lots of questions. Why me? What did I do wrong? Did I drink too much? Did I smoke too much? Did I eat the wrong things? There are a ton of other questions but this story presents one that in a million years would never have crossed my mind. I just find it really really hard to comprehend. So is the logical question here to be is this part of the reparations owed to blacks?
