I don't really doubt that this happened, and was done intentionally. That said, what is to be done about it? The only real way to do justice is to start at 0, not at -60. Do right now. If we try to compensate for all historical wrongdoings, then we will never accomplish anything.
I sort of agree with this, but it's definitely easy to just say. The housing side was way WAY worse.

I'm simply saying that there is nothing that can be done now that would not be damaging and deleterious to those who own the property lawfully. It sucks, it really does. I would be pissed as hell about it. However, you can't punish people waaaay after the fact. All you can do is ensure that it doesn't happen again, at least from a legally sanctioned/supported POV.
