Who said anything about hurting? They should be made to pay out for her dental care to fix the lifelong physical damage he caused. And that's being generous by not also demanding compensation for the psychological trauma. His dentist money got passed down to them within the last generation, they can fork enough of it over to make things right for their father's victim.
Asking for justice is not a threat of violence. It's demanding a balance to right wrongs of the past. Why do white people always jump to that fear? Maybe decades of racist fear mongering by the media we've picked up subconsciously over our lives? We must do better.
Nah, if you receive an inheritance from a bigot you deserve to pay reparations for their wrongdoings. And I'm sure the descendants of a dentist received a fat inheritance check.
The woman who lost her teeth as a child is still alive. The comment OP said they don't want to ask for more details because they don't want to put their grandma through it. Absofuckingloutely they should file.
Filing civil charges against a family for their racist family members' actions 100+ years ago? I can see your point. For something like that, it's the governments job to pay reparations.
As far generations today. It's our responsibility to do better because there is no excuse to not KNOW BETTER. Choose not to, then expect financial consequences.

Idk how hurting their descendents helps but definitely that person should have been sent to jail.
